It exhibits the generic characters of the damp-wood termite Stolotermes Hagen, but differs from forewings of the known species in size and venation pattern and is described as Stolotermes kupe sp. nov. S. kupe represents the first confident record of fossil Stolotermitidae and extends the fossil record of the family back to the Early Miocene. It also is the first direct evidence of fossil Isoptera from New Zealand, though silicified termite faecal pellets, referable to Kalotermes brauni, have been previously described. S. kupe indicates that Stolotermitidae has been present in the Australasian region since at least the Early Miocene.展开更多

It first discussed the academic structure and administration of the University of Otago and the Business School, including student and course administration system, degree and course structure as well as student activities and opportunities provided by the School. Next, this paper took a course as an example to discuss teaching methods, learning resources and assessments implemented by the Business School. Finally, this paper summarised the strengths of undergraduate education at Otago Business School.展开更多
