Ecology in a New Zealand context

I have been teaching the Ecology unit for Year 9's and the test is approaching. The test is focussed around introduced species and food webs, but the introduced species and food webs in question are based in British ecology.

For next year we should update it to include New Zealand examples. Possums as an introduced species would be relatively straight-forward to substitute I think and be able to keep the questions very similar to keep the task QUALMd

Possum's would also be animals that many of the students have experience with, especially those who are from farming and/or hunting backgrounds.
