It was hoping to catch a glimpse of Vulpecula, the ‘Little Fox’ constellation in the northern sky, we expect.

Knowledge of the diets of New Zealand's extinct moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) comes from careful analysis of moa coprolites (fossilized poop) and gizzard contents. Moa coprolites and gizzard contents can be dissected and analyzed under the microscope or using DNA identification techniques to decipher what the birds ate. The contents can also be screened to see what seeds the birds may have dispersed. Jamie Wood with a moa coprolite [Credit: Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research] Most of what we currently know about moa diet is heavily biased towards just three species in the South Island (South Island giant moa, upland moa and heavy-footed moa), which represent about 90% of all identified coprolites and gizzard content samples. By comparison, the diets of the other six moa species are poorly known. In the study, published in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews, researchers from Manaaki Whenua—Landcare Research discuss their recent discovery and analyzes of a new coprolite deposit in Fiordland National Park. Using DNA analysis and known moa species distributions, they attributed the deposit to the little bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis), a small-to medium-sized moa species (50 to 90 cm tall, weighing 26 to 64 kg) that formerly occurred in lowland closed-canopy forests throughout New Zealand. Janet Wilmshurst and Jamie Wood searching for coprolites and other artefacts [Credit: Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research] Lead researcher Dr. Jamie Wood said this rock shelter deposit is scientifically very important "as it is the southernmost site from which moa coprolites have been recovered, with the longest documented timespan of coprolite accumulation (~2200 years) preserved within a sediment horizon in a single place. Until now, only five little bush moa coprolites have previously been identified, all from central Otago." Dr. Wood said "pollen and plant DNA from the coprolites, as well as associated plant macrofossils, show that the deposit spans a period when the forest canopy was transitioning from conifers (dominated by miro, matai, totara and mountain toatoa from the Podocarpaceae family) to silver beech (Lophozonia menziesii) dominance about 6800 to 4600 years ago." Two moa coprolites in situ during excavation of the Borland Burn Rock Bivouac, South Island, New Zealand [Credit: Wood et al. 2021] DNA, pollen and leaf cuticle fragments of the red mistletoe (Peraxilla tetrapetala), a species usually associated with silver beech, were also found in the little bush moa coprolites. The nutritious leaves of this mistletoe are highly palatable and today are also sought out by the introduced possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and browsing mammals such as deer. The little bush moa coprolites contained very few seeds compared with other analyzed moa coprolites. Co-author Dr. Janet Wilmshurst said "this observation was interesting because it contrasts with what we know about other moa species which played an important role dispersing tiny seeds (<3 mm) of many plant species in their droppings. The near absence of seeds in the little bush moa coprolites indicates they were not important seed dispersers, and that they may have been targeting the largest conifer seeds which get totally ground up in their muscular gizzards and destroyed rather than dispersed." Detail of an illustration of two moa [Credit: Wikipedia/Heinrich Harder] Although this study confirms that the little bush moa was a browser of a diverse range of tree and shrub species in the forest understory, it provided striking new evidence that the foliage of ground ferns were an important part of their diet. Dr. Wood said "while little bush moa may not have been great seed dispersers, based on our finding of ground fern DNA, frond cuticle remains and high spore counts, they may have played a previously unrecognized role as dispersers of ground fern spores throughout New Zealand forests."
