Among the three major archaea orders investigated (i.e., Methanosarcinales, Methanobacteriales, and Methanomicrobiales), Methanobacteriales were encountered at highest concentrations (1.9 × 1011 gene copies mL−1).
We conducted ROMA run-off experiments with air-dried soil slabs (480 mm long × 190 mm wide × 50 mm deep) collected from four pastoral sites, representing three major soil orders in the North Island, New Zealand.
Comparing observed and expected values revealed three major phrase-order rules: 1) songs begin almost exclusively with chirps (Fig. 5a and Fig. 6); 2) trills do not follow buzzes, but instead always follow chirps or another trill; and 3) the majority (90%) of buzzes are followed by another buzz or occur at the end of the song (Fig. 5d and Fig. 6).
