Our Name

Our name reflects our purpose
|
Synecology is the ecology of relationships between different animals, and plants, within ecological communities
This includes predation, a deadly interaction that causes the decline of vulnerable wildlife populations
Synovus Technology seeks a new unification for ecological communities unbalanced by predation.
We use research, innovation and performance to develop products that will shift the equilibrium of predation to make invasive predators the prey so Earth's wildlife can thrive.

- 'Syn-' is a Greek prefix meaning 'united'
- 'Novus' is Latin for 'new'
- 'Technology' is the application of scientific knowledge.

Our Identity
|
Our product identity reflects our mission
We are a New Zealand environmental management business that is engineering innovative products to control predators and manage invasive species that threaten biodiversity and cause economic damage. We are bringing product innovations to market to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of existing wildlife control technologies. We are building this expertise on the years of combined field and engineering experience of our crew. |
Our Logo

Our logo reflects our ecological focus and embodies a famous ecological model.
The predator-prey model provides a great insight into the complex dynamics of predator-prey interactions, especially over long periods of time. You can read more about this famous model here. The model was developed by studying, among other species, the numbers of pelts of snowshoe hare and lynx sold annually to the Hudson Bay Trading Company by Canadian fur trappers. |

Lynx hunt snowshoe hares and their predator-prey cycle moves through four phases beginning at the bottom of the circle.
- In the lower right quadrant hares increase along the horizontal axis leading to increasing numbers of lynx on the vertical axis.
- In the upper right quadrant the lynx over hunt their prey and the increasing numbers of lynx cause the hares to decline.
- In the upper left quadrant both hares and lynx decline as the lynx run out of prey.
- In the lower left quadrant the hares begin to recover because of reduced lynx predation and they breed faster than their predator.
Lynx continue declining as their recovery lags behind the hares, before the cycle begins again.
