Giants and titans: First records of the invasive acorn barnacles Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Megabalanus coccopoma (Darwin, 1854) on intertidal rocky shores of South Africa
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre (REABIC), 2022)
During intertidal rocky shore surveys on the east coast of South Africa in 2018, the
non-indigenous giant purple barnacle Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758),
a well-known fouling and globally-invasive species, ...
Self-maintaining or continuously refreshed? The genetic structure of Euphausia lucens populations in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Populations of Euphausia lucens over the shelf of the southern Benguela upwelling
region could be self-maintaining. Alternatively, they could be continually refreshed
by expatriates from the SWAtlantic that enter the ...
Climate change in coastal waters: Time series properties affecting trend estimation
(AMS, 2016)
In South Africa, 129 in situ temperature time series of up to 43 years are used for investigations of the
thermal characteristics of coastal seawater. They are collected with handheld thermometers or underwater
temperature ...
Metabarcoding of zooplankton to derive indicators of pelagic ecosystem status
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2022)
Zooplankton play a key role in marine food webs and carbon cycling and are useful indicators of climate-related changes and ocean health in pelagic ecosystems. Zooplankton are traditionally identified to species through ...
Environmental response and ph tolerance of induced co2 in ulva rigida c.agardh, 1823(Chlorophyta) under controlled conditions
(PAS FORUM, 2022)
The increase in integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA), where seaweed (particularly Ulva rigidaC.Agardh, 1823) is

Renosterveld conservation in South Africa: A case study for handling uncertainty in knowledge-based neural networks for environmental management
(International Society for Environmental Information Sciences, 2009)
This work presents an artificial intelligence method for the development of decision support systems for environmental
management and demonstrates its strengths using an example from the domain of biodiversity and ...
Understanding the creek dynamics and environmental characteristics that determine the distribution of mangrove and salt marsh communities at Nahoon Estuary
(Elsevier, 2016)
The southern distributional limit for mangroves on the east coast of Africa is thought to be at the planted
mangrove forest at Nahoon Estuary (33° S) in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This study investigated the influence
of ...

(Wiley, 2023)
Despite being an extralimital species in the region, South African giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis
giraffa, Schreber 1784) are continuously being introduced into the Albany
