Does phylogeny have an influence on the date of first description? A comparative study of the world's fishes
(Elsevier, 2020)
The process of species description is not random, and understanding the factors that influence when a species is first described (the date of first description, DoFD) allows us to target environments and/or species' traits ...
Gyrodactylus molweni sp. n. (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) from Chelon richardsonii (Smith, 1846) (Mugilidae) from Table Bay, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
Gyrodactylus molweni sp. n. is described from the body surface and fins of the South African mullet, Chelon
richardsonii (Smith, 1846) collected from Table Bay Harbour, Cape Town and is compared to five other Gyrodactylus ...
ROV assessment of mesophotic fish and associated habitats across the continental shelf of the Amathole region
(Nature Research, 2021)
Understanding how fsh associate with habitats across marine landscapes is crucial to developing
efective marine spatial planning (MSP) in an expanding and diversifying ocean economy. Globally,
anthropogenic pressures ...
Quantification and characterisation of microplastics ingested by selected juvenile fish species associated with mangroves in KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2020)
Though the number studies on microplastic ingestion by fish is growing, data on fish species charac-
teristic of the South African coastline are scarce. This study quantified and characterised (physically and
chemically) ...
Community and marine conservation in South Africa: Are we still missing the mark?
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in South Africa have a long history with currently 5%
of the mainland’s ocean territory protected. The MPAs are celebrated and appreciated
for their representative coverage of several habitat ...
Marine seismic surveys for hydrocarbon exploration: What’s at stake?
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2022)
With a coastline extending approximately 3900 km, South Africa exercises jurisdiction over a vast Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) that exceeds 1.5 million km2
.

South Africa is located at an ecologically important ...
In silico analysis of a putative dehalogenase from the genome of halophilic bacterium Halomonas smyrnensis AAD6T
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)
Microbial-assisted removal of natural or synthetic pollutants is the prevailing green, low-cost technology
to treat polluted environments. However, the challenge with enzyme-assisted bioremediation is
the laborious nature ...
Does phylogeny have an influence on the date of first description? A comparative study of the world's fishes
(Elsevier, 2020)
The process of species description is not random, and understanding the factors that in-
fluence when a species is first described (the date of first description, DoFD) allows us to
target environments and/or species' ...
Null models for null hypotheses in taxonomy: A test using Scyphozoa
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Although molecular tools are becoming more important in the delineation of scyphozoan species there is,
perforce, a need to substantiate new species definitions using morphological data. Access to type material
is often ...
