Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumes
(Elsevier, 2013)
Resolving the phylogenetic relationships of the deep nodes of papilionoid legumes (Papilionoideae) is essential to understanding the evolutionary history and diversification of this economically and ecologically important ...
Population ecology of Psammobates oculifer in a semi-arid environment
(Taylor & Francis and UNISA Press, 2013)
We studied the ecology of Psammobates oculifer over 13 months near Kimberley, South Africa, to ascertain if the population’s life history traits conform to chelonian patterns in arid environments. Capture rates were highest ...
