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
used as a feedstock and a wastewater scrubber in South African IMTA systems, has necessitated research ...
In a rough spot: Declines in Arthroleptella rugosa calling densities are explained by invasive pine trees
(Wiley, 2023)
Basing conservation interventions on evidence is important for justifying their associated cost and gauging their effectiveness. For amphibians, the number of studies available to support conservation ...
Phylogeographic investigation of the bladder grasshopper Bullacris unicolor (Orthoptera Pneumoroidea) in South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
There are several factors, such as genetic drift, gene flow and migration that affect the population genetic structure and phylogeographic distribution of genetic lineages within single species. Previous studies of the ...
Dispersal and coastal geomorphology limit potential for mangrove range expansion under climate change
(Wiley, 2022)
Latitudinal range limits for mangroves on high-energy,
wave-dominated
coasts
are controlled by geomorphological features and estuarine dynamics. Mangroves
reach a southern global range limit along the South African ...
Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
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 ...
Initial evaluation of the care and rehabilitation success of Cape Cormorants Phalacrocorax capensis rescued from Robben and Jutten islands, South Africa, in January 2021
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
The population of the endangered Cape Cormorant Phalacrocorax capensis more than halved over the last three decades (BirdLife International 2018a). In January 2021, nearly 2 000 Cape Cormorant chicks were ...
The diurnal activity budgets of extralimital giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
(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
Thicket Biome of the Western Cape Province of ...
