The effects of long-term exclusion of the limpet Cymbula oculus (Born) on the distribution of intertidal organisms on a rocky shore
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Zonation patterns on rocky shores are typically as a result of both physical factors
and biological interactions. Physical factors generally set the upper limits of species
distributions, while biological interactions ...
A hydrogeomorphological approach to quantification of groundwater discharge to streams in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
In South Africa, the flow requirements for maintaining the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems is termed the “ecological
reserve”, and these should be determined when a licence application for water allocation is ...
Growth of market-size abalone (Haliotis midae) fed kelp (Ecklonia maxima) versus a low-protein commercial feed
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The growth of grow-out abalone fed on kelp, with ca. 10 % dry weight protein
content, was compared with that of those fed a new ,ca. 26 % protein, commercial
feed in a flow-through system on a South African west coast ...
A catalogue with keys to the non-geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2008)
Non-geniculate coralline red algae are common in all of the world’s oceans, where they often occupy close to 100% of the primary
rocky substratum. The South African rocky subtidal and intertidal habitats in particular, ...
A water balance approach to the sustainable management of groundwater in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2000)
The water balance approach, based on the principles of conservation of mass, is applied to the issue of sustainable groundwater
management in South Africa, incorporating the ethos of the National Water Act of 1998, ...
Synarthrophyton papillatum sp. nov.: a new species of non-geniculate coralline algae (Rhodophyta, Corallinales, Hapalidiaceae) from South Africa and Namibia
(Elsevier, 2008)
Polychaete worm tubes within the mid to lower intertidal zone along the South African west coast were frequently observed to be overgrown by a minutely papillate species of encrusting coralline algae. Analysis of the ...
Effects of herbivore grazing on the physiognomy of the coralline alga Spongites yendoi and on associated competitive interactions
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) and Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The territorial gardening limpet Scutellastra cochlear occurs along the south and southern west coasts of South Africa, while one of its primary food items, the encrusting coralline alga Spongites yendoi, extends much ...
Conservation status of large branchiopods in the Western Cape, South Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Temporary wetlands are an ecologically and economically important habitat in South Africa. They harbor large branchiopods, known to be flagship species of nonpermanent aquatic habitats, and sensitive to land use changes. ...
HE 0230–4323: An unusual pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
HE 0230−4323 is a known binary, consisting of a subdwarf star and a companion which is not
observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper have shown it to be
both a reflection-effect and a ...
Development of infectious transcripts and genome manipulation of black queen-cell virus of honey bees
(Microbiology Society, 2002)
The South African isolate of Black queen-cell virus (BQCV), a honey bee virus, was previously found
to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a
5«-proximal ORF encoding ...
