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 ...
Records of ctenophores from South Africa
(PeerJ, 2021)
Although ctenophores can be conspicuous components of the plankton in coastal marine ecosystems, only six species have been formally described from around South Africa. Using photographs from local community scientists, ...
Creating opportunities through science symposia
(South African Assn. For The Advancement Of Science, 2020)
For most marine scientists, unless we work in the field of fisheries development or at the interface of science and policy,
it is rare to feel that we are making an impact on the lives of people in the wider community. ...
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 ...
Mesoscale structure of neuston assemblages across the southern Indian Ocean subtropical gyre
(Elsevier, 2022-12-28)
Despite concern around plastic pollution in subtropical gyres, our understanding of the biological component of
the neustonic layer (upper 20 cm of the ocean) in these areas is poor. Here we investigate the neuston ...
