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 ...
Investigating the resurgence of malaria prevalence in South Africa between 2015 and 2018: A scoping review
(Bentham, 2020)
Malaria remains a serious concern in most African countries, causing nearly one million deaths globally every year. This review aims to examine the extent and nature of the resurgence of malaria transmission in South Africa. ...

Review of in-situ and remote sensing-based indices and their applicability for integrated drought monitoring in South Africa
(MDPI, 2023)
The devastating socioeconomic impacts of recent droughts have intensified the need for
improved drought monitoring in South Africa (SA). This study has shown that not all indices can be
universally applicable at all ...
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 ...

Use of multi-source remotely sensed data in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in semi-arid environments, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
This study explored the use of multi-source remotely sensed data
in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics
in two distinct semi-arid sites in South Africa. The factors that
control the pool ...
