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. ...
Acoustic observations of jellyfish in the Namibian Benguela
(Inter-Research, 2001)
Multi-frequency acoustic data (18, 38 and 120 kHz) were collected in conjunction with pelagic trawl sampling for gelatinous macrozooplankton during a cruise to the Namibian Benguela in September 1999. Sampling focused ...
Towards the acoustic estimation of jellyfish abundance
(Inter-Research, 2005)
Acoustic target strengths (TSs) of the 2 most common large medusae, Chrysaora hysoscella and Aequorea aequorea, in the northern Benguela (off Namibia) have previously been estimated (at 18, 38 and 120 kHz) from acoustic ...
Determining the most appropriate feeding regime for the South African abalone Haliotis midae Linnaeus grown on kelp
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Beach-cast kelp (the most widely used feed for commercially grown South African
abalone) is plentiful during winter months when periodic storms cause kelp to wash
ashore. During summer, however, this resource is not ...
Clathromorphum tubiforme sp. nov. (Rhodophyta, Corallinaceae) in South Africa with Comments on Generic Characters
(Walter de Gruyter, 1995)
A nongeniculate, crustose coralline alga (Rhodophyta, Corallinaceae) from South Africa, is found growing epiphytically on fronds of species of the geniculate genus Ampiroa. Analysis of the vegetative and reproductive ...
Groundwater discharges to aquatic ecosystems associated with the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer: a conceptual model
(Water Research Commission, 2008)
This paper reports on a conceptual model that was developed to describe the different groundwater discharge ‘types’ from
the Table Mountain Group (TMG) aquifer, that contributes to the different components of the flow ...
A modern description of Crambionella stuhlmanni (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) from St. Lucia Estuary, South Africa
(Cambridge University Press, 2011)
A new record of Crambionella stuhlmanni is reported from the east coast of South Africa. The material is described using quantitative morphological data, and mitochondrial (CO1) and nuclear (ITS-1) sequence data. The species ...
Ecological significance of deep-layer sloughing in the eulittoral zone coralline alga, Spongites yendoi (Foslie) Chamberlain (Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta) in South Africa.
(Elsevier, 1994)
The crustose coralline alga Spongites yendoi (Foslie) Chamberlain (Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta) dominates the lower eulittoral zone along the South Coast of South Africa, together with the limpet Patella cochlear Born. This ...
Self-maintaining or continuously refreshed? The genetic structure of Euphausia lucens populations in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Populations of Euphausia lucens over the shelf of the southern Benguela upwelling region could be self-maintaining. Alternatively, they could be continually refreshed by expatriates from the SW Atlantic that enter the ...
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 ...
