Hydromedusae off the Orange River Mouth, Southern Africa
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor& Francis, 2003)
A total of 242 zooplankton samples from the upper 100 m of the water column was collected discontinuously from March 1997 to January 1999 off the Orange River mouth on the west coast of southern Africa. Six species of ...
Evolutionary history of the Corallinales (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) inferred from nuclear, plastidial and mitochondrial genomes
(Elsevier, 2011)
Systematics of the red algal order Corallinales has a long and convoluted history. In the present study, molecular approaches were used to assess the phylogenetic relationships based on the analyses of two datasets: a large ...
Feeding and vertical migration of the chaetognath Sagitta friderici (Ritter Zahony, 1911) in the southern Benguela during spring 1987, with notes on seasonal variability of feeding ecology
(NISC and Taylor & Francis, 1994)
The feeding biology and the vertical migration of Sagitta friderici were examined over 24 h at two stations in the southern Benguela during spring (October) 1987. Together with studies conducted during summer (February ...
Observations on the pelagic decapod Pasiphaea semispinosa in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
(NISC and Taylor & Francis, 1994)
Information on vertical and horizontal distribution patterns, abundance and morphology of the decapod Pasiphaea semispinosa in the Benguela upwelling system is presented. P. semispinosa is the dominant pelagic decapod in ...
Trophic ecology of carnivorous zooplankton in the Benguela
(NISC and Taylor & Francis, 1992)
Carnivorous zooplankton in the Benguela system have tended to be ignored by all but early taxonomists and a handful of recent researchers. An attempt is made here to address the importance of carnivores in this system but, ...
Heydrichia cerasina sp. nov. (Sporolithales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from the southernmost tip of Africa. Phycologia, 51(1): 11- 21
(International Phycological Society, 2012)
A new species of Heydrichia (Sporolithales), H. cerasina sp. nov., is described, found only on pebbles in the low intertidal zone along a 10 km stretch of the South African south coast from Cape Agulhas to Struisbaai. The ...
Rapid assessment of tissue nitrogen in cultivated Gracilaria gracilis (Rhodophyta) and Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta)
(NISC, 2009)
Tissue nitrogen content and thallus colour were quantified using a rapid assessment method based on the Pantone® matt uncoated formula guide for raft-cultivated Gracilaria gracilis Steentoft Irvine et Farnham at Saldanha ...
Structure of rhodolith beds from 4 to 55 meters deep along the southern coast of Espírito Santo State, Brazil
(Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2007)
Rhodoliths are one of the most extensive benthic communities of the Brazilian continental shelf, but their structure is poorly
known. The richest marine flora of Brazil’s coastal zone is found in Espírito Santo State and ...
An invasive alien Proteaceae lures some, but not all nectar-feeding bird pollinators away from native Proteaceae in South African fynbos
(Plant Biology, 2021)
Invasive alien plants often influence pollinator visitation to native plants when sharing pollinator guilds. It is of conservation concern when the invasive alien plant is characterized by floral resources that attract ...
The chromista
(Wiley Online, 2003)
As a group, the chromists show a diverse range of forms from tiny unicellular, flagellates to the large brown algae known as kelp. Molecular studies have confirmed the inclusion of certain organisms once considered Fungi, ...
