The effect of anthropogenic noise and weather conditions on male calls in the bladder grasshopper Bullacris unicolor
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
Acoustic communication in animals relies upon specificcontextsandenvironments for effective signal transmission. Increasing anthropo-genic noise pollution and different weather conditions can disruptacoustic communication. ...
Environmental response and ph tolerance of induced co2 in ulva rigida c.agardh, 1823(Chlorophyta) under controlled conditions
(PAS FORUM, 2022)
The increase in integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA), where seaweed (particularly Ulva rigidaC.Agardh, 1823) is
used as a feedstock and a wastewater scrubber in South African IMTA systems, has necessitated research ...
A taxonomic revision of chamaecrista (caesalpinioideae, cassieae, cassiinae) in Southern Africa
(American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2022)
The southern African species of Chamaecrista were all treated under Cassia in Gordon-Gray’s treatment for the Flora of Southern
Africa. However, given the subsequent generic recircumscriptions in the subtribe Cassiinae, ...
In a rough spot: Declines in Arthroleptella rugosa calling densities are explained by invasive pine trees
(Wiley, 2023)
Basing conservation interventions on evidence is important for justifying their associated cost and gauging their effectiveness. For amphibians, the number of studies available to support conservation ...
Temporal partitioning of Bullacris unicolor (Orthoptera: Pneumoridae) calling activity to avoid predation
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Ecological interactions, including competition, predation, and environmental conditions, may significantly impact acoustic signal-ling behaviour. Here we characterise nocturnal signalling patterns in the bladder grasshopper ...
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 ...
Biocontrol Potential of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus tequilensis against Four Fusarium Species
(MDPI, 2023)
The use of biological control agents as opposed to synthetic agrochemicals to control
plant pathogens has gained momentum, considering their numerous advantages. The aim of this
study is to investigate the biocontrol ...
African rangelands and pastoralism in a changing continent: Perspectives and opportunities
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
Eighty-five years ago, Africa was described as a land of promise because it provided an immense opportunity for maximum return in the minimum time (Olaniyan 2000). It was treated this way because ...
Phylogeographic investigation of the bladder grasshopper Bullacris unicolor (Orthoptera Pneumoroidea) in South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
There are several factors, such as genetic drift, gene flow and migration that affect the population genetic structure and phylogeographic distribution of genetic lineages within single species. Previous studies of the ...
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 ...
