Marine seismic surveys for hydrocarbon exploration: What’s at stake?
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2022)
With a coastline extending approximately 3900 km, South Africa exercises jurisdiction over a vast Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) that exceeds 1.5 million km2
.

South Africa is located at an ecologically important ...
Intercolony variation in reproductive skipping in the African penguin
(Wiley Open Access, 2022)
In long-lived
species, reproductive skipping is a common strategy whereby sexually
mature animals skip a breeding season, potentially reducing population growth. This
may be an adaptive decision to protect survival, or ...
DRIFT incorporating an eco-social system network and time series approach into environmental flow assessments
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
DRIFT (Downstream Response to Imposed Flow Transformation) is an interactive, ecological-social process and software package to assist with environmental flow assessments and river management decision-making. It was ...
Seed germination and early seedling growth responses to drought stress in annual Medicago L. And Trifolium L. Forages
(MDPI, 2022)
Climate change in the Mediterranean-like regions of South Africa has resulted in increased
rainfall variability, a delayed start to the wet winter season, and increased occurrences of out-ofseason summer rainfall events. ...
In silico analysis of a putative dehalogenase from the genome of halophilic bacterium Halomonas smyrnensis AAD6T
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)
Microbial-assisted removal of natural or synthetic pollutants is the prevailing green, low-cost technology
to treat polluted environments. However, the challenge with enzyme-assisted bioremediation is
the laborious nature ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
