The decline of the Nile crocodile population in Loskop Dam, Olifants River, South Africa

Botha, Hannes; Van Hoven, Wouter; Guillette, Louis J. (Water Research Council, 2011-01)

The apparent decline in the number of Nile crocodiles present in the Loskop Dam prompted a study to determine the number, size and distribution of Nile crocodiles now present in the reservoir. The number of crocodiles in ...
Examination of the rumen bacteria and methanogenic archaea of wild impalas (Aepyceros melampus melampus) from Pongola, South Africa

Cersosimo, Laura M.; Lachance, Hannah; St-Pierre, Benoit; Van Hoven, Wouter; Wright, André-Denis G. (Springer, 2015-04)

Although the rumen microbiome of domesticated ruminants has been evaluated, few studies have explored the rumen microbiome of wild ruminants, and no studies have identified the rumen microbiome in the impala ...
Extent and fragmentation of suitable leopard habitat in South Africa

Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik; Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Somers, Michael J.; Van Hoven, Wouter; Dalerum, Fredrik (Wiley, 2013-02)

Large mammalian carnivores are threatened by anthropogenic environmental impacts, particularly through habitat loss which often cause population declines. Understanding the extent of suitable habitat is therefore of great ...
Factors affecting location failure of GPS collars fitted to African leopards (panthera pardus)

Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik; Dalerum, Fredrik; Van Hoven, Wouter (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2010-04)

Recent technological advances in Global Positioning system (GPS) technology have generated an increase in the use of GPS collars fitted to wild animals to track their movements. GPS units are advantageous compared to ...
Factors affecting the impact of off-road driving on soils in an area in the Kruger National Park, South Africa

Nortje, Gerhardus Petrus; Van Hoven, Wouter; Laker, Michiel Christiaan (Springer, 2012-10-16)

Studies on the effects of off-road driving on soils were conducted in the Makuleke Contractual Park of the Kruger National Park. The studies were conducted on three different soils with different textures and soil ...
Nile crocodile Crocodylus niloticus telemetry : observations on transmitter attachment and longevity

Strauss, Maartin; Botha, Hannes; Van Hoven, Wouter (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2008-10)

The aim of this study was to investigate transmitter attachment and longevity on Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) in the Flag Boshielo Dam, Mpumalanga, South Africa. From August 2002, 15 adult Nile crocodiles were ...
Quantifying the impact of off-road driving on root-area distribution in soils

Nortje, Gerhardus P.; Van Hoven, Wouter; Laker, Michiel Christiaan; Jordaan, J.C. (Joyce); Louw, Michelle Anne (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2016-04)

Studies on the effects of off-road driving on soils were conducted in the Makuleke Contractual Park of the Kruger National Park. The studies were conducted on three different soils with different textures and soil ...
The relative importance of trophy harvest and retaliatory killing of large carnivores : South African leopards as a case study

Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik; Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Somers, Michael J.; Van Hoven, Wouter; Dalerum, Fredrik (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2014-10)

There are considerable challenges in the conservation of large carnivores, caused by large area requirements, low reproduction rates and low population densities coupled with their tendency to cause conflict with humans. ...
Survival rates and causes of mortality of leopards Panthera pardus in southern Africa

Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik; Somers, Michael J.; Van Hoven, Wouter; Schiess-Meier, Monika; Owen, Gailey; Snyman, Andrei; Martins, Quinton; Senekal, Charl; Camacho, Gerrie C.; Boshoff, Willem; Dalerum, Fredrik (Cambridge University Press, 2015-10)

Estimation of survival rates is important for developing and evaluating conservation options for large carnivores. However, telemetry studies for large carnivores are often characterized by small sample sizes that ...
Three new species of ciliated protozoa from the hindgut of both white and black wild African rhinoceroses

Van Hoven, Wouter; Gilchrist, Frances M.C.; Liebenberg, H.; Van der Merwe, Christiaan F.; Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand (Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1998)

This report deals with the effect of the mode of feeding of the hindgut-fermenting herbivorous rhinoceros on the species of Protozoa fermenting the ingesta, as demonstrated by the proposed three new species of ciliated ...
Unusually high predation on chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) by female leopards (Panthera pardus) in the Waterberg Mountains, South Africa

Jooste, Esmarie; Pitman, Ross T.; Van Hoven, Wouter; Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik (Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre ASCR, 2012)

Leopards do not preferentially favour baboons as prey, but they are considered the primary predators of baboons across Africa. Even in areas where baboons are abundant, their contribution to leopard diet seldom exceeds ...
