(Blackwell, 2006-11)Behavioural observations were carried out on grey rhebok and mountain reedbuck at Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve, South Africa, for a period of 1 year between May 2001 and April 2002. Four harem herds of grey rhebok, five ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-04)The success of efforts to re-establish mammalian carnivores within their former range is dependent on three key factors : methodological considerations, the biological requirements of the target species, and the involvement ...
-
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-06)The role of territoriality was investigated by studying 25 impala rams at a reserve in the Waterberg region of South Africa (23°45'S, 28°23'E). Mean territorial tenure was 67.25 days (range 23–99), with a mean territory ...

(Agricultural Research Council, ARC-OVI and the University of Pretoria, 2008-03)The daily requirement for calcium and phosphorus by giraffes to sustain the growth and maintenanceof their skeletons is large. The source of sufficient calcium is browse. The source of necessary phosphorus is obscure, but ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-02)Tooth mark frequencies on long bones are examined from the assemblages of all three extant bone-collecting hyaenids. Comparisons are made with a recent study examining tooth mark frequencies and possible sources of variation ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2009-10)When a giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) lowers its head to drink, blood could enter the jugular vein from the inferior vena cava or regurgitate from the jugular veins into the cranial veins. We investigated the anatomy of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-12)There has been co-evolution of a long neck and high blood pressure in giraffes. How the cardiovascular system (CVS) has adapted to produce a high blood pressure, and how it compares with other similar sized mammals largely ...
-
(Royal Society of South Africa, 2010-11)Darwin’s theory for the evolution of the long neck of giraffes is that height confers access to browse free of competition from smaller browsers. The theory predicts that survivors of a drought will be the tallest animals ...
-
(2011)The origin of the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) African Foundation is described. The 16th WAAVP Conference held in South Africa in 1997 generated a surplus of ZAR 430 460 (US$ ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-01)We have measured lung mass and trachea dimensions in 46 giraffes of both genders ranging in body mass from 147 kg to 1441 kg, calculated static and dynamic lung volumes, and developed allometric equations that relate ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-03)This study aimed at understanding how landscape heterogeneity influences outbreaks of contagious diseases in southern Africa. Landscape attributes influence patterns of movement and behaviour of animal hosts, virus spread ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-06)Lion (Panthera leo) and caracal (Caracal caracal) skeletal muscle samples from Vastus lateralis, Longissimus dorsi and Bluteus medius were analysed for fiber type and citrate synthase (CS; EC 2.3.3.1), 3-hydroxyacyl Co A ...
-
(Springer, 2013)We studied the relationship between resource— food patch—richness and dispersion on group and territory size of black-backed jackals Canis mesomelas in the Namib Desert. Along beaches where food patches are mostly ...
-
(Potchefstroom: African Centre for Disaster Studies, 2013-02-22)For various reasons, Southern Africa may be considered the playground as well as the thinking tank for many theories and practices in the natural resources management field. History has contributed to reshape conservation ...
-

-
(AOSIS Open Journals, 2013-05-16)The abundance and distribution of parasitic helminths in populations of African buffaloes, Syncerus caffer, have not been well documented. A total of 28 buffaloes of different ages and sexes were sampled in the Kruger ...
