-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-12)Please read abstract in article.
-
(Wiley, 2025)Globalization is increasing the threat of invasive forest insects to ecosystems. Control efforts against the same pest species progressively occur across distant jurisdictions as integrated pest management (IPM) programs ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-11)The genus Stasimopus is endemic to South Africa but has never undergone a phylogeographic review. This study aims to unravel the phylogeographic patterns and history of the many Stasimopus species which occur in the greater ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2025-01)Among the five known Trogidae genera, Polynoncus is the only one endemic to South America. Although the systematics within Trogidae is well established, the evolutionary relationships among Polynoncus species remain poorly ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-12)While studies often focus on density-dependent responses of ungulate populations to resource limitations at large spatial scales, the dynamics at smaller scales remain relatively unexplored. To address this gap, we ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Light is a fundamental attribute and key abiotic driver in forest ecosystems. Although the ecological effects of light itself is well studied, capturing the complex parameters that constitute the whole light environment ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-06)Arthropod vectors are responsible for a multitude of human and animal diseases affecting poor communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Their control still relies on chemical agents, despite growing evidence of insecticide ...
-
(Magnolia Press, 2025-02)A new species of Tomopterna is described from Banhine National Park, southern Mozambique. It differs from all other sand frogs by an uncorrected p-distance of 4.9–8.7% for 16S rRNA. The new species can be distinguished ...
-
(De Gruyter, 2025-01)The North African sengi (Petrosaltator rozeti syn. Elephantulus rozeti) is a small mammal endemic to the Maghreb area, and is one of the least studied mammals in North Africa. Little is known about its status, habitat ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-11)Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in mediating life-history processes, where it can compromise survival and reproduction through harmful alterations to DNA, lipids, and proteins. In this study, we investigated oxidative ...
-
(Springer, 2024-10)Endotherms vary widely in their capacity to defend sublethal body temperature (Tb) during acute heat exposure. Interspecific variation in the upper thermal limits of small mammals remains poorly studied, particularly in ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-09)Groups of wild animals can vary considerably in their composition, including in the proportion of group members who are male or female, that is the within-group sex ratio. Variation in within-group sex ratios can arise ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-02)Sperm production represents a costly reproductive investment by males. High reproductive competition within the female reproductive tract may select for higher sperm counts or quality resulting in selection for larger ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-10-18)Heat loss across the beak is an important thermoregulatory mechanism among birds, particularly in large-beaked taxa such as toucans (Ramphastidae) and hornbills (Bucerotidae). The number of species investigated remains limited, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-07-29)Hypometabolism arising from active metabolic suppression occurs in several contexts among endotherms, particularly during heterothermic states such as torpor. However, observed Q10 ≈ 1 for avian resting metabolic rate ...
-
(Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2024-08)A rare sighting of two male carrion specialist dung beetles, Scarabaeolus carniphilus Deschodt & Davis, 2015, burying a freshly dead Herald snake (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia (Laurenti, 1768)) is documented from its discovery ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Climate change threatens biodiversity by compromising the ability to balance energy and water, influencing animal behaviour, species interactions, distribution and ultimately survival. Predicting climate change effects ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is a damaging crop pest that has recently invaded and established across Africa from its native tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. To develop ...
-
(Pensoft Publishers, 2024-10)The Chimanimani Mountains of Mozambique and Zimbabwe harbour diverse and unique flora and fauna. Because of these unique floral characteristics, this region has received considerable attention by botanists. In contrast, ...
