-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2024-01)Wildlife farming, or game ranching, collectively termed here as the wildlife sector, has changed over the past few decades in South Africa, leading to growth in conservation and green economy, but resulting in an increase ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)Pine aphids represent a significant group of insect pests in coniferous ecosystems worldwide. To assess pine aphid prevalence and potentially new introductions in South Africa, aphid samples from various pine-growing ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-12)The dispersal of organisms in the Anthropocene has been profoundly altered by human activities, with far-reaching consequences for humans, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Managing such dispersal effectively is critical to ...
-
(Inter-Research, 2024-10)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Elsevier, 2025-02)Plant-derived phenylpropanoids are semiochemicals that are often highly attractive to Bactrocera (Diptera: Tephritidae) males. One of these semiochemicals, methyl eugenol (ME), is used in the male annihilation technique ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2024-09)Management of phytosanitary and biosecurity risks associated with the Cerambycidae focuses on prevention and early detection. Semiochemical-baited traps are an important component of these management efforts. Cerambycid ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)The handling of beached cetacean carcasses requires social, legal, financial, ecological and logistical considerations. However, limited research on the topic hinders informed decision-making. A large humpback whale carcass ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-07)The Critically Endangered seventy-four seabream Polysteganus undulosus, a slow growing sparid that forms spawning aggregations off South Africa, faced heavy exploitation from 1910 until a fishery moratorium was put in place ...
-
(Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2024)The Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a major citrus pest. The species has been introduced to West and East Africa, but has not yet spread to southern Africa, where ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Plant–microbe interactions significantly influence plant growth dynamics and adaptability. This study explores the impact of metabolites on microbial biodiversity in shoot tips and wood of Populus nigra under greenhouse ...
-
(Wiley, 2024)Leaf epicuticular waxes provide important anatomical and chemical defences against fungi that infect leaves. In this study we analysed the leaf wax composition of Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla hybrids with ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-10)An important consequence of the discontinuous distribution of insect populations within their geographic range is phenotypic divergence. Detection of this divergence can be challenging when it occurs through subtle shifts ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-05)No abstract available.
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-03)INTRODUCTION : Previously, we documented that the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae responds to volatile emissions from the root exudate water of the invasive plant, Parthenium hysterophorus. However, the origin of the ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2024-09)Bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production is undermined by soil degradation and low biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) capacity. This study evaluated the effect of black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) on bush ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-07)The Karoo region of South Africa is a unique and sensitive ecosystem which is facing pressure for development due to economic incentives such as mining, farming and shale gas exploration. The species diversity of many ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-10)The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a unique model mammal in which to study socially induced inhibition of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis. Naked mole-rat groups exhibit a high degree of reproductive ...
-
(PeerJ, 2023-05-29)BACKGROUND : Survival and gonotrophic cycle duration are important determinants of the vectorial capacity of malaria vectors but there are a limited number of approaches to estimate these quantities from field data. ...
-
(Nature Research, 2023-03-09)The Southern Ocean is a major sink of anthropogenic CO2 and an important foraging area for top trophic level consumers. However, iron limitation sets an upper limit to primary productivity. Here we report on a considerably ...
-
(Nature Research, 2023-10-19)Little is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change ...
