(University of Pretoria, 2022-09-30)South Africa’s inshore Bryde’s whale (Balaenoptera edeni brydei) is the largest, resident baleen whale species occurring in our coastal waters. However, due to being one of the most elusive and shy marine mammals, there ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2002)The inter- and intraspecific taxonomy of the genus Lepus is highly controversial. Since these animals play an important ecological role as prey species, their conservation is of high priority. A prerequisite for adequate ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2006)Due to the nature of the marine environment genetic studies allow insight into behaviour and natural history that is difficult or impossible to identify by direct field observation. Current as well as historical population ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2005)Dusky kob, Argyrosomus japonicus and spotted grunter, Pomadasys commersonnii occur off South Africa’s southern and eastern seaboard. They are the preferred target species for both shore and estuarine anglers. In order to ...

(University of Pretoria, 2006-09-06)Presented in this thesis is the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b gene analysis of the phylogenetic relationships within the Apalis thoracica complex (600bp) as well as among selected African Bradypterus species ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Studying the distribution and demography of marine species is challenging due to the open nature of the oceans. This latter was historically believed to facilitate extensive gene flow among populations when clear barriers ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) phylogeography is in need of being revisited using techniques that have developed since the last investigation on the topic, some two decades ago. Here a fragment of the mitochondrial ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2007-11-08)The present thesis concerns the population history, evolutionary processes and phylogenetic relationships of lineages of the redfin minnow genus Pseudobarbus. First, the population history and evolutionary processes within ...
