Davies, Andrew Byron; Eggleton, Paul; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-04)Although termites are ecosystem engineers in tropical and sub-tropical environments, the study of termite ecology is often constrained by sampling difficulties and a lack of established sampling protocols, particularly for ...

Asefa, Addisu; Davies, Andrew Byron; McKechnie, Andrew E.; Kinahan Anouska A.; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt (American Ornithological Society, 2017-06)The Afromontane forests of Ethiopia are global biodiversity hotspots, known for their high biological diversity and endemism. However, conservation of these areas is challenging due to increasing human threats, including ...

Davies, Andrew Byron; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt; Eggleton, Paul; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Springer, 2013-05)One of the many ecological processes expected to undergo alteration due to global change is the decomposition of organic matter, with little known concerning the effects that changing disturbance regimes may have. Fire, a ...

Trisos, Matthew O.; Parr, Catherine Lucy; Davies, Andrew Byron; Leitner, Monica; February, Edmund C. (Wiley, 2021-07)Global climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of droughts, with major impacts on tropical savannas. It has been suggested that during drought, increased soil moisture and nutrients on termite mounds could ...

Davies, Andrew Byron; Eggleton, Paul; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-02)1. Fire is an important disturbance in African savannas where it is generally assumed that high levels of pyrodiversity (variation in aspects of the fire regime) are necessary to maintain high levels of biodiversity. There ...

Davies, Andrew Byron; Eggleton, Paul; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Springer, 2015-05)Seasonal variations in temperature and moisture are strong drivers of biological activity and diversity. Termites are an important insect group previously shown to respond to seasonal variation, but results are mixed ...

Davies, Andrew Byron; Janse Van Rensburg, Berndt; Robertson, Mark P.; Levick, Shaun R.; Asner, Gregory P.; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Ecological Society of America, 2016)African savannas are highly seasonal with a diverse array of both mammalian and invertebrate herbivores, yet herbivory studies have focused almost exclusively on mammals. We conducted a 2-yr exclosure experiment in South ...

Davies, Andrew Byron; Levick, Shaun R.; Asner, Gregory P.; Robertson, Mark P.; Jansen van Rensburg, Berndt; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-09)Termite mounds contribute to the spatial heterogeneity of ecological processes in many savannas, but the underlying patterns and determinants of mound distributions remain poorly understood. Using the Carnegie Airborne ...

Variable effects of termite mounds on African savanna grass communities across a rainfall gradient Davies, Andrew Byron; Robertson, Mark P.; Levick, Shaun R.; Asner, Gregory P.; Jansen van Rensburg, Berndt; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Wiley, 2014-11)QUESTIONS : Termite mounds of the genus Macrotermes are prominent features in African savannas, forming nutrient hotspots that support greater plant diversity, which is of higher nutritional value than the surrounding ...

Leitner, Monica; Davies, Andrew Byron; Parr, Catherine Lucy; Eggleton, Paul; Robertson, Mark P. (Wiley, 2018-06)Woody encroachment can lead to a complete switch from open habitats to dense thickets, and has the potential to greatly alter the biodiversity and ecological functioning of grassy ecosystems across the globe. Plant litter ...
