  • Burrow structure and microhabitat characteristics of Nesiergus insulanus (Araneae : Theraphosidae) from Fregate Island, Seychelles 
    Canning, Gregory; Reilly, Brian Kevin; Dippenaar-Schoeman, Anna S. (Anna Sophia), 1948- (American Arachnological Society, 2014)
    The burrow structure and microhabitat variables of the little known theraphosid Nesiergus insulanus Simon 1903 were determined on Frégate Island, Seychelles. The species constructed burrows in fossorial substrates, including ...
  • Changes in elephant conservation management promote density-dependent habitat selection in the Kruger National Park 
    Robson, Ashley S.; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Wiley, 2018-08)
    In conservation, adaptive management relies on the assessment of past actions to improve conservation efficiencies in the future. Conservation management approaches for African elephants have recently changed, however ...
  • Epidemic risk of arboviral diseases : determining the habitats, spatial-temporal distribution, and abundance of immature Aedes aegypti in the urban and rural areas of Zanzibar, Tanzania 
    Saleh, Fatma; Kitau, Jovin; Konradsen, Flemming; Kampango, Ayubo Amisse; Abassi, Rahibu; Schioler, Karin Linda (Public Library of Science, 2020-12-07)
    BACKGROUND In Zanzibar, little is known about the arboviral disease vector Aedes aegypti in terms of abundance, spatio-temporal distribution of its larval habitats or factors associated with its proliferation. Effective ...
  • The faunistic diversity of spiders (Arachnida : Araneae) of the South African grassland biome 
    Haddad, Charles R.; Dippenaar-Schoeman, Anna S. (Anna Sophia), 1948-; Foord, Stefan Hendrik; Lotz, Leon N.; Lyle, Robin (Taylor & Francis, 2013-02)
    As part of the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA), all available information on spider species distribution in the South African Grassland Biome was compiled. A total of 11 470 records from more than 900 ...
  • A global database of ant species abundances 
    Bishop, Tom R.; Gibb, Heloise; Dunn, Rob R.; Sanders, Nathan J.; Grossman, Blair F.; Photakis, Manoli; Abril, Silvia; Agosti, Donat; Andersen, Alan N.; Angulo, Elena; Armbrecht, Inge; Arnan, Xavier; Baccaro, Fabricio B.; Boulay, Raphael; Bruhl, Carsten; Castracani, Christina; Cerda, Xim; Del Toro, Israel; Delsinne, Thibaut; Diaz, Mireia; Donoso, David A.; Ellison, Aaron M.; Enriquez, Martha L.; Fayle, Tom M.; Feener (Jnr), Donald H.; Fisher, Brain L.; Fisher, Robert N.; Fritzpatrick, Matthew C.; Gomez, Crisanto; Gotelli, Nicholas J.; Gove, Aaron; Grasso, Donato A.; Groc, Sarah; Guanard, Benoit; Gunawardene, Nihara; Heterick, Brain; Hoffman, Benjamin; Janda, Milan; Jenkins, Clinton; Kaspari, Michae; Klimes, Petr; Lach, Lori; Laeger, Thomas; Lattke, John; Leponce, Maurice; Lessard, Jean-Philippe; Longino, John; Lucky, Andrea; Lessard, Jean-Philippe; Luke, Sarah H.; Majer, Jonathan; McGlynn, Terrence P.; Menke, Sean; Mezger, Dirk; Mori, Alessandra; Moses, Jimmy; Munyai, Caswell Thinandavha; Pacheco, Renata; Paknia, Omid; Pearce-Duvet, Jessica; Pfeiffer, Martin; Philpott, Stacy M.; Resasco, Julian; Retana, Javier; Silva, Rogerio R.; Sorger, Magdalena D.; Souza, Jorge; Suarez, Andrew; Tista, Melanie; Vasconelos, Heraldo L.; Vonshak, Merav; Weiser, Michael D.; Yates, Michelle; Parr, Catherine Lucy (Wiley, 2017-03)
    What forces structure ecological assemblages? A key limitation to general insights about assemblage structure is the availability of data that are collected at a small spatial grain (local assemblages) and a large spatial ...
  • Seasonal patterns of habitat use by insectivorous bats in a subtropical African agro-ecosystem dominated by macadamia orchards 
    Taylor, P.J. (Peter John); Monadjem, Ara; Steyn, Jacobus Nicolaas (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-12)
    We report on acoustic surveys of insectivorous bats conducted during seven months of the year using ANABAT recordings in two habitats (macadamia orchards and adjacent riparian bush) in a subtropical agroecosystem in ...
