  • Combining ability and heterotic grouping of highland transition maize inbred lines 
    Legesse, B.W.; Pixley, K.V.; Botha, Anna-Maria (Istituto sperimentale per la cerealicoltura, 2009)
    The objectives of the present study were to examine combining ability of highland transition maize inbred lines for grain yield and other desirable traits, to determine heterotic groups of germplasm of the inbred lines ...
  • Deconstructing Jaco : genetic heritage of an Afrikaner 
    Greeff, Jaco M. (Jacobus Maree) (Blackwell, 2007-09)
    It is often assumed that Afrikaners stem from a small number of Dutch immigrants. As a result they should be genetically homogeneous, show founder effects and be rather inbred. By disentangling my own South African pedigree, ...
  • Genetic diversity, relatedness and inbreeding of ranched and fragmented Cape buffalo populations in southern Africa 
    De Jager, G.J. (Deon); Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Public Library of Science, 2020-08-14)
    Wildlife ranching, although not considered a conventional conservation system, provides a sustainable model for wildlife utilization and could be a source of valuable genetic material. However, increased fragmentation ...
  • Genetic rescue of an isolated African lion population 
    Miller, Susan M.; Druce, Dave J.; Dalton, Desire L.; Harper, Cindy Kim; Kotze, Antoinette; Packer, Craig; Slotow, Rob; Bloomer, Paulette (Springer, 2020-02)
    Fragmented wildlife populations are challenged by limited gene flow that can lead to significant inbreeding. The lion (Panthera leo) population in South Africa’s Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HiP) started from a small founder ...
  • Population diversity and relatedness in sugarbirds (Promeropidae : Promerops spp.) 
    Haworth, Evan S.; Cunningham, Michael J.; Tjorve, Kathleen M. Calf (PeerJ, 2018-06)
    Sugarbirds are a family of two socially-monogamous passerine species endemic to southern Africa. Cape and Gurney’s Sugarbird (Promerops cafer and P. gurneyi) differ in abundance, dispersion across their range and in the ...
