  • The desolation of Smaug : the human-driven decline of the Sungazer lizard (Smaug giganteus) 
    Parusnath, Shivan; Little, Ian T.; Cunningham, Michael J.; Jansen, Raymond; Alexander, Graham J. (Elsevier, 2017-04)
    The Sungazer (Smaug giganteus) is a threatened lizard species endemic to the Highveld grasslands of South Africa. The species faces risks from habitat loss and fragmentation, and illegal harvesting for traditional medicine ...
  • Exploring the phylogeography of a hexaploid freshwater fish by RAD sequencing 
    Stobie, Connor Seamus; Oosthuizen, C.J. (Carel); Cunningham, Michael J.; Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley Open Access, 2018-02)
    The KwaZulu-Natal yellowfish (Labeobarbus natalensis) is an abundant cyprinid, endemic to KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. In this study, we developed a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset from ...
  • Finding stories in noise : Mitochondrial portraits from RAD data 
    Stobie, Connor Seamus; Cunningham, Michael J.; Oosthuizen, C.J. (Carel); Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley, 2019-01)
    many years; however, recent trends focus on genome‐wide analyses. One method proposed for calibrating inferences from noisy next‐generation data, such as RAD sequencing, is to compare these results with analyses of ...
  • Life on the rocks : multilocus phylogeography of rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) from southern Africa 
    Maswanganye, Kgaogelo Amanda; Cunningham, Michael J.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Chimimba, Christian Timothy; Bloomer, Paulette (Elsevier, 2017-09)
    Understanding the role of geography and climatic cycles in determining patterns of biodiversity is important in comparative and evolutionary biology and conservation. We studied the phylogeographic pattern and historical ...
  • The phylogenetic position and diversity of the enigmatic mongrel frog Nothophryne Poynton, 1963 (Amphibia, Anura) 
    Bittencourt-Silva, Gabriela B.; Conradie, Werner; Siu-Ting, Karen; Tolley, Krystal A.; Channing, Alan; Cunningham, Michael J.; Farooq, Harith M.; Menegon, Michele; Loader, Simon P. (Elsevier, 2016-06)
    The phylogenetic relationships of the African mongrel frog genus Nothophryne are poorly understood. We provide the first molecular assessment of the phylogenetic position of, and diversity within, this monotypic genus ...
  • 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 ...
