(University of Pretoria, 2009-08-11)Eucalyptus urophylla is one of the most extensively used forest tree species in plantation forestry worldwide. Commonly, E. urophylla is used in hybrid combinations with species possessing better wood properties largely ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Rhipicephalus microplus belongs to the Ixodidae, the largest family of ticks, which are of great economic importance due to their negative socio-economic impact on agriculture (BROUQUI 2011; PORTO NETOA et al. 2011; ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2006-01-28)This study concerns the phylogeography of Sandelia capensis and S. bainsii (family Anabantidae), two freshwater fish species endemic to Cape coastal rivers of South Africa. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b gene ...
-
(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, 2005-05-20)Nesospiza is a genus of buntings restricted to the Tristan da Cunha Islands in the central South Atlantic Ocean. They have undergone an adaptive radiation at the islands and currently two species are recognised based on ...
-
Molecular phylogenetic studies on Armillaria with specific reference to Southern Hemisphere species (University of Pretoria, 2005-05-19)Please read the Summary in the section 00front of this document
-
(University of Pretoria, 2006-09-09)Phylogeographic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) population structure was determined for Aethomys namaquensis and A. ineptus from southern Africa and Swaziland. It was evident from the study that A. namaquensis reflected a pattern ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2010-10-07)African rock rats of the genera Aethomys Thomas, 1915 and Micaelamys Ellerman, 1941, are endemic to East, Central and southern Africa but extend marginally into West Africa. In the past 16 subspecies have been described ...
-
(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 ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2006-11-07)The African Wild Silk moths (Gonometa spp., Lasiocampidae) are species that are presently of particular economic interest in southern Africa. Both Gonometa postica and G. rufobrunnea, two species of African Wild Silk moth ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2009)Polymorphic sequence-characterised marker assays from a recent diversity study on the Ascomycete fungus Ophiostoma quercus from Africa showed that some isolates collected from hardwoods were genetically distinct from O. ...
