Russo, Isa-Rita M. (Issie Magrieta); Chimimba, Christian Timothy; Bloomer, Paulette (BioMed Central, 2010-10)BACKGROUND: Intraspecific variation within the diverse southern African murine rodents has not been extensively investigated, yet cryptic diversity is evident in several taxa studied to date. The Namaqua rock mouse, ...

Kiper, Ilkser Erdem; Bloomer, Paulette; Borsa, Philippe; Hoareau, Thierry B. (Springer, 2018-02)Rabbitfishes are reef-associated fishes that support local fisheries throughout the Indo-West Pacific region.

Dippenaar, Susan M.; Mathibela, Rosaline B.; Bloomer, Paulette (Elsevier, 2009)Over the past decade, numerous molecular phylogenetic studies uncovered cryptic diversity within the Copepoda, yet very few investigations focused on symbiotic copepods. Here we report mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase ...

Grobbelaar, J.W. (Johanna Wilhelmina); De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Bloomer, Paulette; Wingfield, Michael J.; Zhou, Xudong; Wingfield, Brenda D. (Springer, 2011-03)Ophiostoma species such as O. quercus are the most frequent causal agents of sapstain of freshly felled hardwood timber and pulpwood. Many species are regarded as economically important agents of wood degradation. The aim ...

Mynhardt, Samantha; Matthew, Esther; Le Roux, Jean Pierre; Little, Ian; Bloomer, Paulette; Theron, Cobus (Springer, 2024-01)Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling has attracted worldwide attention over the past few years as an emerging approach to characterising and monitoring biodiversity, and has become particularly important for species that are ...

Hoareau, Thierry B.; Klopper, Arrie Willem; Dos Santos, S.M.R.; Oosthuizen, Carel Jakobus; Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley, 2015-05)The utility of 15 new and 17 previously published microsatellite markers was evaluated for species identification and stock delimitation in the deep-water hake Merluccius paradoxus and the shallow-water hake Merluccius ...
-
Miller, Susan M.; Clarke, Amy B.; Bloomer, Paulette; Guthrie, Alan John; Harper, Cindy Kim (Springer, 2016-09)Wildlife is a multi-million dollar industry in South Africa ranging from intensively farmed animals on small properties to free-roaming animals in large functional ecosystems. Specific concerns surrounding the ...

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 ...
-
Miller, Susan M.; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette; Hofmeyr, Jennifer; Funston, Paul J. (Public Library of Science, 2015-12-23)Population fragmentation is threatening biodiversity worldwide. Species that once roamed vast areas are increasingly being conserved in small, isolated areas. Modern management approaches must adapt to ensure the continued ...

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 ...
-
De Jager, G.J. (Deon); Swarts, Petrus; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley, 2017-11)The identification of related and unrelated individuals from molecular marker data is often difficult, particularly when no pedigree information is available and the data set is large. High levels of relatedness or inbreeding ...

Mirimin, L.; Kerwath, S.; Macey, B.; Lamberth, S.J.; Cowley, Paul D.; Bester-Van der Merwe, A.; Bloomer, Paulette; Roodt-Wilding, R. (Elsevier, 2016-04)Silver kob (Argyrosomus inodorus) is a sciaenid fish that has been targeted for more than 150 years bycommercial and recreational fisheries in the coastal waters of Namibia and South Africa, where four mainstocks have been ...
-
Abalaka, Jacinta; Hudin, Noraine S.; Ottosson, Ulf; Bloomer, Paulette; Hansson, Bengt (Springer, 2015)Understanding the degree of genetic population differentiation is important in conservation genetics for inferring gene flow between populations and for identifying small and isolated threatened populations. We ...
