  • Bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae : Scolytinae), their phoretic mites (Acari) and associated Geosmithia species (Ascomycota : Hypocreales) from Virgilia trees in South Africa 
    Machingambia, Netsai M.; Roux, Jolanda; Dreyer, Leanne Laurette; Roets, Francois (Elsevier, 2014-05)
    Bark and ambrosia beetles are ecologically and economically important phloeophagous insects that often have complex symbiotic relationships with fungi and mites. These systems are greatly understudied in Africa. In the ...
  • Diversity and biogeographical patterns of legumes (Leguminosae) indigenous to southern Africa 
    Trytsman, Marike; Westfall, Robert H.; Breytenbach, Philippus J.J.; Calitz, Frikkie J.; Van Wyk, Abraham Erasmus (Braam) (Pensoft Publishers, 2016-10-04)
    The principal aim of this study was to establish biogeographical patterns in the legume flora of southern Africa so as to facilitate the selection of species with agricultural potential. Plant collection data from ...
  • Diversity and pasture potential of legumes indigenous to southern Africa 
    Trytsman, Marike (University of Pretoria, 2013)
    This study records all known legume (Leguminosae/Fabaceae) species indigenous to South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland to establish distribution patterns and optimum climatic and soil conditions for growth. The main purpose ...
  • DNA barcodes reveal microevolutionary signals in fire response trait in two legume genera 
    Bello, Abubakar; Daru, Barnabas H.; Stirton, Charles H.; Chimphango, Samson B.M.; Van der Bank, Michelle; Maurin, Olivier; Muasya, A. Muthama (Oxford University Press, 2015-10-27)
    Large-scale DNA barcoding provides a new technique for species identification and evaluation of relationships across various levels (populations and species) and may reveal fundamental processes in recently diverged ...
  • FSA contributions 21 : Connaraceae 
    Jordaan, Marie (National Botanical Institute, 2013)
    Connaraceae R.Br. comprise mostly woody climbers, which climb by means of the winding ends of young branches, less often shrubs or small trees, and rarely rhizomatous shrublets. In the FSA-region, members are recognized ...

(Gideon Francois), 1959-; Victor, Janine Elizabeth; Nkonki, Tandiwe (International Association for Plant Taxonomy, 2013-04)
    While many plant species are considered threatened under anthropogenic pressure, it remains uncertain how rapidly we are losing plant species diversity. To fill this gap, we propose a Global Legume Diversity Assessment ...
  • Human-mediated introductions of Australian acacias - a global experiment in biogeography 
    Richardson, D.M. (David Mark), 1958-; Carruthers, Jane; Hui, Cang; Impson, Fiona A.C.; Miller, Joseph T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Le Roux, J.J. (Johannes Jacobus); Wilson, John R.U. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09)
