Miller, Susan M.; Moeller, Carl-Heinz; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Springer, 2020-08)Hybridisation caused by anthropogenic movements of animals is a conservation concern. Black-faced impala (Aepyceros melampus petersi) are endemic to north-western Namibia and south-western Angola and are geographically ...

Sasidharan, Sooryakanth P.; Ludwig, Anette; Harper, Cindy Kim; Moodley, Yoshan; Bertschinger, Hendrik Jan; Guthrie, Alan John; Somers, Michael J. (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2011-04)In recent years, South African conservation officials have noted the appearance of sarcoid tumour-like growths in Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra) populations. In domestic horses (Equus ferus caballus), a genetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

De Jager, Deon; Glanzmann, Brigitte; Möller, Marlo; Hoal, Eileen; Van Helden, Paul; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Nature Research, 2021)Genomes retain records of demographic changes and evolutionary forces that shape species and populations. Remnant populations of African bufalo (Syncerus cafer) in South Africa, with varied histories, provide an opportunity ...

Harper, Cindy Kim (Annual Reviews, 2023)Poaching and the international trade in wildlife are escalating problems driven by poverty and greed and coordinated by increasingly sophisticated criminal networks. Biodiversity loss, caused by habitat change, is ...

Nothling, Johan Oliviette; Nothling, Johan Antowan; Myburgh, Jan G.; Harper, Cindy Kim (AOSIS Open Journals, 2020-11-06)Multiple paternity in crocodilian broods would increase effective population size and slow down the loss of genetic variation due to inbreeding and random genetic drift in real populations. Multiple paternity may also ...
