Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Markotter, Wanda; Keith, Mark (BioMed Central, 2021-11-20)BACKGROUND : Modification and destruction of natural habitats are bringing previously unencountered animal populations into contact with humans, with bats considered important zoonotic transmission vectors. Caves ...

Kearney, T.C.; Keith, Mark; Markotter, Wanda; Pretorius, M.; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest) (Transvaal Museum, 2019-03)Mist nets, harp traps and roost searches resulted in the eight bat species being recorded in Telperion Nature Reserve, which is in a transition between the Savanna and Grassland biomes. The majority of these were species ...

Weier, Sina M.; Keith, Mark; Neef, Gotz G.; Parker, Daniel M.; Taylor, Peter J. (MDPI, 2020-05)The Okavango River Basin is a hotspot of bat diversity that requires urgent and adequate protection. To advise future conservation strategies, we investigated the relative importance of a range of potential environmental ...

Williams, Samual T.; Maree, Naudene; Taylor, Peter; Belmain, Steven R.; Keith, Mark; Swanepoel, Lourens H. (Elsevier, 2018-06)This dataset includes data derived from camera trap surveys and questionnaire surveys relating to small carnivores in agro-ecosystems in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, South Africa. The data were collected as part of the ...

Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Broders, Hugh; Seamark, Ernest; Keith, Mark (CSIRO Publishing, 2020-06)CONTEXT : For migratory animals, particularly those with long generation times, changing weather patterns may cause a mismatch between periods of expected and actual resource availability, termed phenological mismatch. The ...

Kotze, Robynne; Marshal, Jason P.; Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Winterbach, Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen; Keith, Mark (Wiley, 2021-03)Habitat loss is one of largest threats to the persistence of large carnivore populations. However, because most large carnivores are long-lived, cryptic and wide-ranging, few studies examine the demographic consequences ...

Taylor, Peter John; Strydom, Erika; Richards, Leigh; Markotter, Wanda; Toussaint, Dawn Cory; Kearney, Teresa; Cotterill, F.P.D. (Woody); Howard, Alexandra; Weier, Sina Monika; Keith, Mark; Neef, Gotz; Mamba, Mnqobi L.; Magagula, Siphesihle; Monadjem, Ara (Oxford University Press, 2022-12)Ten years ago, the genus-level and species-level taxonomy of African pipistrelloid bats was in a state of flux. In spite of advances in the past decade, gaps in collecting from species-rich regions like Angola have hampered ...

Nico (Elsevier, 2015-12)Eleven satellite tagswere deployed on 9 killerwhales at the Prince Edwards Islands in the Southern Ocean. Statespace switchingmodelswere used to generate position estimates fromArgos location data,while two behavioural modes ...

Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Markotter, Wanda; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, Ernest; Broders, Hugh; Keith, Mark (Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 2021-02-24)Migration and hibernation are survival strategies that require physiological preparation using fattening. Bats employ both strategies in times of resource shortages. However, because males and females vary seasonally in ...

Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems : an undervalued ecosystem service? Williams, Samual T.; Maree, Naudene; Taylor, Peter; Belmain, Steven R.; Keith, Mark; Swanepoel, Lourens H. (Elsevier, 2018-04)Africa is endowed with a diverse guild of small carnivores, which could benefit stakeholders by providing ecosystem services while fostering conservation tolerance for carnivores. To investigate the potential of small ...

Yiu, Sze-Wing; Karczmarski, Leszek; Parrini, Francesca; Keith, Mark (Wiley, 2019-02)Optimal resource selection is crucial for maximising fitness and survival. Animals introduced to a new area need time to explore the environment, which could result in a time lag before optimal selection occurs. Furthermore, ...

McMahon, William Charles; Coertse, Jessica; Kearney, Teresa; Keith, Mark; Swanepoel, Lourens H.; Markotter, Wanda (AOSIS, 2021-08)The reservoir host of Mokola virus (MOKV), a rabies-related lyssavirus species endemic to Africa, remains unknown. Only sporadic cases of MOKV have been reported since its first discovery in the late 1960s, which ...

Taylor, Peter J.; Neef, Gotz; Keith, Mark; Weier, Sina; Monadjem, Ara; Parker, Daniel M. (Pensoft, 2018-08-02)Using various sources, including the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), published literature, recent (2015–2017) collections, as well as bat detector and camera trap surveys with opportunistic sightings and ...

Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Van Cakenberghe, Victor; Broders, Hugh; Keith, Mark (Springer, 2020-10)Animals partition their daily activities based on a variety of internal and external factors. For insectivorous bats, the availability of prey, weather conditions, moonlight and reproductive energy demands are proposed as ...

Evers, Emma E.M.; Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Venter, Jan A.; Honiball, Terry-Lee; Keith, Mark; Mgqatsa, Nokubonga; Somers, Michael J. (CSIRO Publishing, 2022-07)CONTEXT : The spatio-temporal partitioning of large carnivores is influenced by interspecific competition and coexistence within small, enclosed reserves. Lions (Panthera leo), spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta) and leopards ...
