  • A decision-making framework for restoring riparian zones degraded by invasive alien plants in South Africa 
    Holmes P.M.   Richardson D.M.   Esler K.J.   Witkowski E.T.F.   Fourie S. (2005)
    Riparian habitats in many parts of South Africa are severely degraded by invasive alien plants, especially trees. These invasions reduce water yields from catchments and affect riverine functioning and biodiversity. ...
  • Effective conservation of melanistic lizard species in the Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor 
    Janse van Rensburg, Dahne A. (Stellenbosch : University Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is a biodiversity hotspot in South Africa, threatened by climate change and various other processes. The Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor (GCBC) is a conservation ...
  • Evolutionary responses of discontinuous gas exchange in insects 
    White C.R.   Blackburn T.M.   Terblanche J.S.   Marais E.   Gibernau M.   Chown S.L. (2007)
    The discontinuous gas-exchange cycles (DGCs) observed in many quiescent insects have been a cause of debate for decades, but no consensus on their evolutionary origin or adaptive significance has been achieved. Nevertheless, ...
  • Relative roles of climatic suitability and anthropogenic influence in determining the pattern of spread in a global invader 
    Roura-Pascual N.   Hui C.   Ikeda T.   Leday G.   Richardson D.M.   Carpintero S.   Espadaler X.   Gomez C.   Guenard B.   Hartley S.   Krushelnycky P.   Lester P.J.   McGeoch M.A.   Menke S.B.   Pedersen J.S.   Pitt J.P.W.   Reyes J.   Sanders N.J.   Suarez A.V.   Touyama Y.   Ward D.   Ward P.S.   Worner S.P. (2011)
    Because invasive species threaten the integrity of natural ecosystems, a major goal in ecology is to develop predictive models to determine which species may become widespread and where they may invade. Indeed, considerable ...
