(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2010)Tropical island species and ecosystems are threatened worldwide as a result of increasing human pressure. Yet some of these islands also lend themselves to restoration, as they are physically deWned units that can be given ...
-
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2010)Invasive alien organisms can impact adversely on indigenous biodiversity, while riparian invasive alien trees (IATs), through shading of the habitat, can be a key threat to stream invertebrates. We ask here whether stream ...
-
(Society for Conservation Biology, 2010)Because dragonflies are very sensitive to alien trees, we assessed their response to large-scale restoration of riparian corridors. We compared three types of disturbance regime—alien invaded, cleared of alien vegetation, ...
-
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2009)Prioritizing and assessing the condition of sites for conservation action requires robust and ergonomic methodological tools. We focus here on prioritizing freshwater sites using two promising biodiversity indices, the ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd., 2009)The Red List can be used a gauging tool by conservationists to assess which species require focused conservation attention. Mapping the relative distributions of species, and identification of centers of richness, endemism ...
-
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2009)Suitable reservoirs and monitoring methods are needed to manage scarce water supplies in dry countries. We assessed here the impact on aquatic macroinvertebrates of the only dam on the Eerste River, which runs through the ...
-
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., 2008)Mountains present particular challenges for biodiversity conservation. Table Mountain is a signiWcant mountain in a global biodiversity hotspot, the Cape Floristic Region. It has outstanding angiosperm diversity and endemism. ...
-
(Magnolia Press, 2007)Red List assessments often require the verification of records and taxonomy in museum collections and the field. Such research during an assessment of threatened dragonflies in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) biodiversity ...

(Springer Science+Business Media B.V, 2007)We ask here which traits predispose one species to extreme rarity and possible extinction while a sympatric sibling is geographically widespread. With background knowledge on the level of habitat specialization of the two ...
