    Mainstreaming biodiversity : conservation for the twenty-first century 

    Redford, Kent H.; Huntley, Brian J.; Roe, Dilys; Hammond, Tom; Zimsky, Mark; Lovejoy, Thomas E.; Da Fonseca, Gustavo A. B.; Rodriguez, Carlos M.; Cowling, Richard M. (Frontiers Media, 2015-12-08)
    Insufficient focused attention has been paid by the conservation community to conservation of biodiversity outside of protected areas. Biodiversity mainstreaming addresses this gap in global conservation practice by ...

    Updated list of Collembola species currently recorded from South Africa 

    Janion-Scheepers, Charlene; Deharveng, Louis; Bedos, Anne; Chown, Steven L. (Pensoft, 2015-05)
    Understanding the abundance and richness of species is one of the most fundamental steps in effecting their conservation. Despite global recognition of the significance of the below-ground component of diversity for ...

    An assessment of the information content of South African alien species databases 

    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Spear, Dian; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R. U. (http://www.aosis.co.za/, 2015-05)
    National alien species databases indicate the state of a country’s biodiversity and provide useful data for research on invasion biology and the management of invasions. In South Africa there are several different published ...

    Species Richness-Environment Relationships of European Arthropods at Two Spatial Grains: Habitats and Countries 

    Entling, Martin H.; Schweiger, Oliver; Bacher, Sven; Espadaler, Xavier; Hickler, Thomas; Kumschick, Sabrina; Woodcock, Ben A.; Nentwig, Wolfgang (PLOS, 2012-09)
    We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity. We use two datasets of arthropod richness ...

    Use and usefulness of measures of marine endemicity in South Africa 

    Griffiths, Charles L.; Robinson, Tamara B. (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2015-10)
    Numerous authors have cited numbers, or proportions, of endemic species within South(ern) African marine taxa, but comparisons between these statistics are confounded by differing definitions of regional boundaries and ...

    Consistent phenological shifts in the making of a biodiversity hotspot : the Cape flora 

    Warren, Ben H.; Bakker, Freek T.; Bellstedt, Dirk U.; Bytebier, Benny; Claszen-Bockhoff, Regine; Dreyer, Leanne L.; Edwards, Dawn; Forest, Felix; Galley, Chloe; Hardy, Christopher R.; Linder, H.

Anthony; Yesson, Christopher; Hawkins, Julie A. (BioMed Central, 2011-02)
    ABSTRACT: Background: The best documented survival responses of organisms to past climate change on short (glacial-interglacial) timescales are distributional shifts. Despite ample evidence on such timescales for local ...

    Hemispheric asymmetries in biodiversity : a serious matter of ecology 

    Chown, Steven L.; Sinclair, Brent J.; Leinaas, Hans P.; Gaston, Kevin J. (PLoS One, 2004-11)
    Penguins have been receiving a lot of bad press lately. They are considered somehow counter, spare, strange. Unlike most plant and animal groups, they do not show a peak of species richness towards the equator and a ...

    Springtail diversity in the Cape floristic region 

    Janion, Charlene; Scheepers, Charlene (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Understanding the distribution, abundance and diversity of species and the mechanisms causing these patterns has been the interest of ecologists and taxonomists for decades. The exceptionally high plant ...

    Are invasive populations characterized by a broader diet than native populations? 

    Courant, Julien; Vogt, Solveig; Marques, Raquel; Measey, John; Secondi, Jean; Rebelo, Rui; De Villiers, Andre; Ihlow, Flora; De Busschere, Charlotte; Backeljau, Thierry; Rodder, Dennis; Herrel, Anthony (PeerJ, 2017)
    Background. Invasive species are among the most significant threats to biodiversity. The diet of invasive animal populations is a crucial factor that must be considered in the context of biological invasions. A broad ...

    The global distribution and drivers of alien bird species richness 

    Dyer, Ellie E.; Cassey, Phillip; Redding, David W.; Collen, Ben; Franks, Victoria; Gaston, Kevin J.; Jones, Kate E.; Kark, Salit; Orme, C. David; Blackburn, Tim M. (Public Library of Science, 2017-01-12)
    Alien species are a major component of human-induced environmental change. Variation in the numbers of alien species found in different areas is likely to depend on a combination of anthropogenic and environmental factors, ...
