• Aspects of the ecology of three mongoose species along a rural–urban landscape gradient of KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa. 

  Streicher, Jarryd Peter. (2020)

  Many small carnivore species are of particular concern for conservation because of their elusive behaviour, diminutive size and crepuscular habits. Management and research tend to be challenging and thus is often limited. ...

• Building a conservation strategy for the harpy eagle in the Amazon Forest. 

  Pereira de Miranda, Everton Bernardo. (2020)

  Apex predators are threatened worldwide and are considered a priority in the conservation biology agenda. Their decline is associated with habitat loss and degradation, and persecution arising from perceived and actual ...

• Impacts of foraging behavior [sic] by Cape porcupines and their effects on nutrient cycling in mesic savannas. 

  Kraai, Unathi Masiobi. (2021)

  Through feeding and associated activities, herbivores play a major role in determining the structure of savannas. The Cape porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis) is a semi-fossorial, large (ca. 12 kg) herbivorous rodent ...

• Taxonomic, functional, and avian community dynamics in selected Southern Mistbelt Forests of southern KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, South Africa. 

  Gumede, Silindile Thobeka. (2020)

  Human population increase and landscape transformation result in the reduction of natural habitats, such as forests, causing changes in forest patch composition, habitat amount, patch size, isolation, shape, and edges. ...

• Effects of increased temperature on growth and nutritional value of mesic grasslands, with or without woody legume seedling competition. 

  Gili, Nikilita. (2020)

  Mesic grasslands are complex ecosystems covered in grasses and other graminoid vegetation. The species composition varies due to variation in rainfall and temperature; these grasslands are climatically supported. They ...

• Pollinator-driven divergence among populations of a self-fertilizing lily, Hesperantha coccinea (Iridaceae). 

  Cozien, Ruth Jenny. (2021)

  Two major trends in floral evolution – pollinator shifts and the evolution of autonomous selffertilisation – are generally considered alternative evolutionary responses to pollen-limitation of plant reproductive success. ...

• The curious case of the Satyrium neglectum complex: a taxonomic, ecological, and phylogenetic study. 

  Rule, Matthew James. (2021)

  Classical herbarium taxonomy uses a combination of morphological features from pressed specimens and distribution information as data in species delimitation. Whilst morphology is critical to species delimitation, ...
