• 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, ...

• A contribution to knowledge of the genus Hypoxis L. (Hypoxidaceae) in Natal, South Africa. 

  Wood, Susan Elizabeth. (1976)

• Ant communities along an elevational transect, the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania. 

  Kunene, Caroline. (2020)

  Understanding biodiversity patterns and the processes that structure them along environmental gradients has been a topic of major ecological interest. Although relatively well-known, alpha diversity is still poorly understood. ...

• Varying soil nutrition in grassland and savanna ecosystems affect plant-microbe symbiosis, nitrogen nutrition and growth of Pisum sativum L. 

  Zungu, Ntuthuko Sifiso. (2019)

  Abstract available in pdf.

• Effect of elevated temperatures on growth and defence of Vachellia 1 sieberiana seedlings grown with or without grass. 

  Ncisana, Lusanda. (2020)

  Warming is suggested to increase globally in the next few decades. Warming, soil nutrients, 2 water, CO2 and sunlight are the most important environmental factors for plant life. Elevated 3 temperatures can highly impact ...

• Local and global controllers of grassland ecosystem stability during global change. 

  Demmer, Stuart. (2019)

  Human impacts on grasslands dramatically affect grassland biodiversity which impacts the ability of ecosystems to sustainably provide ecosystem services. As the extents of these anthropogenic impacts increase (due to ...

• Selective impacts on the vigour and mortality of Aristida junciformis (subsp. junciformis) 

  Scharlach, Anke. (2019)

  The aim of grazing management is to maximise livestock production by maintaining high sward quality. Many southern African grasslands have become degraded allowing grass species unfavourable for livestock production, such ...

• Fleshy-fruited invasive plant species in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: native avian seed dispersal and impact assessment. 

  Bitani, Nasiphi. (2019)

  Globally, alien plant species have been recognised as a major threat to biodiversity. The increased global trade and travel have resulted in the increased introduction of new species. Direct or indirect introductions of ...

• Assessment of the current ecological integrity of the uMngeni River, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, using fish community structures and attributes of the Labeobarbus natalensis (Castelnau, 1861) populations. 

  Dlamini, Pumla Vanessa. (2019)

  Rivers are the main source of freshwater water for human communities and provide people with numerous ecosystem services such as water purification, transportation, power generation, food supply, and water for domestic, ...
