Pollinator-driven divergence among populations of a self-fertilizing lily, Hesperantha coccinea (Iridaceae).
(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. ...
Aspects of the urban ecology of the Spotted Thick-knee (Burhinus capensis)
(2021)
Abstract available in PDF.
Taxonomic, functional, and avian community dynamics in selected Southern Mistbelt Forests of southern KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
(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. ...
Impacts of foraging behavior [sic] by Cape porcupines and their effects on nutrient cycling in mesic savannas.
(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 ...
Parthenium hysterophorus distribution and efficacy of control in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, northern KwaZulu-Natal.

Effects of increased temperature on growth and nutritional value of mesic grasslands, with or without woody legume seedling competition.
(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 ...
Ecology of the South African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) across a land-use gradient in central KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Building a conservation strategy for the harpy eagle in the Amazon Forest.
(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 ...
Influences of bush encroachment and intensity on small mammals in a mesic savanna, Pretoria, South Africa.
(2021)

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