  2. Micro-scale heterogeneity of spiders (Arachnida:Araneae) in the Soutpansberg, South Africa: a comparative survey and inventory in representative habitats

    Micro-scale heterogeneity of spiders (Arachnida:Araneae) in the Soutpansberg, South Africa: a comparative survey and inventory in representative habitats

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: S.H. Foord --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa M.M. Mafadza --- Department of Biological Sciences, South Africa A.S. Dippenaar-Schoeman --- Biosystematics Division, University of Pretoria, South Africa B.J. Van Rensburg --- Centre for Invasion Biology and Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa
    Coarse-scale studies that focus on species distributions and richness neglect heterogeneity that may be present at finer scales. Studies of arthropod assemblage structure at fine (1 × 1 km) scales are rare, but important, because these are the spatial levels...

  3. Influences of ecology and climate on the distribution of restricted, rupicolous reptiles in a biodiverse hotspot

    Influences of ecology and climate on the distribution of restricted, rupicolous reptiles in a biodiverse hotspot

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: MA Petford --- , , South Africa R van Huyssteen --- , , South Africa GJ Alexander --- , , South Africa
    Understanding the role of climatic and ecological factors in limiting species to their distributions is becoming ever more important in a world where anthropogenic activities are increasingly threatening species persistence. Species with restricted distributions are often poorly known even though...

  4. Call repertoire of <em>Ptychadena uzungwensis</em> (Anura: Ptychadenidae) to complement molecular and morphological identification of the species from the Soutpansberg, South Africa.

    Call repertoire of Ptychadena uzungwensis (Anura: Ptychadenidae) to complement molecular and morphological identification of the species from the Soutpansberg, South Africa.

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Treading a Delicate Tightrope: A principal balancing between education and political change during turbulent times • Authors: Ferdi De Lange --- , South Africa Edward C Netherlands --- , South Africa Louis H Du Preez --- , South Africa
    The identity of adults and tadpoles of Ptychadena uzungwensis from the Soutpansberg range in northern South Africa was confirmed using a combination of morphological characters and molecular analysis. Detailed vocalisation analysis was made and used to complement existing species identification...
