(John Dawson), 1932- Diekmann, Rolf C. UCTD Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 1980. The study investigates certain ecological and behavioral adaptations of the Gemsbok in the Hester Malan Nature Reserve. Gemsbok breeding system was found to be a seasonal with a high reproductive potential, being able to produce a calf every nine months. The social organization was characterized by a territorial system with the size of the territories among the largest found in ungulates. Seasonal variations in sizes of mixed herds are related to the availability and nutritional value of food plants, factors which also influenced their feeding pattern. Opportunistic feeders as a result of their restricted existence. Variations in activity patterns are discussed in relation to endogenous and exogenous factors. The management implications of all these factors are examined. tm2015 Zoology and Entomology MSc Unrestricted 2015-06-18T12:22:48Z 2015-06-18T12:22:48Z 1980 1980 Dissertation Diekmann, RC 1980, The ecology and breeding biology of the Gemsbok (Oryx Gazella Gazella) (Linnaeus, 1785) in the Hester Malan Nature Reserve, MSc Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/45591> M15/4/24 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/45591 en © 2015 University of Pretoria.
