Intergrative taxonomy and biogegraphy of ants in the genus Anoplolepis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Southern Africa by Ndaba, Abusisiwe

“…Although this genus is widely distributed in the Afrotropical region, it is understudied. This study aimed to: 1) resolve taxonomic challenges of the ant genus Anoplolepis in southern Africa, including the production of updated identification keys for the species and the description of new species; 2) resolve taxonomic challenges of the ant genus using molecular data; 3) to understand and update the geographical distribution of species within Anoplolepis; 4) verify the existing distributional records for the invasive species, A. gracilipes in South Africa and monitor the main introduction pathways; and 5) to assess the overall changes in ant assemblages of ants collected between harbours and provinces and test the effectiveness of the pitfall trapping and baiting method in sampling ants. …”

How land use influences wildlife occupancy and species richness in the City of Cape Town by Oladimeji, Akinwale

“…Sample coverage was almost complete for the three land–use types and camera traps recorded 3045 independent images across 2,434.5 trap nights, that were used to identify 12 mammal species, nine of which were wild mammal species, but only seven of which are native to the region. Cape porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis; n = 222), Water mongoose (Atilax paludinosus; n = 27) and Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis; n = 85) were the most frequently detected species across all three land–use types, with the Cape porcupine the most frequently detected across all transects. …”
