Assessing the anthropogenic threats to vultures in the communal farmlands of Namibia by Craig, Christie

“…From my assessment, it appears that anthropogenic threats to vultures in communal areas are fairly low. The cultural use of vulture body parts is rare. …”

The role of real-time ultrasound in the assessment and management of preterm labour by Castle, Bruce M

“…The incidence of extreme prematurity in this group is very low and the neonatal outcome is good. The presence or absence of Fetal Breathing Movements (FBM) by defined criteria is shown to be a highly sensitive index of whether the preterm labour is going to progress to delivery or not in singleton pregnancies with intact membranes. …”

Environmental predictors of Carcharodon carcharias presence at two popular beaches in False Bay, South Africa using acoustic telemetry by Van Beuningen, Dave

“…The probability of detecting a white shark at Muizenberg beach was modelled using binomial generalised additive mixed models (GAMMs) with water temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, lunar phase, tide height, barometric pressure, year, season and time of day as predictor variables. …”

The impact of the agricultural minimum wage and the role of enforcement in South Africa by Stanwix, Benjamin

“…In South Africa the socioeconomic arguments supporting minimum wages are well established, that is, minimum wages aim to redistribute earnings to low paid workers, assist workers with weak bargaining power, and lift the working poor out of poverty. …”

Behavioural and isotope ecology of marine-foraging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa by Lewis, Matthew Charles

“…The dominant vegetation type on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, is an oligotrophic shrub land that supports low numbers of medium-sized and large terrestrial mammals. …”

Multivariate Extreme Value Theory with an application to climate data in the Western Cape Province by Bhagwandin, Lipika

“…Under the threshold excess approach, only observations that exceed the threshold in all components are able to be modelled, whereas exceedances in one and all components simultaneously can be handled by the point process approach. While the probability of experiencing high levels of rainfall, wind speed and temperature individually and jointly are low, a few conclusions were drawn based on the comparison of the performance of the models. …”
