Post-Apartheid Legislative Recognition of Traditional Leaders in South Africa: Weak Legal Pluralism in the Guise of Deep Legal Pluralism An analysis and critique of the legislative... by Mutloane, Mphati Ntebaleng

“…The advent of the 1996 Constitution and its emphasis on freedom, dignity, equality and accountability has opened up avenues for democratic political participation, which is changing the nature of customary law through a bottom-up process involving community members in the evolution of customary law. This process of evolution draws on various sources of law, including aspects of official customary law, community norms and procedures as well as the Constitution, particularly rights discourse. …”

Behavioural, microhabitat, and phylogenetic dimensions of intrasexual contest competition in combatant monkey beetles (Scarabaeidae: Hopliini) by Rink, Ariella N

“…The importance of sexual selection as a driver of evolution, from microevolution to speciation, has overwhelmingly been studied in the context of female choice, but there is evidence that male-male competition can also drive evolution. …”

Variation of echolocation pulse source levels and detection distances for bat assemblages across an environmental gradient: “a test of the acoustic adaptation hypothesis” by Wechuli, David Basara

“…Hence, echolocation pulses within or between species may vary from one habitat to the next due to variable selection pressure, resulting in local adaptation as formalised in the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis, which proposes that acoustic properties of the environment influence sound propagation and ultimately the evolution of echolocation pulses. To test the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis, I used multiple microphone arrays to measure the source levels of echolocation pulses of fourteen bat species in several bat assemblages across seven sites in different biomes in South Africa. …”
