  5. Neglected pollinator syndromes in seasonally inundated Renosterveld by Goldberg, Karen

    Published 2018
    “…An evaluation of the larval requirements of pollinators revealed that although some species show clear patterns in terms of what types of soil conditions they prefer, successful emergence of insect species is generally not limited by a shortage of suitable habitats. …”

  6. The effects of size and habitat on δ N-15 of carnivorous plants (Drosera spp.) by Mgidi, Theresa Nobuhle

    Published 2017
    “…The main purpose of the study was to evaluate Givnish's (1984) cost/benefit model used to explain the evolution of carnivory in nutrient-poor, sunny and moist habitats. δ N-15and total nitrogen values of the Drosera species were compared against each other, as well as against the non-carnivorous reference plants collected from each of the two habitats. …”

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

    Published 2023
    “…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. …”
