Ecologically relevant low flows for riverine benthic macroinvertebrates: characterization and application by Tharme, Rebecca Elizabeth

“…While invertebrate response to floods has received most attention, in this thesis the aim was to identify and characterize low flows that constituted various degrees of physical disturbance to benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages of perennial rivers.…”

Interactions between ecosystem engineering by burrowing sandprawns (Callichirus kraussi) and nutrients: consequences for benthic community structure and ecosystem functioning by Qwabe, Welly

“…In terms of the latter, most community metrics and benthic chl-a levels were generally negatively correlated with sandprawn abundances, but this varied seasonally and spatially. …”

The use of faunal evidence to reconstruct site history and Hoedjiespunt 1 (HDP1), Western Cape by Stynder, Deano Duane, Stynder, Deano Duane

“…Circumstantial evidence, in addition to Klein and Cruz-Uribe's (1984) criteria for distinguishing assemblages accumulated by hyaenas from those accumulated by people, points towards the brown hyaena as the most likely accumulator of this assemblage. …”

Interactive effects of temperature, nutrient level and sandprawns (Kraussillichirus kraussi) ecosystem engineering on microplankton community structure by Ogunnusi, Oluwasegun

“…Notably, increasing sandprawn abundance induced a pelagic bacterial assemblage shift, with the most discriminating taxa being Citrobacter freundii and the Enterobacterales. …”

The petrogenesis and geochemistry of the Namaqualand olivine melilitite pipe cluster, western South Africa by Kirchner, Michael

“…However, least-squares fractionation modelling appears to only provide an approximate guide to the fractionating mineral assemblages. The concentrations of most incompatible trace elements in the Namaqualand melilitites are relatively uniform, suggesting a common source and petrogenesis. …”

Belowground success: Collembola as indicators of restoration progress following active and passive restoration by Visagie, Marizanne

“…Results from the study further suggested that active restoration may be the most effective method for bringing these communities closer to their natural state, since active restoration was found to be the most significantly different from invaded sites in terms of Collembola community composition (Kruskal-Wallis, p< 0.005) during spring 2020 and spring 2021 (p…”
