The representation of the Kalahari Thermal Low and its induced circulations over southern Africa in observations and models by Monyela, Bellinda Mashoene

“…This teleconnection is explained by the leading mode of variability, but it is controlled more by the heat dome mechanism rather than by the advection of the mid-tropospheric dry air into the convective region. …”

Long-term impacts of livestock grazing in the Succulent Karoo: A 20-year study of vegetation change under different grazing regimes in Namaqualand by Nenzhelele, Elelwani

“…Sustained, heavy grazing pressure, however, changes the vegetation structure of arid and semi-arid regions, often resulting in the local extinction of perennial, palatable species. …”

Through the keyhole: Ethnographic analysis of cyber violence in Egypt by Fouda, Radwa

“…It focuses mainly on individual-to-individual perpetration of violence, how, when and why people variably define unsolicited intervention with their data as "violence", and how, when and why, they choose other notions to define such incident(s). …”

The use of operational harmful algal bloom monitoring systems in South Africa to assess long term changes to bloom occurrence & impacts for aquaculture by Mtetandaba, Aphiwe

“…For this study, high-resolution satellite remote sensing observations from 16 years of MODIS-Aqua (1 km) and one month of Sentinel-3 OLCI (300 m), using regionally optimised blended algorithms, were used to investigate the spatial distribution and temporal variability of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) along the south coast of South Africa. …”

An exploratory study of financial access along the renewable energy sector value chain: the case of SMMEs in South Africa by Mali, Nwabisa

“…The findings highlighted that financial stability was closely tied to project scale, with larger-scale projects providing more consistent revenue streams, while SMMEs in niche sectors often faced revenue variability. Financial management practices were essential for sustaining operations, particularly in managing costs and planning for fluctuating revenues. …”

Early-stage design and development of mine waste valorisation technologies with expert input: a case study of South African sulfide-enriched coal waste by Stander, Helene-Marie

“…Analysis of the interview transcripts also showed that much of the variability could be attributed to uncertainty inherent in the decision problem as well as disagreement between experts. …”

Individual contributions to group behaviour in the cooperatively breeding southern ground-hornbill Bucorvus leadbeateri by Middleton, Kyle-Mark

“…In birds, cooperative breeding is found mainly in harsh regions with greater environmental variability, such that individuals might do better to help relatives than attempt to breed themselves. …”

Camera traps as sensor networks for space-time exploration of terrestrial mammal communities by Bussière, Elsa Marion Sylvie

“…Using kernel density functions with descriptive and multivariate statistics, this chapter showed that most mammal species responded to the ecological variability brought about by seasonality by adjusting their diel activity rhythms between winter and summer, resulting in a reduction of time exposure to a physiologically stressful environment caused by high temperatures in summer. …”

Genetic admixture of Kruger National Park black rhino (Diceros bicornis minor): conservation implications by Stanbridge, Deborah

“…The data provided by this study can be used to guide management and conservation decisions regarding maximising genetic variability across the subspecies. Furthermore, given the encouraging levels of genetic diversity observed, the Kruger black rhinoceros population would be an ideal source population for supplementation of genetically depauperate populations or creating new populations. …”
