The functional ecology of Eastern Rûens Shale Renosterveld by Cowan, Oliver

“…Assessing network dynamics across a degradation gradient showed the impact of above-ground vegetation structure on network properties with the more open and diverse vegetation structure and floral resources provided by the highly degraded site resulting in network indices more similar to that of the pristine site when compared to the relatively structurally uniform moderately degraded site. …”

Taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeography of cisticolas (Cisticola spp.) by Davies, Owen R

“…Most of the mean divergence date estimates correlated with periods of climate variability and episodes during which there is evidence for high lake levels in Africa, rather than correlating with Plio-Pleistocene glaciation, offering evidence that open habitats may have become fragmented during extremes of both arid and humid climates.…”

Understanding urban ecologies in the context of local biodiversity and open space conservation agendas in two South African cities by Bux, Quraisha

“…The aim of this research was to explore the local biodiversity and open space conservation strategies in these two cities, with a view to understanding: (1) the informants, and emerging form, of urban conservation strategies in these two cities in light of their variable biophysical templates and histories; and (2) the physical landscape pattern in each city, and from this information, infer likely ecological outcomes, for these two cities. …”

Not all models are created equal: assessing parameterisations of iron dynamics in ocean biogeochemical models by Rogerson, Jonathan J

“…As iron is such a vital nutrient for biogeochemical processes it is often included as a variable in ocean biogeochemical models. In representing the iron cycle, biogeochemical models must parameterise the major processes of uptake by phytoplankton, remineralisation and scavenging. …”
