• A review of freshwater crayfish introductions in Africa 

  Madzivanzira, T.C.; South, J.; Wood, L.E.; Nunes, A.L.; Weyl, O.L.F. (2021)

  This review summarizes and analyses information on freshwater crayfish introductions in Africa. A total of 136 research papers and reports were found to be relevant. Forty-eight percent reported presence; 21% described ...

• X-ray micro-tomographic data of live larvae of the beetle Cacosceles newmannii 

  Lehmann, P.; Javal, M.; Du Plessis, A.; Tshibalanganda, M.; Terblanche, J.S. (2021)

  Quantifying insect respiratory structures and their variation has remained challenging due to their microscopic size. Here we measure insect tracheal volume using X-ray micro-tomography (μCT) scanning (at 15 μm resolution) ...

• Ecophysiological models for global invaders: is Europe a big playground for the African clawed frog? 

  Ginal, P.; Mokhatla, M.; Kruger, N.; Secondi, J.; Herrel, A.; Measey, J.; Rödder, D. (2021)

  One principle threat prompting the worldwide decline of amphibians is the introduction of nonindigenous amphibians. The African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis, is now one of the widest distributed amphibians occurring on four ...

• Predation by a Brown Widow Spider, Latrodectus geometricus (Koch, 1841), on a Common Dwarf Gecko, Lygodactylus capensis (Smith, 1849), with a review of the herpetofaunal diet of Latrodectus spp. 

  van Blerk, D.; Measey, J.; Baxter-Gilbert, J. (2021)

• Does the spatial sorting of dispersal traits affect the phenotype of the non-dispersing stages of the invasive frog Xenopus laevis through coupling? 

  Kruger, N.; Measey, J.; Vimercati, G.; Herrel, A.; Secondi, J. (2021)

  In amphibians, spatial sorting progressively enhances the dispersal capacities of dispersing stages in expanding populations but may enhance or limit the performance of the earlier non-dispersing stages. Phenotypic traits ...
