• Functional responses of a cosmopolitan invader demonstrate intraspecific variability in consumer-resource dynamics 

  Howard, B.R.; Barrios-O'Neill, D.; Alexander, M.E.; Dick, J.T.A.; Therriault, T.W.; Robinson, T.B.; Cote, I.M. (CCBY, 2018)

  Background. Variability in the ecological impacts of invasive species across their geographical ranges may decrease the accuracy of risk assessments. Comparative functional response analysis can be used to estimate invasive ...

  Wilson, J.R.U.; Faulkner, K.T.; Rahlao, S.J.; Richardson, D.M.; Zengeya, T.A.; van Wilgen, B.W. (British Ecological Society, 2018)

  1. A major challenge for the management of biological invasions is to ensure that data and information from basic inventories and ecological research are used alongside data from the monitoring and evaluation of interventions ...

• Diversity of haemoprotozoan parasites infecting the wildlife of South Africa 

  Harris, D.J.; Halajian, A.; Santos, J.L.; Swanepoel, L.H.; Taylor, P.J.; Xavier, R. (Creative Commons Attribution License, 2018)

  Tissue samples from wildlife from South Africa were opportunistically collected and screened for haemoprotozoan parasites using nonspecific PCR primers. Samples of 127 individuals were tested, comprising over 50 different ...

• Opportunities to improve sustainability on commercial pasture-based dairy farms by assessing environmental impact 

  Galloway, C.; Conradie, B.; Prozesky, H.; Esler, K.J. (Elsevier Ltd., 2018)

  For pasture-based dairy farming to become more sustainable, the negative environmental impacts associated with milk production must be minimized. These negative impacts include eutrophication, ammonia emissions and greenhouse ...

• Understanding avian assemblage change within anthropogenic environments using citizen science data 

  Joyce, M.; Barnes, M.D.; Possingham, H.P.; van Rensburg, B.J. (Elsevier B.V., 2018)

  Anthropogenic land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss, with different land use activities having a range of impacts on native communities. These myriad impacts make it difficult to identify the key drivers of species ...
