      • On the scaling patterns of species spatial distribution and association 

        Hui, Cang (2009)
        Understanding how species distribution (occupancy and spatial autocorrelation) and association (that is, multi-species co-distribution) change across scales is fundamental to unlocking the pattern formation in population ...
      • The ongoing development of a pragmatic and adaptive fire management policy in a large African savanna protected area

(PenSoft, 2011)
        The Editorial presents the focus, scope, policies, and the inaugural issue of NeoBiota, a new open access peer-reviewed journal of biological invasions. The new journal NeoBiota is a continuation of the former NEOBIOTA ...
      • An operational model for mainstreaming ecosystem services for implementation 

        Cowling, R.M.; Egoh, B.; Knight, A.T.; O’Farrell, P.J.; Reyers, B.; Rouget, M.; Roux, D.J.; Welz, A.; Wilhelm-Rechman, A. (The National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 2008-07-15)
        Research on ecosystem services has grown markedly in recent years. However, few studies are embedded in a social process designed to ensure effective management of ecosystem services. Most research has focused only on ...
      • Opogona scaphopis Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Tineidae: Hieroxestinae) causing serious damage to Gasteria and Haworthia at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, South Africa 

        Giliomee, J.H. (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2016)
      • Opportunities and challenges for mainstreaming ecosystem services in development planning: perspectives from a landscape level.
