The recommendations ranged from no mitigation specific to invertebrates, through restriction of the proposed land use to certain portions of the land (e.g. to already transformed portions of the land), to set-asides for invertebrate conservation. keywords: a.j; a.s; abundance; africa; alien; ants; approach; areas; assemblages; assessment; available; baseline; biodiversity; biological; biology; butterflies; cape; case; change; chown; concern; conservation; data; dbi; dippenaar; distribution; doi:10.1111; dragonflies; dung; e.g.; ecology; ecosystem; eds; endemism; entomology; environmental; et al; example; fauna; fire; focus; freshwater; gaston; global; good; groups; habitat; hamer; henning; high; important; indicators; information; insect; insect conservation; invasive; inventories; invertebrate; invertebrate conservation; invertebrate monitoring; invertebrate species; journal; key; knowledge; known; koedoe; kzn; land; levels; long; lovell; m.a; m.j; management; mcgeoch; monitoring; mountain; natal; national; new; objectives; odonata; park; particular; pas; planning; plant; press; pretoria; programmes; projects; protection; pryke; range; red; relevant; research; richness; s.l; samways; savanna; schoeman; scholtz; selection; significant; simaika; sites; slotow; society; south; south africa; southern; spatial; special; species; species conservation; specific; spiders; status; surveys; systems; t.r; table; taxa; taxonomic; term; terrestrial; threatened; tmnp; town; trends; university; use; valuable; value; water; wildlife cache: koedoe-1000.htm plain text: koedoe-1000.txt item: #3 of 684 id: koedoe-1001 author: None title: koedoe-1001 date: None words: 8652 flesch: 37 summary: In addition to the adaptive processes outlined earlier (and depicted graphically in Figures 1 and 2), this paragraph provides a brief history of adaptive management in KNP as a backdrop for understanding where assessment and reflection, as described in this paper, fit in.

But tensions between people and conservation management are a worldwide global phenomenon, particularly in the Global South, where past injustices saw conservation needs trumping land and natural resource justice for local people (Hutton, Adams & Murombedzi 2005) and where widespread poverty is seen by many as putting pressure on biodiversity (Du Toit, Walker & Campbell 2004). keywords: access; africa; amaxhosa; area; article; authors; biodiversity; cape; case; claim; coast; communities; conflict; conservation; conservation tensions; cwebe; cwebe nature; development; dwesa; forests; henkel; historical; history; important; kepe; king; land; local; local people; management; marine; moll; natural; nature; nature reserve; need; ntshona; opportunities; people; recommendations; report; reserve; resources; sarhili; settlement; south; state; tensions; transkei; university; use; villiers; wild cache: koedoe-1750.htm plain text: koedoe-1750.txt item: #327 of 684 id: koedoe-1760 author: None title: koedoe-1760 date: None words: 3049 flesch: 49 summary: Amphibians, as semi-aquatic organisms that typically require waterbodies to complete their life-cycles, are vulnerable to road mortalities in these areas. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.833129 Puky, M., 2005, Amphibian road kills: A global perspective, UC Davis: Road Ecology Center, viewed 10 November 2022, from https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7j7546qv. keywords: adspersus; africa; amphibian; area; article; authors; beebee; breeding; collinson; conservation; dead; edulis; february; figure; floodplain; g.k.n; individuals; iucn; jackson; juvenile; likely; limpopo; main; makhanda; mass; mitigation; mortalities; nature; networks; nicolau; nnr; nylsvley; populations; pyxicephalus; reserve; road; roadkill; season; short; south; species; spp; study; traffic; transect; vehicle; wasserman cache: koedoe-1760.htm plain text: koedoe-1760.txt item: #328 of 684 id: koedoe-1773 author: None title: koedoe-1773 date: None words: 2187 flesch: 42 summary: https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1004268110139 Beyers, C.

Grazing lawns are a widespread natural phenomenon in grassland ecosystems (Archibald et al. 2005; McNaughton 1984; Stock et al. 2010) and play an important role in creating and maintaining spatial heterogeneity and habitat diversity (Cromsigt & Olff 2008; Novellie 1990; Pickett et al. 2003). keywords: african; archibald; areas; bnp; bontebok; burning; canopy; cape; conservation; cover; defoliation; diversity; figure; fire; fynbos; grass; grazing; high; indicator; journal; kraaij; lawns; management; mean; monitoring; national; novellie; park; percentage; plant; plots; point; press; production; red; regime; relation; renosterveld; results; south; species; spread; step; study; table; themeda; triandra; use; vegetation; veld; years; zebra cache: koedoe-977.htm plain text: koedoe-977.txt item: #674 of 684 id: koedoe-979 author: Office, Editorial title: Koedoe Volume 51, Issue 1 date: 2009-11-02 words: 352 flesch: 40 summary: In an effort to facilitate the selection of appropriate peer rievewers for Koedoe, we ask that you take a moment to update your electronic portfolio on www.koedoe.co.za for our files, allowing us better access to your areas of interest and expertise, in order to match reviewers with submitted manuscripts.

Furthermore, with the advent of more sophisticated tracking devices, such as GPS collars, the combination of geo- graphic locations and activity observations can be better used, in conjunction, to under- stand buffalo feeding ecology. keywords: activities; activity; african; area; average; budgets; buffalo; caffer; data; day; differences; distance; diurnal; drinking; dry; ecology; false; feeding; fig; funston; grazing; herds; hours; hrs; issn; journal; koedoe; kruger; lower; means; morning; national; night; nocturnal; observations; park; periods; proportion; region; sabie; season; seasonal; significant; sinclair; south; standing; studies; study; syncerus; table; time; true; water; wet cache: koedoe-98.pdf plain text: koedoe-98.txt item: #676 of 684 id: koedoe-982 author: None title: koedoe-982 date: None words: 6704 flesch: 42 summary: Van Wilgen, B.W., Forsyth, G.G., De Klerk, H., Das, S., Khuluse, S. & Schmitz, P., 2010, ‘Fire management in Mediterranean-climate shrublands: A case study from the Cape fynbos, South Africa’, Journal of Applied Ecology 47, 631–638. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2664.2010.01800.x Van Wilgen, B.W., Govender, N. & Biggs, H.C., 2007, ‘The contribution of fire research to fire management: A critical review of a long-term experiment in the Kruger National Park, South Africa’, International Journal of Wildland Fire 16, 519–530. doi:10.1071/WF06115 Van Wilgen, B.W., Govender, N., Biggs, H.C., Ntsala, D. & Funda, X.N., 2004, ‘Response of savanna fire regimes to changing fire management policies in a large African national park’, Conservation Biology 18, 1533−1540. doi:10.1111/j.1523-1739.2004.00362.x Van Wilgen, B.W., Govender, N. & MacFadyen, S., 2008, ‘An assessment of the implementation and outcomes of recent changes to the fire management of the Kruger National Park’, Koedoe 50, 22–31.
