- summary: The Lepidopterists’ Society of Southern Africa has been instrumental in these activities and their achievements provide an excellent example of the role of citizen scientists along with semiprofessional and professional entomologists in promoting invertebrate conservation and improving the knowledge base with regard to particular taxa. 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.

- 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. Mabunda, Pienaar and Verhoef (2003) described, before the advent of explicit adaptive management in KNP in the 1990s, a series of different management eras, each with a particular style.

- summary: • There is uncertainty, if levels of TPCs are adjusted to give for example, slower responding management systems enough chance to still react in time, whether this constitutes a breach of their objectivity. In essence, thus, ecological TPCs are determined by human values and expectations, but guided by known or presumed biophysical limits.

- summary: Although these results are preliminary, they illustrate how important the top-down drivers, dictated by the value systems (shown in Figure 1), are in herbivore management. Economic return Managers of conservation areas tend to avoid issues surrounding economics, but economic return is an integral part of herbivore management.

- summary: We used the adaptive local convex hull (a-LoCoH) method to map distribution ranges of 12 ungulate species within the Kruger National Park (KNP) based on locations recorded during aerial surveys (1980–1993). The distribution of impala mapped by Pienaar (1963) showed a tighter concentration along rivers, particularly in the northern half of the KNP, than was apparent after 1980. FIGURE 3: Distribution range of impala comparing the periods (a) 1980–1986 and (b) 1987–1993.

- summary: This structure must be effective in all areas of data management, starting with data collection and ending with the dissemination of knowledge, to facilitate timeous management decisions and associated actions. Not surprisingly, it has proven difficult to build data management and analytical systems to accommodate these data in general (Jones et al. 2006).

- summary: What is distinctive about rivers is that owing to their fugitive nature, KNP management was forced to look beyond the park borders for potential solutions (Venter et al. 2008) and to devise monitoring and management responses that were embedded in a wider socio-political landscape. Interestingly, another important co-driver of the change in KNP management was the ‘impasse’ on elephant culling, which came to a head at about the same time as the KNPRRP underwent a major reorientation (Freitag et al.

- summary: More recently, the formal implementation of the adaptive management approach by park management and scientists, involving regular monitoring and feedback loops that inform the re-evaluation of management objectives and techniques for biodiversity conservation, has further enhanced the management effectiveness for the biodiversity component of parks at various levels (Roux & Foxcroft 2011). The formal adoption of the strategic adaptive management (SAM) (Biggs & Rogers 2003) approach in SANParks in the early 2000s did not filter through to the people components of SANParks management until very recently and, as a result, there are currently few examples of formal adaptive management being practiced in this field within the organisation.

- summary: At the time, the area formed part of the western Transvaal (a province of South Africa until 1994) in an African reserve that was about to transform from an apartheid Bantustan consisting of a number of ‘Tswana homelands’ into Bophuthatswana, nominally an independent state, an enclave within White South Africa. Unlike other national parks and protected areas in South Africa that had involved forced removals, the idea for the PNP was that the Bakgatla would participate in decisions about the new national park, vacate the crater area voluntarily, contribute to its social and economic planning, and to its management thereafter.

- summary: Open Access • Abstract • Introduction • Methods • Study area • Design and procedure • Results • Discussion and conclusion • Acknowledgements • References Abstract (Back to top) An important aspect of managing African conservation areas involves understanding how large herbivores affect woody plant growth. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that stem growth of woody plants in African savannas is strongly seasonal, but the effects of large herbivores on woody plant growth remains unclear and requires further research.

- summary: Developing the climate–vegetation response model involved three main components, namely (1) defining indicators of forage availability to herbivores (nitrogen productivity, nitrogen quality, carbon-nutrient quality), (2) identifying herbivore species guilds of similar nutritional requirements with respect to these indicators [bulk feeders with tolerance to fibrous herbage (buffalo, waterbuck), bulk feeders with preference for high nitrogen quality forage (short grass preference grazers: blue wildebeest and zebra) and selective feeders where dietary items of relatively high carbon-nutrient quality represented key forage resources (selective grazers: sable antelope, roan antelope, tsessebe, eland)] and (3) developing a process model where the expected effects of plant metabolic responses to climate on key forage resources were made explicit. Herbivore species guilds of nutritional requirements As inferred from the nature of the diets of eight large savanna herbivore species, three herbivore species guilds of nutritional requirements were identified: bulk feeders with tolerance to fibrous herbage (buffalo and waterbuck), bulk feeders with preference for high nitrogen quality forage (short-grass grazers: blue wildebeest and zebra) and selective feeders for which dietary items of relatively high carbon-nutrient quality represent key forage resources (selective grazers: sable antelope, roan antelope, tsessebe and eland).

- summary: The study involved three components: • establishing correlations (patterns) between herbivore population performance trends and climate features (rainfall, temperature) • application of the climate–vegetation response model (Seydack et al. 2012), which defined the expected effects of climate on key indices of forage availability for herbivores (process) towards the interpretation of herbivore population performance patterns in space and over time • exploring the degree of consistency with which climate-controlled forage quantity and quality can explain correlations between climate and herbivore population trends. FIGURE 1: Southern hemisphere surface air temperature anomalies between 1850 and 2009. In this study we explored correlations between herbivore population performance trends and climate through pattern/process matching; that is, through establishing to what extent climate–herbivore population trend correlations (pattern) were consistent with expected climate effects on forage availability over time and space (process).

- summary: Adaptive management is an appealing approach to deal with inherent uncertainty in complex and interactive social-ecological systems (Holling 2001; Rogers 2003). In short, adaptive management is about learning-by-doing in a scientific way, adapting behaviour and overall direction as new information becomes available.

- summary: All six re-surveyed sites reflected an increase in plant species richness and this increase was most substantial in one commu- nity where the total number of plant species increased from 17 in 1996 to 34 in 2001 at one sampling site and from 26 in 1996 to 45 in 2001 at the other. Floristic parameters recorded during the baseline survey were recorded again at each of the six sample sites, viz., the presence or absence of plant species within the quadrats, the assignment of growth forms to each species record- ed (tree, shrub, dwarf-shrub, grass & forb) following Westfall et al. (1996) and an estimate of canopy cover for each species recorded, in variably sized transects, based on the average crown to gap ratio (Westfall & Panagos 1988).

- summary: The compilation of a catalogue of casual, naturalised and invasive species, hereafter referred to as alien flora, can serve as an initial step towards further detailed studies on the impact of alien plant species on the indigenous flora and fauna. According to Maroyi (2006), small-scale plantings of alien plant species in Zimbabwe started with European settlement in the 1890s and early 20th century.

- summary: This suggests that fire effects on soil hydrology may be most significant within the first 5 cm of soil and should also be investigated further by analysis using parameters such as soil bulk density and rooting density, especially to complement further penetrometer data. Whilst with the basalt EBPs (Figure 7), it was the annual plots which again had distinctly less variation in soil strength compared to the control plots.

- summary: A study of leopard range use at selected intervals along the rainfall gradient from the more arid south-western to the wetter north-eastern region of this park, combination with prey distribution and abundance studies and genetic analyses of the leopards, should more conclusively indicate the influence of this environment on leopard range use. In the most arid, south-western part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park the ranges of leopards are the largest recorded globally, but range use overlaps and core area range use sizes were not indicated by Bothma et al.

- summary: The aims of this survey were to identify invertebrate species of focal groups that occur on the isolated peaks in the alpine zone of the KwaZulu-Natal section of the DAC and to give some indication of whether:• The DAC is a centre of endemism for invertebrates, where a relatively high proportion of invertebrate species are endemic. Limitations of the study The fact that a high percentage of invertebrate species were only represented by a single specimen (Appendix 1) and that the true numbers of focal species on the plots is likely to be higher than those recorded (Table 3) indicates that more time needs to be spent sampling on the peaks in all four of the main vegetation communities of the study plots to gain a fuller picture of the invertebrate communities and the associations between the invertebrates and the plant communities.

- summary: However, managing resource use and determining (or even defining) whether or not use is sustainable is not straightforward in practice (Callicott & Mumford 1997; Chapman, De Lacey & Whitmore 2006; Hardin 1968). This first checklist of harvested species will provide (1) a basis for identifying those resources that may be threatened and that should not be harvested, or that require stricter control or alternative harvest practices, (2) a list from which to prioritise species for further study and (3) an important baseline for monitoring resource use in national parks (McGeoch et al. 2011).

- summary: Thus, grazing lawns are characterised by a positive association between grazers and grazing-tolerant grasses; intensive grazing has the effect of increasing the productivity and quality of the food resource (Cromsigt & Kuijper 2011). Under these conditions, patch-selective grazing may not result in a stable (or at least resilient) mosaic of grazing lawns, but may instead cause progressive depletion of the grazing resource.

- summary: Protected area management effectiveness assessments are therefore not performance assessments of an individual; rather, they reflect how well a conservation authority is managing its entire conservation estate at the protected area level (Carbutt & Goodman 2010). As protected area management effectiveness assessments are, by their very nature, open to abuse and one-sided, narrow points of view, it is therefore critical that strict SOPs and conditions are imposed during the undertaking of such assessments.

- summary: A monitoring project was initiated to answer questions about the dynamics of the herbaceous layer and was aimed at determining, (1) whether there exists meaningful variance in herbaceous plant species richness and diversity across different treatments in the ecologically sensitive sodic zone and (2) whether an increase in herbaceous biomass, an artefact of herbivory and fire exclusion, suppresses herbaceous plant species diversity and richness. The objectives of this study were to test, (1) whether significant variation in herbaceous plant species diversity, richness and biomass could be detected across different combined treatments of herbivory and fire and (2) whether increasing biomass, an artefact of herbivory and fire exclusion, suppresses diversity and richness of herbaceous plant species in the sodic zone of the Nkuhlu exclosures.

- summary: Species richness was significantly higher in mixed grassland (p < 0.001) and Themeda grassland (p < 0.01) than in weedy grassland and also significantly higher in mixed than in woodland grassland (p < 0.05).The ANOSIM comparisons of the grass-dwelling spider assemblages (Table 2) pointed to high levels of similarity between grassland spider assemblages (Global R = 0.0685, p = 0.0786). Seasonal abundance of tree spiders sometimes differs from grass-dwelling spiders (Dippenaar-Schoeman, Van den Berg & Van den Berg 1989), although our study found a similar general pattern in both strata.

- summary: Rainfall, soil depth and sandy soils are positively correlated with ordination Axis 1, whilst the clay and silt content, combined with increasing pH, are negatively correlated with this axis (Figure 4a). This is a result of the fact that soil water is held by adhesion to the fine-grained particles and is, in effect, not available to plants.

- summary: In addition, James (1992) recommended that a sanctuary be established in the upper Ngodwana River for the local Elands River population and in the Houtbosloop River for the Crocodile River population. These events caused the C. bifurcus and L. polylepis population structures to change considerably, particularly downstream of the source of the spills, in the vicinity of Ngodwana and the lower Elands River into the upper Crocodile River (Kleynhans et al. 1992).

- summary: Across sites, forest soils had the highest nitrogen concentration (0.44% ± 0.05% and 34.2 g.m–2 ± 3.18 g.m–2), followed by V. divaricata soils (0.29% ± 0.02% and 25.4 g.m–2 ± 1.55 g.m–2) and fynbos soils (0.18% ± 0.01% and 19.2 g.m–2 ± 0.86 g.m–2). Fynbos and forest soils seldom appeared to differ and therefore Van Daalen (1984) described any existing differences as an artefact of the vegetation.

- summary: Finally, this study highlighted the limitations of using radio telemetry to follow SGH groups in this challenging environment where farms are all privately owned and acquiring permission to access a property can be difficult. In this study, the effects of density and pressure from other groups are not expected to be an important factor because of the low density of SGH groups in the Limpopo Valley (Theron et al. 2013).

- summary: Where such tourism aids in the protection of natural areas it is termed conservation tourism (Newsome, Moore & Dowling 2013).Conservation tourism (CT) can thus be viewed as a subset of ecotourism, where the activity acts as an instrument for biological conservation. Without public spending on PAs, enforced regulations on illegal natural resource consumption, international aid for conservation and development projects and with diminished trust in investing in Madagascan tourism, the future of conservation tourism in Madagascar is again in danger (Ormsby & Manni 2006; Pawliczek & Mehta 2008).

The fact that finances are centralised also has major impacts on tourism management and planning.

- flesch: 68
- summary: If, as seems likely, baboons of the Mpumalanga escarpment have comparably long inter-birth intervals, then the current forestry manage- ment practise of extirpation may reduce the long-term viability of baboon populations in protected areas. Due to the troop’s long inter-birth intervals it is likely that the current forestry practice of extirpation may have a negative influence on baboon population viability in these areas.

Because areas with the highest density of adult lions (Table 1) have the most distorted adult sex ratios, it would appear that adult sex ratio is density dependent and probably the result of intra-specific competition.

- summary: Die kwaai daling in hul getalle gedurende 1971 is tydens een van die laasgenoemde uitbreke aangeteken, aangesien daar tydens die proses van terugplasing van die diere in die Park heelwat verliese voorgekom het. Daar was beide 'n bewarings- en 'n bestuursmotief agter die plasing van die bufTeis in die BNP.

- summary: Five years of mortality data of impala Aepyceros melampus, blue wildebeest Con- nochaetes taurinus, buffalo Syncerus caffer and kudu Tragelaphus strepsiceros have been used to describe the minimum mortality profiles of the respective species in an open savanna system with the full compliment of predators. The availability of mortality data, expressed as a financial benefit or loss relative to tourism benefits, is an important factor in determin- ing the sustainability of undertakings.

- summary: As such, it is hoped that the findings of the present study would provide the necessary baseline data on fish consumption in the region so that the ecological impact on local fish populations can be assessed once future studies on fish populations and reproductive rates in the area have been completed. No statistically significant gender differences were found in relation to the types or numbers of fish species caught.

- summary: Conservation implications: This research provides insight into the population level responses of native headwater stream fishes to unpredictable natural disturbance. The vulnerability of stream fishes to flood disturbance is not always clearly evident from overall abundance trends, but in some cases certain life history stages of particular species may be more vulnerable to disturbance than others (Gasith & Resh 1999; Letcher & Terrick 1998; Lytle & Poff 2004).

The government is fully aware of the significance of wildlife conservation and utilization and the necessity to integrate it into overall landuse planning.

It is pleasant to have an opportunity to deal with the subject of interpretation in nature conservation at a time when so many diversified and often ingenious efforts over the years are becoming formalized into systems with specially trained personnel supplied with specific and reasonabl e budgets to enable them to really get on with the job.

- summary: Homogenisation of gallery forest canopy structure in the remaining natural patches may therefore also be a major contributor to C. x. occidentalis settling less often in such environments, as heterogeneity in the tree canopy cover is often critical for maintaining butterfly species in an area (Francesconi et al. 2013; Koh & Sodhi 2004). In a sense, settling functions as a conservation or management proxy for preference to a resource in an individual's immediate environment, as butterfly settling behaviour is strongly associated with a variety of life history strategies such as feeding, ovipositing, basking, resting and mate location (Dennis 2004, 2010; Dennis, Shreeve & Van Dyck 2003, 2006).

- summary: Contrary to the results from the present study, Hustler (1987) and Koenig (1997) in Zimbabwe and Kenya (respectively) did not find any differences in host ungulate preferences when both species occurred within the same geographic region. An understanding of the feeding behaviours and host preferences of these birds is important since they serve as agents of tick control on both domestic and wild ungulates.

- summary: It was concluded that the greatest number of alien plant species could be found along dog paths, in comparison to the hiking trails and cycling trails. A PERMANOVA analysis was conducted to analyse the difference between percentage of cover of alien plant species between trail types, distance from the trailhead, and distance into the matrix (PRIMER software version 6.1.5, Clarke & Gorley 2006).

- summary: This reflects a longitudinal pattern of differentiation involving the phylogenetic separation (see Daniels et al. 2002) of high-altitude, small-bodied species (members of the P. depressus – P. clarus complex in this system) in the upper reaches from the robust species of the middle to lower reaches (P. sidneyi) and then possible longitudinal genetic structure within the latter. P. depressus complex (Daniels et al. 2003; Phiri & Daniels 2014b), DNA sequence data have generally not been used in studies of KZN crabs and there has been no published DNA-based survey of lineage diversity within the most widespread species in the province.

- summary: Understanding elephant selection may suggest ways to minimise management trade-offs. We tested four hypotheses of elephant selection based on patterns observed in savanna systems, namely that elephants would show (1) a positive association with vegetation greenness, (2) a negative association with distance to water, (3) a negative association with steeper slopes and (4) a positive association with more rugged terrain.

- summary: We assessed 2668 trees – 1352 Sclerocarya birrea (marula), 857 Acacia nigrescens (knobthorn), and 459 Lannea schweinfurthii (false marula) – for elephant impact in the APNR, 1387 (52%) of which had previously been wrapped in protective wire netting (789, 548 and 50, respectively). Since tree mortality has been attributed to high levels of elephant impact, the use of wire netting could serve to maintain individual trees or populations particularly vulnerable to elephant impact in areas with locally high densities of elephants.

- summary: This is partly because information at large scales and over long periods was not part of our human experience until relatively recently: we observed locally, and usually for no longer than a human lifespan (and often much less). System problems emerge from interactions and context, and require a wider rather than a narrower view; a view which is often associated with larger scales in space and time.

- summary: This paper describes a basic assessment of the abundance and distribution of fish species throughout the Wilderness Lakes in 2010–2011 and uses the relative abundance and species composition data to highlight management needs for this important estuarine lakes system. Gill nets, which sampled larger individuals of marine and freshwater species, were dominated numerically by euryhaline marine species, particularly southern mullet (Liza richardsonii), which comprised between 10% (Langvlei) and 40% (Eilandvlei) of the catch, and oval moony (Monodactylus falciformis), which comprised between 3% (Eilandvlei) and 48% (Langvlei) of the catch.

- summary: The aims of the study were thus: (1) to assess the genetic structure and diversity of E. motebensis in the Groot Marico catchment across tributary locations to determine whether E. motebensis comprises one population or genetically distinct populations separated by natural barriers, (2) determine whether genetic isolation has occurred, (3) use these data to develop theories on how the ecology of E. motebensis, natural landscape and climatic processes may have influenced the genetic structuring of E. motebensis populations and (4) identify which populations of E. motebensis may require a conservation plan in the Groot Marico catchment. The current study demonstrates that E. motebensis locations in the upper Groot Marico River Catchment show relatively recent isolation of at least one location, the Draaifonteinspruit tributary, and significant genetic structuring and diversity among some of the remaining locations (Vanstraatensvlei tributary).

- summary: The results from the rank abundance curves are further supported by the SIMPER results, which found C. amita to have the greatest contribution to the separation of the control and rehabilitated sites (6.31% of total abundance; 51 individuals in total for the control sites), followed by M. peringueyi (5.67%; 209 individuals in control sites) and lastly M. fastidium (5.53%; 167 individuals across control and rehabilitated sites). Furthermore, Welch two-sample t-tests were used to test for significant differences between the number of ant species and the number of individuals found between rehabilitated and control sites.

- summary: Black rhino populations in poor habitats may attain sexual maturity and thus reproduce much later than black rhino populations in better habitats (Gaillard et al. 2000). In addition, low rainfall reduces the quality and quantity of the food supply, negatively affecting the body condition of black rhino females (Hrabar & Du Toit 2005).

- summary: It is a fact that if tourism development is not properly planned and developed it can lead to an increase in land prices and the area runs the risk of losing its unique character. Ensuring that the community is involved in, and benefits from, tourism Community involvement is an essential element of a successful strategy for sustainable tourism development.

- summary: A summary of first year recruitment (the number of rhinos born and surviving the first year of life) and poached individuals recorded for south central black rhinos and southern white rhinos in Kruger National Park between the 2013, 2014 and 2015 surveys. Southern white rhino populations occurring in the parks outside of Kruger National Park increased at a rate of 0.14 (95% CI: 0.10–0.19), partly because of introductions from Kruger.

- summary: The article considers that while one objective for generating revenue from entrance fees is for conservation management, it is difficult to establish appropriate fees where there are gaps in knowledge about existing levels of visitation, tourism revenue and associated management costs. Perhaps one of the most extensively used approaches to researching entrance fees is contingent valuation approaches with willingness-to-pay (WTP) surveys (e.g. Asafu-Adjaye & Tapsuwan 2008; Baral, Stern & Bhattarai 2008; Barnes, Schier & Van Rooy 1997; Bruner et al. 2015; Greiner & Rolfe 2004; Kahn 2009; Kibira 2014; Mmopwlwa, Kgathi & Molefhe 2007; Moran 1994; Reyisdottir, Song & Agrusa 2008; Richer & Christensen 1999;

- summary: At the Phongolo Controlled Hunting Area (PCHA), revenue competitiveness influenced operational competitiveness more than resource competitiveness because revenue generation inefficiency ratings were more than 10 times the size of resource consumption inefficiency ratings (Table 3). Revenue generation inefficiency ratings in Ntshondwe gradually increased from 2007 to 2013, suggesting that revenue competitiveness worsened (Figure 2).

(1973), using rumen content analysis of buffalo that had died in a drought, showed an overabundance of browse in buffalo diet. The specific question addressed was how important is grass in buffalo diet in thicket, taking into account other published work from the study site and region (De Graaff et al. 1973; Landman & Kerley 2001; Tshabalala et al. 2009; Watermeyer et al. 2015).

- summary: Phase 3: Extent to which Mokala National Park and South African National Parks can potentially address identified community development needs During the third phase of the study, semi-structured qualitative interviews as well as structured and unstructured questionnaires were used to gather data from purposively selected staff members from MNP and SANParks as well as other experts in relation to the extent to which parks such as MNP can potentially address the development needs that were identified by the communities. A three-phase sequential exploratory, mixed-methods approach was followed: an initial exploratory qualitative phase aimed at identifying the development needs of the two communities; a quantitative phase aimed at verifying and quantifying the identified needs; and a final qualitative phase (with a minor quantitative component) to determine what parks can reasonably achieve in terms of community development based on their available resources, capacity and expertise.

- summary: To inform management, this study investigated the relationship between vegetation productivity trends and potential drivers of change in the 110 000 ha of the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve between 2000 and 2015, using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI, MOD13Q1). This study investigated the relationship between vegetation productivity trends and drivers of change over a 15-year period (2000–2015) in a 110 000 ha mega-reserve in the southern Kalahari.

- summary: Collectively, they play an important role in promoting fish species richness in South Africa (Harrison 2003) and are important nursery areas for several species of marine fishes, many of which are exploited (James & Harrison 2008). Size class distributions of various fish species indicate that the estuary both serves a nursery function for important euryhaline marine species and supports estuarine resident taxa.

- summary: Termite diversity in KNP appears to mirror the generalised diversity pattern of termites in southern Africa, with relatively few genera in the Hodotermitidae, Kalotermitidae and Rhinotermitidae families, with the majority of termite diversity being found within the Termitidae family (Uys 2002). However, since this time, a considerable amount of termite research has been conducted in KNP, warranting an update of the checklist in order to have a comprehensive and current inventory of termite diversity in the park.

- summary: Importantly, Carruthers draws attention to several long-standing problem areas that have remained intransigent, at variance with the flow of transition in national park science. The analysis of publications in the journal KOEDOE showed that the word ‘biodiversity’ appeared only in 1999 ‘as a keyword for a contribution relating to national parks – almost 20 years after it had entered the lexicon of conservation biology’ (Carruthers 2017:209).

- summary: Avian botulism outbreaks are typically caused by type C (Wobeser 1997), mosaic C/D (Anza et al. 2014) or type E (Getchell & Bowser 2006; Rocke & Friend 1999). Variability in salinity did not differ substantially in the period of disease outbreak (2015–2017) from the prior 5 years, and from 2010 onwards never fell below 5, which Rocke and Friend (1999) describe as more conducive for avian botulism outbreaks.

- summary: With little being known about the effect of extralimital introductions and fragmentation in giraffe populations in Central South Africa, the aim of the current project was to determine the genetic structure of giraffe in Central South Africa relative to the wider southern African population, and also obtain an estimate of genetic diversity within and between individual giraffe populations. In addition to taxonomic considerations, genetic diversity within giraffe populations in the region is also a potential cause for concern (Deacon & Tutchings 2019).

- summary: While savanna trees are able to persist in fire-prone environments through re-seeding or re-sprouting, forest trees cannot tolerate fire. From the mid-20th century, increasing CO2 has had a fertilising effect on savanna trees, causing them to grow more rapidly, making them (1) less vulnerable to drought, as roots reach moist soil layers more quickly and (2) more able to escape the fire trap – that is, they can quickly reach a height that is higher than the flame zone, allowing them to recruit to larger size classes (Midgley & Bond 2015).

- summary: Permanence of water flow in Table Mountain Rivers Water yield and water temperature are known to be influenced by land-use practices (Bosch & Hewlett 1982) that affect adjacent riparian vegetation cover and fluvial connectivity, and they are also affected by water abstraction and water storage (Baxter 1977; Cooper et al. 2013; Davies & Day 1998). Factors influencing water temperature are flow rate and the presence of dams.

- summary: It is believed that some of the reasons for research projects focussing on the supersites may have been (1) the clear ecological rationale behind the site selection, (2) the logistical benefits of working at these sites (i.e. easy access to research camps and other research support services), (3) the availability of good basic metadata and descriptions of these sites and (4) other research projects also being conducted at these sites, allowing opportunities for data sharing and collaboration.

- summary: The classification of vegetation communities and the spatial alignment thereof with soil forms and their physical and chemical properties, in this study, again confirmed the close association between fine-scaled plant communities and the individual soil forms on which they occur. Abstract This study aimed to investigate how environmental factors drive the assemblage of vegetation within a landscape at various scales, particularly to which extent a sequence of soil forms (catena) influences plant community distribution in a savanna of Kruger National Park, South Africa.

- summary: Specific areas of the riparian zone proved to have the lowest overall visibility of all the catenal zones, especially for smaller-sized mammals (everything smaller than, and including, a dwarf antelope), because of tall grasses and dense shrubs. Factors that play an important role in controlling species richness on sodic areas specifically are biomass consumption, trampling or hoof action and other activities.

It is further recommended that the Game Theft Act 105 of 1991 requires substantial amendment to enable owners of wildlife areas to retain ownership of game that escapes or emigrates in response to climate change.

- summary: Spatial patterns consisting of vegetated patches that alternate with bare soil areas are characteristic in savannas (Augustine 2003; Rietkerk et al. 2000). In combination with the soil distribution pattern (as impacted by topography, geology and hydrology), micro-climate and micro-topography can influence soil water availability that governs vegetation distribution in savannas (5).

- summary: Bruton presents Marge’s contributions in relation to a broader perspective of museums and museology in South Africa, drawing attention to the long history of museums – going back to the engagement of Andrew Smith in 1825 to establish a museum in Cape Town – and their value as sources of information collected over years by numerous dedicated scholars. While still a teenager, Marge’s extremely diverse field knowledge of birds, plants and cultural artefacts drew the attention, and mentorship, of a few prominent local biologists and educators and led to her appointment, at the age of only 24 years, as curator of the fledgling East London Museum, ahead of many older and better qualified applicants for the position.

- summary: This study extends the existing literature by undertaking an empirical analysis of the sensitivity of park tourism to temperature, based on historical data. In southern Africa, on the other hand, climate change is a serious concern for park tourism (Dube & Nhamo 2020; MacFadyen et al. 2019; Sutherland et al. 2018).

- summary: A wealth of literature exists on EIA report quality in South Africa for different national and regional contexts as well as for different sectors such as mining, housing, agriculture, energy and tourism (Boshoff 2019; Kidd et al. 2018; Sandham et al. 2008a, 2008b; Sandham et al. 2013b; Sandham & Pretorius 2008; Wylie, Bhattacharjee & Rampedi 2019). It is worth noting that dealing with waste also performed poorly in EIA report quality in other sectors (see, e.g., Sandham et al. 2013a, 2013b).

- summary: Tomato growth on soil from the 30 cm − 60 cm depth of both those sites was not significantly different from growth attained on control soil and therefore is indicative of lack of a growth-inhibiting factor(s) or to the presence of factors in too low amount to cause growth reduction in the test species. Growth responses of these species were assessed upon their exposure to a tebuthiuron concentration range that simulated expected levels in MoNP soil soon and long after application.

- summary: We then identified key experiences from within the Crocodile River SAM system (related to Ecological Reserve management) over the period 2009–2019 and categorised these into observations of change according to the SAM cycle framework: single-loop, double-loop and triple-loop learning (Figure 1). Thirdly, stakeholder roles and tasks have been identified and agreed upon, which increases the efficiency and effectiveness of Ecological Reserve management (Appendix 3).

- summary: We argue that wildlife enterprises with a commercial focus, which potentially face the greatest risk of reduced economic integrity should their wild animals escape, potentially have access to mitigation options such as the provisioning of food and water resources to retain high value species. Conversely, wildlife enterprises with a conservation focus may benefit from increased connectivity of wildlife areas, which may result in species diversification that would attract more game viewers.

- summary: Then, in 2002, herbivore exclosures were erected along the Letaba and Sabie rivers after extensive floods removed most of the riparian vegetation (i.e. Letaba and Nkhuhlu exclosures) (O’Keefe & Alard 2002). Considering all these fenced areas as ‘herbivore exclosures’, even when some of them have enclosed selected herbivores for certain periods, stems from the fact that (1) elephant, an important landscape engineer in the park, was fenced out of structures, (2) herbivore densities in the exclosures were generally lower than areas outside the exclosures, (3) a few of them have been used both as enclosures and exclosures, and (4) fire has been excluded or carefully managed in many of the enclosures and exclosures.

Whilst the species was elevated out of the synonymy of L. whytii based on morphological and geographical grounds, the recovery of L. obscuriventris as sister to L. laevissimus + L. rufulus + L. whytii (Figure 2) suggests that the original sub-specific assignment of L. obscuriventris was erroneous and the current taxonomy reflects correct nomenclature.

Evidence for different river reach behaviour and their varied tempos of change can be evaluated based on river geomorphology, sediment patterns and informed by luminescence dating of phases of sediment deposition.

- summary: In Europe, a nematode ‘species at risk’ index has been developed to monitor river sediment pollution (Höss et al. 2011). The three rivers were expected to show a gradient of environmental stress as they enter the park: Olifants and Crocodile rivers experience different types of pressures (mostly related to mining practices for Olifants and to agricultural practices for Crocodile), while Sabie is quite pristine in comparison.

- summary: The SSW, which is located in the Greater Kruger National Park, is the oldest private game reserve in South Africa (Figure 1), with internationally recognised high-end luxury tourist products and infrastructure resulting in waste management challenges (Roos et al. 2021). In South Africa, research by Du Plessis, Van der Merwe and Saayman (2013) which focused on tourists’ perceptions on the environmental friendliness of South African national parks found that ‘waste management and the recycling of waste in national parks require attention’.

- summary: Alternative approaches include ‘inclusive conservation’, where local people are afforded a greater stake in managing local natural resources (e.g. Community Based Natural Resource Management), (Dressler et al. 2010), ‘conservation against poverty’, where alternative livelihood means are promoted to meet local livelihood needs, while aiming to reduce pressure on biodiversity (Salafsky 2011), and neoliberal conservation, where markets and the private sector are seen to play a role in making conservation commercially viable (Igoe & Brockington 2007). 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).

The subsequent Natural History Note Kyle mark recapture.qxd 2005/12/09 10:07 Page 121 recovery again, inside the lakes, confirms the multiple entry and exit of this species, the use- fulness of fish mark and recovery generally, and the suitability of the species for mark and recapture work.

- summary: For wildebeest and blesbok, non- lion related mortality accounted for a small fraction (< 17 %) of total mortality, and in warthogs no other source of mortality could be identified other than lion predation (Table 2). It is thus argued that lion predation was the main cause of population declines in wildebeest, blesbok and warthog, while pre- dation might have had a secondary role in hastening the decline in the kudu population.

- summary: Moreover, the savan- na ecosystems, characterised by spatial het- erogeneity introduced through the co-exis- tence of herbaceous and woody plants (Scholes & Walker 1993), increase this chal- lenge for the use of satellite data, such as Landsat TM, in assessing the dynamics of vegetation structure (Hudak & Wessman 1998). Using the vegetation structural classes of 1984 as the baseline condition, variations in vegetation structural classes between 1984 and subsequent survey years were obtained (Fig. 5).

One study suggested that grasses make up 90 % of impala diets during the rainy season, but only 33 % during the dry season (Meissner et al. 1996).

- summary: Results The importance of this exercise is to demon- strate that trophy measurement parameters can be employed to score sport-hunted tro- phies that encourage hunters to select for older post-reproductive animals. These methods allowed broomed horns to score more points in the record books than non-broomed horns.

- summary: Benefits of market segmentation include: - long-term relationships can be formed with tourists who are brand loyal (Nick- els & Wood 1997); - gauging the park’s current position, as it is perceived by the tourists, relative to the competition; - segmentation can help guide the proper allocation and use of marketing resources (Strydom et al. 2000; Semenik 2002); - new markets can be detected and the suc- cess of marketing campaigns can be mea- sured; - scarce resources are not wasted and the marketing message/communication can be very specific; - skills and insights used in segmenting the product market give the KNP an impor- tant competitive advantage by identify- ing buyer groups that will respond favourably to the park’s marketing efforts (Slabbert 2002); - long-term growth can be secured by understanding each tourist market as an individual group of tourists with their distinct cultural make-up (Reisinger & Turner 1998); Koedoe 47/1 (2004) 2 ISSN 0075-6458 saayman & slabbert.qxd 2004/04/15 09:08 Page 2 - better service and facilities can be deliv- ered (Saayman 2001). saayman & slabbert.qxd A profile of tourists visiting the Kruger National Park M.

- summary: Size class distribution The size class distribution (basal diameters) of harvested C. edulis populations was sig- nificantly different from unharvested ones (D1507,127 = 0.64; p <0.005). The extent of utilisation of harvested C. edulis populations ranged from 7–76 % of the harvestable stems (36 ± 14 %), 0–42 % of the roots (14 ± 8 %) and 2–24 % (8 ± 4 %) of roots and stems har- vested on the same tree.

- summary: Discussion (Back to top) Long-term and intensive field studies on smaller cats are still uncommon and even the common species have not been well studied (Macdonald & Loveridge, in press; Nowell & Jackson 1996). Radio telemetry has become more reliable and efficient since the 1980s (Nowell & Jackson 1996); recently, radio collars have been designed smaller, lighter and reliable enough for the use on smaller cats.

The contribution of C. mopane in the diet was negatively correlated with precipitation.

- summary: ‘Grazing lawns’ is a term coined by McNaughton (1984) to mean ‘areas created and maintained by heavy grazing with unique assemblages of grazing adapted grass species’. 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).

- date: 2005-12-18
- words: 4582

- summary: We saw that the buffalo tended to spend time feeding and standing in succession (Fig. 4), with standing and ruminating occupying around 30 % of observed activity time, both diurnally and nocturnally (Tables 1 & 2). 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.

- summary: Introduction (Back to top) The formal and informal management philosophy that has guided ecosystem management in state-owned, protected areas in South Africa has evolved through various phases over the past century (Carruthers 1995). In this paper, we start from a position that there is probably no universally ‘right’ style of ecosystem management (although it is likely that there are some that are clearly ‘wrong’ in a given situation).

- summary: There has been frequent tabling (and un-tabling) of river flow TPCs, using the IFR levels as lower thresholds to river flow. Changes to the river flow TPC system therefore occurred in 2008, and included (1) automation of TPC auditing procedures via the introduction of a simple Excel spreadsheet program, where mean daily discharge values are entered; the program indicates if or when river flow TPCs are exceeded, for tabling at the bi-monthly KNP Conservation Management Committee meeting where management actions are considered, (2) the summarising of statistics to provide information on trends in river flow and (3) the introduction of a management log to record relevant management information, for later use in feedbacks (see Table 2).

- summary: The evaluation of ecosystem management approaches (i.e. those actions that provide the opportunity for ecological processes to play out) may best be achieved by measuring temporal and spatial variation in key communities (i.e. those that are important for specific objectives of a national park). Ecosystem management is a topical systems paradigm (Bocking 1994).

- summary: However, the SANParks resource use policy provides a necessary set of guiding principles for resource use management across the national park system that allows for monitoring progress. The SANParks policy does not explicitly call for the co-management of resources; however, greater stakeholder participation in resource use management is encouraged, including the incorporation of local knowledge in monitoring and evaluation systems.
