Bee food: the chemistry and nutritional value of nectar, pollen and mixtures of the two

This paper is a brief review of the chemistry of these two floral resources and the implications for bee nutrition. Nectar is primarily an energy source, but in addition to sugars contains various minor constituents that may, directly or indirectly, have nutritional significance.…

The role of estuarine type in characterizing early stage fish assemblages in warm temperate estuaries, South Africa

Assemblages of early stage fishes (larval and early juvenile stages) were investigated and compared in seven permanently open and five intermittently open estuarine systems on the warm temperate Eastern Cape coast of South Africa. Estuarine type, by virtue of mouth state and prevailing physico chemical conditions, played a defining role in the structure of these…

The effects of fences and lions on the ecology of African wild dogs reintroduced to Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa

Gus van Dyk, Rob Slotow · 1 Apr 2003

Wild dogs have been eradicated from most of South Africa. However, a large number of smaller isolated reserves offer the potential for metapopulation conservation management of this species through continued translocations among reserves. Wild dogs were released into the Pilanesberg National Park (500 km2), South Africa, in June 1999 from a combination of wild captured…
