TL;DR: It is shown that, while the contribution of wild bees to crop production is significant, service delivery is restricted to a limited subset of all known bee species, suggesting that cost-effective management strategies to promote crop pollination should target a different set of species than management Strategies to promote threatened bees.
BookDOI
Fynbos: Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of a Megadiverse Region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the evolution and ecology of the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) and its role in the management of fire in fynbos in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive, cross-taxa overview of the soil biota of South Africa and discuss the literature and sampling methods used to assess soil biodiversity, available taxonomic expertise and main collections within South Africa, the availability of identification guides and online resources, and the status and distribution of described species.

Floristic and faunal Cape biochoria: do they exist?
Jonathan F. Colville,Alastair J. Potts,Peter L. Bradshaw,G.J. Measey,D. Snijman,Picker,Şerban Procheş,Rauri C. K. Bowie,John C. Manning +8 more
TL;DR: The concept of a Greater Cape Floristic Region (GFCR) has been proposed by Manning and Goldblatt as discussed by the authors, which is a more coherent biogeographical unit.
