TL;DR: The Mariepskop transect was financially supported by the NRF and 19 Helicopter Squadron at Hoedspruit provided logistical support and T.R.B. was supported by a NERC studentship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ants on a mountain: spatial, environmental and habitat associations along an altitudinal transect in a centre of endemism
TL;DR: In this paper, spatial variation in epigeal ant diversity along a north-south elevational transect over the Soutpansberg mountain in South Africa was investigated to see to what extent these patterns can be related to spatial (regional) and environmental (local) variables and how restricted taxa are to altitudinal zones and vegetation types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-scale heterogeneity of spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in the Soutpansberg, South Africa: a comparative survey and inventory in representative habitats
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated fine-scale variation in spider assemblages, comparing five representative vegetation types in the western Soutpansberg, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in landuse alter ant diversity, assemblage composition and dominant functional groups in African savannas
Evans V. Mauda,Evans V. Mauda,Grant S. Joseph,Grant S. Joseph,Colleen L. Seymour,Thinandavha C. Munyai,Stefan H. Foord +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of landuse, season, and multiple soil and vegetation habitat variables on ant species diversity, assemblages and functional diversity in the African savannas.
Journal ArticleDOI
South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) : review of current knowledge, constraints and future needs for documenting spider diversity (Arachnida: Araneae)
Anna S. Dippenaar-Schoeman,Charles R. Haddad,Stefan H. Foord,Robin Lyle,L. N. Lotz,P. Marais +5 more
TL;DR: The South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) was initiated in 1997 as discussed by the authors to document and describe the arachnid fauna of South Africa, to consolidate all the available data on South African arachns into one relational database and to make this biodiversity information available to science; and to address issues concerning their conservation and sustainable use.
