Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Understanding the distribution, abundance and diversity of species and the mechanisms causing these patterns has been the interest of ecologists and taxonomists for decades. The exceptionally high plant diversity in the Fynbos biome has been well studied. Whilst early arguments suggested that the high plant diversity is not reflected in the arthropod diversity and that insect species richness is low compared to other comparable areas, these observations might have been hampered by the taxonomic impediment. Despite global r

Abstract:

The biodiversity in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa faces many threats from anthropogenic sources such as the trade associated with our globalized economy. Aggressive plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora are of particular concern because of their capacity to invade and change plant communities and their frequent dissemination via global trade. The fact that South Africa has a developing economy with many socioeconomic challenges, the capacity to monitor the abundance of plants imported for pests and pathogens is largely inadequate. Consequently, low cost methods to enhance post-

Ehrharta calycina J. E. Sm. (Poaceae) is a widespread and often abundant species whose core distribution lies within the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR).

Based on observations of distinct forms co-occurring at multiple sites, the hypothesis that E. calycina comprises more than one species was tested. Morphological analysis of herbarium specimens using a multivariate approach found strong evidence for the presence of two distinct phenetic clusters among specimens from sites of sympatry, and these were termed â

Abstract:

Magister Educationis - MEd<br>In South Africa and elsewhere all correctional centres offer educational programmes today with the aim of rehabilitating offenders by giving them the opportunity to further their studies and to develop vocational skills. However, reports show that the dropout rate is very high. This study thus explores educators’ perceptions of factors that hinder effective learning in South African correctional centres. It also examines barriers and probes strategies with the aim of finding out how deficiencies may be addressed. To this end the enquiry relied on a qualitativ

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Frankia is one of two partners in the globally distributed N2-fixing actinorhizal symbiosis between this filamentous soil-dwelling actinomycete and almost 300 species of host plants from eight diverse angiosperm families. The actinorhizal symbiosis is a major contributor to nitrogen reservoirs in terrestrial ecosystems, and allows actinorhizal plants to perform the role of pioneers in newly formed and nitrogen-poor soils. Frankia are differentiated into four main host-infection groups (1: Alnus/Comptonia/Myrica-infective, 2: Rosaceae/Datisca/Coriaria-infective, 3:

Abstract:

The principal objective of this investigation, was to collect the family Cyperaceae and to study their leaf, bract and culm anatomy. The second was to examine the collection for unique structures or forms, whilst a third was to classify the Cyperaceae according to their photosynthetic structures and types. Distribution of the Cyperaceae within the broad region defined as the Eastern Cape would be influenced by rainfall pattern. It was expected that C₃ species would predominate in more mesic environments and habitats, whilst the C₄ species would be found in drier less favourable habitats. Colle

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present global biodiversity crisis is characterized mostly by loss of species due to habitat destruction but there other major threats – notably invasive alien species. The term “biodiversity hotspot” has been coined to emphasize areas for conservation prioritization – areas that have high biodiversity under threat from habitat destruction, invasive species, etc. The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) in the Western Cape (WC) Province of South Africa has the highest biodiversity of all Mediterranean-type climate regions global

Abstract:

The Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa has one of the most biodiverse floras in the world. Although ecological speciation is thought to be a primary mechanism behind diversification in the GCFR, it has recently been hypothesised that non-ecological speciation may have an influential role in driving diversification in the montane “sky islands” of the GCFR, potentially resulting in cryptic species. This work seeks to test the relative importance of ecological versus non-ecological processes in powering speciation at different elevations in the GCFR, and to assess the existence

Abstract:

Unemployment among youth within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region is one of the major factors that has contributed to migratory movements. Today many youths are leaving their home countries within the region, in search of employment opportunities in stronger economies like that of South Africa. However, the local unemployment rates hinder their chances of employment. This qualitative study explored the livelihood strategies of unemployed black female migrant youth living in Cape Town, South Africa. The study interviewed twenty unemployed black female migrant youth betwee
