Abstract:

In September, 1986 a botanical survey was undertaken of South West Africa/Namibia (SWAIN) and adjacent arid parts of the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Primary emphasis was placed on the arid and semiarid regions with under 250 mm mean annual rainfall, in which both the summer-and winter-rainfall areas were visited. Observations were made on wild plants with known or potential value as new fruit or nut, vegetable, medicinal, or forage and fodder crops. Wild relatives of conventional crops for breeding programs were identified as well as several useful halophytes. New trees for agroforestry sy

Abstract:

This thesis evaluates the utility of lead (Pb) isotopes, in combination with strontium (Sr) isotopes, as a geochemical tracer for studying the palaeodiets and palaeo-landscape usage in southwestern South Africa. Isotopes of light elements, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and sulphur (S), are widely used as (palaeo) environmental tracers, but do not yield information on the geological substrates on which individuals have lived. Sr isotopes in bones and teeth are useful in distinguishing between areas of distinct bedrock geology, however, the efficiency of Sr is limited at near-coastal are

Two principal suites of river terraces are distinguished by their palaeo-courses, bedrock strath levels, overall geometry and clast assemblages: an older, higher lying Proto suite and a younger Meso suite. The Proto suite represents a long, post-Eocene, through the Oligocene into the Early Miocene, phase of incision, followed by a prolonged period of aggradation where

Abstract:

Global trends in commercially valuable teleost fisheries point to substantial deterioration in population size, offering limited potential for increased harvests. Consequently a shift in focus towards alternative fisheries has increased fishing effort towards targeting chondrichthyans as a possible solution to meet global demands. The life-history traits of chondrichthyans make them poor candidates for resolving economic and nutritional security as these make them particularly vulnerable to anthromorphic influences.

Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Science, 1991<br>This study documents and interprets the stratigraphy and sedimentary environments of the upper Johannesburg and Turffontein Subgroups of the Witwatersrand Supergroup on St. Helena Gold Mine. These data are used to construct a tectono-stratigraphic framework and determine the general distribution of economic mineralization. [Abbreviated abstract. Open document to view full version]

Abstract:

Limpets are keystone species on the intertidal communities because of their constant grazing, but their diversity and taxonomy are poorly assessed, particularly along the African shores. In this study specimens of the Patellidae family collected along the southwestern coast of Africa and from north Atlantic were barcoded for the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). Genetic data and literature surveys were used to generate distribution maps of the identified species, to understand the range of each species within these regions. Phylogenetic analyses based on available GenBan
