A checklist of ground-dwelling spiders in a banana orchard in Hazyview in Mpumalanga province
Banana orchards, like other crops, are attacked by insect pests. Although spiders are among the natural enemies of these pests, we have limited data on the different types of spider species that occur in the banana orchards in South Africa. As such, in this study, we determined the occurrence of…

The recolonisation, host and habitat-use by yellow-billed oxpeckers (Buphagus africanus) in the Kruger National Park
The two oxpecker species (Buphagus spp.) in Africa’s savanna habitats have undergone drastic changes in distribution in the wake of anthropogenic landscape changes. The yellow-billed oxpecker (Buphagus africanus) was extirpated from South Africa by 1907, but since the late 1970s has naturally and…

Fire and mammal herbivory on arthropods in the protected savannas: A systematic review
Protected areas in the savannas are key global reserves for biological diversity, including arthropods. Fire and mammal herbivory disrupts the diversity of biological organisms that alternately affects the functioning of the ecosystem. The study presents a global synthesis review of arthropod…
