Insights into the Middle Pleistocene fauna of South Africa: Zooarchaeology, stable isotopes and dating of Pniel 6

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): infection with Brucella abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2017., 2017
Abstract The infection with Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis and Brucella suis has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of the infection with B. abortus, B. melitensis and B.

Spatial and temporal avoidance of risk within a large carnivore guild

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 189-199, January 2017., 2017
Utilization distributions for each pair of species for which we tested associations. In each panel, the outline denotes the boundaries of the 1,200‐km2 focal study area, and the intensity of color indicates intensity of use. Abstract Within a large carnivore guild, subordinate competitors (African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, and cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus)

Rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in cattle and lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) at the slaughter house [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Science Development, 2011
The detection and diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in food-producing animals is critical to human health. In this study we applied the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) system to detect <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> complex (MTC) directly in 57 cattle and six lechwe (<em>Kobus leche kafuensis</em>) carcasses ...

Using joint species distribution modelling to identify climatic and non‐climatic drivers of Afrotropical ungulate distributions

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
The relative importance of the different processes that determine the distribution of species and the assembly of communities is a key question in ecology. The distribution of any individual species is affected by a wide range of environmental variables as well as through interactions with other species; the resulting distributions determine the pool ...

Cytochrome c Oxidase Sequences of Zambian Wildlife Helps to Identify Species of Origin of Meat

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Accurate species identification is a crucial tool in wildlife conservation. Enforcement of antipoaching law is more achievable with robust molecular identification of poached meat. Determining the region where the animal may have been taken from would also be a useful tool in suppression of cross‐border trade of poached meat.

Evaluating key evidence and formulating regulatory alternatives regarding the UK's Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2024.
We use data from the CITES Trade Database and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to evaluate the merits of the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill that was discussed in the UK Parliament between 2022 and 2024. We find that the proposed legislation is disproportionate because trophy hunting is not a major threat to any species or subspecies ...
