Influence of Elephants on the Survivorship of, and Damage to, Baobabs in the Semi‐Arid Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Baobabs are of conservation concern in protected areas in southern Africa because rates of elephant‐induced mortality, coupled with severe drought periods, may threaten to lead to local extirpation. Alternatively, baobabs may persist because of spatial refuges provided by distance from permanent water or rugged topography.

Genetic improvement and utilisation of indigenous tilapia in southern Africa: final technical report, December 1st 1998 to June 31st, 2002 [PDF]

, 2002
Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) is an indigenous tilapia species in southern Africa, until now the majority of genetic research has been carried out on Asian species of tilapia but this project aims to look at this African species.

Integrated GC–MS Profiling and Phytosynthesis of MnO2 Nanoparticles Using Moringa oleifera: Assessment of Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, and Potential In Vitro and In Silico Inhibitory Effects on α‐Amylase and α‐Glucosidase

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Manganese oxide (MnO NPs), synthesis of Moringa oleifera leaf extract nanoparticles, are spherical and crystalline with a size of 8.3 nm. They exhibit strong antioxidant activity in DPPH and ABTS assays, with IC50 values of 9.08 and 6.62 µg/mL, respectively, and demonstrate low toxicity to kidney and liver cells.

Mapping Biodiversity Through Time and Space: Patterns and Drivers of Fabaceae Collection in Mozambique

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Africa's plant diversity remains under‐documented due to limited sampling, expertise and resources, with type specimens offering a historical baseline to evaluate taxonomic effort and biodiversity knowledge. Using generalised linear modelling, we show that collection patterns in Mozambique were shaped by elevation, slope, land cover and accessibility ...

Reconciling Seismic and Thermo‐Chemical Models of Cratonic Lithosphere

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Most published global and regional shear‐wave (VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$) velocity models of cratons include a VS ${V}_{\mathrm{S}}$ increase with depth below the Moho, with a maximum at 100–150 km depth. This feature has long been debated, as it appears to require either (implausible) temperature decreases with depth, or substantial, layered ...

Using high‐resolution remote sensing to quantify nest‐site characteristics of White‐backed Vultures (Gyps africanus) in Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 170-181, January 2026.
Identifying effective approaches to measuring habitat requirements for elusive and difficult‐to‐study species is an important component of ecological research, particularly for species of conservation concern. The continued decline of critically endangered White‐backed vultures (WbVs) Gyps africanus calls for urgent intervention and an increased ...

Exploring the complexities of cooperative breeding: insights from African wild dog packs

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 16-29, January 2026.
Across 14 years of monitoring African wild dog packs in Savé Valley Conservancy, Zimbabwe, we found that younger and larger packs were significantly more likely to produce multiple litters, with second‐born pups showing higher survival. Pup survival also increased with pack size, rainfall, and alpha female age, highlighting the adaptive benefits of ...

The architecture of resilience: a genome assembly of Myrothamnus flabellifolia sheds light on desiccation tolerance and sex determination

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 1063-1084, January 2026.
Summary Myrothamnus flabellifolia is a dioecious resurrection plant endemic to southern Africa that has become an important model for understanding desiccation tolerance. Despite its ecological and medicinal significance, genomic and transcriptomic resources for the species are limited.
