The importance of heuweltjie patch isolation, size, and quality for arthropods in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract A characteristic feature of Earth's drylands is the patchy nature of the vegetation, often referred to as a two‐phase mosaic landscape, comprised of a homogenous matrix containing distinctive vegetated patches. The latter are considered vital for ecosystem functioning as they provide refuge to biota from unsuitable conditions.

Macroecological patterns of functional and phylogenetic diversity vary between ground and arboreal assemblages in Neotropical savanna ants

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 8, August 2024.
Macroscale environmental gradients can have contrasting effects on organisms that occupy different vertical niches, but we have little understanding of how this might result in different macroscale diversity patterns in ground and arboreal communities.

The origin and speciation of orchids

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 2, Page 700-716, April 2024.
Summary Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their origin, spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of an up‐to‐date phylogeographic analysis. We present a new Orchidaceae phylogeny based on combined high‐throughput and Sanger sequencing data, covering all ...

Post-embryonic Development of Intramandibular Glands in Pachycondyla verenae (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) workers

open access: yesSociobiology, 2013
The current knowledge of intramandibular glands in Hymenoptera is focused on occurrence and morphology in adult insects. This is the first report regarding the post-embryonic development of intramandibular glands in a “primitive” ant, Pachycondyla ...

Age of Eucalyptus plantations differentially affects assemblages of surface‐active arthropods

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Microhabitats and environmental conditions in eucalypts vary depending on the growth phase. Response of surface‐active arthropods to eucalypt growth phases is unclear; yet, it can be an important contribution in forest management. Thus, we investigated the response of surface‐active arthropods to three eucalypt age groups.
