On the hunt for the alternate host of Hemileia vastatrix. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 This hypothesis piece probes a 150‐year‐old question… “is there an alternate host of the fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix?” We use comprehensive geographical botanical data and automated text mining to narrow down the possibilities. Credit: Carvalho et al.

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

Invasion of an Afrotemperate forest complex by the polyphagous shot hole borer beetle
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 4, Page 354-369, April 2024.Polyphagous shot hole borer, Euwallacea fornicatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), is a serious invasive tree‐killing pest that has not been studied in natural forest systems. We determined the drivers of PSHB colonization in 1682 trees (68 species) in a native Afrotemperate forest.

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2004 Harvesting of products from plants in the wild is widespread throughout southern Africa. Particularly important products are plant parts used in traditional medicine. However, the impacts of harvesting practices are rarely quantified, with as yet insufficient generic rules across species and life forms. This limits the predictive ability to monitor and
