E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY Career as natural scientist Reinier is an ecologist and in particular a habitat specialist with an exceptional combination of botanical and zoological expertise which he keeps fostering, updating and improving. He is busy with a Ph.D for which he registered at the Department of Conservation Ecology at the University of Stellenbosch in 2013. Reinier’s experience includes being a lecturer in ecology and zoology at the North West University, Potchefstroom Campus (1998-2008). Reinier collaborates with a number of institutes, organizations and universities on animal and plant research.

In research Reinier specializes in conservation biology, threatened butterfly species, vegetation dynamics and ant assemblages at butterfly habitats as well as enhancing quantitative studies on butterflies of Africa. He has published extensively in the fields of taxonomy, biogeography and ecology in popular journals, peer-reviewed scientific journals and as co-author and co-editor of books (kindly see attached list of publications). Reinier presented several oral papers locally and internationally. Reinier’s passion for ecology and taxonomy originated with his hobby of collecting butterflies at the age of four, and he has sustained this passion including his discovery of a number of new butterfly species. His multidisciplinary background in botany and zoology as well as his considerable experience in the veld and wilderness facilitate informed decision making in environmental management and biodiversity conservation.

He practices as an ecological consultant and has been registered as a Professional Natural Scientist by SACNASP since 2005: Reg. No. 400244/05. His experience in consultation includes: Flora and fauna habitat surveys, especially focusing on the possible presence or not of threatened species, Riparian vegetation index surveys, Ecological condition surveys, Compilation of Ecological Management Plans, Biodiversity Action Plans and Contributions to Environmental Management Frameworks, Wetland Assessments, Management of Rare Wetland Species. Consultation projects also resulted in some habitats of threatened species being conserved.

Other historical personal detail In his school days and in particular at university as Vice-President of the Student Council NWU in 1990 Reinier made a distinct effort to contribute pro-actively to a non-racist dispensation of the then to arrive, new South Africa (1994). He participated in many sport- and cultural activities during school and university years, some to provincial level. Reinier was a teacher (biology and science) from 1994-1998 at a secondary school. He also ran a few ultra-marathons, including four Two Oceans marathons and three Comrades marathons. He is interested in African and contemporary music and art, and finished a semester course in art history. Reinier is a keen macro-photographer and contributed many photographic images to popular and scientific publications.

Some recent or current activities Current studies • Ph.D: Currently busy with a Ph.D that focuses on landscape ecology of butterfly species in South Africa based on model case studies. Thesis includes extensive habitat, vegetation and ant assemblage studies as well as quantitative methods to study butterfly populations and assemblages. A large body of data has already been gathered so that Reinier registered in 2013 for Ph.D at the Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, University of Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOOKS, CHAPTERS AND ARTICLES IN JOURNALS

R.F. Terblanche provided a considerable number of photos to the interesting facts on invertebrates (“bugs”) book. He provided all the maps and the bulk of photographs for 16 plates on pages 114 –129 of the Red Data Book of South African butterflies (2009). These plates cover 63 taxa with a male upper side, female upper side and male underside of each of the threatened taxa. Reinier contributed numerous photographic images in popular and scientific journals. Also contributed a few photographic images to the recent “butterfly atlas” (Mecenero et al., 2013).
