Peter and Monica were elsewhere when the photo was taken by Geoff, so he is also missing. This holiday, as for every Honeyguide holiday, also puts something into conservation in our host country by way of a contribution to the wildlife that we enjoyed. The conservation contributions this year of £40 per person were supplemented by gift aid through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust giving a total of £630, a little over 10,250 rands, sent to the second Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP2), an intensive monitoring programme undertaken in South Africa and adjacent countries.

  • (L.) Walp Is a Member of the Vigna (Peas and Beans). It Is Commonly Called Cowpea
    1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp is a member of the Vigna (peas and beans). It is commonly called cowpea. Unguiculata is Latin for "with a small claw", which reflects the small stalks on the flower petals (Ernest, 2009). All cultivated cowpeas are found within the universally accepted V. unguiculata subspecies unguiculata classification, which is then commonly divided into four cultivar groups: Unguiculata, Biflora, Sesquipedalis, and Textilis (Padulosi et al.,1997 and Perrino et al.,1993). Some well-known common names for cultivated cowpeas include black-eye pea, southern pea, yardlong bean, catjang, and crowder pea (Timko et al., 2007). The first written reference of the word 'cowpea' appeared in 1798 in the United States (Ernest, 2009). The name was most likely acquired due to their use as a fodder crop for cows. Black-eyed pea, a common name used for the unguiculata cultivar group, describes the presence of a distinctive black spot at the hilum of the seed. Black-eyed peas were first introduced to the southern states in the United States and some early varieties had peas squashed closely together in their pods, leading to the other common names of southern pea and crowder-pea. Vigna unguiculata comes first ahead of other arable food legumes in the sub-Saharan Africa. Cowpeas can either be short and bushy (as short as 20centimetres (7.9m)) 0r act like a vine by climbing supports or trailing along the ground (to a height of 2metres (6.6ft) (Sheahan, 2012 and NRC 2006). The tap root can penetrate to the depth of 2.4 metres after eight weeks (Davis, 1991).The size and shape of the leaves varies greatly making this an important feature for classifying and distinquishing cowpea varieties (Pottorff et al., 2012) The recent annual global production of cowpea approximates to 3.3 million tons; Central and West African regions being the major areas of its cultivation (CGIAR, 2014).

  • Potential Ecosystem Services and Disservices of Arthropods Associated with Cyclopia (Honeybush) Species
    Potential ecosystem services and disservices of arthropods associated with Cyclopia (Honeybush) species By Eleonore Louise Slabbert Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture (Entomology) in the Faculty of AgriScience at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Pia Addison Co-supervisors: Dr Ruan Veldtman and Ms Rhoda R.

Eleonore Louise Slabbert March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Cyclopia species, commonly known as honeybush, are endemic to the Eastern and Western Cape of South Africa. Honeybush has historically been used as a tea, but has more recently been proven to have medicinal use properties. Honeybush biomass and extracts are used in the functional foods and cosmetics sectors both locally, and overseas. The growing demand for honeybush tea calls for further commercialization of the industry and a shift away from the predominantly (70%) wild harvested supply. The current study aimed to address the lack of baseline knowledge on insects associated with honeybush and serves to identify arthropods of importance for arthropod-mediated ecosystem services and disservices associated with honeybush cultivation.

    Biodiversity Observations http://bo.adu.org.za An electronic journal published by the Animal Demography Unit at the University of Cape Town The scope of Biodiversity Observations consists of papers describing observations about biodiversity in general, including animals, plants, algae and fungi. This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material. Further details and guidelines to authors are on this website.
