  • Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance. Mr. Thom McShane should also be thanked in a special way for sharing me some information, and sending me some documents about Vwaza which have contributed a lot to the success of this work. I extend my sincere thanks to the Vwaza Research Unit team for their assistance, especially during the field work.

  • Bee Forage Use), Services (Pollination Services) and Threats (Hive Theft and Vandalism
    An assessment of different beekeeping practices in South Africa based on their needs (bee forage use), services (pollination services) and threats (hive theft and vandalism) by Tlou Samuel Masehela Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Ruan Veldtman March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za General summary Two honey bee subspecies indigenous to South Africa, Apis mellifera capensis Escholtz (Cape honey bee) and Apis mellifera scutellata Lepeletier, are actively managed by beekeepers for honey production, other bee related products (e.g. bees wax) and to provide pollination services. Historic records show that managed colonies of both subspecies to rely on a mix of exotic - (Eucalyptus species, agricultural crops, weeds and suburban plantings) and indigenous forage (genera and vegetation units). However, their extent of use and importance for honey production, pollination, colony maintenance and swarm trapping (together referred to as beekeeping practices), have not been fully explored across South Africa. Additionally, acts of hive theft and vandalism have become a key concern for the industry, threatening and potentially limiting beekeeping in some areas.

We established permanent plots to characterize plant diversity, above-ground biomass, and vegetation Flora patterns in a tropical dry forest in Kimbi-Fungom National Park, Cameroon. Our results contribute to long-term Environmental assessment monitoring, predictions, and management of dry forest ecosystems, which are often vulnerable to anthropogenic Environmental health pressures. Environmental impact assessment Dry forest Background and objectives: Considerable consensus exists regarding the importance of dry forests in species di- Bamenda highlands versity and carbon storage; however, the relationship between dry forest tree species composition, species rich- Kimbi-Fungom National Park ness, and carbon stock is not well established. Also, simple baseline data on plant diversity are scarce for many dry Carbon forest ecosystems. This study seeks to characterize floristic diversity, vegetation patterns, and tree diversity in Semi-deciduous permanent plots in a tropical dry forest in Northwestern Cameroon (Kimbi-Fungom National Park) for the first Tree composition time.

COLLEGE; Jehanabad Class- B.A. Part- III Department- Geography Faculty- Dr. Sneha Swarup Topic- Natural Vegetation of Africa (Paper- V) Introduction- Africa is sometimes nicknamed the "Mother Continent" due to its being the oldest inhabited continent on Earth. Humans and human ancestors have lived in Africa for more than 5 million years. Africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is divided in half almost equally by the Equator. Africa has eight major physical regions: the Sahara, the Sahel, the Ethiopian Highlands, the savanna, the Swahili Coast, the rain forest, the African Great Lakes, and Southern Africa. Some of these regions cover large bands of the continent, such as the Sahara and Sahel, while others are isolated areas, such as the Ethiopian Highlands and the Great Lakes. Each of these regions has unique animal and plant communities. Natural vegetation types of Africa- Map: - Vegetation Types found in Africa Mainly 09 major types of vegetation cover found here- 1 1.

The survey was conducted through monthly visit to the selected sites located in some reserves in two randomly selected local government areas of Mubi region. One each of grazing and forest reserves was purposefully selected in every selected local government area to serve as study site. Four (4) transects of 1,000m in length were selected and stationed on two separate points on each site at every study visit. The start and end of each transect were marked with flags made from white or red clothes to enhance visibility. Moving on the transects, flowering plants found at about 50m radius were visited and observed for the presence and foraging activities of honeybees within a predetermined period of 10 minutes. Plants were scored as bee foraging species when at least three (3) honeybees had visited and foraged on the flowers within the observation period.

  • THE MAFINGA MOUNTAINS, ZAMBIA: Report of a Reconnaissance Trip, March 2018
    THE MAFINGA MOUNTAINS, ZAMBIA: Report of a reconnaissance trip, March 2018 October 2018 Jonathan Timberlake, Paul Smith, Lari Merrett, Mike Merrett, William Van Niekirk, Mpande Sichamba, Gift Mwandila & Kaj Vollesen Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 24 Mafinga Mountains, Zambia: a preliminary account, page 2 of 41 SUMMARY A brief trip was made in May 2018 to the high-altitude grasslands (2000–2300 m) on the Zambian side of the Mafinga Mountains in NE Zambia. The major objective was to look at plants, although other taxonomic groups were also investigated. This report gives an outline of the area's physical features and previous work done there, especially on vegetation, as well as an account of our findings. It was done at the request of and with support from the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia under a grant from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. Over 200 plant collections were made representing over 100 species. Based on these collections, along with earlier, unconfirmed records from Fanshawe's 1973 vegetation study, a preliminary checklist of 430 taxa is given. Species of particular interest are highlighted, including four known endemic species and five near-endemics that are shared with the Nyika Plateau in Malawi. There were eight new Zambian records. Based on earlier studies a bird checklist is presented, followed by a brief discussion on mammals and herps. More detailed accounts are given on Orthoptera and some other arthropod groups. A discussion on the ecology and range of habitats is presented, with particular focus on the quartzite areas that are rather similar to those on the Chimanimani Mountains in Zimbabwe/ Mozambique.
