Date :……………………... iii DEDICATION „To the pillar of my strength, my best friend, my everything, my mother, Dieketseng Josephine Molefe for everything she has gone through in order to provide a better future for me and my little brother.‟ iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank God, the Almighty who has kept me till this far, who has provided me with strength to pursue life and its short comings until this stage, who has never left nor forsaken me at all times. My deepest gratitude also goes to my supervisors Prof. Oriel Thekisoe; Dr. Tom Ashafa and Dr. Ana Tsotetsi none of this work would have been accomplished if it wasn‟t for them. To my main supervisor, my father and my mentor, Prof. Oriel Thekisoe, I am grateful. He talked sense into me when I did not know where I was heading with life. With all the pressure of work he has put me through I am proud to say he has created a better being in me and I would always be grateful to him for always believing in me and giving hope even when I did not believe in myself, when I was hopeless. He has not only been a supervisor or a mentor but a father to the fatherless like me. “Thank you Prof.” I also thank my family, my mother Dieketseng Molefe, little brother Lehlohonolo Molefe and my grandmother Maria Dladla and lastly my best friend Bangisisi Nyembe. Even though they do not understand what I am doing they have always been by my side with words of encouragements and advices. To fellow students (Ms. Lerato Mabe, Ms. Khethiwe Mtshali, Dr. Petrus Leeto, Mr. Serero Modise, Mr. Moeti Taioe and Mr. Tumisang Mohlakoana) who assisted in making this project a success, they shared jokes that brought back a smile when I did not have any on my face. They became my brothers and sisters who supported and encouraged me to push until I realised my academic objectives. To all of you I say a big thank you. I thank Mrs. Jabu Sithole for administrative support and the motherly care she provided ever since I joined the department. Mr. Manyoni Mabena for technical support during field work and Mr. Emile Bredenhand who has always believed in me and pushed me to the right direction at all times. The research project was funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) and undertaken at the University of the Free State, Qwaqwa campus. I thank the ARC- Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute for allowing me to use their facilities every now and then when I needed to. Lastly, I thank Ms. Arinna Ferreira and Mr. Thulani Masango from the ARC-OVI and Dr. Nicoline Tanih from the Fort-Hare University for technical training they provided in microbiology. v RESEARCH OUTPUTS Publications 1.

It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or any other examination in any other University. ______________________ ______ day of ______________________ 20_____ ii ABSTRACT Introduced plants will lose interactions with natural enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and possibly gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions in their new environment. The use of biocontrol agents is based on the premise that introduced species are liberated from their natural enemies, although in some cases introduced species may not become invasive because they acquire novel natural enemies. In this study I consider the potential for the biocontrol of Bryophyllum delagoense, a Madagascan endemic, and hypothesize as to why this plant is invasive in Australia and not in South Africa. Of the 33 species of insects collected on B. delagoense in Madagascar, three species, Osphilia tenuipes, Eurytoma bryophylli, and Rhembastus sp. showed potential as biocontrol agents in Australia.

  • Determining the Importance of Species Traits Across Three Invasion Stages and Enemy Release of Southern African Native Plants in New Zealand
    Why are some species invasive? Determining the importance of species traits across three invasion stages and enemy release of southern African native plants in New Zealand _________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at Lincoln University by Kirsti C. Nghidinwa _________________________________________________ Lincoln University 2009 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Sc. Why are some species invasive? Determining the importance of species traits across three invasion stages and enemy release of southern African native plants in New Zealand by Kirsti C. Nghidinwa There are many factors that have been proposed to contribute to plant invasiveness in non- native ecosystems. Traits of invading species are one of them. It has been proposed that successful species at a certain invasion stage share particular traits, which could be used to predict the behaviour of potentially invasive plants at the respective stage. Three main stages of invasion are distinguished: introduction, naturalization, and invasion. I conducted a stage- and trait-based analysis of available data for the invasion of New Zealand by the flora of southern Africa. Using 3076 southern African native vascular plant species introduced into New Zealand, generalised linear mixed model analysis was conducted to assess association of several species traits with the three invasion stages. The results showed that plant traits were significantly associated with introduction but fewer traits were associated with naturalization or invasion, suggesting that introduction can be predicted better using plant traits. It has been also hypothesized that species may become invasive in non-native ecosystems because they are removed from the regulatory effects of coevolved natural enemies (Enemy Release hypothesis).

  • Flora of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, Cochise County, Arizona
    Flora of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, Cochise County, Arizona Elizabeth Makings School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ Abstract—The flora of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area (SPRNCA) consists of 618 taxa from 92 families, including a new species of Eriogonum and four new State records. The vegetation communities include Chihuahuan Desertscrub, cottonwood-willow riparian cor- ridors, mesquite terraces, sacaton grasslands, rocky outcrops, and cienegas. Species richness is enhanced by factors such as perennial surface water, unregulated flood regimes, influences from surrounding floristic provinces, and variety in habitat types. The SPRNCA represents a fragile and rare ecosystem that is threatened by increasing demands on the regional aquifer. Addressing the driving forces causing groundwater loss in the region presents significant challenges for land managers. potential value of a species-level botanical inventory may not Introduction be realized until well into the future. Understanding biodiversity has the potential to serve a unifying role by (1) linking ecology, evolution, genetics and biogeography, (2) elucidating the role of disturbance regimes Study Site and habitat heterogeneity, and (3) providing a basis for effec- tive management and restoration initiatives (Ward and Tockner San Pedro Riparian National 2001).

E-mail [email protected] Received: 17 July 2015 Returned for revision: 1 September 2015 Accepted: 23 December 2015 Published electronically: 24 March 2016 Background and Aims Obdiplostemony has long been a controversial condition as it diverges from diploste- mony found among most core eudicot orders by the more external insertion of the alternisepalous stamens. In this paper we review the definition and occurrence of obdiplostemony, and analyse how the condition has impacted on floral diversification and species evolution. Key Results Obdiplostemony represents an amalgamation of at least five different floral developmental pathways, all of them leading to the external positioning of the alternisepalous stamen whorl within a two-whorled androe- cium. In secondary obdiplostemony the antesepalous stamens arise before the alternisepalous stamens. The position of alternisepalous stamens at maturity is more external due to subtle shifts of stamens linked to a weakening of the alternisepalous sector including stamen and petal (type I), alternisepalous stamens arising de facto externally of antesepalous stamens (type II) or alternisepalous stamens shifting outside due to the sterilization of antesepalous sta- mens (type III: Sapotaceae).
