  • In the Little Karoo, South Africa
    ASPECTS OF THE ECOLOGY OF LEOPARDS (PANTHERA PARDUS) IN THE LITTLE KAROO, SOUTH AFRICA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF RHODES UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY BY GARETH MANN FEBRUARY 2014 i ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most common large predators, free roaming outside of protected areas across most of South Africa. Leopard persistence is attributed to their tolerance of rugged terrain that is subject to less development pressure, as well as their cryptic behaviour. Nevertheless, existing leopard populations are threatened indirectly by ongoing transformation of natural habitat and directly through hunting and conflict with livestock farmers. Together these threats may further isolate leopards to fragmented areas of core natural habitat. I studied leopard habitat preferences, population density, diet and the attitudes of landowners towards leopards in the Little Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa, an area of mixed land-use that contains elements of three overlapping global biodiversity hotspots. Data were gathered between 2010 and 2012 using camera traps set up at 141 sites over an area of ~3100km2, GPS tracking collars fitted to three male leopards, scat samples (n=76), interviews with landowners (n=53) analysed in combination with geographical information system (GIS) layers. My results reveal that leopards preferred rugged, mountainous terrain of intermediate elevation, avoiding low-lying, open areas where human disturbance was generally greater. Despite relatively un-fragmented habitat within my study area, the leopard population density (0.75 leopards/100km2) was one of the lowest yet recorded in South Africa. This may reflect low prey densities in mountain refuges in addition to historical human persecution in the area.

Previously we have shown that humans had expanded their diet to include Middle Stone Age marine resources by w164 ka (Æ12 ka) at Pinnacle Point Cave 13B (PP13B) on the south coast of South Mossel Bay Africa, perhaps as a response to these harsh environmental conditions. The associated material culture Origins of modern humans documents an early use and modification of pigment, likely for symbolic behavior, as well as the production of bladelet stone tool technology, and there is now intriguing evidence for heat treatment of lithics. PP13B also includes a later sequence of MIS 5 occupations that document an adaptation that increasingly focuses on coastal resources.

  • Corrosion Map of South Africa's Macro Atmosphere
    Corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere AUTHORS: Darelle T. Janse van Rensburg1,2 The first atmospheric corrosion map of South Africa, produced by Callaghan in 1991, has become outdated, Lesley A. Cornish1 because it primarily focuses on the corrosivity of coastal environments, with little differentiation given Josias van der Merwe1 concerning South Africa’s inland locations. To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop AFFILIATIONS: a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning 1School of Chemical and Metallurgical South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, Engineering and DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Strong Materials, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations University of the Witwatersrand, and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion Johannesburg, South Africa rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of 2Orytech (Pty) Ltd, Roodepoort, South Africa mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 µm/a [95% CI: 18–23 µm/a]. The minimum inland figure was about 1.3 µm/a (recorded CORRESPONDENCE TO: at Droërivier in the Central Karoo) and the maxima were approximately 51 µm/a and 50 µm/a in the industrial Darelle Janse van Rensburg hearts of Germiston (Gauteng) and Sasolburg (Free State), respectively.

Changes in population figures can mostly be attributed to three broad demographic processes namely, fertility, mortality and migration rates. This chapter provides a concise yet meaningful overview of key demographic variables that will assist with municipal planning and budgeting, namely estimates of population size, a sex ratio analysis, the distribution of population projections within age cohorts, dependency ratios, the number of households and household size compositions as well an overview of population density per local municipal area.
