Firstly, are my supervisors: Domitilla Raimondo, for assisting me to access funding, and aiding with assessing the conservation status of the study plants; Timm Hoffman, for being a very easy going person, available at any time I needed assistance, and encouraging me through his expertise to overcome difficulties; Mervyn Lotter, for expert assistance in species distribution modeling, and in manipulating GIS for all analysis needed; John and Sandie Burrows for botanical assistance including access to their home library and herbarium, as well as the extra care when I stayed on their property; and finally to Jonathan Timberlake, for his company and assistance in the field in the heat of Mozambique, attention which went beyond thesis assistance, to carry me through personal adjustments and concerns. I am also grateful to: Barbara Turpin for tirelessly assisting me with the BRAHMS program, enabling me to appreciate the value of technology in managing data; Heather Terrapon, who was very encouraging in her assistance with GIS; Alice Massingue for providing the information about localities where Raphia australis occur; and GEOTERRA IMAGE (Pty) Ltd who provided the land cover data set. I also appreciate the opportunity to work with the KwaZulu-Natal CREW team in searching for species of interest in South Africa Maputaland. Thank you Hlengiwe Mtshali for geo-referencing specimens housed at the KwaZulu-Natal herbarium. I offer sincere gratitude to Martinho Muatxiwa, manager of the Hotel Bilene in Mozambique, for providing free accommodation for six people. I am also very grateful to the IIAM, for allowing me to continue with my studies and for issuing permits for me and my supervisors to collect plant specimens. An enormous thank you to all my classmates who gave me support which has enabled me to accomplish my studies. Words cannot express the level of my gratitude to the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) for fully funding my studies and this research project, including travelling expenses. Carol Poole and her team made my life easy by dealing so efficiently with all the logistics. The funding came from a project entitled “Building capacity for ecosystem and biodiversity assessment in the Southern African region”, implemented by SANBI and funded by the Norwegian Government through the Norwegian Environment Agency. III ABSTRACT The Maputaland Centre of Endemism (MCE), an area stretching from northern-east KwaZulu- Natal in South Africa to the Limpopo River in southern Mozambique, holds more than 2,500 native plant species. Of those, over 203 are endemic or near endemic to this area. However, the current high human population density in MCE, coupled with high population growth, has increased the pressure on the natural resources of the region and threatens the natural vegetation and plant diversity. Therefore, there is a pressing need to fully understand the threats faced by the Maputaland endemic and near endemic plants and to carry out appropriate conservation actions. In this context, the main aim of the study was to document the distribution of the MCE endemic plant species, with particular emphasis on southern Mozambique. The study also aimed to document the threats to these species and to assess their global conservation status using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Categories and Criteria. This was done by gathering historical species distribution data from herbarium specimens and by assessing their current distribution in the field. In addition, a land cover data set was used to evaluate the level of habitat transformation over time. As a result, 13 endemics were assessed, 11 of these species for the first time. Of the 13 species assessed, two were assessed as Least Concern, five as Vulnerable, four Endangered, one Critically Endangered, and one possibly Extinct. MaxEnt models were used to model the potential distribution of the species assessed and to identify hotspots and priority areas for conservation. The priority areas represent sites of greatest overlap, where 50% of all modelled species overlap in their suitable potential distributions. With this approach, priority areas were identified that can be used in conservation planning, protected area expansion, or other conservation projects. This analysis showed that the highest number of the study species (>7) is concentrated within the Licuati Forest, located south of Maputo in Matutuine District, southern Mozambique. The main threat to this area is charcoal extraction and although none of the endemic species are targeted for charcoal production, the impact of the associated habitat destruction on the endemic species is expected to cause severe declines. It is recommended that studies on the dynamics of the Licuati Thicket vegetation are needed, particularly in terms of the impact of charcoal extraction on the endemics.

All constituent species appear to be strictly associated as larvae and adults to male inflorescences of palms (Monocots: Arecaceae). Two new species of this genus (Meligethinus mondlanei sp. nov. and M. hamerlae sp. nov.) were recently discovered in southern Mozambique, and are described herein. Both are associated as larvae with male inflorescences of the widespread eastern African palm Phoenix reclinata Jacq. The two new species are compared with related taxa from central Africa. Additionally, the presence of additional species of the same genus in southern Mozambique is reported, and the local associations of several Meligethinus species are discussed.

  • Kosi Forest Lodge Directions
    Updated: April 2011 Directions to Kosi Forest Lodge Recommended route from Johannesburg : (8 hours) Head to Piet Retief on the N2, pass through Pongola and proceed south towards Hluhluwe (approximately 113km from Pongola). Turn left into the town of Hluhluwe (approx. 4kms) and follow the instructions below " Recommended route from Durban ". *** Alternate Route from Johannesburg : Head to Piet Retief and Pongola on the N2 and proceed south towards Mkuze. Approximately 45km from Pongola and 10km before Mkuze turn left towards Jozini. On leaving Jozini take a left turn towards the “Coastal Forest Reserve and KwaNgwanase” (signposted), ensuring that you are proceeding over the Pongola dam wall. After 45km at a T-junction turn right towards “KwaNgwanase”. Proceed for another 47 km past Tembe Elephant Park towards the town of Manguzi (KwaNgwanase). Please note that this route often has cattle wandering across it, some of the signs have fallen down and so caution and slower driving speeds are necessary. Also particularly around the area of Tembe Elephant Park, the road has quite a few large potholes which have caused damage to some cars. Although this route may appear shorter in distance, it takes almost as much time as the Hluhluwe Recommended Route above, but without all the hazards! From Durban City: (5 hours) From Durban, proceed on the N2 North out of Durban bypassing Richards Bay, Empangeni and Mtubatuba and head towards the town of Hluhluwe. Turn off the N2 towards Hluhluwe, proceeding through the town until you reach the last traffic circle. Turn left towards Mbazwane/Sodwana Bay and proceed for 0.7 km and turn right again towards Sodwana Bay/Mbazwane.

  • Systematics and Evolution of the Rattan Genus Korthalsia Bl
    SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION OF THE RATTAN GENUS KORTHALSIA BL. (ARECACEAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DOMATIA A thesis submitted by Salwa Shahimi For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences University of Reading February 2018 i Declaration I can confirm that is my own work and the use of all material from other sources have been properly and fully acknowledged. Salwa Shahimi Reading, February 2018 ii ABSTRACT Korthalsia is a genus of palms endemic to Malesian region and known for the several species that have close associations with ants. In this study, 101 new sequences were generated to add 18 Korthalsia species from Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam to an existing but unpublished data set for calamoid palms. Three nuclear (prk, rpb2, and ITS) and three chloroplast (rps16, trnD-trnT and ndhF) markers were sampled and Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood methods of tree reconstruction used. The new phylogeny of the calamoids was largely congruent with the published studies, though the taxon sampling was more thorough. Each of the three tribes of the Calamoideae appeared to be monophyletic. The Eugeissoneae was consistently resolved as sister to Calameae and Lepidocaryeae, and better resolved, better supported topologies below the tribal level were identified. Korthalsia is monophyletic, and novel hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia were put forward. These hypotheses of species level relationships in Korthalsia served as a framework for the better understanding of the evolution of ocrea. The morphological and developmental study of ocrea in genus Korthalsia included detailed study using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy for seven samples of 28 species of Korthalsia, in order to provide understanding of ocrea morphological traits.

Sibongile Nzimande Date ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness and preparedness of the Inkandla and Mbazwana school clusters concerning the sharing of information resources. This investigation needs to be viewed bearing in mind the contexts of developing countries. These countries are poor but experience varying degrees of poverty, and there is always a shortage of funds to support quality assuring programmes, for example libraries. Access to amenities like laboratories and libraries is generally viewed as a luxury, more so by people who went through their education deprived of these facilities but who managed nevertheless to obtain high qualifications. The argument tends to be "some of us made it without libraries, therefore they are not important". Unfortunately many policymakers think like this. There have always been sectors pushing for the development of school libraries, coupled with resource based learning as this approach is regarded as likely to produce independent, lifelong learners.
