The collection and preservation of biological material before DNA analysis is critical for inter alia biomedical research, medical diagnostics, forensics and biodiversity conservation. In this study, we evaluate an in-house formulated buffer called t

A colony of the rare hydrozoan siphonophore Lilyopsis Chun, 1885, was observed for the first time in shallow water in False Bay, South Africa, swimming amongst kelp. A study of a high-quality image of this individual found it to share some characters

International audience; Despite concern around plastic pollution in subtropical gyres, our understanding of the biological component of the neustonic layer (upper 20 cm of the ocean) in these areas is poor. Here we investigate the neuston (excluding

Publikováno v: African Journal of Marine Science. 43:87-93

Large and small specimens of two species of metagenic Scyphozoa (true jellyfishes) can be found in nearshore waters off central Namibia throughout the year. Whereas populations of Chrysaora africana are largely restricted to inshore waters, C. fulgid
