This study aims to investigate macroinvertebrate assemblage structure and composition across the three major waterbody types (temporary rivers, depression wetlands and semi-permanent dams) of the Eastern Cape Karoo, and to identify important environm

Temporary wetlands dominate the wet season landscape of temperate, semi-arid and arid regions, yet, other than their direct loss to development and agriculture, little information exists on how remaining wetlands have been altered by anthropogenic co

Southern Afrotemperate Forest is concentrated in the southern Cape region of South Africa and whilst it is relatively well known botanically, the fauna, specifically the aquatic invertebrate fauna, is poorly documented. The majority of remaining inta

Temporary depression wetlands are often overlooked from a conservation and research perspective, despite recent evidence suggesting that their cumulative contribution to biodiversity at the landscape level is substantial. Here, we present observation

This study investigated macroinvertebrate assemblage composition in relation to the cover of aquatic macrophytes (Schoenoplectus decipiens) for a set of 13 temporary depressional wetlands occurring within a semi-arid environment (Eastern Cape Karoo,

Whereas the anthropogenic impact on marine biodiversity is undebated, the quantification and prediction of this change are not trivial. Simple traditional measures of biodiversity (e.g. richness, diversity indices) do not capture the magnitude and di

Temporary lentic wetlands are becoming increasingly recognised for their collective role in contributing to biodiversity at the landscape scale. In southern Africa, a region with a high density of such wetlands, information characterising the fauna o

Proposed hydraulic fracturing in the semi-arid Eastern Cape Karoo region has been a topic of debate over the past few years. Here, we present observations aimed at understanding the dynamics of lower trophic levels, that is the microalgal biomass and

Metazoans contributed historically to the decline of the microbialites and continue to restrict their formation in most modern environments through grazing and burrowing pressures. Recent evidence suggests that metazoans can coexist with layered micr
