    • Avian ecology of arid habitats in Namibia 

      Potgieter, Henriette Cornelia (North-West University, 2015)
      Examination of bird assemblages along an environmental gradient which encompasses both climate and habitat change is needed if we are to better understand the potential effects of these changes for avians and the ecological ...

      A riparian ecosystem is the area between the aquatic and terrestrial setting of a stream, and serves as a corridor and habitat for birds. Several riparian ecosystems are located in urban environments, and three main riparian ...
    • Climate and food resources shape species richness and trophic interactions of cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera 

      Mayr, Antonia V.; Eardley, Connal D.; Peters, Marcell K.; Renner, Marion E.; Roder, Juliane (Wiley, 2020)
      Aim: Temperature, food resources and top-down regulation by antagonists are considered as major drivers of insect diversity, but their relative importance is poorly understood. Here, we used cavity-nesting communities of ...
