Records of Some Birds and Mammals in the Central Chimanimani Mountains of Mozambique and Rhodesia
Jackson, H.
1973
Manica
Mr. R. Chenaux-Repond, Dr. F. W. Huchzeimeyer, Mr. J. R. Shaw and the author spent the period 23 May to 3 June, 1972, hiking through the central Chimanimani Mountains in Mozambique and Rhodesia. We covered about 100 km, travelling from Dead Cow Camp to Gossamer Falls via the Mountain Hut, Camp Portage, the Mevumosi River and Gossamer Range; then back past the northern end of the Macuire Range, across the Saddle to the Southern Lakes and along the Lower Bundi to Banana Grove and Dead Cow Camp. The route lies within the area covered by Hodgson (1971) in his list of the birds of the Chimanimani Mountains, and it is to his description and map of the area that the reader is referred for details of topography and vegetation.

ANNALS OF THE TRANSVAAL MUSEUM
Maputo
THE following paper deals with a collection of Upper Albian Ammonoidea belonging to the Transvaal Museum and kindly sent to the writer, for description, by the Director, through Dr S.H. Haughton, Hon. Curator. There are 102 specimens, including 33 ammonites and 69 heteromorphs, all from Catuane, Portuguese East Africa. These were collected by Dr E. C. N. van Hoepen, and Dr Haughton informs me that presumably they are all from one horizon. Judging by the English type-succession of the Upper Gault, the beds from which came the South African specimens here described would correspond approximately to the varicosum-t:equatoriale zones.

Faunal remains from Chibuene, an Iron Age coastal trading station in central Mozambique
Badenhorst, S. Et al.
2011
Inhambane
We report on the small faunal assemblage from the Iron Age coastal trading station of Chibuene, situated on the coastal littoral of central Mozambique. The faunal assemblage was excavated in 1995 and contains bones from a variety of animals, including livestock, chickens, wild game animals, as well as aquatic species such as turtles and fish. Fish, turtle and shark remains dominate the assemblage. The fauna from the first and second millennium AD occupations share similarities with other contemporaneous sites to the north on the East African coast, rather than with sites located in South Africa.

How might intensification of farming influence dung beetle diversity (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Maputo Special Reserve (Mozambique)?
Jacobs, C.

Maputo
There are concerns over the increasing encroachment of humans, domestic livestock, and farming onto Maputo Special Reserve because of the potential for habitat modification. Therefore, differences between an undisturbed area of the reserve and a neighbouring farming area are assessed using dung beetle as indicators. In each of the two areas, pig-dung-baited pitfall traps were used to sample dung beetle assemblages in two contrasting habitats, grassland and forest.

2016
OSTRICH
Niassa
The montane forests of northern Mozambique’s isolated massifs are inhabited by numerous range-restricted and threatened bird species, but until recently were extremely little-known. We report on a first avifaunal survey of the isolated montane habitats of Mt Mecula (1 442 m), Niassa National Reserve, notable as the only currently protected montane area in northern Mozambique. Mount Mecula’s moist forest is small (approximately 136 ha in total) and patchy, and although known botanically to have some montane affinities, was found to support an avifauna more typical of riparian forests of medium to low altitude. The only montane forest species recorded was Lemon Dove Aplopelia larvata.

Herpetology Notes
Cabo Delgado
During a field trip in the area of Nhica do Rovuma, northern Mozambique (10°45.36’S, 40°13.06’E) on 30 November 2009 (Ineich, 2011), I observed a female Agama mossambica Peters, 1854 laying her eggs at 10:45 am. Herein I describe the nest and indicate egg size and number. The nest was dug by the female in loose and sandy soil at about 5 cm deep only (Figure 1). Rain had just begun very slowly one day before our observation, made nearly at the end of the dry season. Even though it was not heavy rain, the soil was relatively humid that day and the rainy season was about to start soon after.

Momordica mossambica sp. nov. (Cucurbitaceae) from miombo woodland in northern Mozambique
Schaefer, H.
2009
Nordic Journal of Botany
Nampula
Momordica mossambica, a new species of the Cucurbitaceae from miombo woodland in northern Mozambique is described. In spite of being known only from the type collected in 1964, a morphological and molecular survey of all known species of Momordica indicates that M. mossambica is a distinct species. The closest relatives are M. calantha and M. cabrae from Tanzania and central Africa, respectively, from which it is distinguished easily by its 7-lobed, maple-like leaves.

Annals of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History
Gaza
The herpetofauna of Mozambique remains poorly documented despite several recent surveys. This paper presents additional distribution records for a number of species from Mozambique, based on recent field excursions and older material at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History. The new records suggest that a number of taxa are more widely distributed in southern Mozambique than is currently known while the additional material suggests that the taxonomy of some species requires further research.

Nampula
Ficus modesta F. White and Ficus cyathistipula cyathistipula Warburg are recorded for the first time from Mozambique. The new records from Mount Namuli in Zambezia Province extend the known distribution of F. modesta 160 km east and that of F. cyathistipula 550 km southeast. Fig species richness for Mozambique is elevated to 35 species, which thus compares favourably with neighbouring countries. A revised checklist is provided for Mozambique and fig species richness of central and southern African countries is compared. The Mount Namuli inselberg is likely to be a biodiversity hotspot and urgently requires biological exploration and conservation

Productivity of Maize-Legume Intercropping under No-till in central Mozambique: Challenges and Opportunities
Rusinamhodzi, L. Et al.
2010
Manica; Sofala
cropping less feasible. Legume intercrops are an alternative and feasible soil surface cover strategy that smallholder farmers can readily utilize. Legume intercrops are important in farming systems because they can ensure food security, increase income, reduce soil erosion, suppress weeds and fix N resulting in increased efficiency of land use through more complete utilization of solar radiation, water and nutrients. This paper seeks to evaluate the productivity of maize-grain legume intercropping as an alternative to sole cropping especially in mixed crop-livestock systems where harvest/cereal crop residues are fed to livestock and thus are not available for mulch.

A new species of Atheris (Serpentes: Viperidae) from northern Mozambique
Branch, W. & Bayliss, J.

Nampula; Zambézia
A new species of forest viper (Atheris Serpentes: Viperidae) is described from Mount Mabu and Mount Namuli, northern Mozambique. This is the most southerly record of the genus, and the first record from Mozambique. Features of scalation, colour, body form and behaviour distinguish the new species from all other African Atheris, particularly its small size (maximum total length 384mm), retention of juvenile colouration in adults, and relatively low ventral, subcaudal and labial scale counts. It appears to be a dwarf, possibly paedomorphic, species that feeds among leaf litter on small frogs and geckos.

Chinese trade and investment in the Mozambican timber industry: A case study from Cabo Delgado Province
Ekman, S-M.; Wenbin, H. & Langa, E.
2013
Cabo Delgado
China’s demand for timber has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, so that today, more than 80% of Mozambican timber exports are destined for China. Demand for forest products presents both opportunities and challenges for Mozambique. As the country’s sixth‑largest export, timber represents one of the most important industries and sources of income. However, the intense search for resources puts pressure on the sustainable management of the forests.

Carbon Cycling, Fire and Phenology in a Tropical Savanna Woodland in Nhambita, Mozambique
Ryan, C.
2009
University of Edinburgh
Sofala
In the savanna woodlands of Southern Africa, locally know as miombo, carbon cycling is poorly quantified and many of the key processes remain obscure. For example, seasonal constraints on productivity and leaf display are not well understood. Also, fire is known to be a key process, with around 50% of the annual global area burned occurring in Africa, but detailed understanding of its ecological effects is lacking. Land use change and woodland degradation are changing the structure and functioning of these tropical woodlands, which cover 2.7 million km2 of Southern Africa and provide ecosystem services which support the livelihoods of over 100 million people.

Effects of habitat fragmentation on bird communities of sand forests in southern Mozambique
Wilson, J.; van Aarde, R. & van Rensburg, B.
2009
OSTRICH
Maputo
We investigated the influence of forest fragment size and isolation on the bird assemblages in the species- and endemic-rich sand forests of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism, southern Mozambique. Point-centre surveys were conducted across 12 sand forest patches that varied in size and isolation. Patch size and isolation had little influence on bird species richness, but the number of individuals decreased significantly with increasing isolation. Furthermore, bird abundances were correlated to a combination of the size and isolation of patches. Many forest specialists, in particular large-bodied frugivores, were highly sensitive to reduced patch size and increased distances between patches.

Dung survey bias and elephant population estimates in southern Mozambique
Olivier, P.; Ferreira, S. & van Aarde, R.
2009
African Journal of Ecology
Maputo
We used dung surveys to estimate population size and extracted an age structure from boli diameters for the elephants living in the Maputo Elephant Reserve. Our estimate was based on published defecation rates, dung decay rates, distance-sampling techniques and 1,672 dung piles encountered on 204 line-transects. The reserve had at least 311 (95% CI: 198–490) elephants at a density of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.38–0.94) per km2. However, observer bias reduced effective strip widths and inflated estimates and their confidence limits. The age structure extrapolated from dung measurements indicated few newborn calves compared with other populations.

A medium-sized achatinid from Benguer[u]a Is. in the post-Pleistocene Bazaruto Archipelago off central Mozambique is identified as Cochlitoma churchilliana (M. & P., 1895) sensu lato, thereby considerably extending the range of this species (complex?) northward. Variation in apex, size, shape and colour of the shell of this complex is discussed in detail. Also included are first records for this island of various small species of land snails from leaf litter. Of these four, i.e. Nesopupa farquhari Pilsbry, 1917 (Vertiginidae), Trachycystis rivularis (Krauss, 1848) (Charopidae), Cecilioides pergracilis Connolly, 1939 (Ferussaciidae), and Curvella amicitiae Van Bruggen, 1968 (Subulinidae), are new records for the Mozambique list.

African swine fever in Mozambique: Review, risk factors and considerations for control
Penrith, M-L.
2007
Todas as Províncias
African swine fever (ASF) is the most important disease that constrains pig production in Mozambique. Until 1994 it was apparently restricted to the central and northern provinces, but since 1994 outbreaks have been experienced throughout the country. ASF causes severe economic losses both in the small commercial sector and among the large numbers of small-scale producers in the family sector in rural and peri-urban areas. The history of ASF in Mozambique since its first confirmation in 1960 is briefly reviewed, recent outbreaks are reported, and the available information on the virus genotypes that have been responsible for some of the outbreaks is presented.

Field Training in Community-Based Crop Protection MZEP Report to WWF SARPO
Niassa
A strategy for reducing elephant-human conflict was implemented at Matchedje village, previously identified as a site of high conflict. We introduced a range of robust, low cost methods to be used by farmers to protect their crops from elephants and other wild animals. The methods included basic fencing and alarm systems, chilli-based deterrents and noisemakers.

Niassa
A new rupicolous girdled lizard, Cordylus meculae Branch, Rödel & Marais, is described from Serra Mecula in the Niassa Game Reserve, northern Mozambique. Morphologically it is closest to C. rhodesianus - which is restricted to the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe (850 km south) - but has more rugose head shields, a wider rostral and grey colouration. Although geographically closer to C. nyikae (found 450 km to the west, across the Rift Valley region and Lake Malawi) it differs in numerous features, including details of scalation and nostril position.

Department of Forest Sciences Faculty for Agriculture and Forestry
Niassa
The purpose of this study was to quantify carbon stocks on locally relevant land use classes in Niassa province, northern Mozambique, and evaluate the change of carbon stocks caused by forest plantations. Six major land use classes were identified: dense miombo, open miombo, other woody vegetation, fallow land, eucalypt plantations and pine plantations. A sample plot grid was laid on chosen areas representing each of the classes. Vegetation aboveground carbon stocks (trees, shrubs and herbaceous vegetation) were recorded in the inventory and topsoil (30 cm) was sampled for soil organic carbon content, to be determined in laboratory.
