An Illustrated Guide to Some Common Diatom Species from South AfricaTaylor, J; Harding, W. & Archibald, C.2007






Water Research Commission


N/A






Diatoms provide a valuable and well-understood means of biomonitoring – one which is focused at the base of the aquatic foodweb and highly representative of water quality. Although the need for careful microscopic examination and taxonomic identification of species is somewhat demanding, the technique is intended to provide a ‘fourth leg’ to the River Health Programme suite of monitoring tools (currently invertebrates, vegetation and fish).

An Illustrated Guide to Some Common Diatom Species from South Africa
An evaluation of camera traps for inventorying large- and medium-sized terrestrial rainforest mammalsTobler, M. Et al.2008






Animal Conservation


N/A






Mammal inventories in tropical forests are often difficult to carry out, and many elusive species are missed or only reported from interviews with local people. Camera traps offer a new tool for conducting inventories of large- and mediumsized terrestrial mammals. We evaluated the efficiency of camera traps based on data from two surveys carried out at a single site during 2 consecutive years. The survey efforts were 1440 and 2340 camera days, and 75 and 86% of the 28 largeand medium-sized terrestrial mammal species known to occur at the site were recorded.

An Assessment of the Distribution and Conservation Status of Endemic and Near Endemic Plant Species in MaputalandMatimele, H.2016








Maputo






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.

Aerial Surveys for assessing marine mammals and sea turtles in the region of the Mississippi Canyon 252 incidentAd2010








N/A






On 28 April, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center initiated a series of aerial surveys to assess the marine mammal and sea turtle species occurring within areas likely to be affected by oil from the Mississippi Canyon 252 (MS252) incident. There were two primary survey components. First, helicopter flights based in Houma, LA were executed to document the presence ofmarine mammals and sea turtles close to the site and within the oil slick itself. These surveys were designed on an adaptive basis to track the oil slick and support planning for mitigation efforts. Second, broad-scale synoptic surveys were conducted aboard the NOAA Twin Otter.

An annotated checklist of birds of the Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife SanctuaryRead, C. Et al.2014


The Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary (VCWS) lies on the San Sebastian Peninsula, Inhambane Province, southern Mozambique. The dominant terrestrial habitat is low miombo Brachystegia savanna. Less extensive terrestrial habitats include sand forest, dune forest, dune thicket, and open scrub. Freshwater wetlands form the area's most outstanding feature and include a large number of pans, permanent lakes, ephemeral and permanent marshes. Salt water habitats include large expanses of tidally-influenced sand salt marshes and mangroves in the Inhambane Estuary and along the northern and north-western shores of the peninsula.

Africa’s forests cover an estimated 674 million hectares (ha) or 23% of Africa’s land area and account for 16.7% of global forest cover. The region’s forests can be classified into nine categories including tropical rain forests, tropical moist forests, tropical dry forests, tropical shrubs, tropical mountain forest, subtropical humid forests, sub‐tropical dry forests, sub‐tropical mountain forests and plantations. The distribution of these forests varies from one sub‐region to another, with the southern extremes of the Sahara desert having the least forest cover while Central Africa has the densest cover.

The populations of Thelotornis in eastern Africa are reviewed. Thelotornis kirtlandii extend east of the Albertine rift to Uganda and the Imatong Mountains in southern Sudan, but in Tanzania it is only represented by a few relict populations in montane forests, surrounded by T. mossambicanus (Bocage) in the savanna. The latter taxon is recognised as a good evolutionary species, as it is sympatric with T. capensis oatesii (Günther) in Mutare District on the eastern escarpment of Zimbabwe. Thelotornis usambaricus sp. nov., intermediate between T. kirtlandii and T. mossambicanus, is described from coastal forests in northeastern Tanzania.

A new species of chameleon (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae: Nadzikambia) from Mount Mabu, central MozambiqueBranch, W. & Tolley, K.2010


Nadzikambia is a monotypic genus described to accommodate the Mulanje chameleon, N. mlanjensis. During herpetological surveys of isolated mountains in Mozambique a population of chameleons was discovered on Mount Mabu. It is referable to the genus Nadzikambia, but features of scalation, colouration and genetic divergence distinguish this population from N. mlanjensis. It is described as a new species, Nadzikambia baylissi, and represents the second species in the genus and the first record of the genus in Mozambique. Notes on reproduction in N. mlanjensis are appended. The discovery of the new species in a mid-altitude evergreen forest remnant on Mount Mabu emphasises the high conservation importance of the region.

Cabo Delgado






A waterbird survey was carried out in December 2009 on nine marine islands in Quirimbas National Park, Mozambique. We counted 14,982 individuals of 34 species. Eighty-two per cent of the birds were Palearctic migrants. For six species (Crab-plover Dromas ardeola, White-fronted Plover Charadrius marginatus, Lesser Sand Plover C. mongolus, Greater Sand Plover C. leschenaultii, Grey Plover Pluvialis squatarola, Lesser Crested Tern Sterna bengalensis) numbers exceeded the 1% Ramsar criterion; the park thus qualifies as a wetland of international importance. Two-thirds of the birds were observed in four large high-tide roosts far from human disturbance, highlighting the importance of controlling such activities close to these sites.

N/A






National parks as natural areas preserved from the more disruptive forms of economic provide a multitude of benefits to humankind, and these may be classified as either on-site use benefits or off-site benefits. This paper reports an applied case which is concerned with the measurement of the value of the recreational use benefits for one such national park. Whilst the national park is under no immediate threat, having an indication of the economic value of recreational opportunities within the park can aid future planning and decision-making.

In the late 1980s, following various industrial accidents that occurred around the world resulting in adverse impacts on the environment and loss of life, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) suggested a series of measures to help governments and communities, particularly in developing countries, minimize the occurrence and harmful effects of technological hazards and environmental emergencies. Often impacts can be reduced if the immediate local level response is effective.

N/A






Multivariate statistical analyses of data on environmental variables and benthic fauna from 14 oil and gas fields obtained from 24 surveys collected between 1985 and 1993 are presented. At all fields oil-based drilling mud was used. The purpose of this study was to investigate contamination gradients, assess effects on benthic fauna both spatially and temporally and to evaluate measures such as diversity indices, indicator species and multivariate analysls techniques in assessment of pollution. Results from analyses of baseline surveys of environmental variables and fauna were charactensed by a lack of distinct gradients in station placement, having a typical shot-gun pattern in PCA-, DCA- and MDS-ordination analyses.

2013-2014




Inhambane






Up to five species of marine turtle are reported to have bred on the shores of Mozambique (Louro et al, 2006: Fernandez et al, 2014). In the past, however, information was scanty, often only colloquial and sometimes misleading. In recent years more attention has been paid to the situation and slowly better information and more accurate data have been obtained (Louro et al, 2012; Pereira et al, 2009; Videira et al, 2010). Efforts have been made to collate and organize the available historical data and combine this with current information (Louro et al, 2012; Pereira et al, 2009; & Videira et al 2010; Louro et al, 2012; Fernandez et al, 2014) and this is leading to a much better understanding of the status of marine turtles in Mozambique.
