LoGov South Africa Interview Report n°5
<p>The interviews have been realised in the framework of the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 project “LoGov - Local Government and the Changing Urban-Rural Interplay” as part of the implementation phase of the project. The interviews have been conducted with experts in the field of public administration, public law and political science, both researchers and practitioners, with the aim of widening the scope of the Country Report on South Africa.</p> <p>To access the full transcription of this interview, the other interview reports on South Africa, and to receive more information about the project, please visit: <a href="https://www.logov-rise.eu/">https://www.logov-rise.eu/</a>. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 823961.</p>

Variation in herbivore space use: comparing two savanna ecosystems with different anthrax outbreak patterns in southern Africa
<p><span>Background</span></p> <p><span>The distribution of resources can affect animal range sizes, which in turn may alter infectious disease dynamics in heterogenous environments. The risk of pathogen exposure or the spatial extent of outbreaks may vary with host range size. This study examined the range sizes of herbivorous anthrax host species in two ecosystems and relationships between spatial movement behavior and patterns of disease outbreaks for a multi-host environmentally transmitted pathogen. </span></p> <p><span>Methods</span></p> <p><span>We examined range sizes for seven host species and the spatial extent of anthrax outbreaks in Etosha National Park, Namibia and</span><span> Kruger National Park, South Africa, where the main host species and outbreak sizes differ</span><span>. We evaluated host range sizes using the local convex hull method at different temporal scales, within-individual temporal range overlap, and relationships between ranging behavior and species contributions to anthrax cases in each park. We estimated the spatial extent of annual anthrax mortalities and evaluated whether the extent was correlated with case numbers of a given host species. </span></p> <p><span>Results</span></p> <p><span>Range size differences among species were not linearly related to anthrax case numbers. In Kruger t</span><span>he main host species </span><span>had small range sizes and high range overlap, which may heighten exposure when outbreaks occur within their ranges. However, different patterns were observed in Etosha, where the main host species had large range sizes and relatively little overlap. The spatial extent of anthrax mortalities was similar between parks but less variable in Etosha than Kruger. In Kruger outbreaks varied from small local clusters to large areas and the spatial extent correlated with case numbers and species affected. </span><span>Secondary host species contributed relatively few cases to outbreaks; however, for these species with large range sizes, case numbers positively correlated with outbreak extent.</span></p> <p><span>Conclusions</span></p> <p><span>Our results provide new information on the spatiotemporal structuring of ranging movements of anthrax host species in two ecosystems. The results linking anthrax dynamics to host space use are correlative, yet suggest that, though partial and proximate, host range size and overlap may be contributing factors in outbreak characteristics for environmentally transmitted pathogens. </span></p>

CS3 Land-based IMTA abalone South Africa - Socio economic analysis
<p>Data set builds on dataset and bio-economic modelling "CS3 Land-based abalone IMTA - bioeconomic model South Africa 2022" (available in the AquaVitae community in Zenodo) by considering the integrated inclusion of sea cucumbers in abalone farming. It considers three different impacts of including sea cucumbers and compares the socio-economic effects in these with a baseline scenario of abalone farming without sea cucumbers.</p>

Fig 3 in Two Asian freshwater snails newly introduced into South Africa and an analysis of alien species reported to date
Fig 3. (A) Tree based on 533 nucleotides of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I mtDNA of lymnaeid samples, with the outgroup Planorbis corneus. (B) Tree based on 360 nucleotides of the mt 16S rDNA of lymnaeid samples, with the outgroup Stagnicola elodes. Numbers on branches represent Bayesian posterior probabilities percentages, neighbour-joining and maximum parsimony bootstrap values, respectively. Only values greater than 50 % are shown; * indicates support of <50 % for distance analysis. Figures adapted from Nadasan (2011). RRA – lymnaeid samples from Amatikulu, South Africa; LND – lymnaeid samples from Durban, South Africa.

Figs 5, 6 in Field observations on Milichia patrizii ant-mugging flies (Diptera: Milichiidae: Milichiinae) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Figs 5, 6. Food exchange between Milichia patrizii and Crematogaster castanea tricolor: (5) General view; (6) An enlargement showing details of the food exchange interaction. The ant's antenna is enfolded by the pilose clypeal membrane of the fly's proboscis. The long hairs on the fly's proboscis likely serve to capture liquids from the mouth of the ant.
