Adult Achatina land snail, Skukuza, Kruger Specimens examined are deposited in the fol- National Park. lowing collections: KNPC - Kruger National Park Museum Collection, Skukuza, Republic of South Africa; NMNH - National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA; TMSA - Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa. Field investigations of the natural history of T. m. delagorguei were conducted in the Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga Province, Republic of South Africa, between 7 December and 20 December, 2009, and between 28 November and 16 December, 2010. Our investigations focused on the areas surrounding the Skukuza, Pretoriuskop, and Satara tourist camps, where many of the museum specimens of T. m. delagorguei and other large-bodied Carabidae had been collected. Diurnal visual surveys for adult beetles were conducted by either driving slowly or walking along roads, trails, and firebreaks. Diurnal surveys were conducted in multiple vegetation communities as defined by Gertenbach (1983): Acacia grandicornuta Gerstner (Leguminosae) bottomland sodic flats; Acacia nigrescens Oliver (Leguminosae) – Combretum apiculatum Sonder (Combretaceae) woodland; Terminalia prunioides Lawson (Combretaceae) woodland; Terminalia sericea Burchell (Combretaceae) woodland; and riparian gallery forest. Diurnal surveys were conducted from 8 AM to 4 PM daily under all weather conditions, ranging from full sun to partial clouds to overcast to light rain to heavy rain. In addition to the diurnal surveys, pitfall traps of 7 cm to 20 cm diameter were deployed in the same vegetation communities where diurnal surveys were conducted, in order to sample nocturnally active Carabidae. Nocturnal "headlamping" surveys for Tefflus spp. and other Carabidae were also conducted in the Skukuza tourist camp and the N'waswitshaka research camp near Skukuza.

Data from: Population genomics and morphometric assignment of western honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the Republic of South Africa
Backgrounds: Apis mellifera scutellata and A.m. capensis (the Cape honey bee) are western honey bee subspecies indigenous to the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Both bees are important for biological and economic reasons. First, A.m. scutellata is the invasive "African honey bee" of the Americas and exhibits a number of traits that beekeepers consider undesirable. They swarm excessively, are prone to absconding (vacating the nest entirely), usurp other honey bee colonies, and exhibit heightened defensiveness. Second, Cape honey bees are socially parasitic bees; the workers can reproduce thelytokously. Both bees are indistinguishable visually. Therefore, we employed Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS), wing geometry and standard morphometric approaches to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of these bees to search for diagnostic markers that can be employed to distinguish between the two subspecies. Results: Apis mellifera scutellata possessed the highest mean number of polymorphic SNPs (among 2,449 informative SNPs) with minor allele frequencies >0.05 (Np = 88%). The RSA honey bees generated a high level of expected heterozygosity (Hexp = 0.24). The mean genetic differentiation (FST; 6.5%) among the RSA honey bees revealed that approximately 93% of the genetic variation was accounted for within individuals of these subspecies. Two genetically distinct clusters (K = 2) corresponding to both subspecies were detected by Model-based Bayesian clustering and supported by Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) inferences. Selected highly divergent loci (n = 83) further reinforced a distinctive clustering of two subspecies across geographical origins, accounting for approximately 83% of the total variation in the PCoA plot. The significant correlation of allele frequencies at divergent loci with environmental variables suggested that these populations are adapted to local conditions. Only 17 of 48 wing geometry and standard morphometric parameters were useful for clustering A.m. capensis, A.m. scutellata, and hybrid individuals. Conclusions: We produced a minimal set of 83 SNP loci and 17 wing geometry and standard morphometric parameters useful for identifying the two RSA honey bee subspecies by genotype and phenotype. We found that genes involved in neurology/behavior and development/growth are the most prominent heritable traits evolved in the functional evolution of honey bee populations in RSA.
