Life history and reproductive ecology of selected proteaceae in the mountain Fynbos Vegetation of the South-Western Cape by Le Maitre, David

“…For example both fire recurrence intervals and the seasonal fire frequencies follow predictable patterns and therefore provide a basis for natural selection. Life-history theory links the evolutionary perspective - why organisms have evolved to be the way they are - and the ecological perspective - how traits function in the current environment. …”

Elephant space use in relation to ephemeral surface water availability in the eastern Okavango Panhandle, Botswana by Makati, Anastacia

“…Mean daily distances were computed to investigate the effect of season on elephant daily distances and the distances ranged between 5km and 6.8km in the late wet and in the early wet and late dry season respectively.

Microgrid planning and design under uncertainty: A case study in Northern Angola by Kamanzi, Brian

“…The design of a proposed Microgrid solution for N'zeto and Tomboco villages located in Angola is developed through a thorough context study used in conjunction with remotely acquired contextual data and a variety of estimation and model techniques. Microgrids are defined as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity functioning with two modes of operation. …”
