1. The Bushbuckridge environment and potentials for conflict The Bushbuckridge area of South Africa, together with the Pilgrim's Rest and Graskop area that adjoins it at the top of the escarpment, is a complex and sensitive environment of human settlement, commercial agriculture and nature reserves. Bushbuckridge town, from which the region is named, is a small trading and administrative centre...

Herbivory and fire shape plant community structure in grass-dominated ecosystems, but these disturbance regimes are being altered around the world. To assess the consequences of such alterations, we excluded large herbivores for seven years from mesic savanna grasslands sites burned at different frequencies in North America (Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas, USA) and South Africa (Kruge...

One of the most important transboundary animal diseases (TADs) in the southern African region is foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In this region, a pathway for spread of FMD virus is contacts between cattle and certain species of wildlife. The objective of this study was to evaluate contacts between cattle and wildlife in the Kruger National Park (KNP) and the adjacent Limpopo province for the tim...

The Kruger National Park is a stronghold for African wild dog Lycaon pictus and cheetah Acinonyx jubatus conservation in South Africa. Tourist photographic surveys have been used to evaluate the minimum number of wild dogs and cheetahs alive over the last two decades. Photographic-based capture-recapture techniques for open populations were used on data collected during a survey done in 2008/9....

The 2007 Darpa grand challenge is a 100 km race between autonomous vehicles in an urban environment. This paper presents the results of kinematic motion study in order to quantify the minimum perception range requirements of a canonical set of manoeuvres that are required for the event. The paper also considers the potential advantage that a course reversal strategy may provide competitors that...

Extracts of adult schistosomes collected from Hippopotamus amphibius in the Kruger National Park gave alpha naphthyl acetate isoenzyme patterns after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that did not correspond with those of either Schistosoma mansoni or S. rodhaini.
