Low genetic variation in the geographically marginal populations in southeast Africa and Western Australia is considered to be the result of bottlenecks, but mismatch distributions suggest that large population sizes have been maintained in Indonesian populations for long periods.

The Asian prosobranch snail Tarebia granifera was reported from South Africa (and Africa) for the first time in 1999 in northern KwaZulu-Natal though it was probably introduced sometime prior to…
An unusual abbreviated larval life in the estuarine burrowing prawn Callianassa kraussi (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thalassinidea)

- Environmental Science
- 1 October 1973
Observations under simulated field conditions in the laboratory, and in the field—where burrow casts were made using a polyester resin, indicated that the larvae metamorphose to the first post-larval stage in the parent burrow, and then burrow directly into the wall of the parent Burrow.
Experimental evidence for the effects of the thalassinidean sandprawn Callianassa kraussi on macrobenthic communities
Bioturbation by thalassinidean sandprawns is known to structure soft-bottom communities, and field observations have suggested that the sandprawn Callianassa kraussi is a significant force…
Chlorophyll concentrations and suspended particulate loads in St Lucia, a turbid estuary on the east coast of South Africa
- P. Fielding, A. Forbes, N. T. Demetriades
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 1991
A comparison of estimates of the standing stocks of carbon from phytoplankton and suspended POM < 100 μm indicated that carbon input from sources other than phy toplankon may be important.
Effects of Callianassa kraussi on microbial biofilms and recruitment of macrofauna: a novel hypothesis for adultjuvenile interactions
The effect of C. kraussi on juveniles of the macrofauna, apparently brought about via its effects on biofilms, emerges as one of the primary mechanisms structuring macrofaunal communities.

Biological effects of salinity gradient reversals in a southeast African estuarine lake
St Lucia Lake on the north coast of Natal, South Africa, has an area of 325 km2 and is the largest estuarine complex in Africa. It consists of a 20 km tidal channel, averagingca. 400 m in width,…
