Dissolved oxygen differed significantly by bloom state, with the highest dissolved oxygen concentrations. Larval fish density, diversity and community structure variability were lower during hypereutrophic blooms compared to standard blooms and bloom absence, albeit statistically insignificant. Estuarine resident larval density was negatively correlated with dissolved oxygen concentration (P < 0.001). Dominant prey copepod of G. aestuaria larvae, P. hessei, was less abundant and variable during hypereutrophic blooms (mean: 664, range: 4-4301 individuals per m3) compared to standard blooms (mean: 950, range: 2-5237 individuals per m3) and bloom absence (mean: 1182, range: 23-7259 individuals per m3). Although HABs did not appear to drive a mismatch between prey and G. aestuaria larvae, early juvenile larvae made only a small contribution to the assemblage (0.2-1.8%). In terms of predator effects, yolk sac larvae were negatively related to R. terranatalis (P < 0.05). A significant positive relationship was found between prey, P. hessei and G. aestuaria preflexion (P < 0.001), flexion (P < 0.001) and postflexion (P < 0.05) larvae. In a world first, the effects of HABs were investigated on a larval fish species, Gilchristella aestuaria, using biochemical body condition analyses. During severe bloom conditions, G. aestuaria larvae were smaller and the assemblage consisted of mainly early developmental stages (stats). Body condition (RNA per dry weight) was poorest in the presence of hypereutrophic blooms (P < 0.001). A bell-curved relationship between RNA/DW and dissolved oxygen concentration was also produced in a 3-day time-lagged GAM (P < 0.001). In conclusion, hypereutrophic bloom conditions appeared to trigger adult G. aestuaria spawning in the upper mesohaline zone of the estuary in response to heightened primary productivity which occurs during the early bloom stage. However, reductions in copepod abundance (P. hessei) and unfavourable oxygen concentrations interfered with grow-out of G. aestuaria larvae. This research showed that HABs can alter nursery properties to the detriment of G. aestuaria larvae can have serious knock-on effects up the food chain. The loss in abundance of adult, juvenile and larval G. aestuaria, a key forage fish in South African estuaries, has major implications for estuarine food webs, especially in reduced prey availability to juvenile fishes and birds. There is still much to learn about the effects of HABs on the physiological and behavioural aspects on plankton communities worldwide.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:10:51 SAST ]]> The design of a regional Archives in Swellendam, South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:59944 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:10:29 SAST ]]> Understanding the relationship between mangrove composition, stand dynamics and resource use in the Ntafufu estuary, Eastern Cape, as basis for sustainable resource use https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:41611 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:10:26 SAST ]]> The design of a 21st century administrative headquarters for the city of Gqeberha https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:57870 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:09:53 SAST ]]> Interactive visualisation of electricity usage in smart environments https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:70687 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:06:06 SAST ]]> An efficient approach for the synthesis of dolutegravir and its analogue exploiting flow chemistry https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:70635 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:05:11 SAST ]]> The impact of agricultural infrastructure on rural livelihoods in KwaZulu-Natal https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39508 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:03:23 SAST ]]> Mechanisms and modes of β-N-methylamino-lalanine neurotoxicity: the basis for designing therapies https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:32483 Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:50:54 SAST ]]> Method validation for the quantification of casticin in vitex agnus castus fruit using an ftir multivariate chemometric model https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31222 Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:50:33 SAST ]]> Terrestrial alien ferns (Polypodiophyta): a global assessment of traits associated with invasiveness and their distribution and status in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:35643 Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:50:28 SAST ]]> Production potential of lucerne (Medicago sativa) over-sown into kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) based pasture https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:35510 Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:43:34 SAST ]]> Using spatial explicit capture-recapture model to investigate the demography and spatial dynamics of lion prides in Pilanesberg National Park https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:62318 1 year) with a density of 8.8 lions per 100 km2 . The estimated mean home range size of male lions was 279 km2 with a highest probability density (HPD) range of 179 – 385 km2 . The estimated mean home range of female lions was 191 km2 with a HPD range of 135 – 262 km2 . The larger home range size for male lions and smaller home range size for females is found v throughout the African continent in protected areas. The estimated sex ratio was 0.9♀:1♂, which is unexpected as PNP sex ratios between male and female lions is usually 2♀:1♂. A future sampling design for PNP was produced from the completed lion survey dataset. I drove a total of 7350 km and evaluated the influence of varied sampling efforts (i.e., kms driven) on precision estimates and relative bias for abundance, movement, and sex ratio. I found that a minimum of 4 000 km was needed to adequately estimate the lion abundance, movement, and sex ratio in this small fenced protected area. These findings can be used to help guide management to the most cost-effective sampling method and still obtain accurate estimates for monitoring lions. By showing management what is required for appropriate lion surveys this might help improve future monitoring.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 11:40:30 SAST ]]> Facilitating alumni support for a low-resourced high

Most combination treatments showed to have an antagonistic effect except for cisplatin:BC-7 (1:3, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1) and cisplatin:A. afra (1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 3:1) combinations that showed synergism. The 1:2 ratio of cisplatin:BC-7 and the 2:1 ratio of cisplatin:A. afra were additive. CI values were also calculated at inhibition of 10, 25 and 75% of HeLa cell growth, for each combination mixture. Antagonistic effects were frequently observed at lower effect levels such as at 10 and 25% inhibition of growth. However, this was not seen for the cisplatin:BC-7 combinations as all the ratios indicated synergism. Some of these ratios, such as the 1:3 and 1:2, even led to a greater degree of synergism being obtained, with noticeable antagonistic effects seen at 50 and 75% inhibition of growth. The current finding is that BC-7 and A. afra could lower the dose of cisplatin in combination to achieve a similar anti-cancer efficacy compared to the higher cisplatin dose when used alone. The lower dosage in combination could result in reduced drug resistance as well as limit the toxicity on normal cells associated with cisplatin treatment. In conclusion, this study shows, for the first time, that A. nemorosa has the potential to induce apoptosis and also has some anti- and pro-inflammatory activity in HeLa cancer cells. This study also enhanced the knowledge of the mechanism of apoptosis induction of BC-7, in a more detailed manner, as well as investigated its inflammatory effects for the first time. Results obtained for A. afra correlated nicely to previously reported studies and confirmed that the methods used in this study, although different, leads to the same conclusions. Combination treatments also indicated, for the first time, that BC-7 and A. afra have the ability to function in a synergic manner with cisplatin and proves that, although extensive research may have been done on a plant or compound, more can be discovered.
