Assessing predator-prey interactions in a chemically altered aquatic environment: the effects of DDT on Xenopus laevis and Culex sp. larvae interactions and behaviour
(Springer, 2019)Behavioural assays are used as a tool to understand ecotoxicological effects on organisms, but are often not applied in an ecologically relevant context. Assessment of the effect of chemical contaminants on behaviours ... -
Carbon nanotubes in the 21st century: an advancement in real time monitoring and control of environmental water
(Wiley, 2019)Abstract: This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction -- Challenges and Prospects for Further Application -- Conflict of Interest -- Acknowledgments -- Contributions -
Developing a contamination susceptibility index for the Goreangab Dam in Namibia
(Elsevier, 2020)The convenience and quality of life provided by dams is highly dependent on the quality of the retained water. Human intervention plays an important role in defining the quality of the retained water as expanding human ... -
Diatom teratologies as biomarkers of contamination: are all deformities ecologically meaningful?
(Elsevier, 2017)Contaminant-related stress on aquatic biota is difficult to assess when lethal impacts are not observed. Diatoms, by displaying deformities (teratologies) in their valves, have the potential to reflect sub-lethal responses ... -
Modelling the water quality in dams within the Umgeni Water operational area with emphasis on algal relations
(North-West University, 2007)Based on many years of water quality (including algal) and water treatment cost data, available at Umgeni Water, a study was undertaken to better understand the water quality relationships in man made lakes within the ...
