Short‐Term Effects of Alien Pine Control on Bird Species Richness in Mountain Fynbos, South Africa- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-06-21T18:39:26Z

ABSTRACT Invasive pines alter fire-prone fynbos (a Mediterranean type ecosystem), but short-term avian responses to restoration are poorly documented.

Species richness remained lower in alien-dominated habitat than in natural fynbos. A mixed-effects model showed a significant habitat × (…) @Izuba - Topics / Mediarezo

Rising insecticide resistance necessitates sustainable, ecologically sound alternatives to chemical control. Although larvivorous fish offer a biological solution, introducing exotic species like Gambusia affinis (Baird & Girard, 1853) has caused ecological damage. This study evaluated the efficacy of the indigenous East African annual (…) @Izuba - Topics / Mediarezo
