Does plant form recapitulate its therapeutic function? a test for red sap plants
The Doctrine of signature suggests there are parallels between a plant's appearance, structure, or therapeutic functions that it may have on the corporal systems of the human body as well as the disease it treats. This concept, often considered more of a traditional belief than an established scientific theory has been dismissed as primitive and unscientific or as a mnemonic aid. However, direct tests of these theoretical predictions are rare, su…
Policy and Land Degradation Are Neglected in the Desertification, Land Degradation, and Drought Research Landscape in South Africa
Globally, issues related to desertification, land degradation, and drought (DLDD) are increasing, with a multitude of negative socioeconomic and ecological impacts reported. In particular, Africa is recognized as one of the regions that are most vulnerable to these negative impacts. In response, cross‐country collaborations to mitigate and build resiliency to DLDD are promoted, with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification playing …

Random Patterns of Medicinal Plants on a Phylogeny do not Imply Random Selections of Medicinal Plants
Existing studies report that medicinal plants are either phylogenetically clustered or that plant medicinal property is phylogenetically conserved. Each scenario is traditionally interpreted as evidence of non-random selection by humans of medicinal plants. Here, we argue that this interpretation is misleading, highlighting that both scenarios are simultaneously required for a correct interpretation of human selection of medicinal plants. We prop…

Household Pharmaceutical Waste Management Practices in the Johannesburg Area, South Africa
Pharmaceutical wastes are expected to increase given the increasing population growth rates and rapidly rising economic burden of human diseases. This challenge calls for appropriate measures for the management of such hazardous wastes. The purpose of this survey was to document and investigate existing practices for the handling, storage, and disposal of household pharmaceutical wastes (HPWs) in the Johannesburg area. Primary data were collected…
Testing the non-random hypothesis of medicinal plant selection using the woody flora of the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa
Formulating best practice recommendations for prepaid electricity meter deployment in Soweto, South Africa – Capitalising on the developed‐world's experiences
This study seeks to formulate best practice indicators characterising the prepaid electricity meter market. This was undertaken by reviewing both developed and developing countries' experiences with the technology, conducting in‐depth interviews with key stakeholders, and applying the strength weaknesses opportunities threats analysis tool. The generated outcomes are used to formulate a set of best practice recommendations that can inform decisio…
Strong seedling recruitment does not limit mangrove vulnerability to harvest
Ecological studies on the impacts of timber harvesting contributed to inform sustainable management strategies of tropical forests. However, these studies rely strongly on two major assumptions: (i) strong seedlings recruitment predispose for positive population dynamics, and (ii) more adult trees is a guarantee for a strong reproductive capability of the population. These assumptions are applied without accounting for the life history of the har…
