Issues in contemporary geographical hydrology - Hughes, D.A.
Finding solutions to the many water resource utilisation problems that face South Africa has been the driving force behind a large part of the hydrological research that has been undertaken in the country.

Oceanographic environment of the Sodwana Bay
coelacanths (Latimeria chalumnae), South Africa - Roberts, M.J.; Ribbink, A.J.; Morris, T.; Van den Berg, M.A.; Engelbrecht, D.C.; Harding, R.T.
The existence of these animals at such a shallow depth and in the swift and powerful Agulhas Current led to a suggestion that this might be an isolated group swept well away from the main population in the Comoros, where they live at depths of 200–350 m with little current.

Molecular biology studies on the coelacanth:
a review - Modisakeng, K.W.; Amemiya, C.T.; Dorrington, R.A.; Blatch, G.L.
The discovery of the African coelacanth in 1938 and subsequently the Indonesian coelacanth in 1998 has resulted in a keen interest in molecular studies on the coelacanth.

The South African coelacanths — an account of what is known after three submersible expeditions - Hissmann, K.; Fricke, H.; Schauer, J; Ribbink, A.J.; Roberts, M.; Sink, K.; Heemstra, P.C.
Using the manned submersible Jago, the habits, distribution and number of coelacanths within all main submarine canyons of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park were studied during 47 survey dives, with a total bottom time of 166 hours at depths ranging from 46 to 359 m, between 2002 and 2004.

A dinocephalian therapsid fauna on the Ecca–Beaufort contact in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa - Modesto, S.P.; Rubidge, B.S.; De Klerk, W.J.; Welman, J.
Systematic exploration of outcrops of the lowermost Beaufort Group for fossils of the oldest terrestrial vertebrates of South Africa, known only from the Permian age Eodicynodon Assemblage Zone in Western Cape Province, has resulted in the discovery of a therapsid fauna in Eastern Cape Province that is dominated by advanced dinocephalians.

Studying the impact of ocean eddies on the ecosystem of the Prince Edward Islands: DEIMEC ll - Pakhomov, E.A.; Ansorge, I.J.; Kaehler, S.; Vumazonke, L.U.; Gulekana, K.; Bushula, T.; Balt, C.; Paul, D.; Hargey, N.; Stewart, H.; Chang, N.; Furno, L.; Mkatshwa, S.; Visser, C.; Lutjeharms, J.R.E.; Hayes-Foley, P.
This island group consists of two small volcanic islands and provides many opportunities for studying ecological and evolutionary processes, for monitoring ecological changes in relation to global climate change and for conserving a unique component of the planet’s biological diversity.

Effect of water temperature on the biogeography of South African estuarine fishes associated with the subtropical/warm temperate subtraction zone. - Maree, R.C.; Booth, A.J.; Whitfield, A.K.
Qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted upon the ichthyofaunal assemblages to determine whether the location of the subtropical/warm temperate boundary corresponds to that proposed by Whitfield.(n1) Analyses included the distribution ranges of species associated with estuaries according to presence/absence data, cluster analysis of gill net catches in eight estuaries along the southeastern coast and the relative proportion of tropical to temperate marine species within these eight systems.

Electrochemical characterisation of tetra- and octa-substituted oxo(phthalocyaninato)titanium(IV) complexes - Tau, P.; Nyokong, T.
The first two reductions are metal-based processes, confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry to be due to Ti[superscript IV]Pc[superscript 2?]/Ti[superscript III]Pc[superscript 2?] and Ti[superscript III]Pc[superscript 2?]/Ti[superscript II]Pc[superscript 2?] redox processes and the last two reductions are ring-based processes due to Ti[superscript II]Pc[superscript 2?]/Ti[superscript II]Pc[superscript 3?] and Ti[superscript II]Pc[superscript 3?]/Ti[superscript II]Pc[superscript 4?].
