Tydskrif Vir Letterkunde, 41(2):142-156, doi:10.4314/tvl.v41i2.29680.The original publication is available at https://journals.assaf.org.zaIn this article - the text of the annual P.J. Nienaber Memorial Lecture which was held at Stellenbosch on 11th March 2004 - the author mentions the important bibliographies and lists of sources which Nienaber published and which served as the necessary data and preliminary spadework for the writing of a history of Afrikaans literature. He outlines the main task of the literary historian and refers to the controversy that arose after the publication of his own work in the 1980s. He mentions other publications in the field of literary history, including Michael Chapman's Southern African Literatures, and in conclusion formulates his own vision of what a history of literature ought to be.https://journals.assaf.org.za/index.php/tvl/article/view/5005Publisher's versio

The species name rather obviously refers to the common name of the host plant.</p> <p> <b>Rearing records and biology</b>. <i>Parapanteles rooibos</i> was reared from <i>Isturgia exerraria</i> (Prout) (Geometridae: Ennominae) feeding on the legume <i>Aspalathus linearis</i> (commonly known as the rooibos tea plant) in South Africa. The life cycle in rearing conditions (25 °C, L:D= 14h:10h) was 16 days. An alternative host, <i>Spodoptera exigua</i> (Prout), was not accepted. The parasitoid seems to have a strong preference for L 2 larvae of the host. After 10 days (25 °C) a small, white cocoon is formed. In the field, cocoons can be found individually glued to the needle­like leaves of the plant (Figs. 2 A, B) with mostly more than one cocoon per plant. The cocoons were normally observed on the perimeter of the upper parts of the host plant. Average day temperature in the observation field rises from 23°C in October to 35°C in February. Average night temperature is about 15–20°C lower than daylight temperatures. Adult parasitoid emergence in the observed field was 86% in October but rapidly decreased later in the season due to hyperparasitism by <i>Pediobius</i> sp. near <i>bruchicida</i> (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Hyperparasitism in November reduced the emergence levels of <i>P. ro o i b o s</i> to 25 % and 5–10 % in December­January. The first <i>P. rooibos</i> cocoons can be found in the field as soon as the <i>I. exerraria</i> begins development early in the season (beginning of October). Further investigation on parasitoid behavior in the field started in October 2004.</p>Published as part of <i>Valerio, A. A., Whitfield, J. B. & Kole, M., 2005, Parapanteles rooibos, n. sp.

Evaluating Stakeholder Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Ecosystem Services in Kole Wetlands of Kerala for Effective Conservation Planning
No full textKole wetlands in Kerala are a multifunctional sub-sea level wetland rice agroecosystem with high ecological significance and are one of the most productive as well as threatened wetland in the State. This study attempts to identify the various ecosystem services provided by the Kole wetlands and examine the stakeholder priority for ecosystem services through preference ranking analysis using Garrett’s ranking method. Payment card method was used to estimate the stakeholder willingness to contribute for the conservation in terms of willingness to pay (WTP) and analysed the factors that affect their WTP using an ordinary least square regression model. The data were collected from 50 stakeholders equally representing the major stakeholder groups from three block panchayaths having highest Kole wetland area. The study identified 20 ecosystem services supplied by Kole wetlands illustrating its multifunctional vital role in sustaining ecological and human systems. Stakeholders prioritised the water-related ecosystem services such as groundwater recharge and flood water regulation as the most important service reflecting its critical importance in daily life and agriculture. Estimated mean annual WTP was Rs.211 indicating a general willingness among stakeholders to contribute financially to conservation efforts, as a coping strategy for water related natural disasters. Stakeholder group, Kole tourists were willing to contribute highest amount with mean annual WTP of Rs.248, expecting an improvement of recreational amenities in tourist spots. Stakeholders with higher incomes, larger land holdings, and greater awareness are more willing to pay for the conservation of the Kole wetlands. The insights from the study are valuable for guiding conservation strategies and resource allocation, along with ensuring the supply of essential services and exploring the opportunities for economic diversification, that are crucial to secure necessary financial and non-financial support for the management of Kole wetland ecosystem in a sustainable way
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
