- Description: The calliphorid fly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), is known to cause serious malign myiasis in animals, whereas its sibling species Lucilia sericata (Meigen) is commonly a carrion breeder and is used in maggot debridement therapy (MDT). The current study reports an accidental involvement of L. cuprina in MDT in Alexandria, Egypt, that has proved to be safe and effective. In November 2008, the laboratory colonies of L. sericata (the species regularly used in MDT) at the Faculty of Science, Alexandria University were renewed by Lucilia flies collected as third instar larvae on exposed rabbit carcasses. Flies from the new colonies were successfully used to heal the diabetic foot wounds of two patients at Alexandria Main University Hospital. Analysis of DNA sequences and adult and larval morphology then revealed that these flies were and still are L. cuprina. Breeding of this species in carrion in Alexandria is a new record. Despite the safety of this strain of L. cuprina in MDT, entomologists rearing blow flies for the purpose of wound debridement should regularly maintain high quality assurance of their species’ identity to avoid possible clinical complications that may result from the introduction of an unexpected and invasive species to their laboratory colonies.

Balancing moult data by subsampling non-moulting birds prior to regression analysis

- Description: During the analysis of moult records from the SAFRING database it was found that for some datasets the records were not evenly distributed temporally and the proportion of moulting to non-moulting birds was not what would be expected from random sampling. In an attempt to balance these data, the records of non-moulting birds were subsampled with different sample sizes prior to moult regression analysis, and the resulting moult estimates were then compared. The results suggest that subsampling non-moulting birds such that they occur in the expected proportion to actively moulting birds, based on the duration of moult, provides the best estimates of moult.

Reflecting on the next generation of models for community-based natural resources management

- Description: Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has been a pervasive paradigm in conservation circles for three decades. Despite many potentially attractive attributes it has been extensively critiqued from both ecological and sociological perspectives with respect to theory and practice (for example Leach et al. 1999; Berkes 2004; Fabricius et al. 2004; Blaikie 2006). Nonetheless, many successful examples exist, although an equal number have seemingly not met expectations. Is this because of poor implementation or rather a generally flawed model? If the criteria and conditions for success are so onerous that relatively few projects or situations are likely to qualify, what then is the value of the model? The questions thus become: how and what can we learn from the past theory and practice to develop a new generation of flexible, locally responsive and implementable CBNRM models, and what are likely to be the attributes of such models?

Relative feather mass indices: are feather masses needed to estimate the percentage of new feather mass grown for moult regression models?

- Description: During the moult of primary wing feathers in birds it is likely that new feather material is being produced at an approximately constant rate if the energetic requirements of the birds are met. In moult regression analyses it is, therefore, desirable to transform moult measurements into a variable based on the amount of new feather material produced because of its linear properties. This can be achieved if the mass of each primary feather is known, and used as a weighting factor in a moult index. These primary feather masses would have to be known for every species being analysed. As an alternative, it is here tested if feather mass indices may be sufficient replacements for species-specific feather masses. Thirty-five species of birds with known primary feather masses were divided into four wing-shape groups, and a feather mass index was built for each group. Within each group, comparisons were made between estimates of moult parameters using the moult index with those using the known primary feather masses. Within groups there were no significant differences between any of the moult estimates.

- Description: The importance of the middlemen of marketing was recently high-lighted with the publication of a thirty item 'food basket' for South Africa. While the producer's share of the foodbasket is usually of chief interest to the farmers of our country and often to agricultural economists, the field of traditional agricultural marketing takes in the whole area from farm gate to consumer's table.

- Description: A popular view of tabloids is that they pander to the lowest common denominator of public taste, they simplify complex issues, and they generally fail to provide information that citizens need in order to make informed political judgments - the latter being the raison d’etre of serious newspapers. In summary, tabloids “lower the standards of public discourse” (Ornerbring and Jonson, 2004:283).
