- Description: In this paper, we analyse how different domains of subjective wellbeing evolve within seven years in three different cohorts born 10 years apart. On average, general life satisfaction – as well as satisfaction with leisure time, social contacts and friends, and family – declines substantially between the ages of 15 and 44, with the most significant decrease taking place at a young age (early 20s). Nevertheless, trajectories among the three cohorts differ markedly, indicating that, ceteris paribus, responses on subjective wellbeing differ greatly between cohorts born just a decade apart. The results further indicate that the two older cohorts assess family life and social contacts more favourably than the youngest cohort.

- Description: Study of the biology, anatomy and taxonomy of the sciaenid fishes of the genus Argyrosomus from South Africa and Namibia revealed that three species were confused under the name ‘Argyrosomus hololepidotus (Lacepede, 1801)”. Comparison of morphometric and meristic data, otoliths, swim-bladders, drumming muscles, and other morphological features, of specimens from southern Africa, Madagascar, the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Japan and Australia, established that the “A. hololepidotus” of recent authors is a complex of four species: A. japonicus (Temminck & Schlegel, 1843), which occurs off southern Africa, Japan and Australia; A. inodorus sp. nov., which is known from Namibia to the Kei River (32°40’S) on the east coast of South Africa; A. coronus sp. nov., which is known from central and northern Namibia and Angola, and A. hololepidotus, which appears to be endemic to Madagascar. These four species are compared with A. regius (Asso, 1801) of the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, A. thorpei Smith, 1977 from South Africa, Mozambique and the west coast of Madagascar, and A. beccus Sasaki, 1994 known only from Durban harbour. To promote stability in the nomenclature and to resolve the confusion in the taxonomy of Argyrosomus species, neotypes are selected for A. hololepidotus and A. japonicus. The biology, distributions and fisheries of six species are reviewed. Distribution patterns for the southern African species and a key to the seven species known from Africa and Madagascar (A. regius, A. japonicus, A. inodorus, A. coronus, A. thorpei, A. beccus, and A. hololepidotus) are provided. The composition and distinction of the genus Argyrosomus are briefly discussed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: Region D is one of the eight so-called development regions created in terms of a regional development strategy mapped out by the South African government in a White Paper of 1982. The region essentially consists of the Eastern Cape Province, the Border corridor, and the nominally 'independent' homelands of Ciskei and Transkei (southern part) stretching from Uniondale in the west, to Middelburg in the north and Umtata in the east. There is clearly a need to develop a data base for this region especially as it has been afforded priority status in terms of the new regional development policy. The purpose of this Working Paper is therefore to provide a statistical profile of Region D, distinguishing where possible between various sub-regions within Region D and between Region D and the rest of South Africa. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

A molecular analysis of the Afrotropical Baetidae

- Description: Recent work on the Afrotropical Baetidae has resulted in a number of important taxonomic changes: several polyphyletic genera have been split and more than 30 new Afrotropical genera have been established. In order to test their phylogenetic relevance and to clarify the suprageneric relationships, we reconstructed the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the Afrotropical Baetidae. We sequenced a total of ca. 2300 bp from nuclear (18S) and mitochondrial (12S and 16S) gene regions from 65 species belonging to 26 genera. We used three different approaches of phylogeny reconstruction: direct optimization, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood. The molecular reconstruction indicates the Afrotropical Baetidae require a global revision at a generic as well as suprageneric level. Only four of the 12 genera were monophyletic when represented by more than one species in the analysis. Historically, two conflicting concepts of the suprageneric classification of Afrotropical Baetidae were proposed. One was based on the gathering of sister genera into complexes and the other on the division of the family into a restricted number of subfamilies. According to our reconstruction, neither is completely satisfactory: the major complexes of genera present in Africa are either paraphyletic or polyphyletic and the division of the Afrotropical Baetidae into two subfamilies is probably too simplified.

- Description: The gobiid fish genus Gnatholepis Bleeker is characterised as follows: dorsal-fin rays VI+I,10-12, the spines slender, none filamentous; anal-fin rays I,11-12; pectoral-fin rays 14-19, none free of membrane; pelvic disc with a frenum; scales on body largely ctenoid, 28-31 in longitudinal series; gill-rakers short, 1 + 3-4; anterior interorbital pores 2; sensory papillae on cheek primarily in a pattern of 4 or 5 vertical rows; body moderately elongate, the depth 3.8-5.4 in SL; head and body compressed; dorsal profile of head initially near-vertical, often with a slight anterior protuberance above upper lip; lower lip with a ventral flap on side of jaw; mouth inferior, the gape slightly oblique; teeth anteriorly in jaws in several rows, the outer row in upper jaw as slender well spaced canines (outer row of teeth at front of lower jaw may or may not be caniniform); tongue bilobed; gill opening ending slightly below level of lower edge of pectoral-fin base; caudal fin rounded, usually longer than head; a dark line extending ventrally from eye, sometimes with one or more side branches. Of the 21 nominal Indo-Pacific species that have been described in Gnatholepis, only 5 are recognised as valid. G. anjerensis (Bleeker), for which a neotype is described, occurs from East Africa and the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands and French Polynesia [synonyms include G. deltoides (Seale), G. knighti Jordan and Evermann, and G. corlettei (Herre)]. G. cauerensis (Bleeker) is provisionally divided into 4 subspecies, mainly by modal differences in pectoral-ray counts and slight colour variation: G.cauerensis cauerensis from East Africa to the Society Islands (G. scapulostigma Herre and G. inconsequens Whitley are synonyms); G. c. australis from Rarotonga, Cook Islands to the Pitcairn Islands; G. c. hawaiiensis from the Hawaiian Islands; and G. c. pascuensisfrom at Easter Island. G. davaoensis Seale, also provided with a neotype and description, ranges from the Ryukyu Islands to the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia (G. gemmus Herre is a synonym). G. gymnocara, n. sp., is described from 26 specimens from shallow water of Queensland and the Northern Territory, Australia; it is unique in having 12 anal-fin soft-rays, prepectoral scales, no scales on cheek and opercle, median predorsal zone naked or with only a few small scales across its anterior part, and a large black spot on fourth interspinous membrane of dorsal fin in males. Gnatholepis sp., also a new species from northern Australia, will be described by Helen K. Larson; it is distinct in having 10 dorsal soft-rays, 15-17 pectoral-fin rays, no scales on cheek, opercle, median predorsal zone, or prepectoral area; and the last 2 to 4 mid-lateral blotches of the male dark brown to black. The count of pectoral-fin rays is the most useful meristic character to separate the species and subspecies of Gnatholepis: G. anjerensis, with 14-17 rays, has a strongly modal count of 16; G. cauerensis cauerensis and G. c. hawaiiensis have 16-19 rays (strongly modal 17); G. c. australis has 17-19 rays (modally 18); G. c. pascuensis has 18 or 19 rays, modally 19; G. davaoensis has 15-17 rays, modally 17. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

A question of inclusivity: how did average incomes change over the first fifteen years of democracy?

- Description: This paper attempts to assess the extent of inclusivity in post-apartheid income growth by focusing on one intuitive part of the income distribution: the actual middle (or middle-income strata). If South African macro and social policy explicitly aims to be ‘inclusive’, it is important to know how the average [median] South African income level changed over the first fifteen years of democracy. Common summary measures of economic progress such as GDP per capita may mask the standard of living experienced by the majority of the population in any particular period. Tracking the progress in the middle strata of South Africa’s income distribution provides a fresh perspective on the nature of economic progress in the country. This is against a worrying backdrop of rising income inequality post-1994 (Van der Berg and Louw, 2004; Hoogeveen and Özler, 2006; Leibbrandt et al, 2010). The paper is structured as follows. Section 2 motivates for the importance of focussing on the actual middle of the income distribution and highlights the emphasis on reducing income inequality within South African macroeconomic and social policy. Issues of comparability in the data and the choice of definition for the middle are discussed in section 3. Section 4 presents descriptive statistics relating to changes in incomes, and ends with a brief analysis of non-income measures of progress. The final section summarises the main findings and concludes.

- Description: Towards the end of 1984 the Development Studies Unit (DSU) in the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at Rhodes University identified a need to undertake an investigation into the status of overall physical and socio-economic planning and development in Grahamstown. The initial intention of such an investigation was to identify, analyse and assess existing research related to the development of Grahamstown in order to provide a benchmark that could reduce the incidence of duplication and overlap in future research projects and to provide a point of departure for the design of more specific and action-oriented research and the formulation of feasible strategies for future development in the City. During the course of comprehensive background investigation and discussions with a wide range of local interest groups, it became clear that the proposed review of issues related to planning and development in Grahamstown would be far more extensive than originally anticipated. In addition, 1985 turned out to be an eventful year and the DSU actively encouraged research by other agencies and individuals into related issues which were deemed to be an integral part of the proposed review. For these reasons, it was decided to publish the preliminary research results in a series of Development Studies Working Papers to provide a focus of attention for particular aspects of the work. This was felt to be in accordance with the intent of the ISER Development Studies Working Paper Series which is to publish the basic results of research undertaken in order to facilitate and encourage its further development into more substantial publications. This has resulted in a series of Working Papers to be published under the general title of "A Review of Issues Related to Planning and Development in Grahamstown". This Working Paper is the fourth in the series and consists of an annotated bibliography of publications dealing with the process of planning and development in Grahamstown. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: Fifteen species of the labrid fish genus Halichoeres occur in the western Indian Ocean (west of the southern tip of India): hortulanus (centiquadrus of many authors), scapularis, (ziczac is a synonym), marginatus (lamarii, ianthinus and virescens are synonyms), dussumieri (nigrescens of many authors; javanicus, dubius and dianthus are synonyms), pardaleocephalus (first western Indian Ocean record), hoevenii (vrolikii is a synonym), nebulosus (previously confused with margaritaceus which does not occur in the Indian Ocean), zeylonicus (bimaculatus of most authors is a synonym), lapillus, and six new species (stigmaticus, pelicieri, cosmetus, iridis, trispilus, and leucoxanthus). H. stigmaticus from the Persian Gulf is distinctive in having 28 lateral-line scales, 6 or 7 suborbital pores, and a U-shaped black mark on side above pectoral fin tips in males; H. pelicieri from Mauritius is a close relative of H. zeylonicus, differing chiefly in the colour of males (pelicieri with a broad blackish zone in dorsal fin and no large black spot on upper side); H. cosmetus, wide-ranging in the western Indian Ocean and a close relative of H. ornatissimus of the Pacific and Cocos-Keeling Islands, is alternately striped with bluish gray to green and salmon pink or yellow; H. iridis, also a species of the western Indian Ocean, has a dark brown body except for a red band along the back and an orange-yellow head with green bands; H. trispilus, known only from Mauritius and the Maldives, is pale pink with a diagonal row of three dark brown spots on upper caudal base and usually three black dots on back; H. leucoxanthus, known only from the Maldives, southwest Thailand and Java, is yellow dorsally and abruptly white on ventral half of body with a dark spot behind the eye, a black spot on upper caudal base, and three others in the dorsal fin. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
