The genetic legacy of polyploid Bolivian Daphnia: the tropical Andes as a source for the North and South American D. pulicaria complex KU Leuven
We investigated genetic variation in asexual polyploid members of the water flea Daphnia pulex complex from a set of 12 Bolivian high-altitude lakes. We used nuclear microsatellite markers to study genetic relationships among all encountered multilocus genotypes, and combined this with a phylogenetic approach using DNA sequence data of three mitochondrial genes. Analyses of mitochondrial gene sequence divergence showed the presence of three very ...

Irrigation water value at small-scale schemes: evidence from the North West Province, South Africa Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Insight into the value of water is essential to support policy decision making about investments in the water sector, efficient allocation of water and water pricing. However, information on irrigation water values at small-scale schemes is scarce and in general little attention is paid to the determinants of these values. In this study values are calculated for small-scale irrigation schemes in the North West Province of South Africa, using the ...
Black Skin Dermatology Online, from the project to the website: a needed collaboration between North and South Universiteit Antwerpen
Background Whereas teledermatology is an emerging discipline, to date, no teledermatology service has been developed, which is specifically dedicated to black skins. Objectives To create and develop a teledermatology service that provides a complete range of communication, information, telediagnosis and teaching services. Methods A multilingual clinical description of the lesion was provided for each photograph using a five-level disease ...
Estimating the effect of water charge introduction at small-scale irrigation schemes in North West Province, South Africa using a two-step data envelopment analysis approach Universiteit Antwerpen
In South Africa water law has recently changed, adopting the principle of water as an economic good, thus levying charges on its use. For small-scale irrigators this is an important change, because currently their water use is entirely subsidized. In the coming years, subsidies will gradually decrease and an essential expected benefit of this policy change is that water use efficiency will rise, leading to reduced consumption and possible ...
