Using generalised additive models to visualise the annual cycle of primary feather moult patterns Open
Moult is a vital but energy-demanding event in a bird's phenological cycle. Primary moult is the shedding of old feathers and the regeneration of new flight feathers to maintain efficient functioning of these critical structures. Life hist…

An atmospheric inversion over the city of Cape Town: sensitivity analyses Open
An atmospheric inversion was performed for the city of Cape Town for the period of March 2012 to June 2013, making use of in situ measurements of CO2 concentrations at temporary measurement sites located to the north-east and south-west of…

Migratory connectivity of barn swallows in South Africa to their Palaearctic breeding grounds Open
Aim To demonstrate that the population of barn swallow Hirundo rustica in South Africa in the austral summer is not a pan‐mixture of birds from their vast Palaearctic breeding range and to estimate proportions of barn swallows in four Sout…

An atmospheric inversion over the city of Cape Town: sensitivityanalyses Open
We present sixteen different sensitivity tests applied to the Cape Town atmospheric Bayesian inversion analysis from March 2012 until June 2013. The reference inversion made use of a fossil fuel inventory analysis and estimates of biogenic…

Estimates of CO <sub>2</sub> fluxes over the city of Cape Town, South Africa, through Bayesian inverse modelling Open
We present a city-scale inversion over Cape Town, South Africa. Measurement sites for atmospheric CO2 concentrations were installed at Robben Island and Hangklip lighthouses, located downwind and upwind of the metropolis. Prior estimates o…

Comparison of the genetic algorithm and incremental optimisation routines for a Bayesian inverse modelling based network design Open
The design of an optimal network of atmospheric monitoring stations for the observation of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations can be obtained by applying an optimisation algorithm to a cost function based on minimising posterior uncertain…

Estimates of CO <sub>2</sub> fluxes over the City of Cape Town, South Africa,through Bayesian inverse modelling Open
The results of a high resolution Bayesian inversion over the City of Cape Town, South Africa, are presented, which used observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide from sites at Robben Island and Hangklip lighthouses collected over a sixtee…

Learning from single extreme events Open
Extreme climatic events (ECEs) have a disproportionate effect on ecosystems. Yet much of what we know about the ecological impact of ECEs is based on observing the effects of single extreme events. We examined what characteristics affect t…
