Life cycle and host preferences in the Agapanthus borer (Neuranethes spodopterodes)
… on all the six Agapanthus species including A. africanus (p>0.05). This shows that the chemical composition of these species is closely related. Since the larva has no feeding preference, this reinforces the fact that it is the female moth that chooses the host plant and that it abides with …

Effects of Instrumentation on Dental Microwear Textures: Reanalysis and Augmentation of an Early Hominin Sample
… a sample of hominin molars (Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus) for comparison with data previously scanned and analyzed on the University of Arkansas' Plu Standard confocal microscope (Scott et al., 2005). The second study expands the sample of early hominins to determine …

The Evolution of the Glenoid Region in the Hominidae: Implications for Hominid Phylogenetics
… Morphological similarities suggest that A. africanus is the direct ancestor of A. robustus , but not A. boisei. Instead, A. aethiopicus is a more likely ancestor of A. boisei. While the comparative data suggests a specific phylogenetic scenario for the australopithecines, identifying the …

Dental pathology, wear and developmental defects in South African hominins
… include Paranthropus robustus, Australopithecus africanus, A. sediba, early Homo, Homo naledi, baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas. Macroscopic examination of each specimen was performed, with a 10X hand lens used to verify certain pathologies. Variables recorded include antemortem chipping, enamel …

The Makapansgat Hominins: A Descriptive and Comparative Morphological Study
… similarities with both <italic>Australopithecus africanus<italic> and <italic>Australopithecus robustus<italic> and that these taxa exhibit considerable overlap in variation. The Makapansgat hominins are distinct in some features, but several competing scenarios are viable. These results are …
