Sirkelsvlei - there's more than meets the eye
For many years, the MeaseyLab conducted monitoring of Xenopus gilli in Cape Point. We also conducted a lot of research during that period and, thanks to the excellent work of Andre de Villiers, learned a lot about the biology of this species.
Now, Sue Matthews, has written up some of this information in a feature article for the magazine Water Wheel. In the article Sue tells the story of this special vlei that occurs in Cape Point. She also takes the opportunity to tell her readers a lot more about the story of Xenopus gilli conservation. It's well worth a read!
