Congrats to Anthony and team on the publication of the final chapter from his PhD, describing the costs and benefits of the relationship between sociable weavers and pygmy falcons. Follow the thread to learn about his fascinating findings.

Jimny Gathering time with @Suzuki_ZA! Ours have made the journey all the way from the Kalahari to Clarens. Amazing to see hundreds of Jimny’s in and around the town.

Congratulations to @WendZ_222 on the publication of more of her PhD work, investigating how pangolins respond to changing food availability. Many long hours of data gathering in the Kalahari, supported by @Suzuki_ZA and @Tswalu. academic.oup.com/conphys/art…

PhD student @makabudi attended the International Mammalogical Congress in Alaska this week, with support through a student travel award from @IMammalogy. She presented her work on dietary overlap between the aardvark and ground pangolin. @Suzuki_ZA @Tswalu

Azraa is another student carrying out research under the KEEP umbrella. We will bring you more updates on her research soon.

Continuing our long-term transects in the Kalahari to investigate how vegetation and invertebrates change over time. Crucial information for understanding impacts on food webs. With support from @Suzuki_ZA and @Tswalu

Kim Scholtz, a PhD student at the University of the Western Cape, recently visited Tswalu to investigate whether Cape cobras were still active around sociable weaver nests. With no breeding birds at this time of year, there were no cobras to be found.

Great to see Femi’s work on the breeding biology of pygmy falcons published!

We’re delighted to have Daniel Rossouw joining the team. Daniel will conduct MSc research to further explore the ecological role of pangolins and their importance in a dryland ecosystem. He is off to a good start, with the brilliant @Suzuki_ZA Jimny to help him out!

Do sociable weaver nests matter for reptiles? Read more here. With support from @Suzuki_ZA and @TswaluFdn. blog.suzukiauto.co.za/blog/d…

In a wonderful blog, @halbrindley describes his journey to the Kalahari to see an aardvark at @Tswalu and get involved in our research, with the help of some fine @Suzuki_ZA vehicles!

Our team carrying out insect and vegetation transects at @Tswalu, extending our measurements into the 9th year (measurements every two months). With the help of our trusty @Suzuki_ZA Jimny.

Fascinating foraging association observed between Cape foxes and striped polecats. Well done to @KalahariProject member @WendZ_222, @Arctic_paws and Alexander Sliwa on publishing these observations.

Thank you @Suzuki_ZA for supporting our research with another Jimny! We’re now so well equipped to access remote sites for our fieldwork. #BornForThis #SuzukiSA
