A new species of Paracooperia Travassos, 1935 was found in the small intestines of 4 bushbuck, Tragelaphus scriptus (Pallas, 1766), and 3 greater kudu, Tragelaphus strepsiceros (Pallas, 1766), all culled in the Kruger National Park. The nematodes appear to be widespread in the Park, since the bushbuck originated from Skukuza in the central part of the Park, 2 of the 3 kudu from near Malelane in...

J. Kruger and D. Dunning (1999) argued that the unskilled suffer a dual burden: Not only do they perform poorly, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. J. Krueger and R. A. Mueller (2002) replicated these basic findings but interpreted them differently. They concluded that a combination of the better-than-average (BTA) effect and a regression artifact bette...

A total of 264 scrub hares (Lepus saxatilis) were examined for ixodid ticks at various localities in the Kruger National Park, eastern Transvaal Lowveld. Thirteen tick species were recovered from these hares. The seasonal abundances of the immature stages of Amblyomma hebraeum, Amblyomma marmoreum, Hyalomma truncatum, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, Rhipicephalus si...

In 1948, in the Institute of Hans Kopfermann in Gottingen, where I had just completed my experimental diplom-arbeit under Peter Brix, it was well known that I was supporting myself and my studies by the repair and barter of pre-war radios. So when Hubert Kruger, then one of Kopfermanns assistants, wanted to launch a search for rf spectra in solids, I was a natural choice and was signed on as hi...

An explanation of the Dunning-Kruger effect is provided which does not require any psychological explanation, because it derived as a statistical artefact. This achieved by specifying simple model explicitly takes (random) boundary constraints into account. fits data perfectly.
