Michael Samways attended the Royal Grammar School , High Wycombe where he won the 6 th Form Prize for Zoology. He completed his bachelor's and doctoral degrees at Nottingham and London Universities during which time he won five scholarships. After a Post-doctoral Fellowship in London and France , and commercial experience in glasshouse biocontrol, Michael went to Brazil to work on fuel alcohol production. He then worked in citrus entomology in Nelspruit, for seven years, before taking up the Chair of Entomology at Natal University , which he held for 16 years. During that time he developed the Invertebrate Conservation Research Centre which won world acclaim, and two awards for Research Excellence in 2002.

Michael joined Stellenbosch University in January 2003 as Professor in the Department of Entomology with a vision to build a world-class research centre in the field of agricultural biodiversity (Centre for Agricultural Biodiversity). This has been an exciting challenge in the agriculturally important and biodiversity-rich Western Cape . He is currently also Chair of the newly-formed Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology.

Michael’s interest is focussed around invertebrate conservation, with special emphasis on insect conservation. There are several thrusts to the research, which are interrelated:

• Conservation of insects across land mosaics, especially agricultural landscapes.
• Interactions between large mammals and insects across the land mosaic.
• Development of metrics for assessing biodiversity
• Restoration of riparian corridors
• Restoration of landscapes with removal of invasive alien plants.
• Design of ecological networks
• Red Listing invertebrates
• Insect conservation ethics
• Tropical island conservation
• Dragonfly biology and conservation
• Coral reef conservation, especially Seychelles and South Africa
• Searching for general principles for invertebrate conservation

Applications from prospective research students and postdoctoral students, in the above fields of study are welcomed.

Michael is a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa and Sometime Fellow of the University of Natal , as well as long-term Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. He is A-rated by the National Research Foundation. He has authored 250 scientific publications, including several books and journal special issues. His books Biological Control of Pests and Weeds and Insect Conservation Biology were international best sellers. His recent book Insect Diversity Conservation has won critical acclaim. He has been involved in several national and global strategic plans, and is currently on the IUCN/SSC's Steering Committee and Chair of the SSC Invertebrate Conservation Sub-committee. He is on the Editorial Boards of Conservation Biology , Biodiversity and Conservation , Journal of Insect Conservation , Journal of Orthoptera Research and Odonatologica , and is a Counselor for the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.

New book wins critical acclaim by top journal

Click to see the larger image The new book Insect Diversity Conservation (2005; Cambridge University Press) by Michael Samways of the Department of Entomology and Centre for Agricultural Biodiversity, University of Stellenbosch, and Chair of the IUCN/SSC Southern African Invertebrates SG and focal point for invertebrates on the SSC Steering Committee has been glowingly reviewed in the leading journal of Nature (2 June 2005, p. 566). The reviewer, Norman Myers of Green College, Oxford University, described our “bug-driven word” “as being dealt with in splendid detail” and says the author “displays a flair for engaging asides”. Myers concludes by saying “There are very few insect books of such expansive scope, and this one could be a standard text for years. It will be welcomed by specialists in entomology, biodiversity, mass extinction, evolution and half-a-dozen associated fields. But it is much more than an expert book for experts; it should appeal to everyone interested in the fast-diminishing biodiversity of our planet”.

Extinction Reprieve

South Africa has many rare and threatened endemic invertebrates. Among these are certain damselflies and dragonflies that are globally threatened, principally by invasive alien trees; two such species are the the Cape Bluet (pictured below left) and the Ceres Stream Damsel (pictured below right). Both of these species were thought to be extinct, the Ceres Stream Damsel has not been seen since 1920, while the Cape Bluet has not been recorded since 1962. However, in 2004, both species were found inhabiting a small pool of standing water in the Western Cape (pictured below centre). The area had recently been cleared of invasive alien trees. This is the first time that such a recovery has been demonstrated and is a very positive and exciting development showing that removal of invasive trees can result in recovery of some natural species that were on the brink of extinction.

Paradise Regained

Cousine Island, Seychelles, (pictured below left) is one of the last remaining tropical islands with no invasive alien animals. Indeed many of the native animals are unique to the island, like the whip spider pictured below. Many of the invasive alien plants have been removed, and the island is now one of the premier near-natural tropical island sites in the world. At the invitation of the island’s trustees, we have been actively involved in ecological research on Cousine Island for the last eight years. Our research has focused on terrestrial recovery as well as on the health of the coral reefs. We have also conducted major research projects on the behaviour of the butterflyfish which inhabit the reefs.

Ecological Indicators

Over the last twelve years, we have conducted intensive research into habitat restoration and landscape ecology. A major result of these studies has been how remarkably sensitive grasshoppers (pictured below left) are to environmental conditions in South Africa. Similarly, stream recovery can be monitored using a sensitive set of species, like the endemic damselfly pictured bottom right. Research on restoration ecology continues within the department with several major projects concentrating on identifying other macroinvertebrate taxa as environmental indicators. Along with grasses, they provide remarkable insights into the quality of habitats. We believe that with the right management, the veld and the rivers of South Africa can be restored to their original condition.

Ecological Networks

The most important question for the future of biodiversity is how to keep pace with the demands of agricultural production without compromising biodiversity. Ten years ago, we embarked on intense research to answer this question. As a result of these studies, we have shown that increased agricultural production and biodiversity conservation need not be mutually exclusive. We have demonstrated how the design of ecological networks enables biodiversity conservation within in the context of plantation forestry. This dynamic research has been embraced by policy makers across the world and here in South Africa has led to major policy changes in plantation design, utilization and harvesting.
