The impact of disturbance on tree reproductive ecology, and some implications for regeneration and conservation por Gazoul J., Hutacharern C., Liston K., Boyle, T.J.B.

“…The DDF's of mainland SE Asia, which have suffered various degrees of disturbance in recent decades, represent an important habitat that supports a wide range of plants and animals. Our objective is to investigate the impact of past and continuing anthropogenic disturbance on the reproductive ecology of the dominant tree species, thereby assessing the resilience of the forest community as a whole. …”

Graphical approaches to support the analysis of linear-multilevel models of lamb pre-weaning growth in Kolda (Senegal) por Lancelot, R., Lesnoff, Matthieu, Tillard, E., McDermott, John J.

“…Linear-multilevel models (LMM) are mixed-effects models in which several levels of grouping may be specified (village, herd, animal, ...). This study highlighted the usefulness of graphical methods in their analysis through: (1) the choice of the fixed and random effects and their structure, (2) the assessment of goodness-of-fit and (3) distributional assumptions for random effects and residuals. …”

Linking livestock and natural resource management por International Livestock Research Institute

“…Stock densities are also lower in areas with more highly variable rainfall indicating that high variability reduces the number of livestock held, contrary to the oft-mentioned hypothesis that households build greater stockholdings in areas where rainfall is highly variable to survive a drought with more animals. Finally, results from the land allocation estimations give evidence to support the notion that more land is privatised either for crops or pasture where levels of co-operation are lower. …”

“…Bougouni forms part of the expansion zone of the CMDT, which since the mid-1980s has provided support for intensive agricultural systems of cotton-maize rotations with animal traction and use of mineral fertilizer. In the period of the panel survey (1994–2012), cropped land at household level was correlated with household size: households with less than one full team of draft oxen cultivated 0.50 ha/family member, while households with two or more teams cultivated 0.82 ha/family member (R2 > 0.8). …”
