Tick-borne pathogens, including Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, at livestock markets and slaughterhouses in western Kenya by Chiuya, T., Masiga, D.K., Falzon, Laura C., Bastos, A.D.S., Fèvre, Eric M., Villinger, J.

“…Vectors of emerging infectious diseases have expanded their distributional ranges in recent decades due to increased global travel, trade connectivity, and climate change. Transboundary range shifts, arising from the continuous movement of humans and livestock across borders, are of particular disease control concern. …”

Population genomics of the widespread African savannah trees Afzelia africana and Afzelia quanzensis reveals no significant past fragmentation of their distribution ranges by Donkpegan, A.S.L., Piñeiro, R., Heuertz, M., Duminil, J., Daïnou, K., Doucet, J.-L., Hardy, Olivier J.

“…We aimed to infer whether these species underwent range fragmentation and/or demographic changes, possibly reflecting how savannahs responded to Quaternary climate changes. We characterized the genetic diversity and structure of these species across their distribution ranges using nuclear microsatellites (SSRs) and genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) markers. …”

Greening the Dark Side of Chocolate: A Qualitative Assessment to Inform Sustainable Supply Chains by Camargo, M.C., Hogarth, N.J., Pacheco, P., Nhantumbo, I., Kanninen, M.

“…Thematic analysis of the responses revealed six main themes: (1) make better use of policies, regulations and markets to help promote sustainability; (2) improve information and data (e.g., impacts of climate change on cocoa) to inform sound interventions; (3) focus on the landscape rather than the farm-level alone and improve integration of supply chain actors; (4) promote better coordination between stakeholders and initiatives (e.g., development assistance projects and corporate sustainability efforts); (5) focus on interdependent relationships between social, environmental and economic dimensions to achieve sustainable development; and (6) engage with the private sector. …”

Organic carbon burial and sources in soils of coastal mudflat and mangrove ecosystems by Sasmito, S.D., Kuzyakov, Y., Lubis, A.A., Murdiyarso, D., Hutley, L.B., Bachri, S., Friess, D.A., Martius, C., Borchard, N.

“…Despite increasing recognition of the critical role of mangrove ecosystems for climate change mitigation, there is limited understanding of soil organic carbon sequestration mechanisms in undisturbed low-latitude mangroves, specifically on organic carbon burial rates and sources. …”

Calculation of new enteric methane emission factors for small ruminants in western Kenya highlights the heterogeneity of smallholder production systems by Goopy, John P., Ndung’u, Phyllis W., Onyango, Alice A., Kirui, Peter, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus

“…EF were similar for sheep (4.4 vs 5 kg CH4/year), but lower for goats (3.7 vs 5 kg CH4/year) than those given for SR in developing countries in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Tier I) estimates. Conclusions Published estimates of EF for SR range widely across Africa. …”

Covid-19 and the Colombian cattle sector: Current and potential developments, impacts and mitigation options by Burkart, Stefan, Díaz, Manuel Francisco, Enciso, Karen, Urrea Benítez, José Luis, Charry, Andrés, Triana Ángel, Natalia

“…The transformation of the primary sector towards more sustainability and efficiency is becoming urgent, not only to increase resilience during times of crisis (as in the actual COVID-19 situation), but also to face the aggravating effects of climate change and combat inequality. Digitalisation and virtualisation have become important means during the crisis in all links of the value chains, creating opportunities for sustainably increasing sector efficiency. …”
