Plant-soil feedback in the ‘real world’: how does fire fit into all of this? by Kardol, P., Yang, T., Arroyo, Daniel Nicolas, Teste, Francois Philippe

“…We know that feedback between plants and soil biota depends on several external factors, such as nutrient and water availability, and interactions with neighbouring plants. We argue that in the ‘real world’, PSF are not working in isolation but instead proceed within a complex context of multiple interacting factors. …”

Environmental and agronomic determinants of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) seed yield in rainfed temperate agroecosystems by Renzi Pugni, Juan Pablo, Garayalde, Antonio Francisco, Brus, Jan, Pohankova, Tereza, Smýkal, Petr, Cantamutto, Miguel Angel

“…The inclusion of honey bees (HB) as pollinators did not significantly increase the seed yield, which might be due to alternative pollinator activity coming from neighbouring fields. A boundary function showed that an annual precipitation of 680 ± 243 mm and a sowing date during late autumn-early winter appeared to be sufficient to maximise seed yield under rainfed conditions. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure of early and extra-early maturing maize germplasm adapted to sub-Saharan Africa by Badu-Apraku, Baffour, Garcia-Oliveira, A.L., Petroli, C.D., Hearne, S., Adewale, Samuel A., Gedil, Melaku A

“…The minor allele frequency and PIC ranged from 0.015 to 0.500 and 0.029 to 0.375, respectively. The STRUCTURE, neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) grouped the inbred lines into four major classes generally consistent with the selection history, ancestry and kernel colour of the inbreds but indicated a complex pattern of the genetic structure. …”

Current trends in River Bathymetry using UAV-borne technology to inform E-flow assessments in Southern Africa by Singh, K.

“…This document reports on core research within a project that delves into management of E-flows in the Limpopo and neighbouring basins in Southern Africa. It covers a scientific investigation to determine optimal water quantities and qualities for river systems and to assist with their management. …”

Analysis of antibiotic use, biosecurity and mortality in semi-intensive broiler farms in Kenya by Kemunto, Naomi P., Muloi, Dishon M., Ibayi, Eugine L., Njaramba, Jane K., Hoffmann, Vivian, Murphy, Mike, Nielsen, S.S., Moodley, Arshnee

“…Univariable screening suggested potential associations between antibiotic use and vaccination of day-old chicks, flock size, cleaning protocol for chicken drinkers, resting period between batches, feed store cleaning, water source, distance from neighbouring farms, and age. However, these were not significant in multivariable logistic regression. …”

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

“…We conclude that trees in the disturbed site have reduced pollination success due to disrupted flow of compatible pollen caused by localized foraging behaviour of the small bee pollinators and exessive tree to nearest neighbour distances. Our results indicate that trees at low density receive fewer compatible pollen, thereby limiting fruit set and, potentially, population recovery. …”

Stochastic spatio-temporal modelling of African swine fever spread in the European Union during the high risk period by Nigsch, A., Costard, Solenne, Jones, B.A., Pfeiffer, Dirk U., Wieland, Barbara

“…Since ASF emerged in Georgia in 2007 the disease has spread to several neighbouring countries and cases have been detected in areas bordering the European Union (EU). …”

Control of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia: Knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and practices in Narok District of Kenya by Kairu-Wanyoike, S.W., Kiara, Henry K., Heffernan, C.L., Kaitibie, S., Gitau, G.K., McKeever, Declan J., Taylor, N.M.

“…In addition, planning vaccinations should involve pastoralists and neighbouring countries. As the results cannot be generalized, further studies on CBPP control methods and their effectiveness are recommended.…”

Dual-purpose cattle production in Nicaragua: Which breed fits best? by Wurzinger, Maria, Ojango, Julie M.K., Corrales, Roldan, Urbina, M.M., Hoek, Rein van der, Quirós, Carlos F., Poole, Elizabeth J., Okeyo Mwai, Ally

“…In Nicaragua and neighbouring countries, smallholder dual-purpose (i.e., milk and beef) cattle production offers opportunities for poor cattle owners to improve their food and nutrition security, and increase their income. …”

High selfing rate, limited pollen dispersal and inbreeding depression in the emblematic African rain forest tree Baillonella toxisperma – Management implications by Duminil, J., Mendene Abessolo, D.T., Ndiade Bouroboue, D., Doucet, J.L., Loo, J., Hardy, Olivier J.

“…The mean pollen dispersal distance was relatively low for such a low-density population species (estimated to be 690 or 777 m depending on analysis method) and, together with a low mean number of pollen donors (NEP = 2.76), it suggests a pattern of nearest-neighbour mating where allo-pollen could be a limiting factor. …”

Evidence for extensive genetic diversity and substructuring of the Babesia bovis metapopulation by Flores, Daniela, Minichiello, Y., Araujo, Flabio Ribeiro de, Shkap, V., Benitez, Daniel Francisco, Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo, Rolls, P., Mosqueda, J., Pacheco, Maria Gabriela, Petterson, Maria Elizabeth, Florin-Christensen, Mónica, Schnittger, Leonhard

“…The pairwise similarity of multilocus genotypes (MLGs) was assessed and a neighbour-joining dendrogram generated. MLGs were found to cluster according to the country/continent of origin of isolates, but did not distinguish the attenuated from the pathogenic parasite state. …”

Native tree regeneration in native tree plantations: understanding the contribution of Araucaria angustifolia to biodiversity conservation in the threatened Atlantic Forest in Arge... by Medina, Micaela, Pérez Flores, Magalí, Goya, Juan Francisco, Campanello, Paula Inés, Pinazo, Martin Alcides, Ritter, Luis Javier, Arturi, Marcelo Fabian

“…We also compared native tree species richness in planted araucaria stands to neighbouring native forest. Species richness was 71 in the planted stands (27 ha sampled) and 82 in native forest (18 ha sampled) which approximate the range of variation in species richness found in the native forests of the study area. …”

Molecular survey of Babesia parasites in Kenya: first detailed report on occurrence of Babesia bovis in cattle by Githaka, Naftaly W., Bishop, Richard P., Šlapeta, J., Emery, D., Nguu, E.K., Kanduma, E.G.

“…Conclusion These findings reveal high prevalence of pathogenic B. bovis in a Kenyan area cutting across a busy transboundary livestock trade route with neighbouring Tanzania. The Babesia multiplex real-time PCR assay used in this study is specific and can detect and differentiate the two Babesia species and should be used for routine B. bovis surveillance to monitor the spread and establishment of the pathogen in other African countries where B. bigemina is endemic. …”
