Pastoral resource access and utilization: quantifying the spatial and temporal relationships between livestock mobility, density and biomass availability in southern Kenya by Butt, B.

“…Data are temporally stratified in order to account for seasonal effects. Across seasons, there is a positive relationship between cattle mobility and resource availability with the trend more pronounced during drier periods, reflecting a strategy of increased resource access. …”

Brazil: Maintaining the momentum by Beintema, Nienke M., Pardey, Philip G., Avila, Flavio

“…After a period of slow or no growth during the late 1970s and 1980s, public agricultural research investments in Latin America rebounded during the early 1990s.1 These regional trends were heavily influenced by developments in Brazil, which accounted for close to half of the region’s total agricultural research expenditures (Beintema and Pardey 2001). …”

Season‐specific varietal management as an option to increase rainfed lowland rice production in East African high altitude cropping systems by Abera, B.B., Stuerz, S., Senthilkumar, Kalimuthu, Cotter, M., Rajaona, A., Asch, F.

“…Rainfed rice production systems have accounted for a large share of this expansion. In these systems, the potential growing period not only depends on the length of the rainy season and thus water availability, but is often, especially in the highlands of East Africa, bordered by the onset of the cool period of the year, when low minimum temperatures compromise rice yields. …”

Studies of the browsing and reproductive behaviour of the East African Dwarf goat by Wilson, P.N.

“…Behaviour studies were carried out for 24-hour periods on four groups of experimental goats. There were no major differences between the behaviour of the several animals within a group at any given trial, but there were small statistically significant differences in the times individual goats spent ruminating. …”

Wildlife corridor use amongst reticulated giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya by Lund, Johanna

“…A total of 563 passages were recorded and in 461 of them the sex could be verified. Male giraffes accounted for 447 of these passages (97% of all passages with recorded sex) and females 14 (i.e., only 3% of all passages with known sex) during the three-year period. …”

Do girls pay the price of civil war? Violence and infant mortality in Congo by Dagnelie, Olivier, De Luca, Giacomo, Maystadt, Jean-François
