Fine‐scale spatial genetic structure, mating, and gene dispersal patterns in Parkia biglobosa populations with different levels of habitat fragmentation por Lompo, Djingdia, Vinceti, Barbara, Konrad, Heino, Duminil, Jérôme, Geburek, Thomas

“…Here, the highest male reproductive success was observed in trees with a diameter at breast height between 60 and 75 cm.At the scale analyzed, fragmentation does not seem to pose limitations to gene flow in any of the sites investigated, regardless of the landscape configuration associated with the different tree stands. The study provides useful insights on the reproductive biology of an important tree species in the West African savannahs.…”

Mapping the policy process in Nigeria: Examining linkages between research and policy por Aberman, Noora-Lisa, Schiffer, Eva, Johnson, Michael E., Oboh, Victor

“…The policy covered some highly contentious political issues, most prominently the issue of privatization of the fertilizer sector in place of the large-scale and long-standing subsidy program.
