Contribution des pesticides agricole a l’induction de resistance aux insecticides chez le vecteur du paludisme, anopheles gambiae s.l.(diptera : culicidea) by Defo Talom, B.A.

“…About 16.7% (2/12) of the sites examined and posistive for anopheles were contaminated with λ-cyhalothrin residues in the sites of Benin and no contamination was noted in the sites of Cameroon. The presence of copper (probably from fertilizer) was noted in 10 of the 12 mosquito developmental sites in Benin, and a positive correlation (r = 0.81; P = 0.0017) between this presence and the resistance to λ- cyhalothrine showed the possible contribution of non-insecticidal compounds to the evolution of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors. …”

Physiological response of soybean [Glycine max L. Merril] genotypes to drought-induced stress: preliminary screening for drought under south sudan agro-ecological (Ironstone/Mounta... by Gama, P.B.S., Vuga, A.J., Chigeza, G.

“…This clearly indicated that the respond of different accessions to drought stress varies from one accession to another and identify the following TGx 2004–13F, TGx 1987–62F, TGx 1448–2E, TGx 2010–3F, TGx 1485–1D, Local–107 as drought susceptible. It should be noted that, the narrow genetic diversity in the soybean accessions would likely not provide a wider genetic variability in response to drought stress. …”

A literature review of citizen science for hydrological monitoring - with specific focus on lessons learned in developing countries by Kwakye, E., Barron, J., Adusei-Gyamfi, J., Atampugre, Gerald, Tilahun, Seifu A.

“…Addressing participants' concerns and obtaining ethical approval were crucial steps in maintaining ethical standards, but they were not always transparent in the reviewed literature. It was noted in several of the 14 reviews that most citizen science initiatives were researcher-designed, and much fewer examples exist in full co-design mode between scientists, project implementers, and the citizens and communities executing data collection. …”
