Assessment of the effect of season and location on microbiological and physicochemical quality of livestock drinking water in Ginchi watershed, Ethiopia by Duguma, B., Tegegne, Azage, Hegde, B.P.

“…The water was moderately hard to hard (range of hardness 80–170 mg/l CaCO3) with high turbidity due to traditional farming practices, which resulted in large quantities of topsoil runoff ending up in the river after rains. Trace metal levels were low suggesting low metal contamination of the rivers. …”

High-resolution mapping of resistance to cassava mosaic geminiviruses in cassava using genotypingbysequencing and its implications for breeding by Rabbi, Ismail Y., Hamblin, M., Kumar, P. Lava, Gedil, Melaku A, Ikpan, A., Jannink, Jean-Luc, Kulakow, Peter A.

“…These findings suggest that there is a single source ofmonogenic resistance in the crop’s genepool tracing back to a common ancestral clone. In the absenceof further resistance diversification, the long-term effectiveness of the single gene resistance is knownto be precarious, given the potential to be overcome by CMGs due to their fast-paced evolutionary rate.However, combining the quantitative with the qualitative type of resistance may ensure that this resis-tance gene continues to offer protection to cassava, a crop that is depended upon by millions of peoplein Africa against the devastating onslaught of CMGs.…”

Wildlife population dynamics in human-dominated landscapes under community-based conservation: The example of Nakuru Wildlife Conservancy, Kenya by Ogutu, Joseph O., Kuloba, B., Piepho, Hans-Peter, Kanga, E.

“…We analyze the population dynamics of 44 common wildlife species in relation to rainfall variation in the Nakuru Wildlife Conservancy (NWC), located in the Nakuru-Naivasha region of Kenya, based on ground total counts carried out twice each year from March 1996 to May 2015. Rainfall in the region was quasi-periodic with cycle periods dependent on the rainfall component and varying from 2.8 years for the dry season to 10.9 years for the wet season. …”
