Breeding practices and trait preferences of smallholder farmers for indigenous sheep in the northwest highlands of Ethiopia: Inputs to design a breeding program por Abebe, A.S., Alemayehu, K., Johansson, A.M., Gizaw, Solomon

“…Overall, the results implied that sheep breeding objectives suitable for the northwest highlands of the country can be derived from traits such as linear body measurement, weight and survival at different ages, and lambing intervals. However, selection decisions at the smallholder level should not only be based on estimated breeding values of traits included in the breeding objective but instead, incorporate ways to address farmers’ preference for qualitative traits.…”

Identifying future hotspots of fire danger in the tropics: climate fire predictions for 2050, 2075 and 2100 por Román Cuesta, Rosa María, Lizano, Gil

“…Fire danger is here understood as the probability of fire spreading over more extended areas under severe climatic conditions (precipitation, temperature and drought), under more extreme future conditions determined by the CMIP5 data. Because human decisions on the land are difficult to model and project in the future, we here focus on projecting climate-driven fire danger only.…”
