The history of natural history and race: Decolonizing human dimensions of ecology

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Natural history, loosely defined as the observational study of organisms in the habitats where they occur, is recognized at the roots of ecology. Although the centrality of natural history in ecology has shifted over time, natural history is currently in resurgence: many again consider it to be the foundation of ecological and evolutionary ...

Diet DNA reveals novel African Forest elephant ecology on the grasslands of the Congo Basin

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 846-867, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Elephants are essential ecological engineers, creating and maintaining landscape structure and ecosystem function. The recently distinguished and critically endangered forest elephant is currently classified as a selective, non‐destructive frugivorous browser that maintains forest diversity, while the savanna elephant is a mixed feeder, often ...

Nutritional quality evaluation and proteome profile of forage species of Western Himalaya

Grassland Science, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 214-225, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Naturally occurring forage species in the high‐altitude pasturelands of Western Himalaya are traditionally being utilized for feeding of livestock. However, the nutritional quality evaluation and validation of their potential as feed for livestock needs to be undertaken. Here, we evaluated proximate compositions, minerals and amino acids (AAs)

Effect of fertilizer inputs on productivity and herbage quality of native pasture in degraded tropical grasslands

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 216-227, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract The practice of applying fertilizer inputs on an unimproved natural pasture is limited in tropical grasslands. A study was conducted to evaluate the response of degraded natural pasturelands in terms of species composition, forage yield, and quality to the application of different types of fertilizer.

Brachiaria mutica dyes powder for textile application: dyeing quality of cotton fabrics

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract To minimise water pollution as well as to improve the economic value of some unutilised natural resources, application of natural dyes have been widely encouraged this past decade. Natural dyes considered to be effective in minimising the use of chemical agents which in turn overcome pollution problems. Despite the advantages of

Gender dynamics around introduction of improved forages in Kenya and Ethiopia

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 277-295, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract Improved forages of genus Brachiaria and Panicum grasses were introduced to men and women farmers in western Kenya and southern Ethiopia. To provide an understanding of the social and demographic characteristics of farming systems, a household survey was implemented in 2018/2019.
