Lipid composition and antioxidant activities of some underused wild plants seeds from Burundi
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 111-122, January 2021., 2021 This study showed 14 species of wild plants that can provide oils with a wide variety of chemical compositions. They have been characterized by high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids while they exhibit several positive health effects. These results suggest the important utility in various domain such as energy, cosmetics and especially the ...

Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 651-663, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Lianas are poorly characterized for central African forests. We quantify variation in liana composition, diversity and community structure in different forest types in the Yangambi Man and Biosphere Reserve, Democratic Republic of Congo. These attributes of liana assemblages were examined in 12 1‐ha plots, randomly demarcated within regrowth ...

Pest categorisation of Spodoptera eridania
EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Spodoptera eridania (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) for the European Union (EU). S. eridania (southern armyworm) is a highly polyphagous pest native to the Americas which has spread to Africa being first reported there in 2016. There are multiple generations per year.

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 We evaluate the impact of very small and isolated forest fragments on the common marmosets home range, diet, and activity patterns, in the northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Three groups were studied in three forest fragments, from January to October 2010, totaling 360 hours of observations and 1,080 field‐hours.

Relationships between Plant Biodiversity and Soil Fertility in a Mature Tropical Forest, Costa Rica
International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 We aimed to study relationships between plant biodiversity and soil chemical fertility in a mature tropical forest of Costa Rica. Soil samples were collected in nine sampling plots (5 m by 25 m) in order to identify P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Al and total N contents, soil fertility index, CEC, pH, and C/N ratio.
