Fish and coral assemblages of a highly isolated oceanic island: The first eDNA survey of the Ogasawara Islands

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
The Ogasawara Islands are a highly isolated Pacific archipelago, that boasts a unique biodiversity. We conducted the first multi‐taxa environmental DNA (eDNA) survey of ray‐finned and elasmobranch fishes, as well as of Scleractinia corals. We identified 124 fish and 38 coral taxa, confirmed that the islands host a rich variety of coral and fish fauna ...

Economic Impact of Chemical Pesticide Ban on Mealybug Management in Commercial Banana Farms in Cameroon Highlights the Need for Policy Initiatives on Sustainable Alternatives

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Banana (Musa spp.) production is source of food, income and foreign exchange, but banana mealybug (Pseudococcus elisae) infestation is a major production constraint that was only highlighted in 2007 following rejection of banana from Cameroon Development Cooperation (CDC) in international markets. Increased banana rejection with the ban on chlorpyrifos
