ABSTRACT In West Africa, trees and shrubs are important for feeding ruminant livestock during the dry season. This study aimed to determine the in vitro digestibility of organic matter from eight woody species using a gas test with and without the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and evaluate their preference by sheep using a cafeteria test ...

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Abstract Carbon crediting mechanisms can deliver cost‐effective climate mitigation but risk ‘problem‐shifting’ by worsening environmental harms such as biodiversity loss and water pollution. This article assesses whether the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) is better equipped than the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to prevent such trade ...
