Determinants of adoption and intensity of use of balanced nutrient management systems technologies in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria [PDF]
As part of a major effort to address soil fertility decline in West Africa, a project on Balanced Nutrient Management Systems (BNMS) has since 2000 been implemented in the northern Guinea savanna (NGS) of Nigeria.

Importance of woody patches and vegetation heterogeneity in Texas tortoise microhabitat use
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Microhabitat sites provide important resources and thermal conditions to reptile species that can vary spatially and temporally. This study assessed Texas tortoise Gopherus berlandieri microhabitat use and its relationship with carapace temperature during their active (April–October) and inactive seasons (November–March) between January 2023 and ...

Changes in Beliefs and Perceptions about the Natural Environment in the Forest-Savanna Transitional Zone of Ghana: The Influence of Religion [PDF]
The potential of traditional natural resources management for biodiversity conservation and the improvement of sustainable rural livelihoods is no longer in doubt. In sub-Saharan Africa, extensive habitat destruction, degradation, and severe depletion of

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.In fenced protected areas where large carnivore populations persist or have been restored through reintroduction, population monitoring is essential to inform management. Robust density estimates are particularly important given the strong influence of large carnivores on ecosystem processes, yet such data remain scarce for arid systems where ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Daily activity budgets reflect how animals balance internal physiological demands with external environmental pressures. We analyzed 14 037 camera‐trap records from 12 mammal species in the Venezuelan Llanos to evaluate the effects of foraging strategy (faunivore versus herbivore), season, and body mass on daily activity duration, to describe diel ...
