Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...

Landmines and Spatial Development

open access: yesEconometrica, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 1739-1778, September 2025.
Landmines affect the lives of millions in many conflict‐ridden communities long after the end of hostilities. However, there is little research on the role of demining. We examine the economic consequences of landmine removal in Mozambique, the only country to transition from heavily contaminated in 1992 to mine‐free in 2015. First, we present the self‐

Predictors of Baboon Sleep Site Selection in Gorongosa National Park

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This research aimed to understand how sleep site selection compared to other study sites in baboons living in a low‐predator density, highly seasonal environment. We compared baboon troops in two distinct habitat types with different seasonal influences within the park, one that flooded annually and one that did not.

Characterizing the Central Structure of a Mesoscale Eddy‐Ring Dipole in the Mozambique Channel From In Situ Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract During the RESILIENCE cruise aboard the R/V Marion Dufresne II (April 19–24 May 2022), a high‐resolution in situ observation campaign investigated a mesoscale dipole in the Mozambique Channel, composed of a large anticyclonic ring and a cyclonic eddy.

Firm profitability and forced wage labour in Portuguese Africa: Evidence from the Sena Sugar Estates, 1920–74

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 30-61, February 2025.
Abstract Forced wage labour (FWL) in colonial‐era Portuguese Africa came to encompass a majority of working age men and persisted until the early 1960s. On the basis of reconstructed financial records from the Sena Sugar Estates in today's Mozambique, we estimate the long‐run profitability of the firm.

The impact of energy prices on inflation and economic growth in Mozambique: A wavelet approach and OLS estimator

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Economics, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 354-385, September 2024.
Abstract The paper is using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and the OLS estimator to examine the relationship between energy prices (coal and gas), inflation and economic growth in Mozambique. Coal and gas are the primary commodity and source of revenue for the country. The research uses quarterly data from 2001 to 2022.

Testing for concordance between predicted species richness, past prioritization, and marine protected area designations in the western Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Scientific advances in environmental data coverage and machine learning algorithms have improved the ability to make large‐scale predictions where data are missing. These advances allowed us to develop a spatially resolved proxy for predicting numbers of tropical nearshore marine taxa.
