Invasive alien plants (IAPs) are non-native species that have spread beyond the
introduction site; become abundant to an extent that they serve as agents of change
that also threaten native biological diversity ...
The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade is a remarkable large-scale migration in the human history. On several occasions between the 16th and 19th century, millions of African men, women, and children were purchased from African ...
Recently, insect farming has gained recognition globally. This is particularly true for the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens. However, the byproduct of insect feeding, a combination of food residue and frass left by ...
The concept of taxonomic diversity has been widely used to investigate diversity patterns and the mechanism underlying community assembly. However, functional and trait diversity can further explain the factors driving ...
Genetic variability is a complex concept that is affected by many factors. Studying the genetic variability within the human population provides a better understanding of how populations evolve. The genetic variability ...
The world is old, full of diversity, and the history of all organisms that once lived on Earth is recorded in the DNA of its descendants. The genomes of living organisms contain ancestral information that, if analyzed, ...
Invertebrate diversity is often neglected in conservation planning initiatives. There are also very
few large-scale diversity studies in Africa, with most studies being restricted to single properties
and spatial extents ...
Ecosystem services and disservices are important features in agro-ecosystems and both can have relevant economic impacts on farmers. While there has been much research on the value of ecosystem services, especially that ...
The adverse ecological effects of landscape modification by humans are well known and continue to be studied. Habitat disturbances arising from such modifications result in various levels of biodiversity loss. Amongst ...
Water availability plays an important role in the habitat requirements of bats. Previous studies have shown that water bodies (both natural and artificial) are used by bats and other animals for drinking water and foraging. ...
Diabetes and arthritis are the most common chronic diseases. Arthritis is the leading cause
of global disability and diabetes has become a major health problem which is increasing
rapidly. The purpose of the study was ...
Species migration out of their local range into new zones by people has brought about the rise of biological invasions. Exotic or non-native species need to conquer various boundaries to establish, naturalize, produce ...
Non-communicable diseases have emerged as a serious public health concern around the world, with a high death rate. The study aim was to document and evaluate the biological activities of underutilized indigenous vegetables ...
The use of disturbance in the management of Savanna is a common rangeland practice in South Africa. A two-season trial was established in June 2016 and December 2016 to evaluate the effects of disturbance of different ...
The genus Oreochromis represents a radiation of mouth-breeding Tilapiine fish inhabiting lakes and rivers throughout Africa. Due to incomplete reproductive isolation, most of the 31 species within this radiation can ...
