The Role of Host Demographic and Environmental Factors in Gastrointestinal Parasites in Rothschild's Giraffe Populations in Kenya- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-05-28T12:52:05Z

ABSTRACT The giraffe (Giraffa spp.) is an iconic mega-herbivore native to sub-Saharan Africa. Historically, its range cuts across 22 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Since the 1990s, giraffe populations in Kenya have declined by approximately 25%–30%, dropping from an estimated 155,000 individuals to around 90,000 individuals by 2020. The primary drivers of this declining trend are habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, civil unrest, disease and climate change. Rothschild's giraffes (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo

Impacts of Climatic Variables and Anthropogenic Disturbances on the Dynamics of Net Primary Productivity in the Ecosystems of Togo's Protected Areas- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-05-26T12:37:41Z

ABSTRACT Protected areas (PAs) in Togo play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation: however, in recent decades, they have been increasingly affected by climate change and anthropogenic pressures. This study analyses the spatiotemporal trends of net primary productivity (NPP) between 1984 and 2021. Validated 30 m land-cover maps for the Sahel–Sudano-Guinean region of Africa was used to derive NPP values for different land-cover units through spatial intersection with NPP maps using (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo
