Impacts of Bush Encroachment on Wildlife Species Diversity, Composition, and Habitat Preference in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya
(Hindawi International Journal of Ecology, 2017)
Savannah ecosystems are currently facing a biome shift that changes grasslands to woody dominated landscapes, attributable to habitat degradation. In Ol Pejeta Conservancy (OPC), Eucleadivinorum, an unpalatable and invasive ...
Challenges of elephant conservation: insights from oral histories of colonialism and landscape in Tsavo, Kenya
(American Geographical Society, 2017)
Understanding the reasons for conflict between elephants and people who live adjacent to conservation areas remains key to recruiting them as allies in preserving elephant populations. The Tsavo region of Kenya has become ...

Spatial scales influence long-term response of herbivores to prescribed burning in a savanna ecosystem
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2017-04)
Both wild and prescribed fire in savanna ecosystems influence habitat use by herbivores by creating or maintaining spatial and temporal heterogeneity in forage quality and vegetation cover. Yet little is known about how ...
Fire disturbance disrupts an acacia ant–plant mutualism in favor of a subordinate ant species
(EcologicalSocietyof America, 2017)
Although disturbance theory has been recognized as a useful framework in examining the stability of ant–plant mutualisms, very few studies have examined the effects of fire disturbance on these mutualisms. In myrmecophyt ...
Estimation of Above Ground Biomass in Forests Using Alos Palsar Data in Kericho and Aberdare Ranges
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)
Above Ground Biomass is one of the six pools identified in the inventory of forest resources and estimation of greenhouse gas emissions and sinks from the forestry sector. The pool varies by management practices in different ...
