Influence of Climatic and Soil Factors on the Spatial Distribution of Chrysophyllum albidum (Sapotaceae) in Benin
Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology
Chrysophyllum albidum is one of the plant species widely used by the local populations of West Africa. With the aim of contributing to the conservation of this specy threatened with extinction in Benin, the present study aims to determine the impact of climatic and pedological disturbances on its ph…

The Latitudinal Biotic Interaction Hypothesis revisited: contrasting latitudinal richness gradients in actively vs. passively accumulated interaction …
BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Contrasting hypotheses suggest that the number of biotic interactions per species could either increase towards the equator due to the increasing richness of potential interaction partners (Neutral theory), or decrease in the tropics due to increased biotic competition (Latitudinal Biotic…

Climate change-induced shifts in the ecological niches of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) and Vitellaria paradoxa CF Gaertn, two species of agroforestry park…
Trees, Forests and People
Understanding the effects of climate change on species distribution patterns is fundamental to biogeography and evolutionary ecology, especiallyfor socio-economically important agroforestry species such as Parkia biglobosa R.Br. ex Benth and Vitellaria paradoxa CF Gaertn. However, gaps remain regard…

Integrating phenotypic and genetic diversity, and species distribution modeling to set long-term conservation strategies for the endangered Afzelia af…
Trees, Forests and People
Afzelia africana is one of the most threatened multipurpose species in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding its potentially suitable habitats, coupled with its phenotypic and genetic diversity is valuable for establishing sustainable and efficient conservation strategies for the species. This study com…

Climate change may shift diet of the African savanna elephant: Preliminary results for 14 food tree and shrub species in the WAPOK transboundary ecosy…
Global Ecology and Conservation
Climate change through an increase in temperature and a reduction of rainfall constitutes a serious threat to the African savannah elephants Loxodonta africana Cuvier. Climate change can directly shrink suitable habitats of the main food resources of elephants; hence reducing their food availability…

Potential Geographic Distributions of Ceiba Pentandra Under Current and Future Climate Conditions in Benin, West Africa
World Journal of Forest Research
The 21st century is marked by growing losses of biodiversity particularly in tropical regions. These losses result not only from direct anthropogenic effects but also from climate change; research must therefore consider impacts of climate change on future potential distributions of species. Ceiba p…
