Variation in the potential impacts of climate change on the baobab in Sub-Saharan Africa: A continental analysis across major climate zones
Global Ecology and Conservation
Baobab, Adansonia digitata L. is a widespread multipurpose savannah tree in Africa. Although previous studies highlighted the potential impacts of climate on the species, we still lack sufficient understanding of how regional variation in ecological tolerance might influence its future resilience ac…

Modelling current and future suitable cultivation areas of cashew trees in Benin (West Africa) based on the major parasite and its parasitoid distribu…
Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment
The cashew tree is an essential source of income in West African households, especially in Benin. However, it faces declining productivity due to parasites and climate change. The insect Oecophylla longinoda (Latreille) is commonly used to control the cashew pest Helopeltis schoutedeni Reuter.; howe…

Independent domestication and cultivation histories of two West African indigenous fonio millet crops
Nature Communications
Crop evolutionary history and domestication processes are key issues for better conservation and effective use of crop genetic diversity. Black and white fonio ( Digitaria iburua and D. exilis , respectively) are two small indigenous grain cereals grown in West Africa. The relationship between these…

Traditional uses and importance of Strychnos L. (Loganiaceae): A cross-cultural and spatial variation study in Benin
Trees, Forests and People
Strychnos spp. are multipurpose wild plants widely distributed across sub-Saharan countries. Their fruits, seeds, and stems are the most exploited parts, which exposes them to local extinction risk. Unfortunately, they have been scientifically neglected in Benin. To contribute to their valorization …

Stocking density, growth, and survival of Hoplobatrachus occipitalis froglets in captivity
Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability
Stocking density is one of the most important factors to consider when rearing anurans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of stocking density on the survival and growth of Hoplobatrachus occipitalis (Günther, 1858) froglets reared in captivity. The experiment was conducted in circula…

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…
