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…

Climate change impact on the distribution and priority areas for conservation of Sterculia setigera Delile in Benin, West Africa
Trees, Forests and People
Climate change poses a major threat to species distribution and habitat loss, while also contributing to biodiversity decrease. Understanding these effects along climatic gradients is crucial for guiding conservation and mitigating declines. In this context, this study aims to assess the impact of c…

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…

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…
