Conservation of vertebrates and plants in Uganda: Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas and other sites of national importance
(Conservation Science and Practice, 2019)
Uganda is one of the most species rich countries in Africa because of the presence
of several major biomes. However, it is also a country that has lost much of its natural
habitat to agriculture. Uganda is a country that ...
Complex population structure in African village dogs and its implications for inferring dog domestication history
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
High genetic diversity of East Asian village dogs has recently been
used to argue for an East Asian origin of the domestic dog. However,
global village dog genetic diversity and the extent to which semiferal
village ...
Oligocene and Early Miocene Ruminants (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from Pakistan and Uganda
(Palaeontologia Electronica, 2005)
Late Oligocene and Early Miocene fossil ruminants from Napak and Moroto in
Uganda and the Zinda Pir sequence in Pakistan comprise at least eight taxa, including
an indeterminate lophiomerycid, ?Gelocus gajensis, Walangania ...
A Hominoid Genus from the Early Miocene of Uganda
(Reports, 1997)
Fossils from a large-bodied hominoid from early Miocene sediments of Uganda, along
with material recovered in the 1960s, show features of the shoulder and vertebral column
that are significantly similar to those of living ...
Subgenomic flavivirus RNA (sfRNA) associated with Asian lineage Zika virus identified in three species of Ugandan bats (family Pteropodidae)
(Scientific reports, 2021)
Serological cross-reactivity among flaviviruses makes determining the prior arbovirus exposure of
animals challenging in areas where multiple flavivirus strains are circulating. We hypothesized that
prior infection with ...
Students and Scientists Connect with Nature in Uganda, East Africa
(International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2014)
We studied the impact of environmental education (EE) workshops on Ugandan youth’s (N = 84) perceptions of their relationship with nature, self efficacy, and civic attitudes and skills. Two nature-related measures and two ...
The biodiversity of the Albertine Rift
(Biological conservation, 2007)
The Albertine Rift is one of the most important regions for conservation in Africa. It contains
more vertebrate species than any other region on the continent and contains more
endemic species of vertebrate than any other ...
Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2018
(Archives of virology, 2018)
In 2018, the order Mononegavirales was expanded by inclusion of 1 new genus and 12 novel species. This article presents the
updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on ...
Kanyawara Virus: A Novel Rhabdovirus Infecting Newly Discovered Nycteribiid Bat Flies Infesting Previously Unknown Pteropodid Bats in Uganda
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Bats are natural reservoir hosts of highly virulent pathogens such as Marburg virus, Nipah virus, and
SARS coronavirus. However, little is known about the role of bat ectoparasites in transmitting and
maintaining such ...
A New Lorisid Humerus from the Early Miocene of Uganda
(Primates, 1997)
An early Miocene (18-20 mya) distal humerus from Napak, Uganda, is the only
element of the forelimb to be allocated to African Lorisinae. Its loris-like features distinguish it from
other East African material that more ...
