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 ...
Trends and variability in African long-term precipitation
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2018)
African precipitation trends are commonly analyzed using short-term data observed over small areas. This study analyzed
changes in long-term (1901–2015) annual and seasonal precipitation of high spatial (0.5 9 0.5 grid) ...
Evidence for rapid faunal change in the early Miocene of East Africa based on revised biostratigraphic and radiometric dating of Bukwa, Uganda
(Journal of Human Evolution, 2018)
Field expeditions to Bukwa in the late 1960s and early 1970s established that the
site had a small but diverse early Miocene fauna, including the catarrhine primate
Limnopithecus legetet. Initial potassium-argon radiometric ...
Human and environmental exposure to PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in Africa: A review
(Chemosphere, 2019)
This paper reviews literature for the last two decades with emphasis on levels, toxic equivalencies and
sources of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated
biphenyls ...
Taking advantage of genomic data to develop reliable microsatellite loci in Trypanosoma brucei
(Molecular Ecology Resources, 2013)
Taking advantage of the annotated genome of Trypanosoma brucei, a unicellular eukaryotic
parasite which causes sleeping sickness across sub3Saharan Africa, this study develops 11
variable microsatellite loci, which ...
The centrality of water resources to the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). A review of potentials and constraints on the African continent
(International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2016)
Africa is endowed with vast water resources including but not limited to lakes, rivers, swamps and
underground aquifers. However, the way of life in Africa does not reflect this kind of wealth owing
majorly to degradation ...
Double jeopardy: bark harvest for malaria treatment and poor regeneration threaten tree population in a tropical forest of Uganda
(African Journal of Ecology, 2015)
Several forest plants known to supply medicine are under
pressure worldwide. We carried out a study of four tree
species (Warburgia ugandensis Sprague, Fleroya rubrostipulata
(K.Schum.) Y.F.Deng, Syzygium guineense DC. ...
