Life at the top: rank and stress in wild male baboons
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, 2011)In social hierarchies, dominant individuals experience reproductive and health benefits, but the costs of social dominance remain a topic of debate.

The life cycle of Fasciola gigantica Cobbold, 1856. II. Redial generations
(University of Nairobi, 1974)Experimental infection of Lymnaea natalensis with Fasciola gigantica miracidia revealed the absence of a sporocyst in the life-cycle and the presence of 4 generations of rediae and 2 of cercariae. The first generation of ... -
Life history context of reproductive aging in a wild primate model
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, 2010)The pace of reproductive aging has been of considerable interest, especially in regard to the long postreproductive period in modern women. Here we use data for both sexes from a 37-year longitudinal study of a wild baboon ... -
Life history traits of an equatorial common carp Cyprinus carpio population in relation to thermal influences on invasive populations

Light availability within an innovative maize-legume intercropping system in Western Kenya
(2003)An experiment was conducted in western Kenya to characterize the penetration of solar radiation into the canopy of different maize-bean intercropping systems. The conventional system consisted of alternating 37.5 cm rows ... -
Light microscopic morphometry of the kidneys of fourteen avian species.
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 1989-02)Kidney volume and the volume proportions of the cortex, medulla, blood vessels larger than capillaries and ureter and ureteral ducts were investigated in 61 birds from 14 species representing passeriformes, psittaciformes, ... -
Light microscopic morphometry of the lung of 19 avian species.
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1982)The lungs of 107 birds of 19 different species from seven orders were fixed in situ. The mean volumes of both fixed lungs together ranged from 0.15 to 95.31 cm3. Histological sections of one lung from each bird were analyzed ... -
Lime-Aluminium- Phosphorus interactions in acid soils of the Kenya highlands
(University of Nairobi, 2015-08-14)Liming and phosphorus (P) applications are common practices for improving crop production in acid soils of the tropics. Although considerable work has been done to establish liming rates for acid soils in many parts of the ... -
Limitations of intrauterine balloon catheters for ova collection in sheep
(University of NairobiCollege of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, 1983-08)Attempts were made to collect ova from superovulated ewes by surgically fitting a balloon catheter in each uterine lumen either during the luteal phase or follicular phase of their oestrous cycle. A total of six ovulations ... -
