Effects of integrated soil fertility management interventions on the abundance and diversity of soil collembola in Embu and Taita Districts, Kenya
(2011)
The study aimed at identifying soil fertility management practices that promote the Collembola population, diversity and survival in the soil. Soil samples were randomly collected from on farm plots amended with: 1-Mavuno ...

Pre-selection of markers for genomic selection.
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
BACKGROUND:
Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values (GEBVs) requires numerous markers. However, predictive accuracy can be enhanced by excluding markers with no effects or with inconsistent effects among crosses ...
Threshold change in forest understory vegetation as a result of selective fuelwood extraction in Nairobi, Kenya
(2011)
We examined whether heavy fuelwood collection can cause threshold change in understory forest community and evaluated how selective wood extraction might lead to delayed forest recovery in an urban forest of Nairobi, Kenya. ...

Management implications of the response of two tilapiine cichlids to long-term Changes in Lake level, allodiversity and exploitation in an equatorial lake
(2011)
The tilapiine cichlids Oreochromis leucostictus and Tilapia zillii were introduced into Lake Naivasha, Kenya, in 1956. Previous studies on data collected to 1987 revealed they were persistent following establishment, despite ...
