Morphological Traits as Indicators of Bitterness in Traditional Vegetables: The Case of Spider Plant (Gynandropsis gynandra) in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2019)Aims: The study set out to find the existence of variation in leaf bitterness of spider plant (Gynandropsis gynandra) in six (6) agro-ecological zones in Kenya and whether levels of leaf bitterness correlated with morphological ... -
Morphometric and developmental characteristics of fish landed by artisanal bait fishers at the Mida Creek, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015-02)Although artisanal commercial and net fishers landi ngs has received attention, the morphometrics of bait fisher landings is poorly documented. This is in spite of the importance of such data to infer fished stock growth ... -
Morphometric characteristics of the fibular incisura in adult Kenyans.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)To describe the morphometry of the fibular incisura in a sample Kenyan population, a total of 156 tibiae were obtained for the present study from the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi and the osteology ... -

Mortality of wildlife in Nairobi National Park, during the drought of 1973–1974
(University of Nairobi, 1977)(1) The mortality of wildlife in Nairobi National Park during the drought period of 1973/74 was monitored by monthly ground counts. (2) Highest mortality rate was recorded for kongoni at 27%, followed by wildebeest at 10% ... -
Mortality Projection: Curve Fitting And Linear Regression
(School of Mathematics, 2011)This study was aimed at predicting future mortality rates given two main scenarios. The first is in the case where there is a body of mortality tables from the past and the second is in the case where such a database ... -
Mosquito host preferences affect their response to synthetic and natural odour blends
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background The anthropophilic malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (hereafter termed Anopheles gambiae) primarily takes blood meals from humans, whereas its close sibling Anopheles arabiensis is more ... -
Mount elgon bat virus: A hitherto undescribed virus from Rhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens K. Anderson
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1969)A hitherto undescribed virus was isolated from salivary glands of a fruitbat of the speciesRhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens (K. Andersen). Some of its properties are discussed. Of the viruses, isolated from organs of ... -
Movement reveals reproductive tactics in male elephants
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Long-term bio-logging has the potential to reveal how movements, and hence life-history trade-offs, vary over a lifetime. Reproductive tactics in particular may vary as individuals' trade-off current investment versus ... -
Movements Of Airglow Structures Within The Intertropical Arc Observed From Southern Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1977)6300 Å airglow observations from Olorgesailie, Kenya (1.6°S, 36.4°E) show two types of movement within the southern intertropical red arc. The arc moves as a whole equatorwards at a rate of 3–4° per hour before local ... -
Moving cheaply: energetics of walking in the african elephant
(Institute of Animal Physiology and Biotechnology ResearchDepartment of Biology, Louisiana State UniversityDepartment of Biology, University of Ottawa, 1995)Large animals have a much better fuel economy than small ones, both when they rest and when they run. At rest, each gram of tissue of the largest land animal, the African elephant, consumes metabolic energy at 1/20 the ... -
