Chemical Properties Associated with Guts, Soil and Nest Materials of Odontotermes and Macrotermes Species from Kenya
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2010)
Changes in carbon and nitrogen cycles in tropical soils affect soil functioning and ecosystem activity. Termites play important roles in carbon and nitrogen cycles, thus determination of levels of such compounds is essential. ...
Early performance of five newly developed lines of Arabica Coffee under varying environment and spacing in Kenya
(2010)
Knowledge of the effects of environment and genotype by environment (GxE) interaction is important to breeders in making decisions regarding the release of new cultivars. Five Coffea arabica lines coded CR8, CR22, CR23, ...

Fluctuating algal food populations and the occurrence of lesser flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor) in three Kenyan rift valley lakes
(2010-06)
The last two decades have witnessed increasing episodes
of lesser flamingo die-offs in East Africa. Based
on data on phytoplankton composition, biomass, and
flamingo population density in three alkaline-saline
lakes ...
Diallel analysis of Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l.) varieties for important traits
(2010-08-04)
The breeding programmes of many crops use diallel analyses because of the genetic information they
offer to breeders. Six morphological and agronomic traits of Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were
studied to investigate ...
Effects of pea aphid secondary endosymbionts on aphid resistance and development of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi: a correlative study
(2010-05)
In order to reduce parasite-induced mortality, hosts may be involved in mutualistic interactions in
which the partner contributes to resistance against the parasite. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum
Harris (Hemiptera: ...
