Successful control of tsetse (Glossina spp.)-transmitted trypanosomiasis in the Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia, appears to have accelerated conversion of wooded grassland into cropland. Land conversion, in turn, may have fragmented wildlife habitat. The objective of this paper was to assess the influence...

Effects of land-use and tsetse fly control on bird species richness in southwestern Ethiopia
The response of bird communities to a gradient of agricultural intensity was investigated in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Such knowledge may aid in predicting how avian diversity copes with increased human population density and land-use. A total of 34 transects were established on which bird cen...

Intensified agricultural land-use and bird conservation in Burkina Faso
In southwestern Ethiopia, recent chaotic events, changes in land tenure and introduction of tsetse fly [Glossina tachinoides] control have precipitated changes in the use of land and other natural resources. In turn, these changes have initiated shifts in rangeland biodiversity. Unexpectedly, sma...
