Nairobi National Park (NNP) is unable to incorporate the spatial and temporal dynamics of many migratory mammals that rely on the area as a dry season refuge because of its small size. During the wet season, wildlife must be able to migrate to the south into the Kitengela dispersal area. This are...

Trypanosomiasis diseases are caused by single-cell organisms and affect both humans and cattle. This indicative study modelled the effect of climate change and population growth on the future range of tsetse flies, their main vector, in sub- Saharan Africa. Projected climate change to 2030 has a ...

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) conducts research on strategic issues that constrain livestock productivity of resource-poor households, with a focus as smallholder crop-livestock systems. The institute conducts research in the areas of ruminant genetics, ruminant health, fe...

Many pastoral ecosystems around the globe are under pressure to produce more livestock or to make way for more intensive agricultural systems or new uses (Blench 2000). Some rangelands that used to be managed under communal land tenure are being privatized, with establishment of individual holdin...

There is mounting concern about declines in wildlife populations in many protected areas in Africa. Migratory ungulates are especially vulnerable to impacts of changing land use outside protected areas on their abundance. Range compression may compromise the capacity of migrants to cope with clim...

1. Rainfall is the prime climatic factor underpinning the dynamics of African savanna ungulates,but no study has analysed its influence on the abundance of these ungulates at monthly to multiannual time scales. 2. We report relationships between rainfall and changes in age- and sex-structured ...

All eastern Africa is in the tropics, but its grasslands cover a very wide range of altitudes. Extensive grasslands are mostly in arid and semi -arid zones. The area is subject to droughts and a high degree of pastoral risk. Potential vegetation is largely desert and semi-desert, bush and woodlan...
