Trees, soils, and warthogs - distribution of services and disservices from reforestation areas in southern Ethiopia
Numerous plants harbor viral sequences of known viruses in their genome albeit the integration in the host genome is not required in the life cycle of plant viruses. In banana, sequences of Banana streak virus (BSV) integrated within the B genome of banana plants as eBSV (endogenous BSV) spontane...

A logged forest in Borneo is better than none at all: correspondence
The forests of the Cameroon-Nigeria transboundary region have been highlighted as a high conservation priority, yet many of the extant forest remnants remain relatively unknown, particularly with regard to the occurrence of large mammals. Between 2002 and 2004 the authors surveyed the large mamma...

Although there has been increasing interest in trying to link the livelihoods of people living near natural resources, there has been little attempt to systematically assess or measure this linkage. A conceptual framework for defining the linkage between livelihood activities and conservation is ...
