The wider use and improved performance of planted tropical forages can substantially change social, economic and environmental landscapes. By reviewing impact-related studies published in the past two decades, this paper shows how evolving development priorities have influenced the types of impac...

Global impacts from improved tropical forages: A meta-analysis revealing overlooked benefits and costs, evolving values and new priorities
Culture of shrimp, mainly Penaeus monodon, makes an important contribution to Bangladesh's aquaculture industry. Shrimp hatcheries are the foundation on which the shrimp industry is built. Hatchery performance and management therefore has extremely important implications for the long-term viabili...

Review of the history, status and prospects of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) hatchery sector in Bangladesh
A comparative study to assess length, weight, fecundity, hatching rate and White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) prevalence in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broods collected from shallow and deep water zones of the Bay of Bengal was carried out in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Average size and repro...

In situ field measurements as well as targeted laboratory studies have shown that freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs)
affect soil trace gas fluxes. However, most of past laboratory studies adjusted soil moisture before soil freezing, thereby neglecting that snow cover or water from melting snow may modify ...

A study on smallholder dairy development in the East African highlands. Looks into the production systems and development constraints and priorities. Discusses genetic factors, nutrition, disease, management, labour, marketing and pricing policies. Summarises research and development experiences.
Biophysical scientists are increasingly interested in undertaking research on natural resources management from a social science perspective. This, however, requires at least a basic understanding of the different social science approaches and the philosophical perspectives underlying them. We pr...

Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (genus Crinivirus) belongs to the family Closteroviridae, members of which have a conserved overall genomic organization but are variable in gene content. In the bipartite criniviruses, heterogeneity is pronounced in the 3'-proximal region of RNA1, which in swee...
