Biodiversity Conservation, Ecosystem Functioning, and Economic Incentives under Cocoa Agroforestry Intensification
TL;DR: It is suggested that improving the income and livelihood of smallholder cocoa farmers will require economic incentives to discourage further intensification and ecologically detrimental loss of shade cover, and that Certification programs for shade-grown cocoa may provide socioeconomic incentives to slow intensification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work critically review and synthesize African climate, tectonics and terrestrial biodiversity evolution throughout the Cenozoic to the mid‐Pleistocene, drawing on recent advances in Earth and life sciences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Three Mitochondrial Genes (16S, Cytb, CO1) for Identifying Species in the Praomyini Tribe (Rodentia: Muridae)
Violaine Nicolas,Brigitte Schaeffer,Alain Didier Missoup,Alain Didier Missoup,Jan Kennis,Marc Colyn,Christiane Denys,Caroline Tatard,Corinne Cruaud,Catherine Laredo +9 more
TL;DR: Using DNA markers for identifying species in the Praomyini tribe is a largely valid approach, and the CO1 and Cytb genes are better DNA markers than the 16S gene, which confirms the usefulness of statistical methods such as the Random Forest and the 1-NN methods to assign a sequence to a species, even when the number of species is relatively large.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shade tree diversity, cocoa pest damage, yield compensating inputs and farmers' net returns in West Africa.
TL;DR: It is found that number of spider webs and wasp nests significantly decreased with increasing density of exotic shade tree species, showing the importance of a diverse shade canopy in reducing damage caused by cocoa pests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeographic structure and regional history of Lemniscomys striatus (Rodentia: Muridae) in tropical Africa
Violaine Nicolas,Jean-François Mboumba,Erik Verheyen,Christiane Denys,Emilie Lecompte,Ayodeji Olayemi,Alain Didier Missoup,Pionus Katuala,Marc Colyn +8 more
TL;DR: The relative roles of ecological change, habitat patchiness, rivers and geological barriers in structuring patterns of diversity are evaluated to elucidate the phylogeography of the murid rodent Lemniscomys striatus.
