TL;DR: It is concluded that these alternative host plants provide a potential source of stem-borer infestation on sugar-cane at Asutsuare in southern Ghana.
Abstract: Zea mays L. and Rottboellia exaltata L. were the main graminaceous plant species infested by Eldana saccharina Walker, the major pest of sugar-cane in southern Ghana. Other stem-borers of sugar-cane, Sesamia botanephaga Tams and Bowden, Sesamia penniseti Tams and Bowden, Sesamia calamistis Hampson and Chilo zacconius Bleszynski, were recorded on Zea mays, Echinocloa pyramidalis (Lamk.) et Chase, Rottboellia exaltata, Panicum maximum Jacquin and Oryza sativa L.All the stem-borer populations except E. saccharina on Rottboellia exaltata increased on their host plants. Sesamia and Chilo species were present from January to December on Echinocloa pyramidalis. It is concluded that these alternative host plants provide a potential source of stem-borer infestation on sugar-cane at Asutsuare in southern Ghana.

TL;DR: Survey data on one of the rarest turtles in the world, the Nubian flapshell turtle, Cyclanorbis elegans is presented on the basis of data coming from structured interviews with Bari fishermen of South Sudan and comparison of these data with those coming from field studies.
Abstract: We present survey data on one of the rarest turtles in the world, the Nubian flapshell turtle, Cyclanorbis elegans, on the basis of data coming from structured interviews with Bari fishermen of South Sudan and comparison of these data with those coming from our field studies. Our study documented that local ecological knowledge (LEK) data can be very useful to complement information on the natural history of rare and poorly known species and helpful to their conservation and management. We urge that any protected area focusing on C. elegans include a few of their communal nesting areas (as described by LEK) that should be carefully monitored to prevent collection of females or eggs during the reproductive period.
