Rapid urbanization and climate change effects may cause dramatic changes in ecosystem functions cities, thereby inevitably affecting the growth performance of old trees. Few studies have explored species diversity spatial differentiation Benin urban areas. This study aims to explore this dimension ecology order build resilience city Cotonou. Its objective was determine predominant level tree ci...

Abstract Synthetic chemicals continue to play an important role in reducing storage losses attributable insect pest activities. However, the adverse effects associated with some patented make synthetic pesticides less attractive and have given drive search for alternative methods of control. This study evaluated a traditional gin, akpeteshie crude extracts made four timber species, neem ( Azadi...

Nigerian forest resources are constantly threatened due to many anthropogenic activities and considering their importance in recycling oxygen, preventing erosion, biodiversity habitats etc. This study was carried out determine the diversity population status of trees. A 50km2 plot studied using line transect method, Point Centered Quartet technique deployed enumerate standing tree biomass. Tota...

Kurthia senegalensis strain JC8E(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of K. senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Kurthia. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. K. senegalensis is an aerobic rod. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 2,975,103 bp long...

Growth, energy content, ingestion and respiration rates and energetic efficiencies were measured in the larvae of two marine fish (Solea senegalensis and Sparus aurata) whose eggs have a similar diameter (approximately 1mm) and energy content (approximately 1J), but whose larvae reach a quite different mass after the first month of life. Experiments were carried out in populations reared under ...

Alistipes senegalensis strain JC50(T) is the type strain of A. senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the Alistipes genus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of an asymptomatic patient. A. senegalensis is an anaerobic Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and...

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major clinical problem where natural compounds hold promise for its abrogation. Khaya grandifoliola (Meliaceae) is used in Cameroonian traditional medicine for the treatment of liver related diseases and has been studied for its hepatoprotective properties. Till date, reports showing the hepatoprotective molecular mechanism of the plant are lacking. The aim...
