Evolutionary determinants of reproductive seasonality: A theoretical approach by Burtschell, Lugdiwine, Dezeure, Jules, Huchard, Elise, Godelle, Bernard

“…Because seasonal cycles are increasingly disrupted by climate change, a better understanding of the ecology of reproductive seasonality could generate important insights on how climate change may affect biodiversity. The goal of this study was to investigate the drivers of evolutionary transitions towards reproductive seasonality using a realistic agent-based optimisation model simulating the life cycle of a female yellow baboon, who typically breeds year-round. …”

Historical and projected forest cover changes in the Mount Kenya Ecosystem: Implications for sustainable forest management by Brian Rotich, Abdalrahman Ahmed, Benjamin Kinyili, Harison Kipkulei

“…LULC projections for the year 2035 under the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario suggest continued expansion of cropland (+174.70 km2), built-up areas (+0.49 km2), and open forest (+471.72 km2), with declines in closed forest (−423.53 km2) and shrubland and grassland (−357.79 km2).These results highlight the ongoing pressures on the MKE's biodiversity and ecosystem services. The study's methods offer a replicable framework for assessing FCC in similar ecosystems to inform evidence-based conservation and land management policies.…”
