Daily meal frequency and its associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia: a Bayesian hierarchical Poisson model by Dejen Kahsay Asgedom, Ausman Ahmed Mohammed, Etsay Woldu Anbesu

“…In the Afar region (IRR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.615, 0.982), Somalia (AIRR = 0.83, 95% CrI: 0.682, 1.01), Benishangul (AIRR = 0.8, 95% CrI: 0.639, 0.994), Southern nation nationality and people’s region (SNNPR) (AIRR = 0.73, 95% CrI: 0.596, 0.894), and (AIRR = 0.73, 95% CrI: 0.572, 0.925) decrease the daily meal frequency by 33, 17, 20, 27 and 27%, respectively, compared with that of children from Tigray.Conclusion and recommendationThe rate of DMF was low in Ethiopia and exhibited a significant clustering pattern across the country. These findings stress the need for tailored interventions addressing regional inequities, promoting age-specific nutrition, supporting maternal education, and empowering working women to improve children’s nutritional intake and ensure more equitable access to meals across Ethiopia.…”

Combining detection dogs and camera traps improves minimally invasive population monitoring for the cheetah, an elusive and rare large carnivore by Stijn Verschueren, Tim Hofmann, Anne Schmidt‐Küntzel, Mikael Kakove, Benny Munyandi, Hans Bauer, Niko Balkenhol, Herwig Leirs, Stephan Neumann, Bogdan Cristescu, Laurie Marker

“…The minimum survey effort required to reliably detect cheetahs in each 256 km2 sampling unit was estimated to be 45 km or 10 h of walking, 123 km or 5 h of driving or 150 nights of camera trapping. Practical implications. We showed that complementing detection dog surveys with camera trapping can comprehensively and efficiently inform occurrence patterns for an exceptionally wide‐ranging terrestrial carnivore. …”
