Colonization and adaptation of predacious mites. Ph.D. Ain Shams Univ., Cairo, 134 pp
(Democratization and Research Centre, RomeSchool of Biological Sciences, 2011)We surveyed the phytoseid mites in four different geographical zones of Kenya: Zone I, upper highland and tropical alpine (2400-4400m): Zone II, lower highland (1800-2400m); zone III, midland (800-1800m); Zone IV, tropical, ... -

Tropical freshwater ecotones: their formation, functions and use
(Khuwer Academic Publishers.Fisheries Resources Research Institute,, 2001)Tropical water-terrestrial ecotones play important roles in regulating the flow of materials from and to land and water ecosystems. Ecotones exist where active interactions between two or more adjacent ecosystems occur ... -

The significance of groundwater flow for the hydrologic budgets of paleo-lakes in the East African rift
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi,Universite Joseph Fourier LGIT,, 2011)The hydrogeology of rift lakes is complex due to the potential influence of faults and porous volcanic and volcanoclastic media on groundwater flow. We conducted a comprehensive study that integrated geological and ... -
Partition Geochemistry of Sediments From the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ), equitorial Atlantic
(Faculty of Science, University of Nairobi, 1996)A total of 62 sediment samples from 24 gravity and box cores obtained from an equal number of stations in and around the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) in the Equatorial Atlantic have been subjected to partition chemical ... -
Sensitivity of global river discharges under Holocene and future climate conditions
(Faculty of Science, University of Nairobi, 2006)A comparative analysis of global river basins shows that some river discharges are more sensitive to future climate change for the coming century than to natural cliniate variability over the last 9000 years. In these ... -
Geochemistry of Ferromanganese Oxide crust from the Romanche Fracture Zone, Equatorial Atlantic
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi,, 1990)Ferromanganese oxide crusts from the Rornanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) in the equatorial Atlantic have been studied by chemical, mineralogical and radiochemical techniques in order to determine their nature and the factors ... -
Factors driving land use change: Effects on ecosystems services and human wellbeing in Lake Victoria basin
(Panafrican START Secretariat (PASS). Department f Geology. University of Nairobi.Department of Agricultural Education and Extension. Egerton University., 2009)To offer an increased understanding of the spatial patterns, temporal, social and physical predictors of the conversion and transformations of land use and land cover in Lake Victoria basin, an assessment of proximate ... -
Genetic diversity of the African wild rice (Oryza longistaminata Chev. et Roehr) from Ethiopia as revealed by SSR markers
(2013)Data from microsatellite markers have been extensively used for both in situ and ex situ conservation strategies by determining the level of genetic diversity of natural populations that can widen the gene pool of cultivated ... -
Pathogen infection and selection on fertilization success in Cucumis sativus
(2006)We investigated whether resistant pollen genotypes can be selected for when the maternal plants are infected and whether infection can result to changes in the pistil nutrient level influencing reproductive outcome. Both ... -
The breeding cycle of Scylla serrata (Forskal, 1755) at Ramisi River estuary, Kenya
(2002)The mud crab Scylla serrata was collected from Ramisi river estuaryfor a period of 14 months (January 1990–February 1991) using madema traps. For each crab, the carapace width (mm), sex and weightwere noted, and the number ... -
