African Heritage in a Changing Climate

Brooks, Nick; Clarke, Joanne; Ngaruiya, Grace Wambui; Wangui, Elizabeth Edna (Taylor & Francis, 2020)

Climate change is a real and present threat to heritage across the world. In Europe and North America, research on the impacts of climate change on heritage, including how to mitigate against more frequent extreme weather ...
Phylogenetic relationship and divergence among planktonic strains of Arthrospira (Oscillatoriales, Cyanobacteria) of African, Asian and American origin deduced by 16S–23S ITS and phycocyanin operon sequences

Kotut, Kiplagat; Dadheech, P. K.; Ballot, A.; Casper, P.; Novelo, E.; Lemma, B.; Pröschold, T.; Krienitz, L. (Phycologia, 2010-07)

Arthrospira comprises multicellular, cylindrical, usually screwlike coiled trichomes and is cultivated commercially. In this study, 33 new strains of Arthrospira isolated from plankton samples collected in Mexico, East ...
Phylogenetic studies uncover a predominantly African lineage in a widely distributed lichen-forming fungal species

Kirika, Paul M.; Divakar, Pradeep K.; Crespo, Ana; Mugambi, George; Orock, Elizabeth A.; Leavitt, Steven D.; Gatheri, Grace W.; Lumbsch, H. Thorsten (Pensoft Publishers, 2016)

A number of lichen-forming fungal species are widely distributed. Here, we investigate biogeographic patterns in a widely distributed isidiate taxon – Parmelinella wallichiana – using molecular sequence data. Our results ...
