Understanding the relationship between environmental energy availability and bird species richness in Kenya using remote sensing and ancillary data
(2008-12-05)
The energy hypothesis predicts that, in regions of roughly equal area, energy flux per unit of area should be the
prime determinant of species richness. In the case of plants, primary production represents realized energy ...
Body size and abundance relationship: an index of diversity for herbivores
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-11-01)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon (order, class, phylum, etc.) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence small-bodied species are generally more abundant than ...
Spatial patterns of species diversity in Kenya
(2001)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon
(order, class, phylum, etc) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence smallbodied species are generally more abundant than ...
Environmental factors influencing bird species diversity in Kenya
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001-09)
Sustainable resource management requires understanding the factors that increase or decrease species richness. Regional species richness patterns may be predicted by analysing patterns of variation in the environment. A ...
Mapping habitat and biological diversity in the Maasai Mara ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2003-01-01)
There is need to identify ecosystems that support richer assemblages of biological species in order to preserve habitats and protect the greatest number of species. Remotely sensed data hold tremendous potential for mapping ...
Biodiversity assessment by remote sensing
(2003-11-10)
Measuring the complexity of species in (semi)
natural environments is time consuming and expensive. In
this paper we summarise remote sensing techniques developed
for mapping and monitoring biodiversity of herbivores ...
National Health Laboratory Services in Kenya: challenges for the new millennium
(East African medical journal, 2001-07)
I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to the Kenya Association of Clinical Pathologists for inviting me to this meeting and for making it possible for me to share this momentous occasion with friends and colleagues ...
Prevalence of Dating Violence among Students in Technical Institutions in Nyanza Province, Kenya
(University Of Nairobi, 2003)
Dating violence which includes psychological, physical and sexual violence contributes to long term psychological and physical consequences such as low self esteem, poor task performance and low academic achievement on ...
Same but different: head teachers′ perceptions of leadership in Kenya and Sweden
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-11-01)
This article compares Kenyan and Swedish head teachers’ views on leadership. Data were collected by 20 interviews in each country and analysed to generate descriptive categories, themes and conceptual ideas. In order to ...
Objectives and actual HIV and AIDS education programme delivery and behavioral changes among Kenyan secondary school students
(Academic Journals, 2009-04-30)
Although there seems to be a high level of awareness of the HIV and AIDS menace among the youth, their behavior does not reflect this level of awareness. There seems to be a mismatch between HIV and AIDS Programme objectives ...
