Effet du relief sur la variabilité de descripteurs des saisons des pluies en Afrique de l’Est.
2011
6 pages; International audience; Les variations spatiales des différents descripteurs des saisons des pluies tropicales (durée, fréquence et intensitédes pluies…) sont mal connues, notamment en régions accidentées. Elles ont pourtant une réelle incidence agroclimatique.Au Kenya, ces descripteurs sont fortement contraints par la géographie, y compris aux échelles fines. L’exemple du versantest du Mont Kenya montre une gamme de conditions agro-écologiques, sous l’influence du schéma général reliantl’augmentation des pluies avec l’altitude. L’altitude influence principalement la durée des deux saisons des pluies (Long etShort rains). La fréquence des jours de pluies est également modulée par l…
Economical running strategy for East African distance runners
2013
The superior success of East-African endurance runners has stimulated a large amount of interest in exploring valid reasons for their performance, especially for neuromuscular mechanics. This review provides a brief overview of classic neuromuscular interaction during running; and, thereafter, describes a specific neuromuscular interaction alternative to the classic stretch-shortening cycle concept for enhancing the running economy of East-African distance runners.
Biocultural conflicts: understanding complex interconnections between a traditional ceremony and threatened carnivores in north Kenya
2022
Abstract Biological and cultural diversity are inextricably linked and rapidly eroding worldwide. As a response, many conservation efforts foster synergies between cultural and biological diversity agendas through biocultural approaches. However, such approaches do not always address biocultural conflicts, where certain cultural practices can lead to biodiversity loss and, in turn, threaten the continuance of such practices. In this study, we examined a biocultural conflict in the Dimi ceremony, the most important rite of passage of the Daasanach agro-pastoralists of north Kenya, in which skins from threatened carnivore species are used extensively as traditional ornaments. We quantified th…
