The conversion of natural habitats to farmland is a major cause of biodiversity loss and poses the greatest extinction risk to birds worldwide. Tropical raptors are of particular concern, being relatively slow-breeding apex predators and scavengers, whos
aWhen we compare with the countries in its region, we find that measured by the number of malnourished children under 5, is doing slightly better than the surrounding countries but significantly better than those of Northern Africa. Please look at the map on the screen [translate] ...
the naming of the low-status bird that provides an annual image of bounty was rarely granted insider status, and rarely mapped correctly—but was long labeled a foreigner, in European languages: as English linked it obstinately with a Turkish provenance, confusing it with the African guinea-fowl...

This work was undertaken as part of the Myanmar Agricultural Policy Support Activity (MAPSA, grant number MTO No. 069033) led by the International Food Policy Research Institute in partnership with Michigan State University. This work was supported by the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institut...
(n = 1,484). For some species, specifically DD species, distribution data was too uncertain to allow mapping. To visualise the distribution pattern of our Sampled List, we selected only those parts of a species’ distribution map where the species was considered extant or probably extant,...
As the first African-American President of the United States, Obama has a very different profile from our recent Presidents — he is young, handsome and athletic, and animated when he speaks. The Jorg Gray JG6500 “Secret Service” chronograph suits President Obama well, and that’s why so ...
The usual practice is to verify the balance test results and the effect map of propensity value distribution. Two kinds of test results are listed in this paper; Table 2 shows the balance test results of propensity score matching, and Figure 1 shows the kernel density distribution map of ...
In the regression analysis in Equation (3), we can explain the linear relationship between the extracted factors and the QOL scores using the correlation heat map shown in Figure 14. If the color of the extracted attribute is more intensive in the blue tone, the linear relationship is more ...
The event kicked off with a keynote address where every attendee was given an African drum and encouraged to take part in an impromptu recital. Being in a crowd of 6,500 people drumming out rhythms was quite an experience! Leading on from this extravaganza, attendees heard details about the...
