Interspecific Competition and Grain-Hosts Selection of Maize Weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.) (Coleoptera; Dryophtoridae) and Larger Grain Borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera; Bostrichidae)
Laboratory interspecific competition and grain-hosts selection experiments involving maize weevil (MW), Sitophilus zeamais (Motsch.) and larger grain borer (LGB), Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) were performed under ambient temperature and relative humidity (25˚C - 35˚C and 70% - 80% relative humidity) in their major host cereal, maize grains. -
Urban Green Spaces Enhance Climate Change Mitigation in Cities of the Global South: The Case of Kumasi, Ghana
Urban green spaces (UGS) contribute to mitigate climate change impacts via carbon sequestration and offer several co-benefits in cities. -
In vitro and in silico studies of the antifungal properties of the bulb and leaves extracts of Drimia delagoensis Baker (Jessop)
Drimia delagoensis (D. delagoensis), a member of the Hyacinthaceae family, is commonly used for the treatment of heartwater and skin ailments by the Zulus in South Africa. -

Forest biomass, productivity and carbon cycling along a rainfall gradient in West Africa
Net primary productivity (NPP) is one of the most important parameters in describing the functioning of any ecosystem and yet it arguably remains a poorly quantified and understood component of carbon cycling in tropical forests, especially outside of the Americas. We provide the first comprehensive analysis of NPP and its carbon allocation to woody, canopy and root growth components at contrasting lowland West African forests spanning a rainfall gradient. -

Elimination within reach: A cross-sectional study highlighting the factors that contribute to persistent lymphatic filariasis in eight communities in rural Ghana
Background Despite the progress achieved in scaling-up mass drug administration (MDA) for lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Ghana, communities with persistent LF still exist even after 10 years of community treatment. -
Integrated water resources management in Ghana Past, present, and the future
This dissertation presents the development of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in Ghana. It presents realistic experiences of the opportunities and constraints to the implementation of IWRM.
