Ancient and modern DNA reveal dynamics of domestication and cross-continental dispersal of the dromedary
Dromedaries have been fundamental to the development of human societies in arid landscapes and for long-distance trade across hostile hot terrains for 3,000 y. Today they continue to be an important livestock resource in ...
Modelling the impact of soil and water conservation structures at various scales in Tunisian semi-arid region
In central-northern Tunisia, a combination of dryness, erratic rainfalls, and the undulating terrain create an erosion-prone environment. Soil and water conservation (SWC) measures have been widely applied to reduce the ...
Crop Yields under Climate Variability and No-Tillage System in Dry Areas of Morocco
In Morocco, the intensive use of agricultural land coupled with irregular precipitation is a serious threat to the country’s food security. Conservation agriculture especially no-tillage (NT) system has shown an important ...
Genome-wide analysis identified candidate variants and genes associated with heat stress adaptation in Egyptian sheep breeds
Heat stress caused by climatic changes is one of the most significant stresses on livestock in hot and dry areas. It has particularly adverse effects on the ability of the breed to maintain homeothermy. Developing countries ...
