State of Place and Endogenous Knowledge of Solanum Macrocarpon l. Grown in Burkina Faso
Kaboré Boukaré, Sawadogo Boureima, Nanema K.Romaric and Bationo/Kando Pauline
Solanum macrocarpon is a species native to Africa that is of considerable importance to the population both for their diet and their health needs. However, in Burkina Faso, it is little known and there is also little data on the extent of its cultivation, as well as its genetic diversity. The objective of this study is to contribute to a bette(...)

Quantitative Characteristics of the Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] Root System Under Water Constraints
Nana Rasmata, Badiel Badoua, Ouedraogo Hamed Mahamadi, Soubande Frédéric and Tamini Zoumbiessé
The depth and density of roots play a determining role in the maintenance of the water supply of the plant in a condition of water deficit in the soil. Under water deficit conditions, a root system developing deep in the soil is the most desired character. This study aims to determine adaptive performance of the okra root system under water st(...)

Inventory of bat (Scotophilus leucogaster, Cretzschmar 1826) ectoparasites of savannah area in Burkina Faso
Noel Gabiliga THIOMBIANO, Magloire BOUNGOU, Napoko Malika KANGOYE, Thérèse KAGONE, Amadou DICHO, Gustave B. KABRE
Scotophilus leucogaster (Cretzschmar 1826), is one of the most widespread insectivorous bats species in Burkina Faso. Despite its key role in the balance of the ecosystem, this species could be a host to a large number of ectoparasites, which can act as vectors for zoonotic agents. For this reason, we investigated on ectoparasites of S. leucog(...)

Serge B. Poda1,2,3, Charles Nignan1,2, Olivier Gnankiné2, Roch K. Dabiré1, Abdoulaye Diabaté1 and Olivier Roux1,
Abstract
Background: Mating swarm segregation in closely related insect species may contribute to reproductive isolation.
Visual markers are used for swarm formation; however, it is unknown whether they play a key role in swarm location,
species segregation and sex aggregation.
Methods: Using two sympatric closely related species of the An(...)
