The Effects of Habitat Disturbance on Adult Odonata Assemblages in Urban Freshwater Habitats of Southern Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana

Badu, Isaac Kwame (University of Cape Coast, 2022-11)

Members of the insect Order Odonata have been widely used as indicators of the integrity of freshwater ecosystems. However, the effects of anthropogenically induced factors continue to affect their assemblages especially ...
Effects of Urban Land-use Type on Avifauna Assemblage Structure in Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly

Afrifa, Joseph Kwasi (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2021-12)

ABSTRACT Given the global trend of increasing urbanization, the need to preserve and improve urban biodiversity has become critical. This study examines the relative influence of different land-use types as well as ...
Effects of Sacred Grove Size and Isolation Distance on Avifaunal Assemblages in Forest-Savannah Transition Zone of Ghana

Yeboah, Abraham (University of Cape Coast, 2017-12)

Sacred groves which are remnants of old-growth forests protected by indigenous people with the view that their gods reside in them and protect them from all forms of calamities, may be important areas for forest-dependent ...
Bird Assemblages and Vegetation Structre along Urbanization Gradient in Central Region, Ghana

Opoku, Bright (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

Ghana forest cover has decreased to less than 20% of the original continuous forest due to deforestation through urbanisation, agricultural intensification and infrastructure development. What are left are modified fragmented ...
Biology and susceptibility of spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) to selected insecticides

Akwaa-Sekyi, Phyllis (University of Cape Coast, 2021-07)

Environmental factors and the use of insecticides form a major component in the management of insects of agricultural importance. The development of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, an invasive insect pest in Ghana ...
Some aspects of pollination ecology and effect of pesticides on the flower visitors and yield of the watermelon crop citrullus lanatus (thunb.) (cucurbitales: cucurbitaceae) in the Shai-Osudoku district of Ghana

Tettey-Enyo, Emmanuel Joe (University of Cape Coast, 2017-09)

The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of pesticide application on the abundance and diversity of watermelon flower visitors as well as its effect on the crop yield. This was to help identify the most ...
