In Benin, Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is one of the agroforestry species great socio-economic importance for local populations. Given actual variation in climate parameters, it necessary to anticipate future spatial distribution trees as an adaptation strategy and designing relevant conservation strategies.

The disappearance of resources with high genetic potential and great utility for people the challenge conservation sustainable management these are two opposing facts which world is now concerned. In Benin, forests agroforestry systems complement each other in wood supply mortar pestle manufacture. Thus, this study aimed to investigate diversity woody species used manufacture analyze preference...

This study evaluated the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of crude peptide extracted from Galatea paradoxa (G. paradoxa) and Patella rustica (P. rustica). The extracts were tested against eight strains of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhi, Enterococcus feacalis, Klebseilla pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) ...
