Behavioral endocrinology of male dispersal in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
REFNo: NS84ES
Evolutionary causes and consequences (or the “why”) of dispersal are fairly well established, bein respectively inbreeding avoidance and increased reproductive success (Bowler & Benton, 2005). However, the environmental, social, individual, and physiological proximate mechanisms underlying individual dispersal decisions, and their consequences, are still poorly understood. Previous studies have mainly focused on the individual’s physiological response to

dispersal events (before and after) and looked at the social outcome (e.g., dominance rank) rather than the processes leading to that outcome. For this research, my objectives are to examine how the numerous potential costs of dispersal drive individual dispersal decisions as to when, where, and how they transfer (lone or parallel). I will assess the environmental, social, and physiological causes and consequences of dispersal in vervet monkeys at Lake Nabugabo. My hypotheses and predictions are summarized in Table 2. Dominance rank is often established once a male immigrates into another group. The males’ ability to take over a group and the attainment of a high dominance rank might be dependent on when, where, and how they disperse. My research contributes to a broader understanding of how the immediate environmental, social, and individual factors affect the way they transfer.

Mathematical Models for the dynamics of banana xanthomonas wilt and the banana weevil, Cosmopolites Sordidus, (Germar) and control Interventions
REFNo: A58ES
1. to quantify the role of symptomless but infectious plants in the persistence of banana xanthomonas wilt;
2. evaluate the effectiveness of existing control options against the banana weevil;
3. use optimal control theories to originate a combination of controls that will ensure management of the pest and disease at minimal cost in terms of time, funds and environmental damage;

THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF PARTICIPANTS IN AN AFRICAN RANDOMISED TRIAL (LEOPARD)
REFNo: SS386ES
AIM: To document the AMBITION participant experience in order to build an understanding of how to improve trial delivery for future participants in the trial.
OBJECTIVES
From the perspective of the participant:
1. To build an understanding of the factors that enhance or diminish a clinical trial experience.
From the perspective of the next-of-kin of a participant:
2. To build an understanding of the factors that enhance or diminish a clinical trial experience.
From the perspective of the researcher:
3. To build an understanding of the factors that are perceived to enhance or diminish a trial participant’s experience of a clinical trial.
4. To compare the individual researcher’s experience of the conceptualisation, development, initiation and implementation of a multi-centred clinical trial in Africa.
