Articles from Mpala/Segera
These articles are in chronological order. Publications with an asterisk (*) represent broader publications that are not direct reports of research at Mpala/Segera, but include or are based in some way on such research. Those with a dagger (†) are publications from Lynne Isbell's PAVE Project on adjacent Segera Ranch, which was initially hosted by Mpala (1992-1995), and from Rynne Palombit's baboon research on Segera. Some of the other publications listed here include research on properties other than Mpala, but based at MRC.
