• The impacts of climate change on livestock and livestock systems in developing countries: A review of what we know and what we need to know (2009, background): “In another study that looked at possible impacts of climate change on a major disease of livestock in African livestock systems, cattle trypanosomiasis, Thornton et al. (2006a) investigated climate-driven changes in habitat suitability for the tsetse fly vector.”
• Challenges of Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change in Nigeria: a Synthesis from the Literature (2010, background): “…agriculture in Africa have tended to concentrate on actual and projected impacts as well as farmers’ coping/adaptation strategies (Adejuwon, 2006, FAO 2007, BNRC 2008, Apata et al. 2010 SEI 2008, Ajetomobi et al. 2010 Mendelsohn et al., 2000 Stige et al., 2006 Agoumi, 2003 Thornton et al., 2006).”
• Measuring household vulnerability to climate-induced stresses in pastoral rangelands of Kenya: Implications for resilience programming (2014, background): “…climatic conditions and remoteness, coupled with poor infrastructure and low access to essential services (Republic of Kenya 2012) Previous studies (Thornton et al. 2006; Kabubo-Mariara 2009) in the region confirmed that it is becoming increasingly difficult for households to bounce back from…”
• Mapping South African farming sector vulnerability to climate change and variability: A subnational assessment (2009, methodology): “…previous reports; in particular, we draw from Aandahl and O’Brien (2001), Moss et al. (2001), Cutter et al. (2000 and 2003), TERI (2003), O’Brien et al. (2004b), Lucas and Hilderink (2004), Brenkert and Malone (2005), Brooks et al. (2005), Patnaik and Narayanan (2005), and Thornton et al. (2006).”
• Livestock, livelihoods and the environment: understanding the trade-offs (2009, background): “3 billion people globally and directly support the livelihoods of 600 million poor smallholder farmers in the developing world [1,2].”
• Migratory Responses to Agricultural Risk in Northern Nigeria (2011, unknown): “A 20-percent reduction in the growing period is predicted to occur by 2050 in the Sahel (Thornton et al. 2006 as cited by Boko et al. 2007), which motivates understanding private capacities to adapt and their limitations to ameliorate the expected damages from climate change through policy.”
• Present and future climate change in the semi‐arid region of West Africa: a crucial input for practical adaptation in agriculture (2012, methodology): “It is an effective integrator of changes in rainfall amounts and patterns and temperatures (Thornton et al., 2006).”
