• Evidence for indigenous selection and distribution of the shea tree, Vitellaria paradoxa, and its potential significance to prevailing parkland savanna tree patterns in sub‐Saharan Africa north of the equator (2003, background): “The putative degree of trait selection (Table 3) may be associated with the relative importance of Vitellaria (overall density and proportional representation among woody species present) within a given parkland, as estimated by various authors (Ruyssen, 1957; Boffa, 1999; Lovett & Haq, 2000a).”
• Land use impact on Vitellaria paradoxa C.F. Gaerten. stand structure and distribution patterns: a comparison of Biosphere Reserve of Pendjari in Atacora district in Benin (2008, background): “These findings are supported by Lovett and Haq (2000) who found in the Gonja districut of northern Ghana that anthropic selection of shea trees through elimination of other undesired trees as well as selected shea trees taking into account criteria such as spacing, growth, size, age, health, and…”
