Co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge has been identified as useful to generating adaptation pathways with peoples, who are attached their traditional lands thus highly exposed the impacts of climate change. However, ignoring complex contested histories nation-state colonisation can result in naïve plans that increase vulnerability. Here, through a case study central Australia, we investigate conditions under which co-production support change among place-attached...
A recent large-scale analysis of nonsynonymous coding polymorphisms showed strong evidence that an alanine to threonine amino acid change at codon 946 the interferon-induced helicase (IFIH1) gene (SNP ID rs1990760) was associated with type 1 diabetes. Previous investigations have also demonstrated intronic polymorphism (termed PD1.3; SNP rs11568821) in programmed cell death (PDCD1) systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.We sought replicate these genetic associations Graves'...

We identify four principles that can promote the prospects of health outcomes for desert Aboriginal people from livelihoods engaged with land management. The were derived inductively using a grounded theory approach, drawing on primary research used qualitative and participatory methods, relevant literature theoretical frameworks. International Australian offers evidence supports people’s view their depends relationship land. Engagement management lead to feel own actions are consistent...
Agricultural production must increase significantly to meet the needs of a growing global population with increasing per capita consumption food, fiber, building materials, and fuel. Consumption already exceeds net primary in many parts world (Imhoff et al. 2004).
The sustainable livelihoods approach is widely used in rural development internationally but has been little applied Australia. It a framework for thinking and communicating about factors that impact on the of individuals families including their health, well being income maintenance natural resource condition. aims to promote systemic understanding how multiple variables local people’s livelihoods. Three case studies are outlined, highlight its potential as tool collaborative engagement...

The persistence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in endemic areas, with small-scale but regular outbreaks domestic pigs, is not well understood. ASFV has been detected using conventional diagnosis these pigs or adjacent populations resistant wild that could act as potential carriers during the outbreaks. However, such data are crucial for design evidence-based control strategies. We conducted cross-sectional (1107 pigs) and longitudinal (100 monitoring prevalence local Kenya Uganda....
Indigenous land and sea management (ILSM) has been the focus of large government investment in Australia globally. Beyond environmental benefits, such investments can deliver a suite social, cultural economic co-benefits, aligning with objectives communities governments for culturally appropriate socio-economic development. Nevertheless, there have very few studies done on spatial distribution this extent to which its associated co-benefits address disadvantage, is unevenly distributed...
Employment is generally considered as essential for improving individual and social livelihoods wellbeing in Australia. Typically, employment rates are low among Aboriginal people living remote regions of Often this attributed to a lack mainstream labour markets. However, participation even places where there opportunities, creating seemingly paradoxical situation lots job vacancies unemployed locals. Social networks one the factors that contribute phenomenon, can potentially help address...
Abstract This paper examines the economic potential for fire management to provide offsets carbon markets in savannas of northern Australia. Long‐term field trials Australia's have quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions abatement resulting from improved management. However, little is known about projects or locations where might be economically viable providing GHG offsets. A benefit–cost analysis presented here, which includes spatially explicit estimates under three assumptions efficacy...
Landscape-scale approaches are emerging as central to ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation globally, triggering the requirement for collaboration between multiple actors associated risks including knowledge asymmetries; institutional fragmentation; uncertainty; power imbalances; ''invisible'' slow-changing variables; entrenched socioeconomic inequities.While social science has elucidated some dimensions required effective collaboration, little is known about how manages these...
