Ecosystems around the world generate a wide range of services. Often, there are trade-offs in ecosystem service provision. Managing such requires governance interdependent action situations. We distinguished between (1) enhancing situations where beneficiaries create, maintain, or improve an ESS and (2) appropriation actors subtract from flow ESS. classified ESSs order to identify focal link them types which likely strengthen sustainable management. The classification is applied six forest...
Study Objectives It has long been suspected that sleep is important for regulating body temperature and metabolic-rate. Hibernation, a state of acute hypothermia reduced metabolic-rate, offers promising system investigating those relationships. Prior studies in hibernating ground squirrels report that, although occurs during hibernation, it manifests only as non-REM sleep, at relatively high temperatures. In our study, we data on hibernation lemuriform primate, Cheirogaleus medius. As the...
Abstract Nature and species conservation often conflict with intensive natural resource or land use. Many protected areas are too small for long-term of viable vertebrate populations, especially in Madagascar, forests subject to exploitation a variety resources. Trying exclude people from the use these resources has not been successful during economic, natural, political crises when human population growth outruns any development effort. People need economic other benefits, measures have...
Sustainability problems call for collaborative solution finding. Lessons learnt from the transdisciplinary designs of three projects in Global South include need a prephase to build balanced ownership, institutionalised and equal partnerships, diversified approaches.Stakeholder (SH) involvement is major ever-challenging aspect research (TDR). Reflecting on land management (Carbiocial, SuLaMa, TFO) North-South setting, we present their individual approaches SH discuss which group was...
Local markets in rural areas constitute the main means of market integration for smallholders developing countries. They are used selling and buying agricultural products basic necessities. Frequently infrastructure is poor transport costs high so that farmers' access restricted to few local markets. To understand dynamics we investigated Mahafaly Plateau region Madagascar as an example a country, where farmers depend on small We collected data usage monitored prices crops livestock two...
