Research shows that women’s social networks - their ties with partners, family members, friends, and providers - af...

Estimates of population size are fundamental to setting conservation priorities for threatened primate species. Many taxa in the lemur genus Lepilemur remain understudied, and basic population statistics are often dated, incomplete, or absent. Hubbard’s sportive lemur (Lepilemur hubbardorum) is known only from the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park r...

Dans l’île de Madagascar, l’habit du bébé est conditionné à la fois par la croyance, la santé, l’identité sexuelle et l’esthétique. Ces éléments sont nécessaires pour mieux accompagner la naissance, qui est souvent un moment de danger pour la maman et aussi pour le bébé, celui étant un être vulnérable dans le monde spirituel du quotidien des Malaga...

Given the Indian block’s ancient association with Gondwana and subsequent separation from Africa, then Madagascar, then the Seychelles, vicariance has often been invoked to explain the distribution of some of India’s extant biota that might have had Gondwanan origins. Here I review phylogenetic studies and fossil data of Indian tetrapods to ascerta...

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc globally with particular concerns for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where models suggest that the majority of the population will become infected. Conventional wisdom suggests that the continent will bear a higher burden of COVID-19 for the same reasons it suffers from other infectious diseases: ecology, socio-economic condit...

BackgroundEdge effects can influence species composition and community structure as a result of changes in microenvironment and edaphic variables. We investigated effects of habitat edges on vegetation structure, abundance and body mass of one vulnerable Microcebus species in northwestern Madagascar. We trapped mouse lemurs along four 1000-m transe...

BackgroundGeographical accessibility to health facilities remains one of the main barriers to access care in rural areas of the developing world. Although methods and tools exist to model geographic accessibility, the lack of basic geographic information prevents their widespread use at the local level for targeted program implementation. The aim o...
