3. 2. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
   Nyckelord :fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

   Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. LÄS MER

4. 3. More Fish, more Mahasoa? A Quantitative Analysis of Food Security & Poverty Reduction in Rural Small-scale Aquaculture in Madagascar
