Existing studies of mangroves in Senegal and The Gambia have found net increases in mangrove tree cover at the national scale, but these do not accord with local accounts and explanations of loss. This paper utilizes remote sensing analysis and political ecology frameworks to assess local accounts ...
Furthermore, in the early 1990s, Guinea-Bissau witnessed an influx of foreign fishermen, primarily from Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea Conakry, and Sierra Leone. According to local inhabitants, these foreign fishermen began exploiting the country’s rich aquatic resources to an unsustainable extent (...
Between 1655 and 1807, captive Africans embarked from the most westerly shores of Senegambia and along the coast eastward, as far as Madagascar. These regions (Figure 1) were not represented uniformly between 1655 and 1807 in Jamaica, illustrated in Table 1. This variability resulted from a nu...
Behavioral ecology is the study of adaptive behavior in relation to social and environmental circumstances. Analysts working from this perspective hold tha
Genetic studies have typically inferred the effects of human impact by documenting patterns of genetic differentiation and levels of genetic diversity among potentially isolated populations using selective neutral markers such as mitochondrial control re
Distribution ofAnopheles gambiaecomplex mosquitoes in Cameroon. Relative abundance of members of theAn. gambiaecomplex collected along a North-to-South transect from 5 August to 8 December 2005. Pies show the frequency ofAn. arabiensis(grey),An. gambiaeM (black) andAn. gambiaeS (white) in each...

African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys) are native to tropical Africa, where they range from Senegal and Gambia east across West Africa and the Congo Basin to the Indian Ocean coast of East Africa. Ecological niche models show that Cricetomys species differ in their invasive potential. Although...

Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) present an unparalleled insect model to integrate evolutionary genomics with ecology for the study of insect evolution. Key features of Odonata include their ancient phylogenetic position, extensive phenotypic and ec
