Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis object of study is the relationship between the urban design conceived by Francisco Rodrigues Saturnino de Brito for the expansion of the city of Vitoria Novo Arrabalde - and the natural environment where the project was placed. Specifically, the study aims to identify the components that somehow underlie the innovation of the proposal in relation to the characteristic pattern of occupation of Vitoria to the late nineteenth century, especially the option to keep the hills preserved from occupation. In the context of these possibilities, two issues are most relevant: the idea that the hills, just as the plains, are part of the desired spatiality, and the hypothesis that a conservationist bias may also have oriented the project design.

Pełny tekst źródłaBiodiversity is defined as the variety and variability of living organisms on Earth and is often measured through species richness. However, biodiversity is composed of other facets (e.g. phylogenetic and functional diversity) that need to be considered to account for evolutionary and ecological processes. Considering these multiple facets of biodiversity together with ecosystem services – direct benefit human obtain from nature – is central in the European conservation agenda. However, to propose new planning strategies, a better understanding of the spatial variation of these different facets and their relationships to ecosystem services is crucial. The objective of this Ph. D. project was to better quantify, describe and understand the spatial variation of different biodiversity facets and analyse their links to ecosystem services. The study of spatial pattern of phylogenetic diversity showed a low overlap between the different taxonomic groups and an unequal protection within the current European protected areas system. This analysis allowed identifying areas of particular evolutionary history, which would be undetectable through the unique lens of species richness. Although environmental factors related to climate (e.g. temperature, primary productivity) seemed to best explain each facet, their relative importance varied across biodiversity facets. Finally a comparison of conservation scenarios where priority was given either to protecting biodiversity protection or to protecting ecosystem services highlighted complex and unpredictable relationships (synergies and trade-offs) and stressed out the stakes linked to the simultaneous protection of different facets of diversity of multiple taxonomic groups and a set of ecosystem services

Pełny tekst źródłaThe animals produce sound for various purposes and the majority of the vocalizations have distinctive characteristics, which are used in the systematics and are useful in the documentation of biodiversity. Monitoring and documenting biodiversity are central tasks in nature conservation and the development of monitoring techniques is especially urgent in the context of the current biodiversity crisis. Bioacoustics proves to be a promising and powerful instrument for assessing biodiversity. This dissertation aims to do an historical analysis of the bioacoustics contribution to the study and conservation of biodiversity in Portugal, to understand how the different recent techniques may assist in monitoring the biodiversity and to test one of the most promising of its methods. This study has revealed that the first bioacoustics recording dates from 1977. Since then, the bioacoustics helped the study and documentation of various species and had special applicability in the conservation of bats and cetaceans in Portugal, with prospects to extend this applicability to other animal groups. Currently, there are powerful bioacoustics tools used on monitoring biodiversity whose limitations tend to be quickly overcome. This dissertation has also showed that to estimate densities, there must be taken into account a number of different factors to calibrate these tools.This dissertation is part of the body of work of the project "Natural Acoustic Landscapes in a Changing World" in order to preserve the recordings as part of our scientific heritage and an important source of documentation of biodiversity, past and present

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores hunting in the Lower Tchiri Valley as an arena in which African and white hunting interests as well as conservation policies precipitated insurgence and accommodation, collaboration and conflict. Precolonial Magololo hunters, having supplanted Mang’anja hunting as a result of the superiority of their hunting technology by 1861, found themselves in competition with white sport hunters over game animals. Unequal power relations between the Magololo hunters and the white hunters, who formed part of the colonial administration in Nyasaland from the 1890s, saw the introduction of game laws that led to wild animals and their sanctuaries becoming contested terrains. Colonial officials and some whites enjoyed privileges in hunting game whose declining populations were blamed on Africans in general and the Magololo in particular. Some Africans and certain whites devised hunting strategies that brought them into conflict with the colonial state. In the Lower Tchiri Valley, the tsetse-game controversy led to game being slaughtered on an unprecedented scale in the Elephant Marsh region. The Game Ordinance of 1926, intended to prevent such wanton destruction, was protested by settlers, planters, white hunters and even missionaries who claimed to represent the interests of the “natives”. The colonial state and the Colonial Office in London quelled the protests, proclaiming Lengwe and Tangadzi as game reserves. As the state was consolidating the game preservation economy and establishing the game reserves from the 1930s to 1960, opposition continued. The implementation of international conservation trends locally, particularly after 1945, served to entrench illicit hunting and the position among some white settlers that game should be exterminated as it was incompatible with agricultural “progress.” The Nyasaland Game Department increased its efforts to ensure that killing game for crop protection was confined to Game Guards, one of whom, an African named Biton Balandow, became a local “hero”. Despite this, by 1960 game populations in the Lower Tchiri Valley reserves were still declining. Together with oral testimonies collected in the communities neighbouring the reserves (or former hunting grounds), the fresh perspectives rendered in this thesis derived from a systematic use of reports, original research papers, colonial administrative correspondence and autobiographical works of big-game hunters-turned preservationists. Specific material for the Lower Tchiri Valley hunting economies from these primary sources allowed this thesis to transcend the often generalised analyses necessitated by macrooverviews in Malawian historiography, and offer a more nuanced study of local contestations between state and subject, between competing individuals, between groups, races and generations and, enduringly, between human and animal.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek jagaktiwiteite in die Laer Tchiri-vallei van Malawi as ‘n gebied waar swart en wit jagtersbelange, asook bewaringsbeleid, teenstand en aanvaarding, sowel as samewerking en konflik ontketen het. Pre-koloniale Magololo-jagters, wat Mang’anja-jagters teen 1861 as gevolg van hulle superieure jagtegnologie verdring het, het toe met wit sportjagters om wild begin kompeteer. Ongelyke magsverhoudinge tussen die Magololo- en wit jagters, wat sedert die 1890’s deel uitgemaak het van die koloniale administrasie in Nyassaland, het tot die daarstelling van wildwetgewing gelei. Op sý beurt het die wildwetgewing en wildbewaringsgebiede betwiste terreine geword. Koloniale amptenare en sekere blankes het jagvoorregte geniet waarvoor die daarmee gepaardgaande blaam vir dalende wildpopulasies op swartes in die algemeen en die Magololo in die besonder geplaas is. Sommige swartes en wittes het jagstrategieë ontwikkel wat hulle in konflik met die koloniale staat gebring het. In die Laer Tchiri-vallei het die tseste-wild-twispunt daartoe gelei dat wild op ‘n ongekende skaal in die Olifant-moerasgebied uitgeroei is. Wit setlaars, boere en jagters, selfs sendelinge wat daarop aanspraak gemaak het dat hulle die belange van die “naturelle” verteenwoordig het, het egter beswaar gemaak teen die Wild Ordonnansie van 1926, wat veronderstel was om sulke ongebreidelde vernietiging te voorkom. Die koloniale staat en die Colonial Office in Londen het die besware onderdruk deur Lengwe en Tangadzi as wildreservate te proklameer. Van die 1930’s tot 1960, toe die staat besig was om die wildbewaringsekonomie te konsolideer en wildreservate te vestig, het teenstand daarteen voortgeduur. Die plaaslike implementering van internasionale bewaringstendense, veral ná 1945, het egter daartoe bygedra om onwettige jagaktiwiteite te verskans. Dit het ook die standpuntinname van sommige wit setlaars, dat wild uitgeroei moes word omdat dit onversoenbaar met landbou “vooruitgang” was, versterk. Die Nyassaland Departement van Fauna het pogings verskerp om te verseker dat die doodmaak van wild, ter wille van oesbeskerming, tot wildbewaarders beperk bly. Een van hulle, ‘n swartman genaamd Biton Bandalow, het ‘n plaaslike “held” geword. Maar ten spyte van hierdie maatreëls was die wildpopulasies in die Laer Tchiri-vallei wildreservate teen 1960 steeds aan die afneem. Hierdie proefskrif bring nuwe insigte aangaande jagaktiwiteite en wildbewaring in die Laer Tchiri-vallei na vore. Die bronne daarvoor is mondelinge getuienis wat in die gemeenskappe aangrensend aan die wildreservate (of voormalige jaggebiede) versamel is. Daarby is verslae, oorspronklike argivale dokumente, koloniale administratiewe korrespondensie en outo-biografiese werke van grootwildjagters wat wildbewaarders geword het, ook sistematies nagevors. Deur middel van spesifieke inligting aangaande die Laer Tchiri-vallei jagtersekonomie wat uit die primêre bronne verkry is, bring hierdie proefskrif nuwe perspektiewe na vore wat in teenstelling staan tot die dikwels geykte analises wat in makro-historiese oorsigte van Malawiese historiografie voorkom. Derhalwe is die proefskrif ‘n meer genuanseerde studie oor plaaslike wedywerings tussen staat en onderdaan, tussen wedywerende indiwidue, tussen groepe, rasse en generasies en op ‘n blywende basis ook tussen mens en dier.

Pełny tekst źródłaEnvironmental historians have worked at redefining the modes of relationship between man and nature in the United States. The way this relation is defined conditions environmental politics, and therefore contributes to the material transformation of the continent. Five major trends of thought about nature are described: nature as a resource transformed by work ; preservationism ; conservationism ; ecology ; and environmental justice. Those ideas endure to this very day in the discourses constructed about nature: they either juxtapose or confront each other. The goal of this thesis is to understand whether they undergo a transformation, evolving towards a definition of the man/nature relationship as a socionatural hybrid. To this end, three cases are examined here, all of which are connected with the Los Angeles area in the early 2000s. The first concerns Tejon Ranch and the agreement passed in 2008 about Tejon Ranch between environmental associations and the owners : it poses the question of the meaning given to a preservation that would incorporate ecological, mythical and economic aspects of that territory, a remain of the Western past. The second deals with the decision that was made in 2007 by the City of Los Angeles to revitalize its river and offers a good example of the broadening of the definition of nature: it can also be urban. The ecological and cultural preoccupations about the river complicate the conservation problematic in Southern California. Finally, South Central Farm’s environmental justice case (1994-2006) is the sign of a transition in American environmental ideas from a clearly spatially limited object to a world issue

Resumo: Em um mundo no qual o meio ambiente ganha cada vez mais espaço na agenda política nacional e internacional, a Amazônia se destaca. Conhecida ao redor do mundo por sua riqueza, a floresta sul-americana é alvo de diferentes visões, muitas vezes contraditórias, e mexe com a imaginação de todos. É nesta região que se encontra a terra preta de índio, horizonte de solo fértil com elevados teores de carbono de origem antrópica, que gera grande interesse da comunidade científica. Estudos sobre este solo, e sobre suas características tão singulares, têm gerado discussões cruciais acerca do passado, do presente e do futuro de toda a região amazônica. Apesar da suas características particulares, a importância da terra preta de índio - e a história de uma Amazônia mais produtiva e populosa - ficou adormecida desde o seu descobrimento, por volta de 1880, até 1980, quando é possível identificar o início do aumento no número de trabalhos sobre estes horizontes de solo. Estes cem anos entre o descobrimento da terra preta de índio e o início do aumento do interesse em torno dela foram palco de mudanças estruturais tanto no plano nacional, com a ditadura militar e uma mudança no lugar ocupado pela Amazônia na política interna, quanto no plano das relações internacionais, mudanças essas que redesenharam o papel do meio ambiente nas agendas políticas e científicas e o papel do Brasil no contexto global. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o papel da terra preta de índio no cenário atual de desenvolvimento da Amazônia. Para isso será preciso voltar no tempo, tanto no âmbito interno quanto no externo, ao longo da segunda metade do século para analisar a sua trajetória. Será igualmente necessário analisar as questões atuais que envolvem a Amazônia - desenvolvimento sustentável e mudanças climáticas - e como de fato elas ainda reproduzem alguns dos problemas que marcaram a história da floresta, tais como a relativa ausência da terra preta de índio como tema relevante para a Amazônia
Abstract: In a world in which the environment gains each time more space in the national and international political agenda, the Amazon stands out. Known around the world for its richness, the South-American forest is the target of different visions, often contradictory ones, and it plays with everyone's imagination. This is where the terra preta de índio - Amazonian Dark Earths - are found, a fertile soil horizon with high concentrations of carbon with anthropic origins, which has generated great interest from the scientific community. Studies on these soils and their so singular characteristics have triggered crucial discussions on the past, present and the future of the entire Amazon region. Despite its singular characteristics, the importance of Amazonian Dark Earths - and a history of a more productive and populated Amazon - was hidden since its discovery around 1880 until 1980, when it is possible to identify the beginning of an increase in the number of research on these soil horizons. These hundred years between the first records and the beginning of the increase in the interest around these soils witnessed structural changes both in the national arena, with the military dictatorship and a change in the place of the Amazon within internal affairs, and in the international arena with changes that reshaped the role of the environment in the political and scientific agendas and the role of Brazil in the global context. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the role of terra preta de índio in the current development scenario in the Amazon. To do so it is necessary to go back in time, both in the national and international sphere, through the second half of the last century to analyse its trajectory. It will be equally important to analyse the current issues regarding the Amazon - sustainable development and climate change - and how they still reproduce some of the problems that marked the history of the forest, such as the absence of Amazonian dark earths as a relevant theme to the Amazon

Pełny tekst źródłaAlthough most knowledge on the biology of Sousa plumbea has primarily come from South African waters, a number of research gaps remain on the natural history and status of the species in the region. Research on two populations in South African waters for which some historical data exist may aid in highlighting long-term changes in the biology and natural history of this little known coastal delphinid. Recent studies on the age, growth and reproduction of animals incidentally caught in shark nets in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, yielded a lower maximum age estimate of 24 (previously 46) growth-layer-groups (GLGs), sexual maturity of 7.5 and 8 GLGs in males and females (previously 12–13 and 10 GLGs, respectively), an ovulation rate of 0.2 and a 5-year calving interval (previously 0.3 and 3-year calving interval) than previously reported. These differences may be due to a difference in the interpretation of GLGs between observers or a predominance of young males being caught in the shark nets. Stomach content analysis revealed a change in the relative proportions of the main prey items over the past 25 years, but no difference in species richness or diversity was found between the sexes. No change in trophic level was recorded between 1972 and 2009. Field studies in Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape, conducted 16 years apart indicated a decline in the mean group size (from 7 to 3 animals), a decline in the maximum group size (from 24 to 13 animals), an increase in solitary individuals (15.4–36%), and a change in behaviour from predominantly foraging (64–18%) to mainly travelling (24–49%). The observed changes are suggestive of a change in food availability, resulting in a range shift or a potential decline in numbers. These studies indicate the importance of long-term studies to monitor population changes and their possible causes. A number of threats, such as shark nets, pollution (noise and chemical), and coastal development and disturbance, to the humpback dolphin populations in South Africa have been identified. Urgent action is required to ensure continued existence of the species in South African waters.
