and political life through concerted interactions between humans, animals, and materials ecologizes politics, making it more attuned to the more-than-human collectivities within which material lives are lived. The paper strives towards a political ecology

Geographers have begun to consider animals and the urban moral landscape, and assess competing rubrics of planning practice as they relate to animals in the city. Together, these efforts suggest a research agenda for urban geographers interested
in human-animal relations, that may help bridge gaps between human and physical geography, and propel the study of nature-society relations to the fore in urban geography.
Translation of the book by the Hungarian-born American professor of zoology and ornithology, enlarged and improved. Attention is given to the ecological, historical and evolutional implications of animal distribution. Geographical distribution
is the result of the evolutional unity of animal and its environment. The principles of dynamic zoogeography are supported by ample evidence. (DLO).
This paper seeks to develop a ‘more-than-human’ cosmopolitanism that accounts for the presence of nonhuman animals and entities in stories of circulation and contact. Through a multi-sited ethnography of elephant conservation in India and the UK
, the paper illustrates how animals become participants in forging connections across difference. Through their circulation, elephants become cosmopolitan, present in diverse cultures and serving banal global consumption. The paper then illustrates how

Dans les Pyrénées, la survivance de l'activité pastorale, l'importance de la chasse et les enjeux actuels de la protection de l'ours font de certaines vallées des zones d'observation privilégiées des rapports société/animal. Marquant de son
omniprésence les représentations symboliques et sociales de la nature, l'animal est un élément essentiel de compréhension des relations des hommes avec leur environnement. - (MCC)
The role of animals in an arid ecosystem: snails and isopods as controllers of soil formation, erosion and desalinization
The AA. use the snails and isopods as case studies to examine: 1) the relationships between activities of animals and abiotic resource dynamics. Here the concept of ecological flow chains is used to explicitly interrelate the flows of energy
and materials controlled by biotic and abiotic factors; 2) the relationship between animal density to the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil formation.
Ecological imperialism : the biological expansion of Europe, 900-1900.
European displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones of North and South America, Australia and New Zealand were more a matter of the introduction and spread of plants, animals, and diseases than of military conquest
Bio-geo-graphy: landscape, dwelling, and the political ecology of human–elephant
Assam ; Biogeography ; Cohabitation ; Crop ; Ecology ; Elephant ; Forest ; India ; Landscape ; Political ecology
Drawing upon postcolonial environmental history, animalecology, and more-than-human geography, this paper examines how humans and elephants cohabit with and against the grain of cartographic design in Assam. It conceptualises and deploys
a methodology of ‘tracking’ through which archival material, elephant ecology, and voices of the marginalised can be integrated and mapped. It concludes by discussing the implications of this work for fostering new conversations between more-than-human geography

The econo-techno-social design of invasive animal management: costs and benefits or beneficiaries and benefactors?
The A. examines the econo-techno-social design of invasive animal management in Far North Queensland through the costs and benefits or beneficiaries and benefactors approaches. He shows how the two management techniques (bounty systems of payment
for feral pig control and a community-based feral pig trapping program)reshape important social and cultural processes through their overlapping technological and economic elements. He argues that ecological-economic theories of pest management may
