imaginaries. In interviews, participants critique the industrial food system, urban economies and social life, and “think differently” about human-animal relations and productive animals in cities. Through these practices, they establish sustainable backyard
agro-ecosystems, build sociability, resist consumerism, and work simultaneously to improve the life and health of animals, humans, and the urban environment.
This paper explores turtle conservation in Odisha, India, to map the complicated ways in which animal well-being is pursued in the contemporary world. Using insights from Foucault’s work on biopolitics, it offers an account of conservation
the asymmetric circulation of biopower in human–animal interactions and to develop Foucauldian scholarship for the examination of present-day manifestations of the ‘will to improve’.
Lavishly illustrated with color photos, this work is divided into rainforest structure, ecology, animals, traditional peoples, pressures on deforestation, and challenge to their conservation. Multi-colored maps of rainforest regions around the world

This article discusses the development of predictive vegetation mapping especially in the context of remote sensing-based vegetation mapping. The A. will illustrate the dependence of predictive vegetation mapping on ecological niche theory, and show
the relationship of regional-scale predictive mapping to the global scale modelling of vegetation in relation to climate, and to animal habitat modelling.

Effects of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, especially mammals, in creating landforms. Focus is on large wild animals of North America where beavers have shown remarkable capacity to change their habitat. Not complete in its coverage
Beyond the clearing : towards a dwelt animal geography
Animal geography ; Anthropomorphism ; Cultural studies
The paper reviews recent developments at the intersection between culture-nature and animal geographies debates in order to consider the ways in which issues of anthropomorphism and beastliness have beset attempts to write the nonhuman.
L'utilisation des moyens de l'animation cartographique pose des questions sur le rapport entre l'animation cartographique et la figuration, et notamment sur la représentation de la continuité ou de la discontinuité spatio-temporelle d'un flux
. Proposition d'une grille de figuration animée de flux, sur le modèle de la table des chorèmes, qui pourra être généralisée à terme et devenir un protocole général de réalisation de cartes animées de flux.

Based on explicating the definition of ecotone, this paper discussed the distribution and features of joint zone between land and water, transition zone between mountains and plains, and intersection zone between agricultural and animal husbandry
This paper describes teeth and bone fragments recovered from the peaty deposit during a search for coleopterain remains. The paper also summarises some of the Coleoptera and plant remains previously described and comments on the ecological
relationships of the plants and animals recognised at the site.
Wetlands in the polar desert environment of the High Arctic provide a special ecologic niche for the tundra plants, insects, birds, and animals. This paper examines how these wetlands adjust to short-term fluctuations in the climate, and how
This paper assesses the fate of applied phosphatic fertiliser over a 30 year period on a grassland site that was rotationally grazed by beef animals for each grass growing season. The total loss of P fertiliser via overland flow over 30 years from

L'histoire de cette jeune discipline a été marquée par un débat animé entre ses deux racines : la géographique (dimension spatiale des phénomènes) et l'écologique (concepts de système et complexité). L'accent est mis sur les aspects de gestion et de
