New insight into the systematic position of the endemic Madagascan genus Amberiana (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Dinidoridae) using 12S rDNA sequences

2015

The systematic position of the endemic Madagascan genus Amberiana Dist. İs studied using DNA sequences (the mitochondrial 12S rDNA subunit) for the first time. The phylogenetic relationships within the superfamily Pentatomoidea were computed using neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony, minimum evolution, and maximum likelihood methods, as well as Bayesian estimation. All results based on the mtDNA analyses stand in contrast with previous morphological data. The mtDNA analysis showed close relationships of the genus Amberiana to the genus Sehirus (Cydnidae: Sehirinae) and to species of the family Parastrachiidae, whereas the morphology indicated that the genus was a typical representative of t…

Student Learning in Public and Private Primary Schools in Madagascar

2003

03058; International audience; This article examines the progress of primary education in Madagascar. The challenge facing policy makers is enormous: how to maintain (or indeed, improve) learning across schools within Madagascar based on the data from the Conference des Ministries de l'Education des Pays Ayant le Francais en Partage in five African countries where common tests were administered to second- and fifth-graders. Beyond documenting the aggregate differences across sectors, the extent to which differences across schools, particularly between those in the public and private sectors, are associated with pupils' socioeconomic background, difference sin school inputs, and gaps across …

Développement des enfants de 0 à 6 ans et pratiques parentales à Madagascar

2011

Ce travail sur les pratiques parentales et le développement des enfants de 0 à 6 ans à Madagascar, s'inscrit dans le cadre des appuis de l'Unicef au Gouvernement malgache pour le développement d'activités en faveur de la petite enfance. Il vise une triple perspective : i) une perspective de connaissance d'une part des pratiques familiales et des comportements des mères pour leurs jeunes enfants et d'autre part des patterns et balises de développement des enfants malgaches, les informations disponibles sur ce plan étant jusque là principalement empruntées à d'autres pays; ii) une perspective opérationnelle, pour fournir des références à la définition des contenus des activités d'éducation fa…

Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica.

2018

Abstract Background The coincidence of long distance dispersal (LDD) and biome shift is assumed to be the result of a multifaceted interplay between geographical distance and ecological suitability of source and sink areas. Here, we test the influence of these factors on the dispersal history of the flowering plant genus Erica (Ericaceae) across the Afrotemperate. We quantify similarity of Erica climate niches per biogeographic area using direct observations of species, and test various colonisation scenarios while estimating ancestral areas for the Erica clade using parametric biogeographic model testing. Results We infer that the overall dispersal history of Erica across the Afrotemperate…

Hybridization between mouse lemurs in an ecological transition zone in southern Madagascar

2009

Hybrid zones in ecotones can be useful model systems for the study of evolutionary processes that shape the distribution and discreteness of species. Such studies could be important for an improved understanding of the complex biogeography of Madagascar, which is renowned for its outstanding degree of small-scale endemism. Certain forest remnants in central Madagascar indicate that transitional corridors across the island could have connected microendemics in different forest types in the past. Evolutionary processes in such corridors are difficult to study because most of these corridors have disappeared due to deforestation in central Madagascar. We studied a hybrid zone in one of the few…

Discrepant partitioning of genetic diversity in mouse lemurs and dwarf lemurs--biological reality or taxonomic bias?

2013

Unequal degrees of taxonomic subdivision can pose problems for research that relies on cross-taxon comparisons of biogeographic patterns. Numerous species of lemurs have been described in recent years. These descriptions were unevenly distributed over the genera of lemurs as exemplified by the closely related mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) and dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleus spp.). According to previous studies, these genera display striking differences such as many versus few species, small versus large distributions, and small versus large mitochondrial divergence within and between species. We questioned if these differences reflect the biological reality or a biased taxonomic subdivision, wh…

Améliorer la gestion de l'enseignement primaire à Madagascar

2010

Despite considerable efforts which have been undertaken, Madagascar's primary education is facing major management problems which severely limit the chances of success of ongoing reforms and outcomes. The initiative, Improving Education Management in Madagascar (AGEMAD), attempts to address these issues. Before generalizing about this management system of the whole sector, the Ministry of Education wanted to assess the impact of implementing the initiative AGEMAD on the behavior of actors (teachers, principals, administrators, etc.) and student performance. To accomplish this, a large-scale experiment was designed and implemented. It monitored arrangements to assess the impact of different …
