Les Carnivora de Madagascar - Steven G. Goodman - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

Madagascar, with its unique and highly endemic flora and fauna, is a world conservation priority. Thirteen species of Carnivora are currently known to exist on the island, ten belonging to the endemic family Eupleridae and with the balance introduced by humans. Since the pioneering work carried out on Madagascar’s Carnivora in the 1970s, numerous other research projects have been conducted on these animals, and this pocket-sized book provides an up-to-date synthesis of these studies. Written in non-technical French and featuring beautiful illustrations of all Malagasy carnivorans, this is the only recent book in any language that covers the entirety of Madagascar’s introduced and endemic Carnivora species. It offers particular insight into Eupleridae. The different species that make up this endemic family all originate from a common ancestor that millions of years ago somehow traversed the Mozambique Channel, colonized the island, and subsequently evolved into the Eupleridae species of today. This book shows that, although Eupleridae display morphological similarities to other Carnivora in the world—such as civets, mongooses, and cats—these similarities are in fact the product of convergent evolution.

Les Petits Mammiferes de Madagascar - Voahangy Soarimalala - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

Madagascar, with its unique and highly endemic flora and fauna, is a world conservation priority, but until now, no detailed synthesis has been available for the small mammals of the island. This pocket-sized book, written in non-technical French and beautifully illustrated throughout, fills that gap with both a general introduction to Malagasy small mammals and detailed entries for fifty-nine endemic species, many only recently described by science. Small mammals covered include Madagascar’s endemic rodent species—the mice and rats of the greatly diversified subfamily Nesomyinae, which have evolved to fill a variety of ecological niches—as well as the snouted, insectivore-like mammals of the family Tenrecidae.

Les Chauves–Souris de Madagascar - Steven M. Goodman - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

The island of Madagascar, with its unique and highly endemic flora and fauna, is a world conservation priority. Until recent years, the bats of the island were not studied in detail, but the latest research has led to the discovery of a considerable number of species previously unknown to science and revealed many details of their distribution and natural history. This pocket-sized book, written in accessible French and illustrated throughout with informative photographs and drawings of all bat species known to occur on the island, presents numerous details of Madagascar’s extraordinary bat fauna. The first section provides a general introduction to these flying mammals, while the second section provides accounts of all currently recognized Malagasy species and offers insights into their ecological roles. Madagascar’s fruit bats, for instance, have been found to be among the most important vertebrates on the island in the regeneration of natural forests, as they pollinate different types of plants and disperse seeds. In addition, small insectivorous species have been shown to provide a vital service because they help control agricultural pests and eat different insects that transmit diseases to humans.

Les Amphibiens du Nord de Madagascar - Andolalao Rakotoarison - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

The island of Madagascar hosts a large number of frogs with at least 315 described species, and many others still to be named. Northern Madagascar is rich in species, due to the heterogeneity of landscapes, including a large number of habitat types and ecosystems. These species are threatened by many factors, including environmental degradation and capture for wildlife trade. The amphibian species that live in the northern part of Madagascar are presented in this book, including aspects of their identification, ecology, natural history, and vocalizations. Illustrated in color throughout, this French-language guide is intended for researchers engaged in fieldwork and conservation projects, as well as tourists visiting the island.

Les Amphibiens de l'Ouest et du Sud de Madagascar - Achille P. Raselimanana - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

Madagascar is home to an extraordinary number of frog species, with nearly all native species endemic to the island and many not yet described by science. While a considerable percentage of these species occur in the eastern humid forests of the island, many are found in the more poorly documented dry forests of west and south Madagascar. As a result of various human pressures, these animals are among the most threatened vertebrates on the island. In this highly illustrated French-language guide, the authors provide both a detailed introduction to the amphibians of Madagascar as well as the most comprehensive information ever assembled on the forty-five species of frogs known from the dry western areas, with details on identification, calls, tadpoles, distribution, habitat, and conservation status.

Les Animaux et Ecosystemes de l`Holocene Disparus de Madagascar - William L. Jungers - Bog - Association Vahatra in Antananarivo - Plusbog.dk

While the current biodiversity of Madagascar is the subject of international attention from both evolutionary biologists and conservationists, no in-depth synthesis exists to describe ecological changes on the island during the Holocene and, most importantly, during the periods before and after human colonization. This concise, French-language book provides the first such explication of those alterations. Drawing on various aspects of the morphology and extrapolated habitat use of extinct animals identified from paleontological and archaeological sites, as well as characteristics of extant species, Steven M. Goodman and William L. Jungers reconstruct these organisms’ natural history and the ecosystems in which they lived. These windows into the past are presented in twenty different vignettes beautifully illustrated with plates from Velizar Simeonovski.
