A new fossil site in a previously unexplored part of western Madagascar (the Beanka Protected Area) has yielded remains of many recently extinct vertebrates, including giant lemurs (Babakotia radofilai, Palaeopropithecus kelyus, Pachylemur sp., and Archaeolemur edwardsi), carnivores (Cryptoprocta spelea), the aardvark-like Plesiorycteropus sp., and giant ground cuckoos (Coua). Many of these...

Humanitarian project : the implementation of charity boxes in Antananarivo, Madagascar

Dutoit, Axelle ; Laforêt, Aurélie (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2019 ; TDIBM 57.

The situation in Madagascar is critical, with an annual GDP of 448 USD per citizen in 2017, the country suffers from political uncertainty, corruption, illness, a poor education system and many other factors that make it one of the poorest country in the world. The country represents a challenging environment to operate in. However, with a good support from local politicians, a deep analysis of...

Permian magmatism and metamorphism in the Dent Blanche nappe: constraints from field observations and geochronology

Manzotti, Paola ; Rubatto, Daniela ; Zucali, Michele ; El Korh, Afifé ; Cenki-Tok, Bénédicte ; Ballèvre, Michel ; Engi, Martin

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2018, vol. 111, no. 1–2, p. 79–97

In the Dent Blanche Tectonic System, the Mont Morion biotite-bearing granite is a km- scale intrusion preserved in a low-strain volume. Zircon saturation thermometry suggests that it crystallised from a melt that reached about 800 °C. U–Pb zircon and allanite geochronology indicates crystallization of the magma in the Permian (290 ± 3 Ma; 280 ± 8 Ma, respectively). Migmatitic...

The effect of top‐predator presence and phenotype on aquatic microbial communities

Sullam, Karen E. ; Matthews, Blake ; Aebischer, Thierry ; Seehausen, Ole ; Bürgmann, Helmut

In: Ecology and Evolution, 2017, vol. 7, no. 5, p. 1572–1582

The presence of predators can impact a variety of organisms within the ecosystem, including microorganisms. Because the effects of fish predators and their phenotypic differences on microbial communities have not received much attention, we tested how the presence/absence, genotype, and plasticity of the predatory three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) influence aquatic microbes in...

Crisis management strategy for a small adventure tour operator specialised in Madagascar

Voide, Cindy ; Wilk, Rolf (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole de Gestion & Tourisme, 2016.

This paper intends to explore ways a small tour operator specialised in Madagascar can prepare itself for a crisis and how it can manage one most efficiently by its own means. In order to do so, interviews with professionals working for tour operators have been carried out to gather qualitative data about their practices. In addition to this, a couple of experts in this field of crisis...

Neonatal infections with multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing E. cloacae and K. pneumoniae in Neonatal Units of two different Hospitals in Antananarivo, Madagascar

Naas, Thierry ; Cuzon, Gaëlle ; Robinson, A. L. ; Andrianirina, Z. ; Imbert, P. ; Ratsima, E. ; Ranosiarisoa, Z. N. ; Nordmann, Patrice ; Raymond, J.

In: BMC Infectious Diseases, 2016, vol. 16, p. 275

Background: We investigated the molecular mechanism of ß-lactam resistance in extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterial strains isolated in neonatal units of different hospitals in Anatnanarivo, Madagascar.Methods: Bacteria were identified by standard biochemical methods, disc diffusion antibiograms and Etest. Resistance genes were sought by PCR. Strains were...
