It would be good to see this more emphasised in the executive suggestion, both in chapter 5 and in chapter 6 summary, as this is what the policy-makers will be most interested in. I also believe that the authors of Chapter 6 should pick up on these ideas and integrate them more convincingly into their chapter, which frames its whole presentation on a model of industrial agriculture and western-style land management. The lessons that may be derived from small-scale, traditional forestry, agriculture and land management are completely absent from Chapter 6. Richard Corlett Genera 0 0 0 0 This is an excellent SOD.

There is no Positive feedback is appreciated comparison. It is an interesting, comprehensive analysis of a diverse literature which, to my knowledge, has never been synthesised before. In general, my comments are minor, referring to small points. There are minor copy-editing errors throughout, but I have only commented when they might make a substantive difference to the text.

We note however that despite the bat and a possum case example, and made reference chapter having a number of references to bats as pollinators, there is to a lizard. limited analysis of their loss due to disease or habitat loss/conversion. There is also limited if any reference to reptiles and small mammals, which is likely not to have been a high priority when searching databases or questioning of ILK holders. A couple of case studies on these species would be useful.

Sandra Diaz 5 6 1 6 1 Some of the key messages of this chapter are not mentioend explicitly The perspective has been incorporated and all the enough, or sharply enough in the SPM of the whole Assesment: Chapter 5 evidence about nature's benefits brought together in shows highly conviincing evidence that pollinators are a source of multiple a key message for the SPM benefits to people, well beyond the direct or indirect provision of food. This is not hihglighted explicilty enough in the key messages, especially in the case of non-indigenous societies. Sandra Diaz 5 6 1 6 1 Another key message that should be mentioned more explicilty in the SPM ok of the whole Assement: the fact that ILK about pollinators and their benefits and values is important to maintain their diversity, and the fact that ILK, in co-production with science, can be a source of solutions for the present challenges, does not appear with shapr enough focus at the level of the key messages. I suggest makiing an extra distillation effort to bring more specificity to the way pollinator-relevant ILK is reflected in the key messages. Liliana Bravo 5 6 2 6 2 Regarding the Executive Summary: The suggestion has been incorporated in the first key It might be helpful to include an introductory paragraph message describing/presenting the common thread running through the chapter. Canadian 5 6 3 6 3 Insert “Western” before “science” on this line, since ILK also includes The text has been revised and this sentence is no Government science, it’s just a different form longer included. Denise Matias 5 6 3 6 4 I'm not exactly sure whether "science" and "ILK" can be pit against each The text has been revised so that "science" and "ilk" other. There may be instances when "ILK" can be explained by "science" are no longer pitted against each other and may just be a matter of further research. It may be good to qualify "science" here using additional words. Top off my head, "hard science" Sandra Diaz 5 6 3 7 42 All the headline sentences of these paragraphs are good and relevant. ok However, there is too much on examples and detalis for an executive summary; e.g. lines 18-29 of page 6 do not need to be in such detail here; same with most of the text in lines 35-42 of page 7. UK Government 5 6 3 6 4 This comment applies throughout the chapter and not only to the page and Your suggestion has been incorporated and other lines specified. The chapter discusses 'diverse knowledge systems, including knowledge systems recognised in section 5.1.1 and a those of science and of indigenous and local peoples'. These knowledge justification for the focus on science and ILK presented systems are crucial, but discussion seems to neglect lay knowledge in in 1.2 developed countries, and non-indigenous knowledge in developing countries Catherine 5 6 4 6 4 Pollinators could be usefully defined in first sentence with particular Your suggestion has been incorporated and other Robinson reference to unique and comparable foci of ILK and science contributions to knowledge systems recognised in section 5.1.1 and a the understanding and management of pollinators globally. For example - justification for the focus on science and ILK presented "Pollination describes the processes that enable fertilization and in 1.2 reproduction which have understood and managed across the globe using contributions from ILK and science. While science has focused on the agency of insects, animals and wind as pollinators, ILK has also considered the spiritual relationships and agency of people, the species and the country that gives and received life'. Catherine 5 6 4 6 4 Not convinced contribution of diverse knowledge systems is 'very well The text has been revised so that the statement is Robinson established'. I suggest 'established, but incomplete' because, as this chapter now somewhat different and the confidence now highlights, there are still gaps in knowledge systems built between ILK and assigned to well established science to understand and manage pollinators and the pollination process Serena Heckler 5 6 5 6 6 Should be "socio-ecological knowledge" The more widely-accepted term in the scientific literature is social-ecological, so we have used this throughout.

  • The Case of Honey in Zambia the Case
    Small-scale with outstanding economic potential enterprises woodland-based In some countries, honey and beeswax are so important the term ‘beekeeping’ appears in the titles of some government ministries. The significance of honey and beeswax in local livelihoods is nowhere more apparent than in the Miombo woodlands of southern Africa. Bee-keeping is a vital source of income for many poor and remote rural producers throughout the Miombo, often because it is highly suited to small scale farming. This detailed Non-Timber Forest Product study from Zambia examines beekeeping’s livelihood role from a range of perspectives, including market factors, production methods and measures for harnessing beekeeping to help reduce poverty.

Title: One Methodology for the Incorporation of Entomological Material in the Discipline of Historic Archaeology Using the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) as a Test Subject. Abstract approved:. Redacted for Privacy David R. Brauner Using the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) this thesis shows that entomological information and material can be retrieved using current historical archaeological methods. Historical archaeology has the ability to uncover connections between arenas as varied, and seemingly isolated, as the honey bee, the environment, and human cultures. By focusing on one of these arenas, the honey bee in this thesis, we can learn about the forces that drive change within all these arenas. Additionally, historical archaeology can help us to trace the affects of change outside the source, so that a change in the honey bee population is understood to affect both human cultures and the environment. © Copyright by Brenda M Kellar May 4, 2004 All Rights Reserved One Methodology for the Incorporation of Entomological Material in the Discipline of Historic Archaeology Using the Honey Bee (ApismellferaL.) as a Test Subject.

SUMMARY Endemism is often misinterpreted as referring to narrow distributions (range restriction). In fact, a taxon is said to be endemic to an area if it lives there and nowhere else. The expression “endemic area” is used to identify the geographical area to which a taxon is native, whereas “area of endemism” indicates an area characterized by the overlapping distributions of two or more taxa. Among the methods used to identify areas of endemism, the optimality criterion seems to be more efficient than Parsimony Analysis of Endemism (PAE), although PAE may be useful to disclose hierarchical relationships among areas of endemism.
