Lessons from Case Studies Applying the MARISCO Approach Dedicate Research Time and Effort Towards the Project MARISCO has been successfully used in a wide range of situations including conservation projects involving mapping complex situations for the purpose of informing management of conservation sites. It has also been applied in the fi eld of MARISCO: adaptive MAnagement of development cooperation and applied conservation vulnerability and RISk at COnservation sites research, and as an aid to teaching students about effective conservation planning. From the time it was fi rst developed from 2010 onwards, the MARISCO method has been applied extensively to Lessons from case studies applying a wide range of socio-ecological situations across the globe. Projects and (teaching) workshops the MARISCO approach have been carried out in Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Peru); in Central and Western Europe (Germany, Russia, United Kingdom and Ukraine); Eastern and southeastern Europe (Albania, with participants from Kosovo and Montenegro; Georgia); in Africa (Namibia); and Asia (Altai mountains comprising territories in Russia and Kazakhstan; China, Korea and Malaysia).

Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

Of the 48 species previously considered valid in the subfamily, only one, Centromochlus steindachneri, was not evaluated in the present study. The phylogenetic analysis generated two most parsimonious trees, each with 202 steps, that support the monophyly of Centromochlinae composed of five valid genera: Glanidium, Gephyromochlus, Gelanoglanis, Centromochlus and Tatia. Although those five genera form a clade sister to the monotypic Pseudotatia, we exclude Pseudotatia from Centromochlinae. The parsimony analysis placed Glanidium (six species) as the sister group to all other species of Centromochlinae. Gephyromochlus contained a single species, Gephyromochlus leopardus, that is sister to the clade Gelanoglanis (five species) + Centromochlus (eight species).

  • Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America
    Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America Dr. Xavier Silva, Director, IDB-TNC Ecoregional Project, South America. Teacher and Lecturer, San Francisco de Quito University. Board Member, OÏKOS Foundation Abstract—A monitoring system plan is being developed in South America to assess critically endangered ecoregions. The system will be based on a previous ecosystem and biodiversity inventory developed through a large gap analysis program in five South American ecoregions. The monitoring system will include three main elements: (1) Landscape Ecology: vegetation cover, fragmentation and deforestation, infrastruc- ture (road, dams, pipelines); (2) Biological guidelines: species richness, endemism, endangered species and species of a particular interest; and (3) Conservation Policy and Socio-Economic guidelines: national protected areas systems, conservation policies, human population on important areas, main economic activities and other. Such a sys- tem is an important need for governments and private organizations in South America, especially to detect critical sites and socio-political issues before the environmental problems become too large. Introduction and Background Among the results, 6,473 species of flora and fauna have been analyzed (each one with a map indicating it’s Environmental surveillance at a continental scale is potential geographic distribution), and over 6,500 the- an important conservation requirement in vast territo- matic maps have been produced, indicating vegetation ries, such as in South America, where large and diverse types, centers of high diversity and endemism, current ecoregions are being altered by a number of unsustainable and potential threats, forest fragmentation, infrastructure, location of protected areas, and basic socio-economical development practices (Busch and Trexler 2003, World information.

We used thick blood films to examine 921 individuals in 35 riverine communities along the Pauini and Purus Rivers. Simuliids were caught in several communities. Flies were identified, stained with haematoxylin and dissected. Overall, 44 (24.86%) of 177 riverines were infected in communities on the Pauini River and 183 (24.19%) of 744 on the Purus. The preva- lence was higher in men (31.81% and 29.82%) than in women (17.98% and 19.18%) and occurred in most age groups. The prevalence increased sharply in the 28-37 (50% and 42.68%) age group and increased in the older age classes. The highest prevalence was in farmers (44% and 52.17%, respectively) in the Pauini and Purus Rivers. Only Cer- queirellum amazonicum (Simuliidae) transmits M. ozzardi in this municipality, and we found a PIR of 0-8.43% and infectivity rate of 0-3.61%. These results confirm that rates of M.

Box 94248, 1090 GE Amsterdam, The Netherlands. *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Key words: avulsion, civil defence, dispersal barrier, flood, Rio Madeira, rain forest, species distribution Abstract The scene for regional biogeography and human settlements in Central Amazonia is set by the river network, which presumably consolidated in the Pliocene. However, we present geomorphological and sediment chronological data showing that the river network has been anything but stable. Even during the last 50 kyr, the tributary relationships have repeatedly changed for four major rivers, together corresponding to one third of the discharge of the Amazon. The latest major river capture event converted the Japurá from a tributary of the Rio Negro to a tributary of the Amazon only 1000 years ago. Such broad-scale lability implies that rivers cannot have been as efficient biogeographical dispersal barriers as has generally been assumed, but that their effects on human societies can have been even more profound. Climate change and deforestation scenarios predict increasing water levels during peak floods, which will likely increase the risk of future river avulsions.

  • Mapping the Funding Landscape for Biodiversity Conservation in Peru
    MAPPING THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN PERU BY KATIA SOFIA NAKAMURA LAM THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Daniel C. Miller, Adviser Associate Professor Richard Brazee Dr. Anthony Waldron, National University of Singapore ABSTRACT Financial resources are crucial to effective biodiversity conservation. Globally, research shoWs that conservation-related eXpenditures are directed toWards countries of high biodiversity importance, even as funding floWs are Well beloW estimates of financial need. The absence of sufficient funding makes the effective and efficient use of the available resources even more imperative. Empirical evidence on previous funding floWs is necessary to develop a baseline for comparison, identification of funding gaps, and assessment of ultimate impacts. To date, hoWever, knoWledge of the distribution of funding Within countries remains very limited. This study, therefore, analyzes the conservation funding landscape in Peru, a mega-diverse country, to shed light on the nature and trends of support for biodiversity and the factors shaping funding allocation at the sub-national level. I carried out desk-based and field research to collect as much data as possible on conservation finance in Peru from 2009, the year the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment Was founded, to 2015, the last year for which full data were available. Information collected covered a range of public and private, domestic and international sources. Overall, I found that 19% of the funding for conservation in Peru derived from domestic sources and 81% from international ones during the study period.
