No Podemos Comer Billetes: Climate Change and Development in Southern Ecuador NO PODEMOS COMER BILLETES: CLIMATE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN ECUADOR by Lisa Coffield DePaoli B.A. in Psychology and Anthropology, California University of Pennsylvania, 2000 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of Pittsburgh 2011 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Department of Anthropology This dissertation was presented by Lisa Coffield DePaoli It was defended on October 12, 2011 and approved by Dissertation Advisor: Richard Scaglion, PhD, Professor, Department of Anthropology Andrew Strathern, PhD, Professor, Department of Anthropology James Richardson, PhD, Professor, Department of Anthropology Mark Abbott, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Geology and Planetary Sciences María-Auxiliadora Cordero, PhD, Research Associate, Department of Anthropology ii Copyright © by Lisa Coffield DePaoli 2011 iii NO PODEMOS COMER BILLETES: CLIMATE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN ECUADOR Lisa Coffield DePaoli, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 This project investigates the relationship between autochthonous people and immigrants in a valley of southern Ecuador, specifically in terms of climate change and related moves toward sustainable development. The landscape and environment are frequent topics of conversation, especially concerning the increasingly dry climate. Engagements between individuals often result in dynamic relationships in which people take active steps to curtail human impacts, such as developing new land-use and livelihood strategies. Southern Ecuador has historically experienced the effects of periodic drought, and land degradation is exacerbating the problem. This and other factors, including the relative isolation and lack of rural development in Loja province and the overall economic situation in Ecuador, has resulted in large-scale migration of Ecuadorians from the province of Loja. Paradoxically, the valley in which fieldwork was carried out is also known as the Valley of Longevity and has attracted immigrants from various other countries. Some of these expatriates have lived in the valley for long periods of time and have developed working relationships with Ecuadorians that have proved beneficial in terms of development. iv This dissertation is the result of 13 months of ethnographic fieldwork that included participant observation, formal and informal interviews, and the analysis of written materials. The project focused specifically on how the local-nonlocal relationship impacts livelihoods, land use change, sustainability, and the perception of and attention to issues surrounding climate change. These themes help us to understand the distributional consequences of changes in agri-food systems, and have led to concern over where food is going to come from because, as some informants have said, “no podemos comer billetes ” (we can’t eat dollar bills). Research shows that the social heterogeneity of the valley fosters mutual learning and benefits and contributes to more varied views of the natural environment and of the use of natural resources. This project demonstrates how responses to climate change and land degradation may be integrated into emerging sustainable development strategies, particularly important because human activity will both drive and mediate the impact of climate change during the next century. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ACRONYMS ...........................................................................................................

A new species of Bryconamericus (Characiformes, Stevardiinae, Characidae) from the Pacific coast of northwestern Ecuador, South America. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 38.2: 241–252, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/ abc.2015.38.0241 Abstract A new species of Bryconamericus (Characiformes, Stevardiinae, Characidae) from the Pacific coast of northwes- tern Ecuador, South America.— A new species of Bryconamericus (Characiformes, Characidae, Stevardiinae) is described from the Pacific coast of northwestern Ecuador, South America. The new species is distinguished from all congeners by the presence in males of bony hooks on the caudal fin rays (vs. absence). The different layers of pigment that constitute the humeral spots have differing degrees of development and structure that are independent of each other. Brown melanophores are distributed in a thin, vertical, superficial layer of the epithelium (layer 1) and in another deeper (layer 2) that overlaps the first and is centered over the lateral–line. B. ecuadorensis has a horizontally oval or elliptical shape layer 2 pigment in the anterior humeral spot (vs. a rectangular or circular layer 2). The new species further differs in having an anterior extension of the caudal peduncle spot (vs. no anterior extension of the caudal peduncle spot) and by having a dark lateral stripe overlaid by the peduncular spot and by the regularly distributed pigmentation on scales on the sides of the body (vs.

  • Discursive and Practical Challenges in Global Health: Pesticide- Related Health Impacts in Ecuadorian Banana Production
    DISCURSIVE AND PRACTICAL CHALLENGES IN GLOBAL HEALTH: PESTICIDE- RELATED HEALTH IMPACTS IN ECUADORIAN BANANA PRODUCTION by BENJAMIN WESLEY BRISBOIS B.Sc. McGill University, 2001 M.E.S. York University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Healthcare and Epidemiology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Benjamin Wesley Brisbois, 2014 Abstract This dissertation aims to inform more equitable and effective practice in the emerging field of global health. To address this overriding question of how principles of equity and effectiveness can best be implemented, I critically analyze discursive and practical challenges facing Northern researchers as they approach health problems in the global South, and explore solutions to these challenges. This exploration employs a case study on the articulation of a specific problem in a specific, nominally ‘Southern’, setting: pesticide- related health effects in Ecuador's banana-producing El Oro province. I employ three methodological approaches, in three substantive chapters. Chapter 2 uses discourse analysis to understand how Latin American research sites are framed in peer-reviewed pesticide epidemiology articles. These articles often employ geographic representations of Latin America as inexplicably underdeveloped to demonstrate the need for pesticide research and health sector interventions, typically exhibiting ‘mainstream’ (Northern) public health institutional dynamics. I also show how some epidemiologists are pursuing more politically engaged approaches, in an uneasy negotiation with epidemiology's disciplinary norms. Chapter 3 reports on ethnographic pesticide risk perception work in El Oro, drawing on theories from anthropology and human geography.

    OUT-MIGRATION AND RURAL LIVELIHOODS IN THE SOUTHERN ECUADORIAN ANDES Clark Langston Gray A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Thomas Whitmore Richard Bilsborrow Chirayath Suchindran Stephen Walsh Wendy Wolford ©2008 Clark Langston Gray ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT CLARK GRAY: Out-Migration and Rural Livelihoods in the Southern Ecuadorian Andes (Under the direction of Thomas Whitmore) This work draws on approaches from migration studies and population- environment research to investigate the drivers and consequences of rural out-migration in the southern Ecuadorian Andes, with a focus on connections to agriculture, the environment, and gender. Rural out-migration represents one of the primary forms of human population redistribution over the past century and is an important form of livelihood diversification for many rural households in the developing world. Out- migration commonly occurs in a context of land scarcity or environmental degradation and agricultural production may be further undermined by the loss of household labor to migration, but few quantitative studies have investigated these connections. To address these issues I conducted a household survey in a probability sample of 36 rural communities in southern Loja Province, Ecuador. The survey collected life histories for migrants and non-migrants as well as cross-sectional and retrospective information on household assets and livelihood activities. The household survey was supplemented by a community-level survey and the construction of a geographic information system that provided contextual information.

  • Successful Malaria Elimination in the Ecuador–Peru Border Region: Epidemiology and Lessons Learned Lyndsay K
    Krisher et al. Malar J (2016) 15:573 DOI 10.1186/s12936-016-1630-x Malaria Journal CASE STUDY Open Access Successful malaria elimination in the Ecuador–Peru border region: epidemiology and lessons learned Lyndsay K. Krisher1, Jesse Krisher2, Mariano Ambuludi3, Ana Arichabala3, Efrain Beltrán‑Ayala3,4, Patricia Navarrete3, Tania Ordoñez3, Mark E. Polhemus2, Fernando Quintana5, Rosemary Rochford6, Mercy Silva3, Juan Bazo7 and Anna M. Stewart‑Ibarra2* Abstract Background: In recent years, malaria (Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum) has been successfully con‑ trolled in the Ecuador–Peru coastal border region. The aim of this study was to document this control effort and to identify the best practices and lessons learned that are applicable to malaria control and to other vector-borne diseases. A proximal outcome evaluation was conducted of the robust elimination programme in El Oro Province, Ecuador, and the Tumbes Region, Peru. Data collection efforts included a series of workshops with local public health experts who played central roles in the elimination effort, review of epidemiological records from Ministries of Health, and a review of national policy documents. Key programmatic and external factors are identified that determined the success of this eradication effort. Case description: From the mid 1980s until the early 2000s, the region experienced a surge in malaria transmission, which experts attributed to a combination of ineffective anti-malarial treatment, social-ecological factors (e.g., El Niño, increasing rice farming, construction of a reservoir), and political factors (e.g., reduction in resources and changes in management). In response to the malaria crisis, local public health practitioners from El Oro and Tumbes joined together in the mid-1990s to forge an unofficial binational collaboration for malaria control.

  • Indigenous Peoples and State Formation in Modern Ecuador
    1 Indigenous Peoples and State Formation in Modern Ecuador A. KIM CLARK AND MARC BECKER The formal political system is in crisis in Ecuador: the twentieth century ended with a four-year period that saw six different governments. Indeed, between 1997 and 2005, four of nine presidents in Latin America who were removed through irregular procedures were in Ecuador.1 Sociologist Leon Zamosc calls Ecuador “one of the most, if not the most, unstable country in Latin America.”2 At the same time, the Ecuadorian Indian movement made important gains in the last decade of the twentieth century, and for at least some sectors of society, at the turn of the twenty-first century had more pres- tige than traditional politicians did. The fact that Ecuador has a national-level indigenous organization sets it apart from other Latin American countries. National and international attention was drawn to this movement in June 1990, when an impressive indigenous uprising paralyzed the country for sev- eral weeks. Grassroots members of the Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador (CONAIE, Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador) marched on provincial capitals and on Quito, kept their agricul- tural produce off the market, and blocked the Pan-American Highway, the country’s main north-south artery. The mobilization was organized to draw attention to land disputes in the Ecuadorian Amazon (Oriente) and highlands (Sierra), and ended when the government agreed to negotiate a 16-point agenda presented by CONAIE.3 Since 1990, Ecuadorian Indians have become increasingly involved in national politics, not just through “uprising politics,” but also through 1 © 2007 University of Pittsburgh Press.

    12 Lost Languages of the Peruvian North Coast LOST LANGUAGES LANGUAGES LOST ESTUDIOS INDIANA 12 LOST LANGUAGES ESTUDIOS INDIANA OF THE PERUVIAN NORTH COAST COAST NORTH PERUVIAN THE OF This book is about the original indigenous languages of the Peruvian North Coast, likely associated with the important pre-Columbian societies of the coastal deserts, but poorly documented and now irrevocably lost Sechura and Tallán in Piura, Mochica in Lambayeque and La Libertad, and further south Quingnam, perhaps spoken as far south as the Central Coast. The book presents the original distribution of these languages in early colonial Matthias Urban times, discusses available and lost sources, and traces their demise as speakers switched to Spanish at different points of time after conquest. To the extent possible, the book also explores what can be learned about the sound system, grammar, and lexicon of the North Coast languages from the available materials. It explores what can be said on past language contacts and the linguistic areality of the North Coast and Northern Peru as a whole, and asks to what extent linguistic boundaries on the North Coast can be projected into the pre-Columbian past.
