On Madagascar, the ant genus Pheidole Westwood, 1839 is one of the dominant and most diverse ant genera. Modern studies on the diversity of Madagascan Pheidole has been initiated in 2019 and ended a 100 year-long break in studies on this genus from the island. Based on so far published data, there are 69 known Pheidole species on the island divided into sixteen species-groups. It is estimated that 97% of them are endemic. Here we present a revision of the sikorae species group, which appears to be the most species-rich on Madagascar. Forty-four members of this group are recognised and described, and an illustrated identification key to this group is also presented. At present, there are 109 valid species and subspecies of Pheidole known from Madagascar, but this number is expected to increase with upcoming taxonomic revisions of the species groups not revised in this study.

I had noticed in Madagascar that many things are called Mad. Would you trust yourself to Mad travel (it sounds rather like what I do), eat in Mad cafe or, a real worry for a white-knuckle flyer, take to the skies with Mad Air, as Air Madagascar is generally known?'In all her travels across the globe, Lydia Laube had always wanted to visit the intriguing island of Madagascar and meet its famous residents, the lemurs. So she hops aboard a French cargo ship, replete with cleaver-wielding cook, to begin a wayward journey. After escapades in Singapore, Egypt, Malta and Italy, Lydia eventually lands

Nineteenth-century highland Madagascar was a place inhabited by the dead as much as the living. Ghosts, ancestors and the possessed were important historical actors alongside local kings and queens, soldiers, traders and missionaries. This book considers the challenges that such actors pose for historical accounts of the past and for thinking about questions of presence and representation. How were the dead made present, and how were they recognized or not? In attending to these multifarious encounters of the nineteenth century, how might we reflect on the ways in which our own history-writing makes the dead present? To tackle these questions, Zoë Crossland tells an anthropological history of highland Madagascar from a perspective rooted in archaeology and Peircean semiotics, as well as in landscape study, oral history and textual sources.

Nitari-dàlana ho amin'ny fandalinana ny ara-kolontsainan'ny rafi-piaraha-monina any Mélanésie, lafiny jeografy, i Joël Bonnemaison. Tamin'ny faritra iray anivon'ny afovoan-tany malagasy, Tsarahonenana (Lemak'Ambohibary, Vakinankaratra) no nanombohany ny fikarohany. Roa polo taona taty aoriana dia niverina tamin'io faritra io i Chantai Blanc Pamard sy Hervé Rakoto Ramiarantsoa, mpikaroka amin'ny taranja jeografy, handinika izay fiovàna nisy nandritry izay fe-potoana izay. Maka lafiny roa ity fiverenana tany an-toerana ity : sady niantefa taminy Tsarahonenana no nijery akaiky an'Andranomangamanga, ilay « efitra » any antendrombohitr'Ankaratra nalain'ny mponina tamin'ny taona 1967. Ity boky ity dia maka endrika teny ifanakalozana amin'izay efa nosoratan'i Joël Bonnemaison. Maro ny loha-hevitra voavaofy ao, miainga avy amin'ny zavaniova hita maso : ny habetsahany mponina voavelon'ny faritra, ny fitantànan'ny eo an-toerana ny tontolo iainana, ny fomba fanao ho fanamasahana ny tany, ny heriny lasitra ara-kolontsaina, ny fitrangàn'ny fari-tany... Ny resaka fampandrosoana no fototra amin'izany rehetra izany. Mitantara ny fianarany ny fomba amam-panaon'ny mpandalina jeografy i Joël Bonnemaison, any amin'ny faran'ny boky, no sady milaza koa ny fahitany indray an'io toerana nanaovany fikarohana voalohany io. Ny heviny manokana mikasika ny fivoaran'ny eny ambanivohitra no velariny. Anisan'ny asa farany nosoratany ity boky ity. Ilay faritra malagasy tsy nohadinoiny no iantefan'izany, ary izay voasoratra dia tena mitondra fampianarana ny amin'ny atao hoe jeografy ara-kolontsaina. Maro ny sary voarakitra ao anatin'ny boky, ary ny mpiandany amy ny (University, ireo izay manana andraikitra amin'ny fampandrosoana, ary koa izay rehetra liana amin'ny tany an-dalam-pandrosoana no iantefany. Mampitohy ny omaly sy ny anio i Tsarahonenana no sady maneho endrika vaovao amin'ny fomba fiainan'ny any ambanivohitra, amin'ny tany an-dalam-pandrosoana. Avant de fonder une géographie…
