The Malagasy Mountain Programme: Understanding Madagascar's High-Elevation Systems Under Global Change
Worldwide, high-elevation and high-latitude systems are experiencing the effects of global change faster than elsewhere, but there are limited data on the rate and impact of this change in Malagasy mountains. Reaching 2876 m, these mountains are some of the least-studied areas on the island of Madagascar. The Malagasy Mountain Programme aims to attract greater national and international interest in Malagasy mountains as social-ecological systems …

Subfossil lemur discoveries from the Beanka Protected Area in western Madagascar
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 represent considerable range extensions. Extant …
A Review of the Eliurus tanala Complex (Rodentia: (Muroidea: Nesomyidae), with Description of a New Species from Dry Forests of Western Madagascar
Based on 372 specimens examined, we integrated information from two mitochondrial and four nuclear gene sequences, morphological comparisons and morphometric analyses, as well as distributional patterns and ecological occurrences to revise the Eliurus tanala species group (Nesomyinae), a rodent complex endemic to Madagascar's forests. These evidentiary sources generally proved concordant, supporting description of a new species, E. tsingimbato, i…

A new subfossil locality for the extinct large Malagasy eagle Stephanoaetus mahery (Aves: (Falconiformes): Implications for time of extinction and ecological specificity
We report on the second known locality for a large Malagasy eagle, Stephanoaetus mahery, that went extinct during the Holocene. This nearly complete skeleton comes from Ankilitelo Cave, a deep vertical pitfall shaft in the southwestern lowland portion of the island and in the subarid bioclimatic zone. The specimen was radiocarbon dated to 5550 ± 30 BP (Beta-415922). The holotype of this species comes from Ampasambazimba in the Central Highlands, …

Early Seafarers of the Comoro Islands: The Dembeni Phase of the IXth-Xth Centuries AD
Although previous volumes of Azania have carried articles and notes on Madagascar and Mozambique as well as allusions to the Comoro Islands (as in Derek Nurse's study of Swahili linguistic history in XVIII), this is the first article specifically on the Archipelago. Being concerned with the earliest recognised human settlements on the Comores, which show similarities to the earliest levels at Kilwa, Manda and Shanga on the African coast with thei…
