Abstract:
Madagascar and the Seychelles are Gondwanan remnants currently isolated in the Indian Ocean. In the Late Cretaceous, these islands were joined with India to form the Indigascar landmass, which itself then split into its three component parts around the start of the Tertiary. This history is reflected in the biota of the Seychelles, which appears to contain examples of both vicariance- and dispersal-mediated divergence from Malagasy or Indian sister taxa. One lineage for which this has been assumed but never thoroughly tested is the Seychellean tiger chameleon, a species assigned to the otherwi

Abstract:
Census and other demographic data are used to estimate the volume of the illegal slave trade to Mauritius and the Seychelles from Madagascar and the East African coast between 1811 and c. 1827. The structure and dynamics of this illicit traffic, as well as governmental attempts to suppress it, are also discussed. The Mauritian and Seychellois trade is revealed to have played a greater role in shaping Anglo-Merina and Anglo-Omani relations between 1816 and the early 1820s than previously supposed. Domestic economic considerations, together with British pressure on the trade's sources of supply,

Abstract:
SummaryThe once ‘Critically Endangered’ Seychelles Magpie-robin was down to just 12 individuals in 1960 on one island of the granitic Seychelles. In 2015, due to intensive long-term management the population stands at around 280 birds on five islands, marking a significant success for this species. Translocations to the islands of Cousin and Cousine have led to population saturation and stability, a translocation to Denis Island has resulted in a continuing population increase and the founder population on Frégate Island is likewise increasing. The latest translocation to Aride Island in 2002

Abstract:
As globalisation enhances the international mobility of teachers, Seychelles has experienced a notable rise in the number of foreign teachers in its state secondary schools, with foreign nationals comprising 59% of national history teachers in 2023. The study investigated students’ perspectives on local and foreign history teachers in Seychelles' secondary schools, examining firstly, students' preference for local or foreign history teachers and secondly, students' perception of local and foreign teachers' effective teaching in terms of emotional, behavioural, and instructional support and nat

Abstract:
For long Asantehene Agyeman Prempe I (1888-1931) has had a curious, almost unenviable reputation that is in many respects undeserving. His memory in both oral and written records is one that is inexorably linked to the British occupation and colonization of Asante and the concomitant exile which he suffered. In other words, Agyeman Prempe is remembered more for his failures—his inability to retain Asante sovereignty—than for his accomplishments. However, new evidence coming to light since the 1970s is increasingly enabling the historian of Asante to offer a more accurate assessment of Prempe I

Abstract:
Section 30 of the Seychelles Prisons Act provides that the sentences of all prisoners, except those sentenced to life imprisonment or convicted of drug-related offenses of an aggravated nature, can be remitted. Section 31 of the Prisons Act empowers the Superintendent of Prisons to grant a prisoner a license to be at large. Before 2021, Seychelles law was silent on the issue of whether a person sentenced to life imprisonment had to spend the rest of his/her life in prison. As a result, offenders sentenced to life imprisonment were released after serving between 15 and 20 years. Dissatisfied wi

Cette pratique, presque absente sur le terrain, est nommée moutya otantik par les Seychellois.

Abstract Many people have no particular objection to (nor, sadly, any great interest in) an evolutionary analysis of helping at the nest in Seychelles warblers or sperm competition in damselflies. But as soon as the conversation turns to evolution and human beings, voices are raised and strong opinions fly through the air with the greatest of ease. As mentioned earlier, E. 0. Wilson almost surely would have avoided the brickbats that came his way had he simply omitted the last chapter of Sociobiology. But since he had analyzed human social behavior from an evolutionary perspective, he stimulat
