The article examines the process of transformation Kalmyk dwellings in context transition nomadic herders to settled life during Imperial and Soviet periods. It is noted that felt dwelling (“kibitka”) were built for permanent family residence had a range useful functions: accessibility, low cost materials (felt; with only some details made wood), ecological sustainability. authors report early ...

The birds of arid environments often exhibit nomadism, seasonal breeding and population fluctuations that respond to highly variable weather patterns. In this study we present data from a baseline bird survey in Bush Heritage Australia’s Pullen Reserve south-western Queensland. We conducted surveys (October–November 2018, May 2019) 40 sites representing Spinifex (Triodia spp.) grasslands, compl...

We present Sensei a nomadic, or relocatable, wireless sensor network (WSN) testbed with support for mobile nodes. The nomadism makes it possible to evaluate a WSN application in different environments ranging from lab environment to in-situ installations to prototype deployments. Other WSN testbeds are often static and can not be easily moved between sites. To be easily relocateable and highly ...

The nomadism/pastoralism debate has always been closely connected to discourses about modernization theories whenever development issues were at stake. While the mainstream debates have changed since stage models apparently became outdated, it is surprising that the Chinese development model seems to adhere to classical modernization theory. Consequently, it appears worthwhile to consider prese...

-We compare long-term movement behavior, breeding site philopatry, population dynamics and prey choice of White Ibises (Eudocimus albus) and Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) in order to illustrate (1) differences in strategies for exploiting spatially and temporally unpredictable food resources in wetlands of the southeastern U.S., and (2) the temporal and geographic scale at which conservation...

abstract focusing on geographic and environmental factors, this article discusses recent recurring shifts in the mode of subsistence – from transhumant to sedentary pastoralism – observed among the bakhtiaris of central zagros. the article suggests that the evolutionary changes have been part of an adaptation strategy followed by bakhtiari communities in the face of new environmental conditions...
