The molecular mechanisms underlying local adaptation to high elevation habitats in the honey bee Apis mellifera
REFNo: NS350ES
The overall objective is to obtain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that have driven the local adaption of mountain honey bees.
The research plan is divided into a sequence of different complementary approaches that will
1.) Unravel the evolutionary history of chromosomal rearranged regions contributing to the genetic differentiation of mountain honeybees,
2.) Gain insight into key regulators and gene networks underlying the local adaption of honeybees,
3.) Specifically analyze the role of octopamine ? receptors and further candidate genes as key players for local adaptation to elevation (mainly temperature) in honey bees.

Assessment of Alternative Rites of Passage Interventions implemented by UNFPA/UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation in Uganda
REFNo: SS1352ES
Specific objective 4: Assess the impact and sustainability of ARPs in fostering FGM abandonment and promoting egalitarian gender norms, attitudes, and behaviours among community members, by: a) assessing whether previous ARP cohorts have sustained any changes b) assessing whether communities who have undergone or are undergoing ARPs have the commitment and capacity to continue ARPs (rather than FGM) c)identifying lessons for replication/scaling up of ARP interventions (including, for example, what needs to be in place for particular ARPs to be implemented in future or in other contexts),Specific objective 3: Assess the effectiveness of ARPs in achieving positive outcomes, including: a) increasing girls’ knowledge of FGM-related issues including sexual and reproductive health, prevention of gender-based violence, and child marriage b) Promoting positive attitudes and behaviours among girls in relation to FGM and sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and child marriage. c) promoting social norm change within communities, including promoting egalitarian gender norms among girls, boys, parents, elders and community leaders,Specific objective 2: Assess the coherence (in terms of compatibility) of ARPs with other interventions to end FGM by implementing partners or other stakeholders in the geographical region, including by: a) identifying synergies and interlinkages between ARPs and other interventions to end FGM that are either carried out within or are expected to affect the same communities b) analysing the extent to which other interventions (including, for example, policy advocacy) support or undermine ARPs, and vice versa c )assess the consistency of the intervention with other interventions in/affecting the same contexts, including coordination with others, and the extent to which the intervention is adding value while avoiding duplication of effort,Specific objective 1: Assess the relevance of ARPs to the aim of eliminating FGM, by: a) describing the context of ARP interventions, with specific attention paid to the significance and symbolic meaning within communities of girls’ initiation rites or coming of age ceremonies b) identifying the intervention models (operating structure and procedures) of ARPs, and the roles of various community institutions and actors (such as parents, and religious and community leaders) engaged in ARPs c) analyzing if (and why/why not) specific ARPs meet community needs and are a relevant approach to include in programming to eliminate FGM d) analyzing the extent to which framing interventions as an ARP bring added value, over and above delivering the intervention under non-ARP rubric (including, for example, exploring whether framing life skills courses with graduation ceremonies as ARPs brings added value, or whether it introduces extra risk of the intervention being rejected),The primary objective of this evaluation is to provide an assessment of whether ARPs ‘work’ has been successful in promoting FGM abandonment, based on evidence of their relevance, coherence, effectiveness, impact and sustainability.,

PEOPLE & PRIMATES: A BIO-GEO-CULTURAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING HUMAN-WILDLIFE INTERACTION
REFNo: NS120ES
We use a multidisciplinary bio-geo-cultural approach to examine the causes and consequences of perceived costs and benefits of human-wildlife interaction in different ecological and cultural settings to ultimately improve protection of biodiversity through mitigation of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) and sustained engagement with local communities at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda and Lewa-Borana Conservancy, Kenya. Specifically, our objectives are to: I) explore the role of landscape characteristics and ecological factors in understanding the behaviour and movement of vervet monkeys, II) evaluate community perceptions of wildlife and research in two villages in Uganda (Bbaale & Bukakata) and one in Kenya (Manyangalo), III) compare community perceptions of crop damage caused by wildlife to objective measurements of crop-foraging behaviour, and IV) develop community-relationships to facilitate long-term sociocultural and biological research on human-wildlife interaction and promote conservation via community outreach.
