Evolution and Behavioural Ecology of Natural Predator Interactions Between Mongooses and Snakes
REFNo: NS398ES
The overall objective is to analyse interactions between mongooses and snakes using model presentations. I want to understand how anti-snake behaviour varies across mongoose species and between groups with different compositions (by age, dominance, experience and sociality). Furthermore, I will examine ecological effects on mongoose-snake interactions by a comparison across geographic areas in Africa with different ecosystems and different guilds and combinations of snake and mongoose species.
By carrying out model presentations to the banded mongooses in Uganda, I aim to achieve the following:
1. To characterise banded mongoose foraging and hunting behaviour on snakes by observing how individuals interact with models of different snake species and models of other prey items, recording their physical behaviour and vocalisations.
2. To investigate whether different stimuli of the snake models, specifically movement of the model or the addition of natural snake scent, cause differences in behaviour mongooses exhibit towards them.
3. To investigate whether response to snakes varies under different group and environmental factors, such as in different group sizes and compositions, at varying distance from den or cover, or when pups are present.
4. To examine if mongooses have individual-level patterns or ‘defensive personalities’ by relating behavioural observations with life-history data from the long-term records about the same mongoose individuals collected by the Banded Mongoose Project.

Transitional Justice Systems in Uganda
REFNo: SS28ES
To map out international and local transitional justice (TJ) initiatives from the perspective of locally based Ugandans. More concretely the researcher aims to contribute to the field substantively and methodologically. Substantively this study’s objectives are to: (1) explain how sub-regional TJ systems are understood in contextual terms, (2) explain how mainstream TJ is perceived by local actors within their respective system, (3) explain why local actors believe the mainstream is compatible with contextual approaches, if at all, and (4) explain why contextual actors interpret their respective sub-regional TJ system as they do. To help accomplish the substantive aims listed above this study includes the following methodological objectives: (1) to map sub-regional systems; (2) to gather oral and visual descriptions from participants to generate “system stories†that explain system behaviours; (3) to ask participants why they describe sub-regional systems as they do; and, (4) to develop conceptual models using visual mapping software and written text. Using this methodology, this study could also make substantive contributions to: explain how contextual systems are described in “post-liberal†terms, document preferred forms of interconnectivity between various approaches, as well as, similarities and differences among participants’ views.
