Murphy documents the adaptation of a culture based on riverine forested environments to a marine-based subsistence. A trigger of the transition was population growth.
The authors examine previously unstudied stratigraphic associations to investigate the claim that Australian megafauna was destroyed through rapid overkill by newly arrived humans.
The authors infer the presence and population size of paleoeskimos on western Victoria Island and suggest that a rapid decline of population size was due to an overhunting of musk-ox.
Using historical chronologies the authors study the historical human-environment interaction, including the effect of human activities and climate change on hazard magnitude and frequency
The author reconstructs population size for a 170-year period using genealogical data, land clearance patterns and garden inheritance histories.
This paper introduces a model of population behavior that includes competition between groups, individual reproductive choice, spatial and temporal variation in resource abundance, and access and ownership of resources.
The author suggests that indigenous populations that use simple technologies in subsistence economies are not necessarily conservation-friendly. The case of the Huaorani Indians of Ecuador is presented as an example of how conservation is a social process.
Authors study resource conflicts and resolution practices in 6 districts of Nepal using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
The authors describe the environmental consequences of increasing house and decreasing household sizes in the US.
