Crop losses from elephants are one of the primary obstacles to the coexistence of elephants and people and one of the contributing causes to elephant population decline. Understanding if some individuals in an elephant population are more likely to forage on crops, and the temporal patterns of elephant visits to farms, is key to mitigating the negative impacts of elephants on farmers. We used camera traps as a novel technique to study elephant crop foraging behaviour in farmland adjacent to t...

The impact of high bandwidth video links on children’s abilities to give evidence about a neutral event was investigated. Thirty-two six year olds and 32 ten year olds took part. Each child was interviewed by a trained adult either face-to-face or across a live video link. Face-to-face and video condition interviews did not differ in terms of: total correct information; relevant information given during narrative recall; or the style of questioning required. However significantly more incorre...

The idea that culture comprises resources which are used has become a popular means to re-conceptualise the culture-agency antinomy. However, the theorisation of using resources is fragmented. The present article reviews several attempts to theorise resources, arguing that there has been too much focus upon the resources themselves while the notion of use has been neglected. Focusing upon mode of use, as opposed to the resources used, the article underscores the importance of distinguishing b...

Intersubjectivity refers to the variety of possible relations between perspectives. It is indispensable for understanding human social behaviour. While theoretical work on intersubjectivity is relatively sophisticated, methodological approaches to studying intersubjectivity lag behind. Most methodologies assume that individuals are the unit of analysis. In order to research intersubjectivity, however, methodologies are needed that take relationships as the unit of analysis. The first aim of t...
