“…Prompted by the colonial and, later on, postcolonial authorities, inhabitants from the neighboring countries, as well as people from other parts of Ivory Coast, continue to migrate to forest areas. These flows are highly correlated with the evolution of pioneer fronts that mark the progress of deforestation, first South-East to East Central and Central-West to the South-West (Koffi et al 2014).…”

Cultural heterogeneity is considered to be a plausible explanatory factor in the management of natural resources. We show that the capability approach can nuance this argument. By contextualizing the role of cultural heterogeneity, arguing that inequalities of opportunity often take precedence over cultural differences, we show how the capability approach modifies the role of this factor. We then underline that cultural heterogenity is often a mask for differences in opportunities based on three dimensions of power: strategic power, institutional power, and domination power.Keywords community-based natural resource management, equity and sustainability, human behavior in the environment, inequalities, parks and protected areas Management of natural resources with local communities has been promoted as a goal for pursuing nature conservation and socioeconomic development. Nevertheless, Kellert et al. (2010) underline that despite sincere attempts, serious deficiencies are frequent. Many factors play a role in the capacity of communities to manage resources in a sustainable manner. As Poteete and Ostrom (2004) point out, some degree of consensus has been forged around all the variables that facilitate the joint management of resources, but the question of heterogeneity of the community group remains very problematic. Baland and Platteau (1999) vigorously advocated the role of cultural inequalities, but also of the inequalities that result from differences in economic

“…In this context, many politicians consider that banishing the ''outsiders'' from the forest would achieve both ecological and economic benefits since this would restrict the overproduction of cocoa (Koffi 2005). This often degenerates into conflicts as young people from different backgrounds are claiming land as their own (Koffi et al 2014).…”

Anhemialges suteui n. sp. (Astigmata: Analgidae: Analginae) is described from the green hylia Hylia prasina (Cassin) (Passeriformes, Macrosphenidae) in Ivory Coast. The new species differs from the closest species, Anhemialges mironovi Kolarova, 2010, by the following features: in both sexes, solenidion σ on genu II is modified and widened in a form of leaf; dorsal setae c2, d2 and e2 are longer; and sternum and epimerites II are thinner. In males of the new species ambulacral discs of legs IV extend beyond the level of the lobar apices; in females, dorsal setae c2, d2 and e2 are situated on small oval shields and the anterior margin of epigynum exceeds the level of mesal extremities of epimerites II.

Two new feather mite species of the family Pteronyssidae Oudemans, 1941 collected from birds captured in Ivory Coast are described: Pteronyssoides cyanomitrae n. sp. from Cyanomitra obscura (Jardine) (Passeriformes: Nectariniidae) and Conomerus pygmaeus n. sp. from Hylia prasina (Cassin) (Passeriformes: Macrosphenidae). Pteronyssoides cyanomitrae n. sp. belongs to the nectariniae species group and differs from the closest species, P. garioui Gaud & Mouchet, 1959, in having, in males, the adanal shield present and setae f longer than setae d on the tarsus III; females of this species have the hysteronotal shield with two small median incisions on the anterior margin barely extending beyond the level of setae e2. Conomerus pygmaeus n. sp. is the first species of this genus found on a passerine host, and seems to be more similar to C. sclerosternus Gaud, 1990. This new species has the following distinctive characters: in females, the opisthosoma has small lobe-like extensions and the central sclerite is fused posteriorly with the lateral opisthosomal sclerites; in males, coxal fields I-IV lack large sclerotised areas.
