David Mearns <d_mearns@BANKS.NTU.EDU.AU> asked about references to work on
Madagascar. have you tried any bibliographic databases? there are lots.
I knew of one recently published article, just out, that might interest you
(and I believe more are coming from the source of this one!), on Madagascar:
