Abstract:
In this essay, Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández reflects on the comments made in a forum convened to reflect on his article “Why the Arts Don't Do Anything: Toward a New Vision for Cultural Production in Education,” published in the Harvard Educational Review (HER)'s special issue entitled Expanding Our Vision for the Arts in Education (Vol. 83, No. 1). Participants in the forum (published in HER Vol. 83, No.3) were John Abodeely, manager of national partnerships, John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts, Washington, DC; Ken Cole, associate director, National Guild for Community Arts Education, New York City; Janna Graham, project curator of the Serpentine Gallery, Centre for Possible Studies, London; Ayanna N. Hudson, director of arts education, National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, DC; and Carmen Mörsch, head of the Research Institute for Art Education, Zurich University of the Arts. In his original essay, Gaztambide-Fernández makes the case that advocacy for arts education is trapped within a “rhetoric of effects” that relies too heavily on causal arguments for the arts, whether construed as instrumental or intrinsic. Gaztambide- Fernández further argues that what counts as “the arts” is based on traditional, Eurocentric, hierarchical notions of aesthetic experience. As an alternative, he suggests a “rhetoric of cultural production” that would focus on the cultural processes and experiences that ensue in particular contexts shaped by practices of symbolic work and creativity. Here the author engages the forum's discussion in an effort to clarify his argument and move the dialogue forward.

Abstract:
AbstractThe relationships between the predatory mites, Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) and Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), and their prey, western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), were investigated to determine the effects of predation on intra-guild or extra-guild prey and predator preference. Life history characteristics of both predatory mites were measured when fed eggs and larvae of the other predator species and compared to data obtained when the predators were fed thrips larvae. In addition, choice tests were conducted to determine if the predators had a preference for different prey or if they were indiscriminate predators. Amblyseius swirskii appears to be an important intra-guild predator of N. cucumeris juveniles because of a high predation rate and a preference for N. cucumeris juveniles over thrips. Neoseiulus cucumeris is also an intra-guild predator of A. swirskii juveniles; however, it has a lower predation rate than A. swirskii. Contrary to intra-guild predation theory, intra-guild prey was an equally good or better food source than thrips (extra-guild prey) for both predators, based on high oviposition rates and fast development times. The results of this study indicate a high potential for negative interactions between A. swirskii and N. cucumeris when used together in biological control of thrips.

Abstract:To clarify the potential influence of different browsers in the same guild on woody vegetation, dietary overlap and separation between elephant, giraffe, kudu, nyala and impala was assessed in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa. Woody species browsed, browsing heights, plant-parts browsed and browsing versus grazing were recorded over 2 y by direct observation. We obtained 3068 browse records. Niche breadth (Levins' measure) and overlap (Schoener's index) in species browsed and browsing heights were calculated. Annual and seasonal differences in these measurements, plant-part use and browsing versus grazing were assessed. Elephant utilized the largest number (n = 78) of different woody plant species. Overlap in species browsed was lower between elephant and other browsers than amongst the latter. Seasonal rainfall influenced the range of woody plants utilized, niche breadth in terms of species browsed and browsing versus grazing. Marked resource depletion caused elephant, contrary to theoretical predictions, to narrow niche breadth in terms of species browsed. However, resource depletion rarely had a significant effect on interspecific overlap in species browsed or overlap in browsing heights, on actual browsing heights or plant-parts utilized. A small suite (n = 8) of woody species formed the core diet of all guild members, implying the potential for synergistic impacts by guild members on these species and for competition between populations of different guild members.

Abstract:
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the most popular massively multiplayer online games. Previous studies have found evidence of in-game and offline social support among WoW players; however, the interplay of different types of social support such as informational and emotional support among this cohort has not been examined. This study used a reciprocal social support perspective to explore the system-level relationships among different types of social support in a sample of WoW players (N=181). Using network analysis, two major types of social support, informational and emotional, given and received within WoW and offline systems were included as model indicators. Social support networks of guild and non-guild members were compared. Clear separation was found between offline and in-game social support. Informational support played a key role in all networks but differences in the social support networks were identified between guild and non-guild members. These findings indicate dynamics between different types of social support overlooked in previous studies. By revealing such dynamics, network analysis has been shown as a promising tool for evidencing the subtle dynamics between distinct constructs.

Abstract:
Abstract:Resource depletion and associated increases in interspecific competition are likely to influence differential habitat usage amongst a guild. We tested some prominent theoretical concepts using observed differences in seasonal habitat use amongst the savanna browser guild (elephant, giraffe, impala, kudu and nyala) in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa. Herbivore locations (n = 3108) were recorded over 2 y using repeated road transects and, for elephant, GPS collars (187 254 downloads). Densities were calculated using a novel GIS approach designed to be a cost-effective method for annual censuses, but also able to cope with abrupt changes in visibility. Selectivity for (Manly's α) vegetation types, and overlap (Schoener's index) in vegetation type usage were calculated. Resource depletion in the dry season resulted in all members of the guild increasing selectivity for vegetation types (sum of absolute values away from the neutral value for Manly's alpha for the guild: dry seasons 3.97, 5.16; corresponding wet seasons 3.12, 3.68), but decreasing interspecific overlap (80% of Schoener's indices lower in dry season versus wet season). These effects were more marked over the second, more severe, dry season. We found support for the niche overlap hypothesis and the niche compression hypothesis. The Jarman–Bell principle was generally supported, although unexpectedly during the severe dry season elephant showed the most selectivity for vegetation type. The greater the resource depletion, the more relevant interspecific differences in habitat usage become in relation to the differential impacts of guild members.

Abstract:
AbstractIn greenhouse agroecosystems, a guild of spider mite predators may consist of the oligophagous predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, the polyphagous predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus McGregor (both Acari: Phytoseiidae) and the primarily herbivorous but facultatively predatory western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Diet-specialization and the predator body size relative to prey are crucial factors in predation on F. occidentalis by P. persimilis and N. californicus. Here, it was tested whether the relevance of these factors changes during predator ontogeny. First, the predator (protonymphs and adult females of P. persimilis and N. californicus): prey (F. occidentalis first instars) body size ratios were measured. Second, the aggressiveness of P. persimilis and N. californicus towards F. occidentalis was assessed. Third, survival, development and oviposition of P. persimilis and N. californicus with F. occidentalis prey was determined. The body size ranking was P. persimilis females > N. californicus females > P. persimilis protonymphs > N. californicus protonymphs. Neoseiulus californicus females were the most aggressive predators, followed by highly aggressive N. californicus protonymphs and moderately aggressive P. persimilis protonymphs. Phytoseiulus persimilis females did not attack thrips. Frankliniella occidentalis larvae are an alternative prey for juvenile N. californicus and P. persimilis, enabling them to reach adulthood. Females of N. californicus but not P. persimilis sustained egg production with thrips prey. Within the guild studied here, N. californicus females are the most harmful predators for F. occidentalis larvae, followed by N. californicus and P. persimilis juveniles. Phytoseiulus persimilis females are harmless to F. occidentalis.

Abstract:
Eddy covariance (EC) estimates of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and the surface energy balance were gathered from an elevated peat plateau within the Hudson Bay Lowlands near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada (58°43′46″N, 93°49′57″W) during the growing season of 2007. Data were segregated into onshore and offshore wind regimes to assess the advective influence of the generally cold and moist Hudson Bay air masses compared to generally warm and dry air masses of nonmarine origin. Monthly average NEE ranged from an uptake of 0.2 µmol·m−2·s−1 in September to 5.6 µmol·m−2·s−1 in July. Over the growing season, onshore winds from Hudson Bay contributed to an average 4.2 °C reduction in air temperature and an NEE increase of 27%. When normalized with respect to sunlight receipt, the ratio of gross primary production to photosynthetically active radiation (GPP/PAR) was 26% stronger for offshore regimes than for onshore, while the ratio of ecosystem respiration to PAR (ER/PAR) was 71% stronger for offshore regimes. It was concluded that GPP maintains the same strength for both wind regimes, while ER is significantly stronger for offshore regimes, resulting in reduced NEE capacity during periods when winds originate from inland.

Abstract:
The demographic of gamers is rapidly changing, and currently an estimated 42 per cent of gamers are female. As a result, research is beginning to look at the sexism which is often characteristic of the experiences of female gamers and the content of games themselves. Our research focused on the negative and positive interactions of female gamers both in games as well as gaming communities in relation to internalised misogyny. A survey of female gamers (N = 86) demonstrated that 41 per cent had experienced negative interactions with other female gamers. Participants were asked to elaborate on these interactions through open-ended responses which were analysed for thematic content. Their experiences with female players included negative attention-seeking behaviours, competitiveness, relational aggression, and critiques of play style, but also examples of female solidarity. These findings show consistency with the concept of internalised misogyny.

A fossil spider from the Cretaceous Jinju Formation of Korea is redescribed as Korearachne jinju, n. gen. n. sp. Previous description of this specimen, the only known fossil spider from Korea, was inadequate, and here we present a more detailed interpretation and illustration of the specimen. The fossil spider is preserved alongside juvenile albuiform fish, Diptera and possible crustaceans, which suggests a mass mortality event. Familial identification of the spider is impossible, but it probably belongs to a guild of wandering spiders, possibly lycosoids.

Abstract:
Of 247 harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) stomachs collected between December 1988 and October 1990 from western Hudson Strait (autumn), the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence (December), the St. Lawrence estuary (winter and April), and the Magdalen Islands (March), 140 (57%) contained food. The Magdalen Islands sample contained significantly more empty stomachs (62%, n = 164) than those from all other locations. Both the unreconstructed mass of stomach contents and the proportion of fish and invertebrate prey within individual stomachs varied significantly with location and season. Harp seals obtained from the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence during their southward migration fed less intensively, and on a wider variety of both invertebrate and fish prey, notably Parathemisto libellula, Pandalus sp., sand lance (Ammodytes sp.), and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Feeding was more intensive and specialized in Hudson Strait and the St. Lawrence estuary where capelin (Mallotus villosus) dominated in the diet. Capelin contributed 89 and 98% of gross energy in samples from Hudson Strait (1990) and the estuary (April). The number of capelin per stomach consumed by seals from the St. Lawrence estuary in April was high (169.4 ± 58.9, mean ± SD, n = 9). The mean estimated lengths of capelin and cod consumed were 132 and 140 mm.

Abstract:
Although facultative scavenging is very common, little is known about the factors governing carrion acquisition by vertebrates. We examined the influence of carcass characteristics, carcass state, and weather conditions on carrion use by main scavengers. Carcasses (N = 214, mainly ungulates) of various origins (predation, natural deaths, harvest) were monitored by systematic inspections (N = 1784) in Białowieża Forest (Poland). Common raven (Corvus corax L., 1758), red fox (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)), and European pine marten (Martes martes (L., 1758)) mainly used the prey remains of gray wolves (Canis lupus L., 1758). The kills of predators were the preferred carrion, rather than dead ungulates. Common ravens, common buzzards (Buteo buteo (L., 1758)), white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla (L., 1758)), and domestic dogs scavenged more frequently on carcasses in open habitats. Carcasses located in the forest were the most available to European pine martens, jays (Garrulus glandarius (L., 1758)), and wild boar (Sus scrofa L., 1758). The common tendency was to increase scavenging when temperature decreased, except for raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides (Gray 1834)). As snow depth increased, jays and great tits (Parus major L., 1758) increased scavenging. We suggest that carrion use by scavengers is not random, but a complex process mediated by extrinsic factors and by behavioural adaptations of scavengers.

Full text
Abstract:
U-Pb geochronology, paleomagnetism, and petrography indicate that the Molson dyke swarm, along the western margin of the Superior craton, is a composite of at least two ages of intrusion. The more extensive younger dyke set, the Molson swarm sensu stricto, generally has a 030° trend, is mainly pyroxenitic to noritic with subordinate diabase, and has been related to rifting in a back-arc environment during closure of the Manikewan ocean at about 1920-1800 Ma which culminated in the Trans-Hudson Orogen. A U-Pb zircon age from one of these dykes, located at Cauchon Lake, indicates emplacement at 1877+7&#150 4, similar to two previous U-Pb age determinations on Molson dykes. Another dyke from Cauchon Lake yields a baddeleyite-zircon U-Pb date of 2091 ± 2 Ma and appears to be part of an older, mainly diabasic suite of east-northeast-trending dykes that may represent a continental rifting episode that preceded the opening of the Manikewan ocean. The new U-Pb age data require a revision to the interpretation of the A, B, and C paleomagnetic poles previously reported from Molson dykes. The A pole (16.1°N, 96.5°W), initially assigned an age of 1883 Ma, is now considered to be younger and derived from a Paleoproterozoic overprint associated with the Trans-Hudson Orogen at about 1700-1800 Ma. Pole B (27.1°N, 140.8°W) from the Molson swarm sensu stricto is now regarded as primary, and dated at 1880 Ma. Pole C can be subdivided into two poles, one virtually the same as B but of opposite polarity (and therefore about 1880 Ma old) and a new pole (53°N, 180°W) derived from a primary remanence and dated at 2091 Ma. The new paleomagnetic interpretations may have important consequences for tectonic models of the Trans-Hudson Orogen and for Paleoproterozoic continental reconstructions.

Abstract:
IntroductionMany people experiencing homelessness remain in homeless hostels as their health deteriorates due to lack of alternative places of care (Shulman et al. 2017). Palliative care services are rarely involved and hostel staff face significant emotional and practical difficulties (Hudson et al. 2017). We developed evidence-based training for hostel staff around supporting residents with deteriorating health.AimsTo pilot and evaluate the impact of training.MethodsMixed methods pre-and-post training evaluation. Knowledge of palliative care confidence in and openness to supporting residents with deteriorating health and work-related stress were assessed at baseline and immediately post-training using a novel questionnaire. Following training group discussions were facilitated and participants identified team goals for implementation. Additional focus groups were held after three months.ResultsAll staff from two hostels attended 87% completed the course (n=21). Modest improvements in knowledge confidence openness and work-related stress were observed. Participants particularly valued the inclusion of strategies for identifying and addressing their emotional needs. At three months team goals were partially met. Identification and recognition of palliative care needs had improved. However the recovery focused ethos of hostels and significant staff turnover limited change. Systems designed to monitor ‘recovery’ did not accommodate or encourage a person-centred approach for people with deteriorating health.ConclusionsTraining in isolation is not enough for system change. Recommendations include embedding ongoing training into routine practice identifying champions to promote multidisciplinary working and incorporating flexibility in outcome measures to reflect complexity in person-centred care including where recovery may not be realistic.References.

Abstract:
Social wasps are part of the floral visitor guild. In this study we investigated the distribution of flower-visiting wasp species in two phytophysiognomies in the State Park of Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We inspected flowering plants with visiting wasps along a 1 km transect in riparian forest and another 1 km transect in campos rupestres over the course of one year, for a total sampling effort of 240 hours. We found a total of 103 individuals with 15 species distributed among 7 genera, the most common belonging to the Erythroxylaceae (n = 10) and Asteraceae (n = 10) families. Asteraceae had the highest abundance (N = 55). The diversity and evenness of these insects was higher in riparian forest (H '= 0.78 and J' = 0.75) than in campos rupestres (H '= 0.30, J' = 0.39). All species visited flowers of 19 plant species in riparian forest, and eight wasp species visited 11 plant species in campos rupestres. These Polistinae acted as regular floral visitors, thus, conservation programs in these areas may be relevant for the maintenance of social wasp diversity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Gardnerycteris crenulatum is a bat species restricted to South America, being particularly rare in lowland rainforests. It is characterized by a diet composed mainly of arthropods and small vertebrates, with no confirmed evidence of fruit consumption. Here, we provide the first records of seeds in the diet of G. crenulatum. The seeds were found in the feces of two individuals captured in late-successional forests in the Colombian Amazon (one pregnant female and one adult male), that belonged to Piper sp. (n = 125) and Cecropia engleriana (n = 3). In germination experiments, only Piper seeds germinated (8%). Insectivores can potentially perform other functions than the role assigned to their corresponding guild. More research is needed on the natural history and ecology of G. crenulatum to elucidate its possible role as seed disperser.

Abstract:
Neotropical shade-grown coffee systems are renowned for their potential to conserve avian biodiversity. Yet, little is known about food resources consumed by insectivorous birds in these systems, the extent of resource competition between resident and migratory birds, or how management of shade trees might influence diet selection. We identified arthropods in stomach contents from obligate and generalist insectivorous birds captured in mist-nets at five coffee farms in Chiapas, Mexico between 2001–2003. Overall stomach contents from 938 individuals revealed dietary differences resulting from changes in seasons, years, and foraging guilds. Of four species sampled across all management systems, Yellow-green Vireo (Vireo flavoviridis) prey differed depending on coffee shade management, consuming more ants in shaded monoculture than polyculture systems. Diets of obligate and generalist resident insectivores were 72% dissimilar with obligate insectivores consuming more Coleoptera and Araneae, and generalist insectivores consuming more Formicidae and other Hymenoptera. This suggests that obligate insectivores target more specialized prey whereas generalist insectivores rely on less favorable, chemically-defended prey found in clumped distributions. Our dataset provides important natural history data for many Nearctic-Neotropical migrants such as Tennessee Warbler (Leiothlypis peregrina; N = 163), Nashville Warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla; N = 69), and Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus; N = 68) and tropical residents including Red-legged Honeycreepers (Cyanerpes cyaneus; N = 70) and Rufous-capped Warblers (Basileuterus rufifrons; N = 56). With declining arthropod populations worldwide, understanding the ecological interactions between obligate and generalist avian insectivores gives researchers the tools to evaluate community stability and inform conservation efforts.

Abstract:
Ten volunteers were given varying ratios of oxygen and nitrous oxide at 4,6 and 8 litres per minute using a Hudson mask delivery system. Maximum and minimum inspired oxygen concentrations, maximum inspired nitrous oxide concentrations and end tidal carbon dioxide concentrations were measured using the Datex Cardiocap CCI-104 monitor. Although pharyngeal oxygen fraction varies with the Hudson mask because the inspiratory flow exceeds the entrainment of the mask by a variable amount during much of the cycle, at 8 litres/minute flow with a ratio of 3 to 5, oxygen to nitrous oxide, safe levels of oxygen were delivered (range of means 26–31%) with basal nitrous oxide levels (mean maximum inspired N 2 O, 34%). When nitrous oxide sedation is used clinically, nitrous oxide must be used with consideration of safe oxygen levels. This study did not detect unsafe pharyngeal oxygen levels in the ratios investigated, where the maximum delivered nitrous oxide concentration was 75%.

Abstract:
Walruses in Canada are currently subdivided into seven stocks based on summering areas; Western Jones Sound (WJS), Baffin Bay (BB), Penny Strait-Lancaster Sound (PS-LS), North Foxe Basin (N-FB), Central Foxe Basin (C-FB), Hudson Bay Davis Strait (HB-DS) and Southern and Eastern Hudson Bay (SE-HB). In this study, walrus were sampled from six of the seven stocks (SE-HB samples were not available) and genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci. All stocks were genetically diverse (average heterozygosity of 0.58) with no evidence of inbreeding (average FIS of 0.03). We detected significant genetic differentiation among the stocks and a pattern of genetic spatial autocorrelation that suggests a moderate effect of geographic distance on gene flow among stocks. Bayesian clustering suggested the six recognized stocks were elements of two larger genetic clusters - a northern Arctic population (containing BB, WJS, and PS-LS stocks) and a central Arctic population (containing C-FB, N-FB, and HB-DS stocks). These populations are moderately differentiated (FST = 0.07), but based on evidence of contemporary movement from assignment tests, are not completely isolated. There was support for maintaining the WJS stock and a combined BB+PS-LS stock, although the latter conclusion is based on a small sample size. Similarly, there was some evidence suggesting separation of the Foxe Basin stocks from the HB-DS but not the N-FB from the C-FB stock. However, given that there are morphological and chemical differences between N-FB and C-FB stocks, there is currently insufficient evidence to support a revision of the current stock designations.

Abstract:
We study the ancestral process of a sample from a subdivided population with stochastically varying subpopulation sizes. The sizes of the subpopulations change very rapidly (almost every generation) with respect to the coalescent time scale. For haploid populations of size N, one coalescence time unit corresponds to N generations. Coalescence and migration events occur on the same time scale. We show that, when the total population size tends to infinity, the structured coalescent is obtained, thus confirming the robustness of the coalescent. Many population structure models have been shown to converge to the structured coalescent (see Herbots (1997), Hudson (1998), Nordborg (2001), Nordborg and Krone (2002), and Notohara (1990)).

Abstract:
During the Progressive Era, American social settlements played a critical role in helping immigrants adjust to a new life that was puzzling, difficult, and often grueling. Settlements offered immigrants medical help, language classes, art and music lessons, day-care services — and sometimes a place where they could learn to be community leaders. Most often, it is the inspiring work of women reformers that one thinks of in connection with the important work of social settlements. Yet among the many prominent women, several men in the settlement movement were influential and extraordinary in their own right. John Lovejoy Elliott, founder and head worker of the Hudson Guild in New York City, was a prime example.Although Elliott held such impressive posts as President of the Board of Directors of the National Federation of Settlements (from 1919 to 1923) and was described by one of his contemporaries as “one of the great social workers and spiritual leaders of our time…. a kind of lay saint,” historically Elliott's work has been overshadowed by that of his more famous female counterparts. Yet one could argue that it is Elliott who created and put into practice a settlement house that best addressed the needs of immigrants and most helped the immigrant underclass achieve some independence and political power.Although John Lovejoy Elliott had a single focus (helping immigrants), female settlement head workers, such as Jane Addams, often pursued a dual goal. They were concerned about helping immigrants, but also were intent on giving college-educated, middle-class or upper-class young American women something to do with their lives. “We have in America,” wrote Addams, “a fast growing number of cultivated young people who have no recognized outlet for their active abilities.”

Abstract:
The Atlantic Forest is one of the richest and most threatened biomes in the world, a fact that configures it as a global hotspot. We provide here a list of bird species recorded in the municipality of Barra Mansa (RJ), during ten years of ad libitum observations in a fragment of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest, one of the most devastated phytophysiognomies of this biome. We recorded 192 species, of which 107 present some degree of forest dependency, 22 that present migratory activity, 24 that are endemic in the biome or in Brazil and 5 that are relevant to conservation as they are almost threatened or vulnerable at some level (global, national or state). Regarding the trophic guild, there was a predominance of insectivorous (n=67) and omnivorous (n=58) species, which denotes some environmental quality, but pressured by an imminent anthropization. Given the obtained results, the importance of the analyzed fragment for the maintenance of the local biodiversity becomes evident.

Abstract:
The objective of this research was to evaluate the parasitism behavior of Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) e Trissolcus urichi Crawford (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on eggs of Nezara viridula L., Euschistus heros F., Piezodorus guildinii Westwood and Acrosternum aseadum Rolston (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), in no choice and multiple choice experiments. For all parasitoid species, the results demonstrated the existence of a main host species that maximizes the reproductive success. The competitive interactions among the parasitoid species were investigated in experiments of sequential and simultaneous release of different combinations of parasitoid pairs on the hosts N. viridula, E. heros and A. aseadum. Exploitative competition was observed for egg batches at the genus level (Telenomus vs. Trissolcus) and interference competition at the species level (T. basalis vs. T. urichi). Trissolcus urichi was the most aggressive species, interfering with the parasitism of T. basalis. Generally, T. basalis showed an opportunistic behavior trying to parasitise eggs after T. urichi had abandoned the egg batch. The selection of parasitoid species for use in augmentative biological control programs should take into account the diversity of pentatomids present in soybean in addition to the interactions among the different species of parasitoids.

Abstract:
Worldwide, billions of birds die annually due to window collisions. Nevertheless, few accounts document bird-window collisions in the Neotropics. In this study, we document species that collided with windows in Monteverde, Costa Rica, and describe their ecological and conservation status. We gathered information from different sources, including data from museum records and accounts by Monteverde residents who participated as “citizen scientists” between May 2014 and December 2017. We conducted carcass searches between March 2015 and February 2016. We classified window-strike species by migratory, forest dependence, trophic guild, weight, abundance, conservation, and endemism status. We registered 103 species striking windows in Monteverde, which includes 98 of 267 species known to occur in three life zones in Monteverde and five not registered in the area. Window strike casualties’ frequencies differed by species, trophic guild and migratory status. Most window victims were residents, small, insectivorous, considered common or fairly common, with declining population trends. The families with the most species represented were Parulidae (14 spp.), Trochilidae (13 spp.), Turdidae (10 spp.), and Tyrannidae (9 spp.). Most species were passerines (Order Passeriformes) (71 spp.). No hawks or vultures were found colliding with buildings. The three species most commonly killed by windows were frugivores: Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus), Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus), and Black-faced Solitaire (Myadestes melanops). Among window-kills were five species whose status on the IUCN Red List are Near Threatened and one Vulnerable, including the Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) and the Three-wattled Bellbird (Procnias tricarunculatus). Six species are listed as in danger of extinction and four are listed as species with reduced populations by the National System of Conservation Areas for Costa Rica (SINAC). 12 endemic species are strike casualties. The premontane wet forest is the life zone where more species were found (n=64 spp.), followed by the premontane moist forest (n = 49 spp.) and the lower montane wet forest (n = 31 spp.). These findings demonstrate the urgent need for conservation measures to mitigate bird mortality due to window collisions. Promoting use of methods to protect birds from windows should be an important goal for this IBA and the rest of Costa Rica. We also recommend collecting data in order to increase understanding about bird window collisions.

Terminal five-membered O-benzylidene derivatives of aldose diethyl dithioacetals can be rearranged at room temperature in N,N-dimethylformamide, often in high yields. Derivatives with the arabino configuration for their three terminal secondary hydroxyl groups, i.e. D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-arabinose derivatives, rearranged to structures containing terminal six-membered O-benzylidene rings. 4,5-O-Benzylidene-D-ribose diethyl dithioacetal rearranged chiefly to the 2,4 isomer, which was obtained by crystallization. Chromatography yielded some of the 3,5 isomer. 5,6-O-Benzylidene-D-galactose diethyl dithioacetal rearranged to a mixture of the two 4,5-O-benzylidene diastereomers, contrary to predictions based on the Hann–Hudson rules. A revised set of rules for acetal stability in N,N-dimethylformamide has been formulated. D-arabinose and D-ribose diethyl dithioacetal were shown to react with α, α-dimethoxytoluene under rearrangement conditions to give the products noted above in good yields.

Full text
Abstract:
Marine wood-borers often live in sympatry, sharing deadwood scattered at sea, both as food and habitat. In this study, carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions were determined to test the hypothesis that the trophic niches of Chelura terebrans, Limnoria quadripunctata, and Nototeredo norvagica obtained from softwood boards maintained in running, unfiltered seawater are different. Comparison of isotope compositions supports niche partitioning, with N. norvagica foraging primarily on wood, and crustaceans foraging on decaying wood. Needs and acquisition routes for nitrogen determine the trophic behavior of the species. Results presented here are valuable for assessing the impact of wood-boring species on each other, but also for evaluating the effect of the separation of carbon and nitrogen sources on the diversity of the interactions between co-existing species belonging to the same trophic guild.

Full text
Abstract:
This Lithoprobe-funded paleomagnetic study of the Early Proterozoic Wintering Lake granitoid body supports tectonic models that suggest continental accretion of the Trans-Hudson Orogen with the Superior Craton occurred at ~1822 Ma. Thermal demagnetization data for the granitoid specimens suggest that the magnetic remanence carriers are coarse-grained magnetite or titanomagnetite, and saturation isothermal remanence tests suggest that the magnetite is mostly multidomain. Six of seven paleomagnetic contact tests were negative, indicating that the host rocks have been remagnetized and that the granitoid body may have been partially remagnetized near its margins. Acceptable site mean remanence directions for 20 of 21 granitic sites yield a paleopole at 46.8°N, 102.2°W (with semi-axes of the 95% ellipse of confidence about the paleopole of dp = 11° and dm = 11°). The paleopole fits on the extrapolated apparent polar wander path (APWP) for the Superior craton at ~1822 Ma, which is the interpreted emplacement age of the pluton close to the peak of the Trans-Hudson orogeny. This is the first well-constrained paleomagnetic result from the Superior Province that provides direct evidence from concordant paleopoles for the Early Proterozoic accretion of the orogen to the craton. Further, the paleomagnetic results from the pluton's host rocks, along with other recent results from the Superior Boundary Zone, fill in a gap in the APWP for the craton between ~1780 and ~1720 Ma. The Superior path is now shown to form a hairpin as the craton moves from mid to polar paleolatitudes from ~1880 to ~1830 Ma, suffers a stillstand from ~1830 to ~1770 Ma during the peak of the Trans-Hudson orogeny, returns to mid-paleolatitudes from ~1770 to ~1740 Ma, and then moves on to subequatorial paleolatitudes by ~1720 Ma.

Full text
Abstract:
Flaw leads (FLs) and polynyas are recurrent areas of open water within sea ice that provide habitat for a diversity of Arctic species. The western Hudson Bay FL is a major, predictable habitat feature; however, its importance to polar bears Ursus maritimus has not been examined. We mapped the FL using synthetic aperture radar (resolution 62.3 × 121 m) from December to May, 2009-2018, and assessed FL use by 73 adult female polar bears tracked using satellite telemetry. Maximum FL width varied from 4 km in March to 145 km in May. Bears were closest to the FL in May, which coincided with their hyperphagic period and the seal pupping season. Only 31.5% (n = 23) of the bears used the FL, and they travelled faster, with lower turning angles along the FL (16° turns at 101° and -69° relative to the FL), suggesting the feature acted as a corridor that could increase prey encounters. Bears were closer to and crossed sections of the FL that were 68% narrower than those not crossed, indicating that a wider FL deters crossing. Abundant prey likely attracts some bears to the FL, but most bears avoid the FL between hunts, likely to conserve energy on consolidated ice or to reduce intraspecific interactions. Increases in open water resulting from climate warming might make the FL more challenging for bears to cross, but could make it more attractive if open-water prey densities increase.

Full text
Abstract:
The Wathaman (Wathaman–Chipewyan) batholith is an 1854 ± 11 Ma, northeast-trending, homogenous, felsic pluton that is over 900 km long. It is thought to be a magmatic arc, with the Archean Hearne craton on its northwestern side as the hinterland and the remains of the Early Proterozoic Manikewan oceanic crust of the Trans-Hudson orogen on its southeastern side. Alternating-field and thermal step demagnetization methods isolate an A remanence component with a mean direction of D = 134.6°, I = 54.1° (α95 = 3.5°, k = 94, N = 19). Isothermal remanent magnetization tests confirm that this A magnetization component is preserved in pseudosingle to multidomain magnetite and in hematite. Contact tests with intruded older rocks of the Peter Lake domain, with younger crosscutting mafic dikes and with younger crosscutting shear zones, indicate that A is a primary remanence. Its pole position of 67°W, 9°N (dp = 3°, dm = 5°) confirms that it was formed along the margin of the Slave–Rae–Hearne craton, supporting tectonic models that it records a suture zone. It also indicates that the LaRonge – Lynn Lake domain, Flin Flon domain, and Superior Province were translated relatively northwestward into the suture by at least 11 ± 11°, 27 ± 12°, and 49° ± 16°, respectively, as the Manikewan Ocean closed.

Full text
Abstract:
The Wapisu gneiss dome is located in the northeastern part of the Kisseynew Domain of the Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO) in north-central Manitoba. The dome is circular, about 6 km in diameter, with steeply-dipping flanks. It is composed of upper amphibolite-facies gneisses derived from turbiditic sediments, with leucogranitic sill-like intrusions that were metamorphosed, starting at about 1830 Ma. Alternating field and thermal step demagnetization of 153 specimens from 17 sites around the perimeter of the dome isolated a characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) direction of D = 346.6°, I = 78.9° (α95 = 5.3°, k = 46, N = 17) that gives a pole of 119.5° W, 75.8° N (dp = 9.5°, dm = 10.0°). Unblocking temperatures and saturation isothermal remanence analyses show that the ChRM resides mostly in single to pseudosingle domain magnetite or titanomagnetite, with minor hematite commonly present and with minor pyrrhotite present in the leucogranites. The ChRM is found to be postfolding with >>99.9% confidence, indicating acquisition on cooling from peak metamorphism at ~1810 ± 10 Ma. This Wapisu gneiss dome paleopole is the first from the Kisseynew Domain and the first from the 1830 to 1770 Ma interval in the THO. It indicates an ~90° bend or hairpin in the apparent polar wander path for the THO juvenile terranes and Superior craton. It is speculated that the hairpin marks the collisional impact of the Archean Sask craton and (or) Hearne craton, which drove the Paleoproterozoic Kisseynew Domain into the Archean Superior craton.

Annual element runoff was a function of the timing of melt runoff and summer rain events because of permafrost. Lake retention of Si was higher than P because of the different times of loading, late summer versus spring. Conservative element mass did not change overwinter except in low-elevation Spring Lake, where residual Cl, Na, and K diffused from the sediments. Phosphorus and N were the only elements incorporated into black ice. As a result of freezeout and incomplete meltwater mixing beneath lake ice, element concentrations were 1.6 times higher in lakes than inflows, and major ion turnover times were 1.5–2.0 times higher than water turnover times.

Abstract:
O objectivo da presente investigação foi o estudo em mulheres da relação entre satisfação sexual e funcionamento sexual, e entre satisfação sexual e comportamentos sexuais. Recorreu-se ao Índice de Satisfação Sexual (ISS; Hudson, Harrison, & Crosscup, 1981) e ao Índice de Funcionamento Sexual Feminino (FSFI; Rosen et al., 2000). Utilizou-se uma amostra de conveniência recrutada da população feminina geral com N=152 (leque etário=26-70 anos; M=41 anos). Os resultados obtidos não demonstraram qualquer relação significativa entre a satisfação sexual e as fases do ciclo de resposta sexual, mas demonstraram uma relação significativa entre a satisfação sexual e o comportamento sexual carícias e preliminares.

Abstract:
Specimens of Palmaria mollis (Setchell and Gardner) van der Meer and Bird collected from Vancouver Island, Canada, were found to harbour a pathogenic fungal parasite. When infected fronds were put into culture, the algal thallus became completely covered with small white lesions. These were most concentrated in young tissue and soon killed the apices of the fronds. The parasite completed approximately one infection cycle per week at 10 °C. It died at temperatures near 15 °C, even though the host remained healthy at 20 °C. The parasite was identified as a species of Petersenia (Oomycetes). It most resembled P. lobata (H. E. Petersen) Sparrow but differed sufficiently in detail to consider it a new species, Petersenia palmariae. The new species does not infect Ceramium rubrum (Hudson) C. Agardh which serves as host for both P. lobata and P. pollagaster, the only other members of the genus known to parasitize marine algae. Nor does it infect Palmaria palmata (L.) O. Kuntze, a species related to the host on which it was discovered, which suggests Petersenia palmariae may be host specific.

Abstract:
Este artigo analisa o papel do New Age Circle como um laboratório das ideias corporativas na Inglaterra no período anterior à Primeira Guerra Mundial. O New Age Circle foi uma rede informal composta por intelectuais radicais e antiliberais provenientes de todo o espectro político. Defendendo que o corporativismo não foi somente um produto socioeconómico das ideologias fascistas, autoritárias e nacionalistas, o artigo pretende demonstrar que tendências corporativas foram uma característica também da rede analisada, entre 1906 e 1916. Dessa forma, deseja explicar como a Inglaterra participou de uma reflexão corporativa global, iniciada antes do advento do fascismo entre grupos políticos não fascistas. Primeiramente, o artigo realiza um panorama dos pontos de referência mais importantes do New Age Circle: o pensamento político e económico de William Morris e John Ruskin; as ideias católicas-sociais do Cardinal Manning; e o conceito de personalidade jurídica dos corpos intermédios da sociedade teorizado por Frederic W. Maitland e John N. Figgis. A seguir, o artigo mostra as várias e diferentes formas do pensamento corporativo do New Age Circle, como, por exemplo, o medievalismo de Arthur J. Penty; o socialismo das guildas de G.D.H. Cole; o organicismo monárquico de Ramiro De Maeztu; e, enfim, o catolicismo social de Hilaire Belloc.

Abstract:
The Atlantic population of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) nests in the coastal lowlands of eastern Hudson Bay and southwestern Ungava Bay in Nunavik, Quebec. Although many aspects of the nesting ecology of this and other northern populations of Canada Geese have been studied and published, there is a paucity of information on the use of brood-rearing and moulting sites. Based on 18 years of band and recapture data from an ongoing banding program, this paper presents the distribution of brood-rearing and moulting sites and the use of these sites over time. Along Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay, the most important brood-rearing and moulting areas are the stretch of coastal lowlands between the Mariet River and Shallow Bay and between Rivière aux Feuilles and Virgin Lake, respectively. Of all adult geese captured during the banding program (n = 41 924), 7.5% (standard error [SE] 0.13%) were recaptures, that is, birds that had previously been caught and banded; annual recapture rates ranged from 5.1% to 11.4%. The mean and median distances between the site of first recapture and the original site of capture were 4.3 km (SE 0.22 km) and 1.5 km, respectively. Juveniles moved, on average, 5.4 km farther than adults and males moved 1.4 km farther than females. Among geese banded as juveniles, males moved twice as far as females: 11.5 km versus 5.7 km.

Abstract:
Introduction: The development and spread of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to most commonly used antimalarials remain a major challenge in the control of malaria. Constant monitoring of drug efficacy is an important tool in establishing rational antimalarial drug policies. Methodology: A randomized comparative study was conducted at the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, Nigeria between February 2010 and September 2011 comparing the efficacy and safety of artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) and fixed dose of artesunate plus amodiaquine (Larimal) in the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria in children betweem 6 and 144 months of age. P. falciparum malaria parasitemia was assessed by microscopy and rapid diagnostic test. Drugs were administered according to age for three days under supervision. The primary efficacy endpoint was a day 28 PCR-corrected parasitological cure. Results: A total of 182 patients were enrolled in the two treatment groups, Coartem (n = 101) and Larimal (n = 81), and tested after 28 days. In the intention-to-treat population, Coartem (n= 101) and Larimal (n= 81) had a PCR-corrected cure rate of 98% and 100% respectively, while in the per-protocol population, Coartem (n = 89) and Larimal (n = 71) both had a PCR-corrected cure rate of 100% at day 28. Although parasite and fever clearance time was faster in the Larimal group, no significant difference was observed between the two drugs. No serious adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: Five years after being introduced in Nigeria, both Coartem and Larimal have been shown to be safe and highly effective in the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria in children.
