Abstract:

ABSTRACTMental categorization schemes, such as noun classification systems, can be productive sites for examining how experience is meaningfully and culturally structured through metaphorical and metonymic associations. Pohnpeian possessive classifiers not only constitute cultural categories of rank and power relations, but dynamically re-sort or re-classify these categories through honorific speech. Linguistic and interactional data are here combined with ethnographic data about Pohnpeian society and cultural beliefs, particularly notions about the meaning and construction of ranked social relationships, to show how micro-interactions which index status are linked both to larger cultural ideologies about power and, metaphorically, to the experiential domain. (Pohnpei, Micronesia, honorifics, status, metaphor, possessive constructions)

Abstract:

The new species Tosanoidesannepatricesp. n. is described from four specimens collected at depths of 115–148 m near Palau and Pohnpei in Micronesia. It differs from the other three species of this genus in life color and in certain morphological characters, such as body depth, snout length, anterior three dorsal-fin spine lengths, caudal-fin length, and other characters. There are also genetic differences from the other four species of Tosanoides (d ≈ 0.04–0.12 in mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I). This species is presently known only from Palau and Pohnpei within Micronesia, but it likely occurs elsewhere throughout the tropical western Pacific.

Abstract:

As a nation, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) faces increasing rates of noncommunicable diseases related to the replacement of the traditional diet with processed imported food and adoption of sedentary lifestyles. To reverse this trend, a food-based intervention in Pohnpei, FSM, used various approaches to promote local food (LF) production and consumption. Evaluation of the intervention in one community assessed changes in diet and health status in a random sample of households (n=47). Process indicators were also examined. Results from dietary assessments indicated increased (110%) provitamin A carotenoid intake; increased frequency of consumption of local banana (53%), giant swamp taro (475%), and local vegetables (130%); and increased diversity from LF. There was no change in health measures. However, exposure to intervention activities was high, and behaviour towards LF appeared to have changed positively. It is recommended that the intervention continue and expand to further affect dietary change and improve health.

Abstract:

Upland tropical rainforest on Pohnpei island, Federated States of Micronesia, declined from 42 % of land area in 1975 to 15 % in 1995, largely through conversion to sakau (Piper methysticum G. Forst.) cultivation. As part of a research programme aimed at restoring degraded forest, I hypothesised that forest succession is retarded in abandoned sakau plots because of a loss of advance growth after forest clearance and weeding. This would exclude advance growth from playing a major role in regeneration and prevent species relying upon advance growth from establishing in sakau plots. I compared regeneration in abandoned sakau plots with regeneration following tree-fall disturbance in intact forest. All available tree and shrub species were sampled for composition, density, height, and health. The area covered by ferns, grasses and lianas by species was scored. Light and litter were measured in the smallest sample units for analyses independent of plot types. Samples were remeasured over 15 months to track the growth and survival of the initial cohort and newly recruited seedlings. Small single-tree falls brought only subtle changes to the forest; light varied more in gaps without necessarily producing significant shifts in mean responses. Recruitment of the pioneer canopy tree Campnosperma brevipetiolata Volkens and understorey tree Aglaia ponapensis Kaneh. was significantly greater in gaps than in mature forest. With the exception of C. brevipetiolata, both the initial and newly recruited mature and gap populations were dominated by heavy-seeded species. Height growth was greater in gaps. In contrast to the forest, sakau plots were characterised by: open canopies; shallow litter depth; wide coverage of ferns, grasses and lianas; and few trees and shrubs, predominantly light-seeded small-tree and shrub species. In 15 months, seedlings and saplings grew rapidly, litter depth and fern cover increased and grass cover decreased markedly. At a broad disturbance scale (quadrat data from all plot types combined), light was correlated with species responses such as seedling abundance and height growth; however, light was not very influential at the narrower scale of small-gap dynamics. Larger and older seedlings survived longer, but new recruits initially grew faster. Results suggested that tree species that are better adapted for survival in Pohnpei's mature- and gap-phase forest, typically those with relatively heavy seeds, established from advance growth and/or seed rain. The prevalence of advance growth in Pohnpei's upland forest meant that mature-forest species were self-perpetuating into the gap phase. In contrast, species composition and abundance in sakau-plot regeneration reflected a greater reliance upon propagule input from the soil seed bank and seed rain. In abandoned sakau plots, the breakdown of advance growth, combined with a seed rain deficient in heavy-seeded species (Winthrop, 1998) and competition from ferns and grasses, excluded from establishment many species normally common in Pohnpei's forest, thereby impairing forest recovery. I examined the implications of this for restoration strategies.

Abstract:

Food production, or the cultivation and processing of edible materials, is closely linked to both the physical environment and human social systems. This is especially true on the islands of Remote Oceania, where cultivation of plants introduced with colonization has always been a key component of survival. This project centers on the production systems of an island in the west central Pacific: Pohnpei, Micronesia. It addresses the fundamental question of how food production is related to changes in social and physical environments and also addresses the optimum ways to archaeologically study plant remains in tropical oceanic environments with poor preservation. In order to examine these questions, this project looks at human-environment interrelationships using historical ecology. A multi-pronged approach was used in this research. Archaeological survey was used to identify prehistoric and historic features on the landscape and to map the distribution of food production activities. Excavation of selected archaeological features, including breadfruit fermentation pits, yam enclosures, and cooking features, was conducted to examine formation patterns. Paleoethnobotanical analysis included collection and analysis of flotation samples for carbonized plant macroremain analysis and sediment samples for phytolith analysis. Finally, because a reference collection is key to all paleoethnobotanical research, plant specimens from multiple Pacific locations were collected and processed for phytolith reference. Botanical data show that phytolith analysis is very useful in the Pacific region, as many economically important taxa produce phytoliths. However, because of differential silica uptake, it should be used in conjunction with other methods. Archaeological phytolith analysis of the garden landscape shows disturbance caused by pigs, which were introduced historically, a change from the prehistoric phytolith record, which shows no major shifts. Combined analysis of plant macroremains and phytoliths from secure archaeological contexts shows the use of banana leaves in breadfruit cooking in the historic period, highlighting the importance of multi-method paleoethnobotanical study. These data point towards an anthropogenic environment and stable agricultural system that was present in late prehistoric Pohnpei. Major changes occurred in the historic period, although production of plant foods that were important for centuries continues to flourish today.

Abstract:

Despite their inherent importance and utility as ecological examples, island species are among the most endangered and least studied groups. Guam Micronesian Kingfishers (Halcyon cinnamomina cinnamomina) exemplify the plight of insular biota as a critically endangered and understudied island bird that went extinct in the wild before they could be studied in their native habitat. Guam kingfishers currently exist only as a captive population in U.S. zoos. Using radio telemetry and visual observations of a wild subspecies of Micronesian Kingfisher (H. c. reichenbachii) from the island of Pohnpei, this study examined factors critical for the persistence of both the Guam and Pohnpei kingfishers. Behavioral observations indicated that the birds employ a cooperative social system, which included non-parent individuals that assisted in reproductive attempts of others. Because resource limitations have been cited as a potentially important factor in the evolution of cooperative behaviors and in conservation, this investigation assessed the characteristics and availability of a potentially limited nesting resource, arboreal termite nests. First, the characteristics of termite nests, or termitaria, selected by Micronesian Kingfishers for use as nest sites were modeled. Results suggested that Micronesian Kingfishers selected termitaria that were higher from the ground and larger in volume than unused termitaria. Further, there was little evidence that birds selected from among termitaria based on proximity to forest edges and foraging areas, placement on a tree, vegetation characteristics, or microclimate. Second, the number of termitaria with characteristics indicative of nest sites was assessed to determine if reproductive opportunities might be limited by the abundance of suitable termitaria. Results from this analysis suggested that although fewer termitaria existed with characteristics similar to those used for nesting, reproductive opportunities did not appear to be limited by their abundance. Therefore, while conservation strategies should be directed towards providing ample and appropriate nesting substrates, I found no evidence suggesting that termitaria abundance played a role in the evolution of cooperative breeding in Pohnpei Micronesian Kingfishers. Findings presented here will hopefully enhance our understanding of cooperative behaviors, as well as improve conservation efforts for Micronesian Kingfishers and other insular avifauna.<br>Graduation date: 2002

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立屏東科技大學<br>熱帶農業暨國際合作研究所<br>94<br>This study was conducted in order to assess the training needs for vegetable farmers in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and to design appropriate training to improve vegetable production and marketing in Pohnpei. Agriculture still play an important role in Pohnpei, FSM because of its role in providing income, food, employment opportunities and including its important contribution to the traditional activities. Therefore, it remains important to the economy although the production is lower than the past times. The FSM census 2000, indicated that out of the total population of 38,000, an estimated 80% depend on subsistence or semi-subsistence livelihood. However, traditional subsistence foods have been overwhelmingly replaced by imported foods and are regarded as inferior (“starchy foods”), and not fully recognized for their economic or nutritional value. Pohnpei, FSM 2002 statistics report indicated that food import totaled $28.2 million, of which about $1.4 million were fruits and vegetables. There is a great potential for commercial production especially for those crops that are imported. The total amount of fruits and vegetables imported could be replaced by locally grown products. There is high demand for locally grown vegetables in the domestic market but the supply is inadequate and also inconsistent to meet the local demand, as shown in the appendix 3. Vegetable farming requires special knowledge and skills to be more productive. Continuous training in vegetable production and marketing is essential in order to stabilize or increase the productivity. Therefore, in this study a survey was conducted with the vegetable farmers in Pohnpei, FSM to make and assessment on their knowledge and skills in production and marketing and to design appropriate training needs to increase their production as well as their income.
