Abstract:

The fiddler crab, Uca splendida (Stimpson, 1858) has been synonymized under Uca crassipes (White, 1847) since Crane(1975). Studies of specimens from the Hong Kong type locality and adjacent areas of China, Taiwan and Vietnam showthat U. splendida is a valid species, with a characteristic suite of carapace and gonopod features as well as a distinctcytochrome oxidase I (COI) signature. Genetic work shows that U. splendida belongs to a well-supported clade and is thesister species of U. crassipes. The distribution of U. splendida is restricted to continental East and continental SoutheastAsia, in

Abstract:

Two specimens of the rare Amarsipa fish, Amarsipus carlsbergi, were collected from Pratas Island in the northern South China Sea. They represent the first record of Taiwanese EEZ and fill the distribution gap in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between Japan (East China Sea) and Vietnam. The two specimens were identified based on their diagnostic characteristics, including no pharyngeal sacs, a pelvic fin well in front of the pectoral fin, a slender body and other morphology. Detailed data and descriptions of these two specimens, including a description of otolith morphology, are provided.

Abstract:

The satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) data is used to investigate the distribution of aerosol over the South China Sea (SCS). High correlation coefficients are found between in situ AERONET data and satellite AOD measurements around the SCS with the highest coefficient of 0.9 on the Dongsha Island (i.e., Pratas Island). The empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of AOD over the SCS shows that high AOD is always found around offshore areas of China, Indochina, Sumatra, and Borneo. Besides, spring is the major season of occurring coarse aerosol particles (AOT_C) but fine aeroso

Abstract:

Dongsha Island, situated in the northern part of the South China Sea, is surrounded by coral reefs and deep-sea habitats. The coastal areas of the atoll, a marine protected area, serve as important nursery habitats for many reef fish species. At the same time, the offshore deep-sea continental slopes are historically important fishing grounds. Although previous inventories primarily focused on coral reef fishes within the atoll listing 652 species from 73 families, comprehensive surveys of fishes from deeper waters have been incomplete. In this study, the species composition of the fish fauna

Abstract:

The Madeiran wall lizard Teira dugesii is a relatively new species to the Azores Archipelago, where it was accidentally introduced about 150 to 200 years ago. This lacertid quickly became naturalised and now occurs in all the nine main islands of the Azores. At Praia Islet, off Graciosa Island, the Madeiran wall lizard was recently observed preying on chicks of the threatened Monteiro's storm-petrel Hydrobates monteiroi. To characterise the lizards' trophic niche, we conducted a study of the diet of the Madeiran wall lizard at Praia using stable isotope analysis and next-generation sequencing.

The main impacts on SIDS from climate change are from air and sea temperature increases, changes to precipitation and storms, and ocean acidification, which in turn have major impacts on ecosystems, freshwater, and the natural resources on which islanders depend. SIDS people would prefer to stay in their communities by adjusting to the changes, but they need external support for doing so. As such, climate change is a global cha

Abstract:

Since 2008, "crisis" discourse has emerged as one of the key issues for practicing anthropologists. According to a review of the field of practicing anthropology in 2009, practicing anthropologists made substantial contributions on topical areas like fiscal, ecological, and human crisis and relevant issues, like civil rights and displacement among others. At the same time, they have turned to action-orientated anthropological research with varying degrees of collaboration with the communities they study (Brondo 2010). This article emerges from the researcher's active engagement with local-base

Abstract:

As anthrologist on welfare, I am in a position to comment directly on the deplorable conditions and procedures involved in receiving public assistance. My recommendations for alternate approaches to managing recipients are based upon my personal experiences at the Long Island City Human Resource Administration (HRA). They include serious changes in procedure and attitude. The latter is always the harder to change, especially when social workers come from a value system that reflects middle-class sensibilities and the work ethic.

Abstract:

The Cayos Cochinos, a set of two small islands (Cayo Menor and Cayo Mayor) and thirteen coral cays located off the north coast of Honduras, are picturesque in their postcard beauty. A Google search brings up descriptions of the islands as "diamonds in the rough," "a divers' and snorkelers' paradise," "the most stunning scenery ever to behold," "a private paradise." The archipelago's beauty is undeniable, yet the costs of "protecting" its natural attractions are high, especially to the Afro-indigenous Garifuna who have relied on the area's resources since their arrival in the early 1800s.

At the beginning of 1985 Operation Moses was underway, bringing thousands of Ethiopian Jews from refugee camps in Sudan to Israel. Seeing an Ethiopian child on Israeli television brought me back to my grandfather's house in New York and to myself as a child. My grandfather, Rabbi Leo Jung, had assisted Jewish communities all over the world for many years. When I visited him I always looked forward to his bedtime stories about Jews in different places and to his accounts of his own experiences and travels. This is how I first heard about the Jews on the island of Djerba, and in Persia, and abou

The first time I went to Chincoteague Island, Virginia, was during their peak tourist season. Vacationers buzzed around on motor scooters and bicycles, and the streets were lined with beach shops selling T-shirts, saltwater taffy, beach towels featuring horses and dolphins, and other usual beach town fare and souvenirs. One shop stuck out at me, however, and I had to check it out. I stopped at a garage attached to a small home with the word Decoys written on the outside, and a couple of crab pots and a neon Open sign by the garage door. Inside I found shelves with wooden birds, and a man came

The transformation of Pacific Island societies into modern nation states necessarily involves change from a subsistence economy to an industrial mode of production. Development education will play an important role in the success or failure of efforts to industrialize in the training of an indigenous group of business managers and bureaucrats. These individuals must be given a practical understanding of western economics and organizational forms which may be adapted to the needs of their societies and serve in turn to instruct others. The knowledge that they gain often will be applied in tradi

Coach tours are ubiquitous in Ireland. On any given day in the cities of Killarney, Galway or Dublin, on the Ring of Kerry or the Cliffs of Moher, literally hundreds of tourist-filled coaches can be seen. Often scoffed at by visitors who consider themselves to be something other than uncultured and vulgar, coach tourists come to Ireland to see the place of their dreams. They come for the same reasons "less vulgar" visitors do. Many are descendants of the diasporic Irish forced to leave the island in search of a better life during times of famine or economic desperation. Having grown up hearing

Years after he conducted field work in the Trobriand Islands, Malinowski's revealing description of his inner-most thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about the research site and informants was published posthumously (Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term. New York: Harcourt, Brace and World, 1967). Since that time, personal accounts have appeared more frequently in the anthropological literature, although most are not as poignant and certainly not as pejorative as Malinowski's. These backstage descriptions and confessional tales provide anthropologists with opportunities to examine the ways in

All right, I know what is meant by going to the field and getting one's pants dirty, but who are these informants, where do they come from, and what do they do? The use of diverse types of informants is essential to solving problems, research, or otherwise and is most important to applied anthropology.
