In the Amazon fishing is one of the main economic activities and higher value to traditional riverine communities of the region. Considering this importance is to suppose that the riverine populations have knowledge about fish fauna explores for them, because their forming culture that maintain a strait relationship with natural resources. This study aim to elevate the traditional knowledge of the fishermen from the riverine communities in the Big Lake Complex about the fish alimentary diet caught for commercialization and consumption. This study was realized in the Manacapuru Big Lake Complex through interview jointed with 62 fishermen. The results presents a detailed knowledge about the tambaqui, tucunaré, pacu, acará-açú, curimatã, aruanã, matrinxã, piranha and pirapitinga fish feeding compatible with the laboratory analyzes and with the specifics literature. Finally the traditional ecological knowledge from the fishermen about the fish ecology in the Big Lake must be used as a subsidy study of lakes management, establishing in this way, an information resource for scientific works at the same time to minimize the cost with a long research.

Waterfront might be conceived as an entry to places where urbanity evolves. The physical process arises from the socio-political and economic development of its society. It entails a complex social and ecological processes constantly occur and how they interfere with each other. This paper analyses the ethnography of place in Tumok, a traditional floating kampung in Sambas, in the perspective of socio-ecology. This study is in an initial part of an ongoing Ph.D research on the urban political ecology of river settlements. Up to this stage, research findings have shown that becoming such a part of the past riverine culture in the context of present land-oriented urban culture has raised a new insight about how to view the urban waterfront.Keywords: riverine culture; socio-ecological process; spatial ethnography; urban kampung ISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

Full textAbstract:
The riverine rabbit (Bunolagus monticulares), one of South Africa's most threatened mammals, with an estimated population size under 250, was upgraded from endangered to critically endangered in 2002. The low number of riverine rabbits precludes any attempts of nuclear transfer (NT) using intraspecific oocytes; therefore, the overall aim of this study was to assess the ability of the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) oocyte to reprogram the somatic cell of the endangered riverine rabbit by interspecies NT. A preliminary study evaluated the effect of timing of enucleation after induction of ovulation (h post-hCG). A second study assessed the effects of two activation protocols. In addition, since the unique characteristics of the rabbit zona pellucida affect the speed of micromanipulation, different exposure periods to UV light at enucleation were evaluated. Adult domestic Californian rabbits were treated with eCG for 72 h, and ovulation was induced by hCG administration. Oocytes were collected by retrograde flushing at 12–14 h or 16–18 h post-hCG administration and stripped of cumulus investments with 0.5% hyaluronidase in Ca-Mg-free PBS. Metaphase-II oocytes were selected by visualizing the first polar body. Oocytes were stained with 2 mg mL–1 Hoechst 33342 for 5 min, and metaphase plates were removed with a 25–30 μm (O.D.) borosilicate beveled, spiked pipette after exposure to <5 or 30–40 s of UV light. Adult adipose-derived riverine rabbit fibroblasts grown to confluency in DMEM with 10% FCS were used as donor cells and fused with 2 consecutive DC pulses (3.2 kV cm–1, 45 μs). After reconstruction, couplets were randomly assigned for activation by either a second set of electrical pulses or incubation with ionomycin, followed by 1 h of incubation in 2 mm 6-DMAP. Embryos were co-cultured with a bovine oviductal cell monolayer in DMEM with 10% FCS and assessed for cleavage after 36 h of in vitro culture. There was a significant difference in the number of cleaved embryos from oocytes collected at 12–14 h post-hCG (n = 50) or 16–18 h post-hCG (n = 51) administration (57% v. 0% cleaved; P < 0.05). No significant difference was detected in embryos developing after electrofusion v. ionomycin activation treatments. However, a significantly greater number (P < 0.05) of embryos cleaved from oocytes exposed to <5 s UV than from oocytes exposed to 30–40 s UV (Table 1). A total of 20 embryos (4-cell to 16-cell stages) were surgically transferred to the oviducts of 4 adult New Zealand white synchronized recipients after 48 h of in vitro culture. Two recipients (<5 s UV exposure treatment group) were diagnosed pregnant by abdominal palpation at 15 days post-transfer; pregnancies were subsequently lost by Day 30, with placental tissues recovered. This preliminary study indicates the domestic rabbit oocyte is capable of reprogramming riverine rabbit donor cells. In addition, the time of oocyte collection after ovulation induction and the UV exposure period during enucleation have an effect on the efficiency of interspecies NT and embryo development in this species.

Abstract The presented study was based on isotopic analysis of δ13C and δ15N in human bone collagen samples from graves of the Corded Ware culture in Święte, south-east Poland. Isotopic values demonstrate a relatively narrow variation, ranging from -20.4‰ to -19.8‰ and 10.6‰ to 12.0‰ for δ13C and δ15N values, respectively. The diet was likely C3 plant-based with a substantial animal protein component, including predominantly terrestrial and possibly riverine resources.

Full textAbstract:
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic zoonosis expanding in Brazil. Several municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso including those on the river Cuiabá have reported the incidence of both human and canine cases and the identification of sandfly vector, Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lu. cruzi. Dogs are considered the main reservoir of Leishmania chagasi in the urban areas, hence, we devised a cross-sectional study aimed at assessing the prevalence of the infection in the dogs of riverside communities on Cuiabá River watershed by parasitological (parasitic isolation in culture), serological, and molecular methods. Of the 248 surveyed dogs, 24 were positive in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), with a prevalence of 9.7%. The riverside communities located in the town of Santo Antonio do Leverger displayed a higher prevalence of the disease than the cities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Dogs born in the communities had a 3.24-fold higher risk of acquiring the infection. Promastigote were isolated in the axenic culture from the bone marrow samples and intact skin. Further, DNA of Leishmania sp. was detected in the bone marrow samples, lymph nodes, leukocyte cover, and skin of only one examined dog. These samples were sequenced and they showed 99% homology to L. infantum. To conclude, we observed a higher prevalence of infection in Riverside communities of Santo Antonio do Leverger and the confirmation of autochthony in these areas justifies the surveillance actions to minimise the risk of transmission within the riverine community itself, besides its dissemination to other areas by tourism.

Full textAbstract:
The Evueví (commonly known as the “Payaguá”), a Guaycuruan tribe in southern South America, dominated the Paraguay and Paraná rivers for more than three centuries. Non-sedentary, similar in nature to the Chichimecas of northern Mexico and the Araucanians of southern Chile, the Evueví were riverine Indians whose life was seriously disrupted by the westward expansion of the Spanish and Portuguese in the Gran Chaco and Mato Grosso regions. This study will identify Evueví strategies for survival and analyze the nature of intercultural contact between the Indian and Spanish cultures. A study of the ethnohistory of the Evueví contributes to an understanding of the cultural adaptation of a non-sedentary indigenous tribe on the Spanish frontier whose salient features were prolonged Indian wars, Indian slavery, and missions. Such an analysis also provides an opportunity to analyze European attitudes and perceptions of a South American indigenous culture. Unlike other Amerindians, the unique characteristic of the Evueví was that Europeans perceived them as river pirates during the colonial era.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Three different methods for analyzing natural microbial community diversity were combined to maximize an estimate of the richness of bacterioplankton catabolizing riverine dissolved organic matter (RDOM). We also evaluated the ability of culture-dependent quantitative DNA-DNA hybridization, a 16S rRNA gene clone library, and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to detect bacterial taxa in the same sample. Forty-two different cultivatable strains were isolated from rich and poor solid media. In addition, 50 unique clones were obtained by cloning of the bacterial 16S rDNA gene amplified by PCR from the community DNA into an Escherichia coli vector. Twenty-three unique bands were sequenced from 12 DGGE profiles, excluding a composite fuzzy band of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group. The different methods gave similar distributions of taxa at the genus level and higher. However, the match at the species level among the methods was poor, and only one species was identified by all three methods. Consequently, all three methods identified unique subsets of bacterial species, amounting to a total richness of 97 operational taxonomic units in the experimental system. The confidence in the results was, however, dependent on the current precision of the phylogenetic determination and definition of the species. Bacterial consumers of RDOM in the studied estuary were primarily both cultivatable and uncultivable taxa of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group, a concordant result among the methods applied. Culture-independent methods also suggested several not-yet-cultivated β-proteobacteria to be RDOM consumers.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1990s, in the riverine areas of Nigeria, the ecological menace of water hyacinth has been turned into an object of politics by various administrations. Among the Ilajes, an oil-rich community in the southwestern part of Nigeria, water hyacinth is considered to be poisonous and an impediment to people’s livelihoods. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the authors explore how an invasive species, known locally as lakuwa – translated as ‘proceed to your death’ – gets inserted into the politics of oil distribution. They argue that, just like oil, water hyacinth presents certain features that enable its conversion from poisonous species to money, and the article particularly explores how the conversion of water hyacinth, an ecological ‘plague’, fits into popular narratives of environmental degradation in Nigeria. The authors argue that the invasive nature of water hyacinth warrants a form of state response that deepens already existing forms of prebendal political interactions between the environment, local political leaders, and their numerous followers.

Full textAbstract:
Perforated plates of fired clay have long been recognised as a component of Late Bronze Age material culture in south-eastern England, but recent developer-funded excavations have produced a wealth of new evidence. These artefacts, showing a considerable degree of standardisation, are now known from more than 70 sites, which show a markedly riverine and estuarine distribution along the lower Thames. Their function is still uncertain, but it is suggested that they were parts of ovens for baking bread, a new technology for food preparation in the later Bronze Age. Some of the largest assemblages of such plates are found at strongly defended sites, and it is further suggested that the baking and consumption of bread was particularly associated with such sites of social authority. The estuarine distribution is discussed in this paper, and it presents further evidence for the regionally distinctive nature of food consumption in later prehistory.

Full textAbstract:
Animals were given a preponderant position in Egyptian art, symbolism, and cultual practices. This thesis centres on the relationship between humans and animals during the predynastic period in Upper Egypt (Naqada I-IIIB, 4th millennium BCE), focusing on hippopotamus and crocodile as representatives of the Nile environment and antelope species as representatives of the desert environment. Depictions of these animals are analysed and compared with contemporary faunal remains derived from activities such as cult, funerary, or every day consumption. The material analysed covers several centuries: temporal evolutions and changes have been identified. The animals studied in this thesis were first used by the Naqada I-IIB elites as means to visually and practically express their power, which they envisioned in two contrasting and complementary ways. The responsibilities of the leaders were symbolised by the annihilation of negative wild forces primarily embodied by antelope species. In contrast, they symbolically appropriated positive wild forces, chief among them being the hippopotamus, from which they symbolically derived their power. Faunal remains from after mid-Naqada II are few, depictions of hippopotamus disappeared and those of crocodile became rare. Antelope species became preponderant, especially on D-ware vessels, which were accessible to non-elite people. However, toward the end of the predynastic period, antelope species came to be depicted almost exclusively on high elite material; they lost their individuality and became generic representatives of chaotic forces that the leaders and early rulers had to annihilate in order to maintain control and order.

The aim of this dissertation was to understand the perceptions that young riverine dwellers in the interior of the state of Amazonas have of the surrounding urban and rural spaces. To reach this understanding we used semi-structured interviews with young people aged 15-25, based on the theoretical guidance of Phenomenology. Our goal was to identify the significance and the future projects that the young people in the Santa Luzia do Baixio Community attribute to these spaces, as well as reveal their feeling of belonging to the place they live. The place here is understood as the world of perceptions and experiences, comprehended through the subjectivity and culture. The Baixio is a riverine community, known mostly for maintaining their cultural values, based on cooperation and a close relationship with nature. We asked ourselves if there were modifications in their way of life resulting from the relationship with the city. We perceived that the youth are intimately linked to family ties and the culture that gave them their identity. However, their projects for the future include attending university, and migrating seems to be the only solution for those that see education as their only option for a better future.
Esta dissertação objetivou compreender as percepções que jovens ribeirinhos do interior do estado do Amazonas possuem dos espaços cidade e campo, os quais circulam. Para alcançarmos esse entendimento utilizamos da entrevista semiestruturada em jovens com idade entre 15 e 25 anos, a partir da orientação teórica da Fenomenologia. Nosso objetivo foi identificar quais os significados e projetos de futuro que os jovens da Comunidade Santa Luzia do Baixio atribuem a esses espaços, bem como desvelar o sentimento de pertença dos jovens com o lugar onde moram. O lugar aqui é entendido como mundo das percepções e experiências espaciais, compreendidas através da subjetividade e da cultura. O Baixio é uma comunidade ribeirinha, conhecida por manter seus valores culturais, baseados na cooperação e relação estreita com a natureza. Perguntamo-nos se existiam modificações no seu modo de vida decorrente da relação que mantêm com a cidade. Percebemos que os jovens estão intimamente ligados aos laços familiares e a cultura que lhes dão identidade. Porém, seus projetos para o futuro inclui cursar uma universidade e migrar parece ser a única solução para aqueles que veem nos estudos a única opção para um futuro melhor.

This thesis was based on a cultural approach in geography and had the support base phenomenology that seeks through the human experience, individual and cultural make sense of the perceived space as it is presented, emphasizing the intentionality of perception, trying to recognize the possibility methodology in geographical science focused on understanding the lived world of riverside living in the city, particularly fishermen cities. This picture, was also valued the question of identity, as the (re) meaning of a place is revealed in the existence of an identity. For indigenous fishing highlighted as a major subsistence practices associated with agricultural and other extractive activities. This heritage is still present in the Riverine Communities in the state. This way, we sought to understand the place from the culture in this riverside city, what cultural resistance still exist for those who came from the interior of Amazonas state and other states of Brazil to the Riverside Communities located near the city of Manaus, and with the influences of urban culture have contributed to a new configuration of live of fishermen who live here.
Esta dissertação foi fundamentada numa abordagem cultural dentro da geografia e teve como base de sustentação a fenomenologia que busca por meio da experiência humana, individual, e cultural dar sentido ao espaço percebido tal como ele se apresenta, destacando a intencionalidade da percepção, buscando reconhecer possibilidade metodológica na ciência geográfica centrada na percepção do mundo vivido dos ribeirinhos que vivem na cidade, em particular os pescadores citadinos. Diante deste quadro, também foi valorizada a questão da identidade, pois a (re) significação de um lugar revela-se na existência de uma identidade. Para os povos indígenas a pesca se destacava como uma das principais práticas de subsistência associada às demais atividades extrativistas e agrícolas. Essa herança cultural ainda se faz presente nas Comunidades Ribeirinhas do interior do Estado. Dessa forma, foi buscado compreender o lugar a partir da cultura ribeirinha presente na cidade, quais resistências culturais ainda persistem para aqueles que vieram do interior do Estado do Amazonas e de outros Estados do Brasil para as Comunidades Ribeirinhas localizadas nos arredores da cidade de Manaus, e quais as influências da cultura urbana contribuíram para uma nova configuração dos modos de vida dos pescadores que aqui vivem.

Full textAbstract:
Bengala passou por enormes experiências de desenvolvimento sócio‐cultural, de estabilidade
económica e de avanço da literatura e das artes. Durante o reinado Budista, Hindu e do
Sultanato, a sociedade foi‐se valorizando e enriquecendo com estes diferentes valores e a
amálgama cultural que representaram. Esta coexistência foi evoluindo e as pessoas começaram
a dedicar‐se ao comércio, mas foram organizando e reformando a própria sociedade. O
verdadeiro "renascimento" desta política económica e cultural Bengali seguiu um determinado
caminho entre os possíveis. Para se manter e para proteger o território dos inimigos e de todas
as ameaças externas, os “heróis” antigos foram previdentes, desenvolvendo uma forte
capacidade em reforçar território fortificado, que designamos por cidade‐fortaleza. Esta tipo de
cidade histórica planeada foi implantada, com variações, neste delta Bengali; por isso, os
padrões de instalação e ocupação antigos foram observados na sua relação com as margens
ribeirinhas e os recursos de água adjacentes e centrados em torno de uma estrutura religiosa.
Uma cronologia popular no país ajuda a compreender a formação de um povoado ou de uma
cidade. Na era Budista, a comunidade religiosa, o bazar e as vias marítimas eram o ponto central
que concentram a mistura de pessoas e nações. Este sítio não foi excepção do delta de Bengali,
embora esta tese fosse sinuosa e estivesse no meio de uma grande rede fluvial; os antigos
dirigentes face à necessidade de criar sistemas de protecção territorial foram gerando os
diversos padrões de assentamento e ocupação, com mega‐estruturas, infraestruturas e uma
arquitectura público que se foram tornando os elementos característicos do domínio do espaço.
Essas fortalezas ribeirinhas foram organizando padrões de assentamento cujas características
variavam em função das percepções estratégicas e da morfologia do sítio; afinal estas foram as
cidades do Delta que, além do perfil do rio, muitas vezes dependeram de influências locais e
tradicionais. Neste delta Bengal, a cidade podia obedecer a tipos diferentes, mas, no geral, havia
um padrão geral de ocupação das cidades que os administradores budistas antigos concebiam
com um planejamento estratégico e uma morfologia que ía além da muralha do forte. O
objectivo desta investigação é, em primeiro lugar, identificar e analisar a morfologia das antigas
cidades‐fortaleza e os padrões de assentamentos em termos das suas estratégias de defesa e da
arquitectura que organizava a ligação ao rio da terra Bengali. Em segundo lugar, o contexto e a
organização do planeamento e lugar das estruturas fortificadas, abordando‐as numa
perspectiva de conjectura, através do trabalho pictográfico e ilustrado. O antigo assentamento e
a própria arquitectura de MAHASTHAN, um sítio datado do século VIII AD é um local ideal para
essa investigação, dado ser um local de memória, de um espaço evocativo, ter um "sentido de
lugar" e, claro, um padrão espacial tradicional flexível em relação as condições regionais e às
construção tradicionais deste delta Bengali. Por fim, o estudo irá explorar a imagem
(restauração conjectural) da escala da cidade, do espaço, da função e do sentido cultural do
próprio bairro da antiga povoação ribeirinha, através da revisão crítica da literatura, do
conhecimento das sucessivas escavações arqueológicas e com a ajuda da informação histórica
pictográfica. O estudo irá explorar ainda o significado desses antigos assentamentos no
subcontinente e a sua transformação em Bengali, focando as estratégias actuais de defesa e a
sua manifestação física, bem como o papel que pode ter o Património Digital; Riverine Fortress city of `MAHASTHAN´ in Deltaic Bengal:
In search for the traditional settlement pattern of ancient cities
Abstract:
Bengal had passed through enormous experiences of socio‐cultural development, economical stabilities,
advancement in literature and arts. During the reign of Buddhist, Hindu and Sultanate Bengal the society
was cherished and enriched with full of values and cultural amalgamation. Co‐existence in the society
evolved up and people started occupying time in trade‐transaction and society reformation. The ‘rebirth’
of the Bengali cultural consistency took a way forward to immense possible trails. To remain retain
established and to protect the territory from external forces as well as the enemies, the ancient heroes
had prepared themselves, besides invented with strong capability to reinforce fortified territory or the
fortress city. The historic city planning implanted with different characteristics, and prolonged with
variations in this delta land of Bengal. Ancient Bengal was focused with their settlement pattern by the
bank of the river or by the watery sources. Settlement in the ancient time used to develop centering a
religious structure. Eventually; it is the popular chronology for deriving a hamlet or a town. For the
Buddhist era, religious community, bazaar and the maritime route came to focus with the mixture of
various people and the nation. Simply, it was no exception for the case of the delta land Bengal, although
this mainland is curved and chiseled with cress cross river networks; the ancient heroes contributed
outposts for territorial protection and thoroughly generated the pattern of settlement. Mega structures,
infrastructures and public welfare architecture were becoming the notion of the domain. That river fort
architecture and the settlement patterns had the strategic and morphological characteristics, which got
different from other purpose built forts, nonetheless‐was in consistence with the local city context.
Bengali riverine fortress cities experienced lots of local and traditional influences only for being the river
fort and their settlement around it, stating from the component, elements of forts and formal profile of the
river. So, undoubtedly Bengal conceived unique kind of riverine oriented fortress settlement pattern,
which has distinct typescripts. Even in the case of this fort formation the ancient Buddhist administrators
had some strategic planning, morphology for spread city beyond the fort wall. The objective of the
research is firstly to identify and to analyse the morphology of the ancient fortress cities1 and settlements
in terms of their defence strategies and river fort architecture of Bengal. Secondly the context and the
planning organization and positioning the sites for fortification addressing pictographic and conjectural
restoration2 includes ancient city formation through river‐fort architecture in Bengal. The ancient
settlement and architecture, dated back 8th Century AD of a specific site of MAHASTHAN would be the
intensive area of the research, its memory, space, ‘sense of place’ and the traditional spatial pattern would
be the intensive area of the study that would remind flexible towards regional conditions and building
tradition as happened in riverine ancient Bengal. Lastly the study will explore the image (conjectural
restoration) of the scale of the city, space, function and cultural longing of the neighbourhood pattern of
ancient riverine settlement, through the critical literature reviewing, progressive archaeological
excavation and by the referencing of historic pictographic information. The study will explore for
meaning of ancient settlements in the subcontinent and its transformation in Bengal with a focus on

Full textAbstract:
Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2015-2016Les plantations d’arbres sont fréquemment employées en milieux riverains pour restaurer les services écologiques de ces milieux fortement dégradés par l’intensification agricole. Néanmoins, les connaissances demeurent fragmentaires quant à la réponse des communautés végétales riveraines aux plantations d’arbres. Cette thèse vise à identifier certains des mécanismes de recolonisation des communautés végétales riveraines après plantation d’arbres en paysages agricoles. Pour cela, quatre questions principales étaient posées, soit : 1) l’intensification agricole réduit-elle le succès de plantation des arbres ?; 2) la plantation d’arbres induit-elle des processus de succession végétale aboutissant au retour de communautés forestières ?; 3) quels processus spatiaux et mécanismes écologiques structurent la diversité végétale riveraine ?; et 4) la disponibilité en lumière, la compétition et les conditions édaphiques sont-elles des filtres écologiques limitant la recolonisation des espèces forestières ? L’augmentation de la fréquence de cultures annuelles dans la parcelle adjacente aux milieux riverains diminuait la survie et la croissance des arbres plantés, témoignant d’un effet négatif de l’intensification agricole sur le succès de plantation des arbres. Toutefois, les arbres induisaient une succession végétale aboutissant avec le temps au retour d’une structure de végétation, d’une abondance des groupes écologiques et d’une composition en espèces similaires à celles des forêts riveraines utilisées comme écosystème de référence. De plus, cette succession végétale correspondait à un modèle de threshold dynamics dans lequel les espèces sciaphiles remplaçaient les héliophiles après le dépassement d’un seuil de disponibilité en lumière. Les processus spatiaux le long des rivières d’amont en aval contribuaient majoritairement à la composition végétale des milieux riverains comparativement aux processus spatiaux bidirectionnels à vol d’oiseau ou le long des rivières. Ces processus spatiaux amont-aval étaient principalement liés aux traits des graines des espèces végétales. En d’autres termes, la dispersion hydrochore est un processus-clef pour la diversité végétale riveraine. Finalement, la recolonisation de deux des trois espèces forestières transplantées en milieux riverains était réduite soit par de faibles niveaux d’ombrage, par la compétition ou par les sols agricoles. Ces avancées scientifiques permettront une meilleure compréhension du fonctionnement des communautés végétales riveraines et une amélioration des pratiques de restauration des milieux riverains en paysages agricoles.
Tree planting is frequently conducted in riparian zones to restore the ecological services of these ecotones widely degraded by agricultural intensification. Nevertheless, little is known about the response of riparian plant communities to tree planting. This Ph.D. thesis aims to identify some important recolonization mechanisms of riparian plant communities after tree planting in agricultural landscapes. Accordingly, four main research questions were raised: 1) does agricultural intensification reduce the establishment success of planted trees?; 2) does tree planting induce a plant succession leading to the re-establishment of plant communities characteristic of natural riparian forests?; 3) which spatial processes and ecological mechanisms structure plant diversity in riparian zones?; 4) do light availability, competition and soil conditions act as ecological filters limiting the recolonization of forest herbs? The increase in cultivation frequency of annual crops in the agricultural field adjacent to riparian zone reduced the survival and growth of planted trees, thereby demonstrating the detrimental impact of agricultural intensification on the establishment success of planted trees. However, trees induced a pattern of plant succession leading to the re-establishment of a vegetation structure, an abundance of ecological groups and a species composition characteristic of natural riparian forests. Furthermore, this type of plant succession corresponded to a model of threshold dynamics in which shade-tolerant species outcompeted light-demanding species after an ecological threshold related to light availability had been crossed. Upstream to downstream spatial processes along rivers, predominantly contributed to the plant composition of riparian zones, more so than bidirectional spatial processes overland or along rivers. These upstream-downstream processes were mostly linked to the traits of plant seeds. In other words, hydrochory was highlighted as a key watershed-scale process driving riparian plant diversity. Finally, the recolonization of two of the three forest herbs transplanted in riparian zones was reduced either by low shade levels, competition or agricultural soil. These scientific discoveries deepen our understanding of the functioning of riparian plant communities in agricultural landscapes, and promote more successful restoration of riparian zones.

Full textAbstract:
This book has constructed a portrait of the multiethnic nineteenth-century world that gave birth to blackface minstrelsy using primary sources such as demographics, tune repertoires, archival materials, and most especially iconography. Drawing on evidence from the biographical experience and visual reporting of William Sidney Mount, it has also presented a more expansive history than blackface scholarship has formerly recognized. It has argued that the resources and conditions for the creole synthesis existed across the riverine and maritime zones of North America, and that these conditions produced the creole street-performance idioms that were the sources of blackface theatrics. In investigating the riverine and maritime, geographic, demographic, ethnic, and musical roots of blackface minstrelsy, the book has elucidated the processes of cross-cultural encounter, collision, and piebald synthesis by which American popular culture has always been and is still defined.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the musical, cultural, and sociological elements of blackface minstrelsy's “creole synthesis” throughout the Caribbean and the British colonies of North America. It argues that the conditions for the creole synthesis were present virtually from the first encounters of Anglo-Europeans and Africans in the New World. The chapter discusses the riverine, maritime, and frontier social contexts that shaped the music of blackface's African American sources and their Anglo-Celtic imitators. In particular, it considers creole synthesis in the Caribbean and in frontiers such as New Orleans and the Ohio. It also looks at a preliminary example of iconographic analysis that reflects the riverine and maritime creole synthesis: James Henry Beard's 1846 painting Western Raftsmen. The chapter contends that blackface minstrelsy was pioneered by George Washington Dixon and Thomas Dartmouth Rice in the 1830s and codified by Joel Walker Sweeney and Daniel Decatur Emmett (and the blackface troupes they founded) in the early 1840s, and thus represents the earliest comparatively accurate and extensive observation, description, and imitation of African American performance in the New World.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to 2010, the only major literature on the manifestation of the Shell Mound Archaic in the Middle Cumberland River Valley of Tennessee was an unpublished dissertation and technical or avocational reports. Recent research by the coeditors reveals that there are nearly forty Archaic shell-bearing sites in the region. This volume brings together multiple lines of evidence to more fully examine a major cultural phase that has been virtually overlooked in the professional literature. We approach this topic by incorporating data and discussions of recent research at Archaic shell-bearing sites in the western Middle Cumberland River Valley combined with contemporary examinations of prior investigations, which until now have been difficult for scholars to access. The data presented in this volume are a testament to the sustainability of riverine adaptions in antiquity.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes maritime archaeology in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The first explorations of the Gulf was undertaken in the sixteenth century. The ability to conduct archaeological work in this region is hindered by many environmental factors. The coastal topography is often shallow, necessitating the use of smaller vessels for easy bay and riverine entry. High-visibility dives environments in some areas of the Gulf facilitate discovery and recordation of wreck sites. Government involvement and intervention has led to the protection of some archaeological sites. Remote sensing surveys have identified some of the oldest shipwrecks in the gulf in the North American region. This article summarizes this area's specific shipwreck sites and emphasizes historical events that relate to archaeological discoveries through case studies. Improved data-collection techniques and public outreach can aid in discovering and protecting the Gulf's maritime cultural resources.

The essay sketches the activity of Abbot Ubertus from San Miniato, who rebuilt the church and worked to promote the monastic complex as a spiritual pole, a cultural centre, and a shelter for poor and pilgrims, condolidating monastic estates in the nearby country of Ripoli, where he acquired properties thenceforward important for monks’ economy and social relationships. During the XIIth century, like many other Florentine religious institutions, San Miniato cooperated in the urbanization, favouring accomodations of people coming from the south of Florentine territory in buildings located along the left Arno riverside.

Full textAbstract:
While Archaic shell-bearing sites along the coastal margins of the southeastern United States have been the subject of multi-year investigations, interior riverine shell-bearing sites have, with the exception ofCarlstonAnnis on the Green River in Kentucky, garnered only limited study. Nevertheless, the combined data from coastal and interior shell-bearing sites have led to broad regional interpretations of the Shell Mound Archaic and debate between archaeologists about site construction and function. Archaic shell-bearing sites in the southeastern United States vary widely in terms of chronologies, horizontal and vertical structure, the types of cultural features they contain, and molluscan species composition. This has led to a growing realization that Archaic shell-bearing sites cannot—or should not—be lumped into a single pan-regional culture and that the “mound vs. midden” debate presents an interpretive logjam that does not satisfactorily address local and regional variations. The specific chronologies and composition of Archaic shell-bearing sites in the Middle Cumberland River Valley of Middle Tennessee constitute a unique regional phenomenon distinct from other interior riverine sites lumped within the Shell Mound Archaic paradigm.

This chapter explores the possibility of reconstructing the coastal life based on epigraphic sources found from the study area. Apart from the Pala and Sena inscriptions, the area under consideration yielded a significant number of epigraphic records issued by several regional lineages from the post-Gupta period onwards. The evidence found from them highlight different aspects such as coastal ecology, riverine traffic, navy, the coastal way of life, polity and, of course, the socio-cultural parameters that were equally witnessed both in the hinterland and the coastal regions. The portrayal of the epigraphic sources clearly shows that their contents supplement the archaeological sources in various ways.

Full textAbstract:
Through ethnographic focus on ‘Messy Church’ at Riverside Church (open evangelical), Chapter 7 turns to examine shifting ethical currents within conservative, charismatic, and open evangelical cultures. Considering the contemporary significance of ideas of ‘mess’ and ‘messiness’ at Riverside and St George’s churches, the chapter argues that this turn to ‘mess’ at both churches is shaped by both a strategy of differentiation from conservative evangelicalism—which emphasizes a desire for hierarchical order within church, self, and society—and by an ethics of responsiveness to the everyday needs of those in their local area, marked by heightened socio-economic polarization. How groups engage with ideas of ‘order’ and ‘mess’, the chapter argues, is significant for understanding how different groups respond to fragmented experiences of social life, and how they enact modes of difference and belonging in the contemporary moment.

This introductory chapter first sets out the book's purpose, which is to present a new archaeological case for prehistoric human impact on the environment: a study of ecological and cultural change from the arid south coast of Peru, beginning around 700 bc and culminating in a collapse by about ad 1000. Its focus is the lower Ica Valley, today largely depopulated and bereft of cultivation, but whose abundant archaeological remains attest to substantial prehistoric occupations and thereby present a prima facie case for changed environmental conditions. This is a place of extreme environmental juxtaposition: one of the world's oldest and driest deserts, crossed by lush riverine oases, and sporadically impacted by El Niño floods or long droughts. An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explains how the British officials learned about the intricacies of coexisting with water. Along with ecological impacts, human interventions too wrought changes that called for regulation and corrective measures. This state intervention began through a complex as well as difficult redesigning of the floodplain landscape. The utilitarian and cultural imagination of the Assamese peasants hardly distinguished the islands of the river from that of the vast stretches of sandy riverbanks. Both were inseparable. Nineteenth-century Assamese lexicons described both as chapori. A cartographic division of this riverine geography began to take shape in the legal and revenue parlance of the British officials in Assam. Familiar with the vocabulary of Bengal, the British officials began to make a distinction between the two; the islands came to be mentioned as chars while the river banks were described as chaporis. The chars were looked down upon as the unfortunate geographical extension of the chaporis.

Full textAbstract:
Turtles and their eggs have long served as an important source of food for humans—almost certainly since very early in the evolution of the hominid lineage, and surely for at least the last 20,000 years (Nicholls, 1977). Evidence in the form of shells and skeletal material (some showing burn marks as evidence of cooking) in the middens of Paleolithic aboriginal cultures, and from eyewitness accounts of explorer-naturalists in more recent times is available from numerous locations around the world (e.g., Bates, 1863; St. Cricq, 1874; Goode, 1967; Rhodin, 1992, 1995; Pritchard, 1994; Lee, 1996; Stiner et al., 1999). Skeletal evidence of river turtles, in particular from such locations as Mohenjodaro and Harappa in the Indus Valley (e.g., Indian narrow-headed softshells and river terrapins), Mayapan, and many other Mesoamerican Mayan sites (e.g., Central American river turtles), and Naga ed-Der of Upper Ancient Egypt (e.g., Nile softshell) suggest that river turtles have helped to support the rise of the world's great civilizations as well (de Treville, 1975; Nath, 1959 in Groombridge & Wright, 1982; Das, 1991; Lee, 1996). Their role continues and, in fact, has expanded as human populations have burgeoned and spread throughout the modern world. River turtles have always been too convenient and succulent a source of protein to ignore. Often large, fecund, and easily collected with simple techniques and equipment, especially in communal nesters which may concentrate at nesting sites in helpless thousands (at least formerly), river turtles are ideal prey. Much of the harvesting has been, and continues to be, conducted in relative obscurity in many parts of the world. Occasionally, however, the sheer magnitude of the resource and its slaughter has attracted the attention of literate observers, such as the early explorer-naturalists of the New and Old World tropics. Their accounts have given us some idea of the former truly spectacular abundance of some riverine species, and the equally spectacular levels of consistent exploitation which have brought them to their modern, much-diminished condition. Summaries of the exploitation of the two best documented examples of destruction of formerly abundant riverine species, the Asian river terrapin, and the giant South American river turtle, are provided under their appropriate geographic sections below.

Full textAbstract:
The detection of abrupt changes in natural populations of social and nonsocial animals as a result of perturbations is challenging. This chapter highlights some empirical examples from the literature and the author’s own studies, and the responses of populations of species with different degree of sociality are compared. To overcome the difficulties of obtaining field population data, theoretical approaches can be very useful for simulating these responses from social feedbacks. These models show the influence of social information and social copying to generate nonlinear population dynamics, such as bifurcations and cascades. The chapter’s final section explores the stability properties of populations subjected to perturbations and the role of social feedbacks for resilience. These properties depend on the time of occupation of the patch, its suitability compared to other patches, and the type of perturbation (e.g. pulsed, in regime, or in combination). This section ends by exploring how social copying influences collective cultural innovations of social populations under perturbations. For instance, the American Pueblo tribe colonized riverine habitats and changed their way of living following the collapse of their original habitat due to droughts and tribal fights.

Full textAbstract:
The bunker network built in the twentieth century between the Bay of Cádiz and the mouth of the Guadalquivir RiverThe Andalusian Defensive Architecture Plan (PADA) justifies the legal protection of all Andalusian defensive architecture based on the historical condition of the region as a border of kingdoms and civilizations. It supports by using the Decree of April 22, 1949 on the protection of Spanish castles; to the subsequent Law 16/1985 on Spanish Historical Heritage, which declared Bien de Interés Cultural the assets included in the Decree of 1949; and extending the term “castle” to the more generic of “defensive architecture” or “military architecture”. However, the fortification of the twentieth century in Andalusia hardly has any protection. Devices such as the north shore of the Strait or the Bay of Cádiz remain unnoticed and abandoned to their fate. The objective of this contribution is to present this device: the defensive network of bunkers for machine guns and / or anti-tank guns executed in the surroundings of the Bay of Cádiz and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River (from Chiclana de la Frontera to Almonte, passing through Cádiz, Rota or Sanlúcar de Barrameda, among others). Due to the territorial condition of the system, georeferencing and parametrization tools will be applied to the original planimetry located in the Southern Military Intermediate Archive of Seville, deepening in what was the setup and tactical sense of the works around 1945.
