Abstract:

Temperate zone ants overwinter using a variety of mechanisms. The genus Formica overwinters entirely as adults. In at least one species it has been demonstrated that winter workers are more corpulent than summer foragers, storing resources in their bodies and mobilizing them for early brood production in spring. Here we examine overwintering by the common western thatch ant, F. obscuripes. Excavation of a winter nest revealed only workers, distributed in multiple chambers in a roughly spherical region from 0.5 to 1.05 m deep. Worker size, as measured by head width, was weakly bimodal, with few

Abstract:

In light of official reports indicating a still prevalent tendency to masculinized obesity and overweight in Japan (Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare, 2015), this article explores the experiences of 28 Japanese men grappling with bodyweight control. Aged between 24 and 67, 3 of the men were postgraduate or undergraduate students, 7 self-employed, 17 company workers and 1 retired. Fourteen hold a university degree, 1 completed senior high school and 10 finished 3-year junior college. Twelve were married and 16 were single. Ten of the participants have been requested to lose weight because o

During World War II, the Soviet Union’s food supply was in a state of crisis. Hitler’s army had occupied the agricultural heartlands of Ukraine and Southern Russia in 1941 and, as a result, agricultural production for the entire nation had plummeted. Soldiers in Red Army, who easily ate the best rations in the country, subsisted on a daily allowance of just under a kilogram of bread, supplemented with meat, tea, sugar and butter when and if these items were available. The hunger of the Red Army and its effect on the morale and strength of Europe’s eastern warfront were causes for concern for t
