Last year, inspi- ration For this journal arose from a conversation regarding the underappreciated talent Iof collegiate scholars. Today, the Vanguard is an avenue For talented, young researchers to share their work at the undergraduate level. The articles published exemplify the unique perspectives, scholarly ambition, and profound research from our authors. Their research is of exemplary quality and should be celebrated. The staff of this publication is comprised exclusively of students at the small, liberal arts school of Carthage. “The Vanguard” name was created to describe the group’s mission: to create a multi-disciplinary journal by undergraduate students that could publish exemplary work from every corner of academia. While this name’s original meaning (troops moving at in this context as it denotes a group of people leading the way in a new development. The journal did just this in the past year by accepting submissions from undergraduates of other universities nationwide, thus broadening the scope and depth of perspectives and research. A special thank you to our advisor, Joe Wall, without whom this journal would not be pos- sible. Professor Wall has been a key proponent For the journal since its inception, and he embodies the leader we all aspire to become: one who chases his dreams, emanates happi- ness, and proves that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. Thank you For believing in us; I am truly blessed to call you both a professor and mentor. To our team: this journal would not have been as successful without each and every one of you; I am proud of all of your efforts, dedication, and assitance throughout the process. To Gregory Woodward, Julio Rivera, and Dennis Munk, your academic advice was fundamental and much appreciat- ed. To Ed Smeds, our generous benefactor, we extend our graditutde. Your monetary assis- tance for this venture made the efforts for The Carthage Vanguard feasible. This journal recognizes the abilities of undergraduate scholars. I hope you enjoy the arti- cles and catch a spark of inspiration. Thanks again - it’s been an incredible journey. Best regards, Cami Christopulos Cami Christopulos Editor of Humanities and Social Sciences 5 The Carthage Vanguard Volume 2 A Letter from the College Provost ou hold in your hands the second issue of the Carthage Vanguard Interdisciplinary Re- search Journal. As you page through it, you will be as impressed as I am at the range Yand quality of the work it includes. You will have the opportunity to learn from the outstanding work of our Carthage students, now joined in this issue by work from across the country. Undergraduate research is one of the hallmarks of a Carthage education. Through the various activities that Fall under this rubric, students apply what they have learned in the classroom in new and important ways. They gain important insight into the world of work knowledge, upon which the future breakthroughs so important to our world will be based. The Carthage Vanguard speaks to this last Feature of undergraduate education, and in a way entirely consistent with the Carthage undergraduate experience. It is fully operated by undergraduate students, who maintain responsibility For all aspects of the publication. They ensure quality by Following a double-blind review process consistent with the practices of our most respected academic journals. So: enjoy! I am certain that the Carthage Vanguard will continue to be an important part of the intellectual life of Carthage College. Sincerely, David Garcia Provost, Carthage College 6 The Carthage Vanguard Volume 2 The Cult of Destructivity: Mothers and Daughters in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss By Emily Brownell This examination of George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss focuses its attention on the relationships between mothers and daughters in the novel. The argument is root- ed in a historical context created by a dialogue between Mary Wollstonecraft, with reliance on her Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and George Eliot. The primary relationship examined is Maggie Tulliver’s relationship with her biological mother, Elizabeth Tulliver. However, for the purposes of the argument, the word “mother” is that “we look back through our mothers if we are women” (1989). With respect to other “mothers” such as Mrs. Stelling, the schoolteacher’s wife, and the archetypal “mothers” created in the books that she reads. The historical context for this text fo- cuses on the education of women and Wollstonecraft’s assertion that this education should be expanded in order to cultivate a woman’s mind in addition to her domestic abilities. Ultimately, this system of education, arising out of the Victorian

  • Cryptic Female Mantids Signal Quality Through Brightness
    Functional Ecology 2015, 29, 531–539 doi: 10.1111/1365-2435.12363 Sexual signals for the colour-blind: cryptic female mantids signal quality through brightness Katherine L. Barry*, Thomas E. White, Darshana N. Rathnayake, Scott A. Fabricant and Marie E. Herberstein Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Summary 1. Cryptic coloration may evolve in response to selective pressure imposed by predators, yet effective intraspecific communication may require some level of detectability. This creates a tension between the benefits of sexually selected visual traits and the predatory costs imposed by greater conspicuousness, and little is known about how this tension may be ameliorated in highly cryptic species. 2. We explore these competing demands in the false garden mantid Pseudomantis albofimbriata, a colour-blind and seemingly cryptic insect. We use reflectance spectrometry and receptor-noise modelling to characterize the conspicuousness of mantid body regions in the visual systems of mates (mantids), as well as potential predators (birds) and prey (bees). We then use condition manipulation and conspecific choice tests to further explore the colour traits of interest. 3. Based on visual modelling, we find that male mantids are inconspicuous to conspecifics, prey and predators – that is, they are chromatically and achromatically cryptic. In contrast, female mantids are chromatically cryptic to all potential receivers, but their abdomens are achromatically conspicuous. Our food manipulation experiment shows that females in good condition (and therefore with more eggs) have brighter abdomens than females in poor condition. Choice assays show male mantids are consistently attracted to females bearing brighter abdomens. 4. Our results reveal brightness-mediated sexual signalling in a colour-blind and classically cryptic insect.

Longo, 19, Catania, Italy ABSTRACT The first presence records of the Giant African Mantis Sphodromantis viridis (Forskål, 1775) (Insecta Mantoidea) are reported for Sicily and Greece, with new evidences on the human- mediated spreading of this species in the Mediterranean area. In Greece, Sphodromantis viridis meets the distribution of the Giant Asian Mantis Hierodula tenuidentata (Saussure, 1869), and these two mantids have been recorded together in the same locality. Some single records from France and Corsica also open the possible expansion of this species in more northern regions. These different spreading dynamics, taking place in the Mediterranean area, in a fast-evolving scenario, are here discussed.
