ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology. -

EL SARGENTO EDUARDO RUIZ ALGUACIL, HÉROE ANÓNIMO DE LA GUERRA DE FILIPINAS Sergeant Eduardo Ruiz Alguacil, Anonymous Hero of Philippine War Manuel Villegas Ruiz1 [email protected] Este trabajo es el recorrido de la historia militar del Sargento del Ejército español, D. Eduardo Ruiz Alguacil, tomada de la Licencia que le fue concedida, tras haber pasado doce años (8-12-1894 a 19-3-1906) prestando servicios castrenses bajo la Bandera espa- ñola, desde su ingreso en Caja y su desplazamiento a Melilla, así como su participación en la Guerra de Filipinas, integrado en el Batallón de Cazadores Expedicionarios nº 10; con la enumeración de las acciones guerreras en las que tomó parte, los lugares en que estuvo, lo mismo que las cruces y medallas que, por su heroicidad, le fueron concedidas. *** INTRODUCCIÓN La lectura ocasional de la Licencia del Ejército español de este militar, cuyo origi- nal conservamos en nuestro poder, nos dio pie para pensar que podríamos llevar a cabo un trabajo sobre su vida castrense transcurrida en un periodo no muy lejano de la His- toria de nuestra Patria. Se trata de la Guerra de Filipinas en la que intervinieron tantos héroes anónimos, como en todas las guerras, y cuyas acciones no son recogidas en los libros de Historia, ni difundidas por los medios de comunicación. 1 Dr. En Filosofía y Letras (Geografía e Historia). El Futuro del Pasado, nº 4, 2013, pp. 557-590 ISSN: 1989-9289 557 TEXTOS DE INTERÉS Por ello consideramos que hablar sobre él podría llenar una pequeña laguna histó- rica exponiendo su anónima vida militar. -
Are Insular Populations of the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax Erythrogenys) Steps in a Cline?
The Condor 115(3):576–583 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2013 ARE INSULAR POPULATIONS OF THE PHILIPPINE FALCONET (MICROHIERAX ERYTHROGENYS) STEPS IN A CLINE? TODD E. KATZNER1,2,5 AND NIGEL J. COLLAR3,4 1Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506-6125 2USDA Forest Service, Timber and Watershed Laboratory, Parsons, WV 3BirdLife International, Cambridge CB3 0NA, UK 4Natural History Museum, Tring, Herts HP23 6AP, UK Abstract. Founder effects, new environments, and competition often produce changes in species colonizing islands, although the resulting endemism sometimes requires molecular identification. One method to identify fruitful areas for more detailed genetic study is through comparative morphological analyses. We measured 210 museum specimens to evaluate the potential morphological consequences of colonization across the Philippine archipelago by the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys). Measurements of both males and females dif- fered clearly from island to island. Univariate and multivariate analysis of characteristics showed a latitudinal gra- dient, with the bill, wing, and tail of southern birds being larger than those of northern birds, forming the pattern of a stepped cline across a succession of islands. The stepped gradient in morphology and extensive differences between islands we observed provide evidence for multiple perspectives on phylogeny, including concordance with aggregate complexes expected on the basis of sea-level fluctuations. However, calculation of diagnosability indices did not support subspecific designations. Sex-specific dominance and dispersal patterns may explain this unusual south-to-north stepped cline, and they also provide a useful format for understanding biogeographical patterns by island. Finally, these morphological data suggest a potentially fruitful area for future genetic studies. -
ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE in the PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-Largest Archipelago in the World Comprising 7,641 Islands
ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-largest archipelago in the world comprising 7,641 islands Current population is 100 million, but projected to reach 125 million by 2030; most people, particularly the poor, depend on biodiversity 114 species of amphibians 240 Protected Areas 228 Key Biodiversity Areas 342 species of reptiles, 68% are endemic One of only 17 mega-diverse countries for harboring wildlife species found 4th most important nowhere else in the world country in bird endemism with 695 species More than 52,177 (195 endemic and described species, half 126 restricted range) of which are endemic 5th in the world in terms of total plant species, half of which are endemic Home to 5 of 7 known marine turtle species in the world green, hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and leatherback turtles ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE The value of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is estimated at $10 billion–$23 billion per year, making wildlife crime the fourth most lucrative illegal business after narcotics, human trafficking, and arms. The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential -
Philippine Crocodile Crocodylus Mindorensis Merlijn Van Weerd
Philippine Crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis Merlijn van Weerd Centre of Environmental Science, Leiden University, Abel Tasmanstraat 5bis, Utrecht 3531 GR, Netherlands ([email protected]) Common Names: Philippine crocodile (English), buwaya 2009 IUCN Red List: CR (Critically Endangered. Criteria (general Philippines), bukarot (northern Luzon) A1c. Observed decline in extent of occurrence >80% in 3 generations. C2a. Less than 250 adults in the wild, populations highly fragmented and declining; IUCN 2009) (last assessed Range: Philippines in 1996). Taxonomic Status The Philippine crocodile was described in 1935 by Karl Schmidt on the basis of a type specimen and three paratypes from the island of Mindoro (Schmidt 1935, 1938). Schmidt also described the closely related New Guinea freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae) in 1928 and later made a comparison of morphological differences between C. mindorensis, C. novaeguineae and C. porosus, maintaining C. mindorensis as a separate species (1956). However the Philippine crocodile has long been treated as C. novaeguineae mindorensis, a sub-species of the New Guinea crocodile, by other authorities. Hall (1989) provided new evidence of the distinctness of the Philippine crocodile and nowadays C. mindorensis is generally treated as a full species endemic to the Philippines. Figure 1.
