    Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press smithsonian contributions to zoology • number 632 Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press AConserving Chronology Wildlife of Middlein African Missouri Landscapes Plains Kenya’sVillage Ewaso SitesEcosystem Edited by NicholasBy Craig J. M. Georgiadis Johnson with contributions by Stanley A. Ahler, Herbert Haas, and Georges Bonani SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines.

  • GLACIER SKILLS and CREVASSE RESCUE EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST
    www.alpineinstitute.com [email protected] Equipment Shop: 360-671-1570 Administrative Office: 360-671-1505 The Spirit of Alpinism 1515 12th st Bellingham, WA 98225 GLACIER SKILLS and CREVASSE RESCUE Bellingham, WA EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST The primary goal of any alpine climber should always be to carry as little as possible. What is left out of a backpack is often just as important as what is placed inside. Conditions in the mountains vary dramatically from season-to-season, and sometimes even throughout the same day. This can make the process of preparing equipment for an alpine climb difficult. On the one hand, a climber wants to be light. But on the other, a climber wants to have everything he or she needs if there is a storm. This list was designed for the “worst case scenario,” a trip with significant inclement weather. In serious conditions it’s not uncommon for a climber to need every piece of clothing and equipment on this list. However, if a program does not encounter significant weather, there may be items here that are not used. As you prepare for your trip, it’s important to plan for the worst and hope for the best. On the first day of your program, an AAI guide will work with you to refine your mountain kit to ensure that you bring exactly what’s needed given the forecast. It is acceptable to bring too much clothing or equipment to your initial meeting. And it is acceptable to bring things that you have questions about. Extra equipment can always be left behind at the AAI shop or in the program vehicle.

  • Review of the Hylomyscus Denniae Group (Rodentia: Muridae) in Eastern Africa, with Comments on the Generic Allocation of Epimys Endorobae Heller
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 119(2):293–325. 2006. Review of the Hylomyscus denniae group (Rodentia: Muridae) in eastern Africa, with comments on the generic allocation of Epimys endorobae Heller Michael D. Carleton, Julian C. Kerbis Peterhans, and William T. Stanley (MDC) Department of Vertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560-0108, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected]; (JKP) University College, Roosevelt University, Chicago, Illinois 60605, U.S.A.; Department of Zoology, Division of Mammals, The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois 60605, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected]; (WTS) Department of Zoology, Division of Mammals, The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois 60605, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—The status and distribution of eastern African populations currently assigned to Hylomyscus denniae are reviewed based on morpho- logical and morphometric comparisons. Three species are considered valid, each confined largely to wet montane forest above 2000 meters: H. denniae (Thomas, 1906) proper from the Ruwenzori Mountains in the northern Albertine Rift (west-central Uganda and contiguous D. R. Congo); H. vulcanorum Lo¨nnberg & Gyldenstolpe, 1925 from mountains in the central Albertine Rift (southwestern Uganda, easternmost D. R. Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi); and H. endorobae (Heller, 1910) from mountains bounding the Gregory Rift Valley (west-central Kenya). Although endorobae has been interpreted as a small form of Praomys, additional data are presented that reinforce its membership within Hylomyscus and that clarify the status of Hylomyscus and Praomys as distinct genus-group taxa. The 12 species of Hylomyscus now currently recognized are provisionally arranged in six species groups (H.

  • Climb Antarctica Required Clothing and Equipment List
    CLIMB ANTARCTICA REQUIRED CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT LIST Conditions in Antarctica change drastically throughout our season and vary depending on your location. At Union Glacier, the climate is very dry and generally sunny but wind chill can impact temperatures greatly with early November being as cold as -22°F (-30°C). Average mid-season temperatures range from -12°F to 30°F (-24°C to -1°C). To be prepared for all conditions, it is important to have a selection of items you can mix and match. The layering system described below will keep you safe and comfortable in all conditions—it is also the same system utilized by our Antarctic field staff. You do not need to wear ALL of these layers ALL of the time. Dress for the weather conditions and the activity level you expect to encounter and bring extra layers with you in your backpack in case conditions change. Base Layer Materials Polyester, Merino Wool, or Silk but NO COTTON Examples Patagonia Capilene or Smartwool Description Your first layer consists of a lightweight or midweight long- sleeved thermal top and bottom. We recommend materials that wick moisture away from your body like polyester or merino wool. If you cannot wear artificial fibers or wool, silk is an alternate option. Cotton traps moisture and can cause you to chill more rapidly. Zip T-necks are a great option as they allow ventilation. Bring undergarments, sports bras, and/or camisoles in a similar wicking material. Mid Layer Materials Polyester, Merino Wool, Stretch Fleece, Grid Fleece Examples Patagonia R1 Fleece or Rab Power Stretch Description Your second layer consists of a long-sleeved heavyweight (expedition weight) base layer top and bottom or lightweight stretch fleece top and bottom.

  • Equipment Notes Are a Comprehensive Guide Which Covers All Our Summer Trips, from Three-Day Treks to Twelve- Day High Alpine Courses
    Due to the nature of the mountain environment, equipment and clothing must be suitable for its intended purpose. It must be light, remain effective when wet or iced, and dry easily. These notes will help you make informed choices. Bring along the mandatory clothing, wet weather gear and any equipment you already own that is on the equipment checklist. This gives you an opportunity to practice with your gear and equipment so that you become efficient at using it out in the field. These equipment notes are a comprehensive guide which covers all our Summer trips, from three-day treks to twelve- day high alpine courses. Please look over your equipment checklist to see what is required and refer only to the sections that are pertinent to your trip. Adventure Consultants can offer clients good pricing on a range of clothing and equipment. Please feel free to contact us if you would like any advice on specific products or if you would like to special order any clothing or equipment for your upcoming trip. BODY WEAR Waterproof Shell Jacket Bring a non-insulated, fully waterproof shell jacket with water-resistant zip closures and a good hood capable of fitting over a helmet. The jacket should be easy to move in with your base and mid layers on underneath, and provide a good overlap with your pants, but should not be so long that it restricts access to your harness. Chest pockets are useful to things like snacks and sunscreen during the day. Pit zips allow for increased ventilation and cooling.

On this Annapurna trek we follow the Kali Gandaki valley then ascend to the viewpoint at Poon Hill. Trekking Annapurna Circuit offers a cross section of Nepal Himalaya. The mountain views throughout encompass some of the highest peaks in the world. They include Lamjung, Himalchuli, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Machapuchare. The Annapurna Circuit walk starts several hours driving beyond Besishar town at the village of Jagat. You hike through Gurung villages surrounded by terraced fields in Marsyangdi valley. The trail enters pine forest and higher up into the alpine zone around Annapurna. There has been debate about the recent road construction in the Annapurna region. It is still worth trekking the Annapurna Circuit trek as it is possible to avoid walking on the road. By hiking on alternative trails you will enjoy the experience on this classic trek. We follow Natural Annapurna Trekking Trails (NATT) where possible. We organised a recce trek following NATT for outdoor journalist, Terry Adby.

So gefühlt, weil es so viele Veränderungen, freudige Bereicherungen, aber auch unbeschreiblich Trauriges in diesem Zeitraum gab. Wir durften das in Form der Beiträge unserer Festivalthemen vielfach wahrnehmen und nachvollziehen. Nicht nur durch die Filme, sondern auch durch die Begegnun- gen und durch die Auseinandersetzung mit den Geschichten der „Helden“. Ihre Welt förmlich zu resorbieren und emotionale Erfahrungen sammeln zu dürfen ist der große Mehrwert solcher Momente! Als Initiator und Leiter des Festivals Mountainfilm Graz freue ich mich, über die 30 Jahre vielen tausend Menschen eine Gelegenheit zu solchen indirekten Seinserfahrungen oder möglicherweise auch Inspiration und die Initialzündung für selbständiges Tun geboten zu haben. Jenen, um die es ursächlich beim Festival geht, den unzähligen Filmschaffenden aus der ganzen Welt, möchte ich herzlich Danke sagen, denn ohne sie gäbe es diese Institution nicht, und hoffe durch die gebotene Plattform deren Arbeit unterstützt und gefördert zu haben. Mein besonderer Dank gilt natürlich allen treuen Besuchern, Unterstützern und Partnern aus Politik und Wirtschaft, den Medien und den vielen helfenden Freunden im In- und Ausland, die es mir ermöglichen die Idee Mountainfilm Graz WER HOCH HINAUS alljährlich zu realisieren!
