  • Genetic Variability and Divergence of Neutrodiaptomus Tumidus Kiefer 1937
    Young et al. Zoological Studies 2014, 53:22 http://www.zoologicalstudies.com/content/53/1/22 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genetic variability and divergence of Neutrodiaptomus tumidus Kiefer 1937 (Copepoda: Calonida) among 10 subpopulations in the high mountain range of Taiwan and their phylogeographical relationships indicated by mtDNA COI gene Shuh-Sen Young1*, Yan-Ying Lee1 and Min-Yun Liu2 Abstract Background: In the mountain area of Taiwan, we investigated 10 subpopulations of Neutrodiaptomus tumidus Kiefer 1937 living in isolated alpine ponds or lakes. We used mitochondrial DNA cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence as molecular marker to investigate the population genetic structure and their phylogeographical relationships. Results: We obtained 179 sequences from 10 subpopulations and found 94 haplotypes. Nucleotide composition was AT-rich. Haplotype diversity (Hd) and nucleotide diversity (π) indicated significant genetic differences between subpopulations (Hd = 0.131 ~ 0.990; π = 0.0002 ~ 0.0084); genetic differentiation index (Fst) and gene flow index (Nm) also exhibited significant genetic diversification between subpopulations (Fst = 0.334 ~ 0.997; Nm =0~1).Using Tajima’s D and Fu and Li’s D*andF* as neutrality tests, we found that the nucleotide variation within the population was consistent with the neutral theory except in the JiaLuoHu subpopulation. The JiaLuoHu subpopulation significantly deviated from the neutral theory and was speculated to have experienced a bottleneck effect. According to the phylogenetic tree, these alpine lake subpopulations could be divided into four phylogroups (northern region, Xueshan group, central region, and southwestern region). Xueshan group contains one subpopulation, DuRongTan, which is a unique group relative to other groups.

  • Rethinking Decentralized Managerialism in the Taipei Shilin Night Market Management Research and Practice Vol
    Chiu C. mrp.ase.ro RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AND PRACTICE VOL. 6 ISSUE 3 (2014) PP: 66-87 ISSN 2067- 2462 RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET Chihsin CHIU Department of Landscape Architecture, Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan [email protected] 2014 Abstract This paper develops the concept of "decentralized managerialism" to examine the municipal policies regulating the Taipei Shilin Night Market. The concept highlights the roles of managerial autonomy and political-economic structures previously overlooked by urban managerialism. The process of decentralization evolves mainly over two stages - self-management and private management. By organizing self-managed alliances, street vendors appropriated public and private property by dealing with the municipality and local community in legal and extralegal situations in ways that supported their operations. The municipality compromised vendors' self- September management by demanding that they be licensed and registered and by building a new market. The stage of / private management begins when the municipality officially permits vending in a district by requiring vendors to 3 rent storefront arcades from a community alliance made of local property owners that allocate vending units. In the name of reallocating pre-existing extralegal street vendors, the project privileges property owners‟ profits over street vendors‟ needs for space. Field research has found that most unlicensed vendors continue occupying streets even after they are provided with legitimate vending units; five retailers in the business improvement district have rejected the arcade allocation plan by mobilizing their own social network. Shoppers continue trading with vendors outside of the district.
