    FRUITS AND THE ECOLOGY OF RESPLENDENT QUETZALS NATHANIEL T. WHEELWRIGHT 1 Departmentof Zoology,University of Washington,Seattle, Washington 98195 USA ABsTR^CT.--ResplendentQuetzals (Pharomachrus rnocinno) are typicallytermed "special- ized" fruit-eatingbirds, althoughthere are few data describingthe breadthof their diet or the characteristicsof the fruits they select.In fact, there is no generalconsensus about the meaning or consequencesof being a fruit specialist. In the lower montane forests at Monteverde,Costa Rica, quetzalsfeed on a minimum of 12-18 speciesof fruits at most timesof the year and on an annualtotal of at least41 species.Although their diet includes the watery,small-seeded berries of many second-growthplants, they depend mostly on the largedrupes of about18 speciesin the laurelfamily (Lauraceae).The phenologiesand habitat distributionsof the Lauraceaeappear to dictatethe timing and directionof seasonalmove- mentsby quetzals.Mutual dependenceand, possibly,general coevolution between quetzals and the lauraceoustrees whose seeds they disperseare suggestedby the birds' morphology, distribution, behavior, and life history. Nestling quetzalsare broughtentire fruits as early as the secondday after hatching. Thereafter,they consumegradually increasing amounts of fruit, but, even immediately beforethey fledge,most of their diet consistsof insects,snails, and lizards.Brooding drops off rapidly by the time chicksare 9 days old. Considerablevariation in broodingduration, parentalsex roles, and nestlingdiet existsbetween nests, however, and apparentlybetween dutches. Adults take far less time to deliver fruits to nestlingsthan to deliver insectsor lizards, which reflectsthe relativeease of "capturing"ripe fruits (asopposed to animal prey) during the breeding season.The male parent delivered significantlymore insectsand food items in generalthan did the female at a first-dutchnest but not at a second-clutchnest.

    Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 22(4), 419-421 SHORTCOMMUNICATION December 2014 Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus) preying on a Glassfrog (Anura, Centrolenidae) in Sierra de Perijá, northwestern Venezuela Marcial Quiroga-Carmona1,3 and Adrián Naveda-Rodríguez2 1 Centro de Ecología, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, Caracas 1020-A, Apartado 2032, Venezuela. 2 The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, U.S.A. 3 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 17 September 2014. Accepted on 8 November 2014. ABSTRACT: We report the predation of a glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium pallidum) by a Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus). The record was made in a locality in the Sierra de Perijá, near to the northern part of the border between Colombia and Venezuela, and consisted in observinga male P. antisianus vocalizing with a glassfrog in its bill. The vocalizations were answered by a female, which approached the male, took the frog with its bill and carried it into a cavity built on a landslide. Subsequent to this, the male remained near to the cavity until the female left it and together they abandoned this place. Based on the behavior observed in the couple of quetzals, and what has previously been described that this group of birds gives their young a diet rich in animal protein comprised of arthropods and small vertebrates, we believe that the couple was raising a brood at the time when the observation was carried out. KEYWORDS: Anurophagy, diet, Hyalinobatrachium, Trogonidae, Trogoniformes. The consumption of animal protein is a behavior a behavior also reported for P. pavoninus (Lebbin 2007) exhibited by most of the species of the family Trogonidae.

  • New Hollywood As Political Discourse
    CAPTURING TURMOIL: NEW HOLLYWOOD AS POLITICAL DISCOURSE by DANA ALSTON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Cinema Studies and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2018 An Abstract of the Thesis of Dana Alston for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Cinema Studies to be taken June 2018 Title: Capturing Turmoil: New Hollywood as Political Discourse Approved: _______________________________________ Dr. Erin Hanna This thesis is an argumentative close analysis of themes, aesthetics, and political meanings within three New Hollywood films. It emerged out of an interest in the films of the 1960s and 70s and the changes within that era’s film industry. Those changes granted young, educated filmmaker opportunities to helm studio-driven projects, weaving material into their narratives that would have been impossible in a system ruled by the Hollywood Production Code. The era also included significant social and political unrest, and the films therein reflect that reality. In this project, I perform content analyses for three films within the New Hollywood movement — Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), and Nashville (1975) — in order to understand how films in the movement used themes of celebrity, violence, and oppression to act as a form of discourse. All three films employ on-screen violence to complicate the audience’s initial assumptions of characters, and each film critiques the social and political issues of its time through this violence. For each analysis, I discuss several sequences’ mise-en-scène — the arrangement of elements within the entire frame — and connect them to broad socio-political ideas.

Several friends have read drafts of these works and helped to shape them to the forms in which they are finally presented here. They are Blaine Counter, Brendan Cleak, Caryn Sandoval, Jordan Rodriguez, and Emily Warner. I’d be remiss if I did not acknowledge the invaluable support from the English Department faculty at California State University, East Bay. Professors Stephen Gutierrez, Jacqueline Doyle, and Susan Gubernat not only provided me the classroom opportunities, but the personal encouragement to give me confidence. I also owe a special debt of gratitude to Professor Eileen Barrett, who first encouraged me to consider graduate school in the first place. iv Table of Contents Acknowledgments Fiction ........................................................................................................................1

  • South Pacific
    THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.

This talented young man won the prestigious Calgary Stampede Talent Show last summer but what was surprising to many was he took his prize money of $10,000 and donated it all to the local drop-in centre. He was touched by the stories he was told by a few people experiencing homelessness he had met one night prior to the contest’s finale. His infectious originals have caught the ears of many in the industry that are now assisting his career. He was honoured to receive 'The Spirit of Calgary' Award at the inaugural Vigor Awards for his generosity. Hudson will soon be touring Canada upon the release of his first single on national radio. JJ Shiplett Appearing Thursday, July 7, 8 p.m. Website: http://www.jjshiplettmusic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jjshiplettmusic/ Twitter: www.twitter.com/jjshiplettmusic Rugged, raspy and reserved, JJ Shiplett is a true artist in every sense of the word. Unapologetically himself, the Alberta born singer-songwriter and performer is both bold in range and musical creativity and has a passion and reverence for the art of music and performance that has captured the attention of music fans across the country. He spent the major part of early 2016 as one of the opening acts on the Johnny Reid tour and is also signed to Johnny Reid’s company.

With examples such as Redneck Girl and “Postmodernism as Seen by the Boys at Downhome Auto Repair,” Bruce Grindal demonstrated how we can creatively engage our ethnographic writing to reflect lived experiences. In this article, I examine Bruce’s influence on my ethnographic writing and collaborative research in the Maya community of San Juan Chamelco, Guatemala. Since 2006, I have worked collectively with a group of Chamelqueños to investigate the story of their local hero, Aj Pop B’atz’.
