Cover Illustration: The cover illustration is a painting by Elizabeth Dasmann inspired by a Bushman wall painting from the Nawatugi cave in the Matopos hills of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The original wall painting was done several centuries ago when these animals were hunted by the Bushmen in this area. The Bushmen are now long gone, as are the giraffes and zebras; only the kudu (in the bottom left of the picture) still remain.

We can try to continue with business as usual, to pursue goals of economic growth and material progress without concern for long-term consequences, or we can change direction. If we go on as before we will have at most a few more decades before serious breakdowns of civilization take place. Before that time there will be recurring and increasing catastrophes affecting great numbers of people. These have already begun. However, if we start now to change our course, while we still have relatively abundant supplies of energy and raw materials, we can develop ways of living on this planet that can be sustained, not just for decades but for thousands of years. The coming years are totally without precedent in human history. Within the lifetimes of those who are still young decisions must be made that will determine whether civilized humanity will have a future. There is no option left to postpone the day of reckoning, or pass today’s problems on to posterity. If the wrong direction is taken there may well be no posterity. —The Conservation Alternative (1975, pp. 1-2) 4 Foreword 7 Introduction 10 Early Family Life 13 Marriage 17 A.

Dasmann: Selected Publications 153 7 Foreword The floors of the old World Conservation Union headquarters at Morges, Switzerland, creaked and the sloping roof window in the third floor, closet-like office where I worked let in both needed air and, when I forgot to close it, also the rain. But it was a friendly place to compose, and that is what I was there to do three decades ago. Outlines for marine conservation, often a bit damp, shuffled to and from the Deputy Director’s office, until finally one seemed to offer promise. I was summoned and so was Senior Scientist Ray Dasmann. He was a legend to me, due to my having studied his work on deer at UC Berkeley under Starker Leopold, also Ray’s mentor. So, I thought I heard my knees creak in harmony with the stairs as I descended. But there opposite the Deputy Director sat a friendly face, somewhat slumped in a chair. The former spoke at some length, as I recall, then turned to Ray for an opinion. A brief discussion, then simply a nod: Sounds good. Let’s do it, he said, launching IUCN’s Marine Programme and more, a friendship that lasts to this day. Insightful, laconic wisdom, I soon learned, was the gift of this different kind of person. I spent many an evening with him and his equally impressive and expressive wife, Beth, talking, always laughing, as we sipped old fashions and nibbled on peanuts, and then had dinner. I always came away with thoughts ringing in my head, but also a bit too much good food and wine to recall all the stories and laughter with precision. The conversations seemed to search for the big things that count. And Ray constantly reminded us of those, and invented more than a few. The International Biological Programme was busy developing modern ecosystem ecology in the 1960s to early 1970s, in the early days of computers and satellite imagery. A portion of the IBP was the conservation of ecosystems program. That program might have stopped right there, and were it not for Ray, the biosphere reserve concept might not have been conceived or flourished. Those were also the days when protectionist conservation, the setting aside of landscapes and species that people particularly valued, was being recognized as deficient. Ecosystems with humans included became the target. The eventual outcome was the debatable concept of sustainable development. Ray had foreseen this problem well before, leading him to innovate the more lucid, non-political, and universally applicable idea expressed simply by 8 ecodevelopment. He envisaged human societies as having evolved from locally dependent ecosystem people to urbanized biosphere people. The inevitable result has been that humans have become divorced from their immediate environment, as the footprint of urban centers continues to extend worldwide, and as perceptions of nature have become values derived more from marketing than experience. The impact on conservation has been fundamental, but not always fruitful. Ray recognized the conflict that emerges when people are divorced from their source, and has expressed it in his writings over five decades. He retains faith in native peoples, and although modern anthropology is showing that humans have always tended to over-exploit their world, the fundamentals of connected ecosystem people, not some technological fix, remain as our best hope for an enlightened and sustainable future. The Easter Island story may be a microcosm of the human future on this Earth, but if we would listen to Ray, this inevitability may yet have a chance to be avoided. So many eminent persons are credited with inventing new wheels, only to find that their predecessors were the originals. Ray is surely one of those, way ahead, even sometimes too far ahead, of his time. While seeking the big things that count, his perception of the little things has been as significant. Diversity, social or bio-, is a hot topic nowadays, and that is where a lot of little things really count. Ray saw the emerging debate clearly in his 1968 classic, A Different Kind of County, my personal favorite, which has profoundly influenced me. Ray would not like excessive flattery or too many bells and whistles. But in this day of cloning, how wonderful it would be if we could all have a little piece of him placed in our genotype! Almost effortlessly, it seems, he has innovated things that are the envy of so many who have been in his presence at meetings, in the field, or in print. He has thought deeply, but written clearly, about the fundamentals of our relationships with, and dependency on, nature. And, he has acted accordingly. —G. Carleton Ray, September 2000 9 Acknowledgments I gratefully acknowledge Lawrence D. Ford for the enthusiasm and initiative he brought to this oral history project. His hard work, advice, and fundraising efforts helped to bring this volume to fruition. As a former student of Raymond F. Dasmann at UC Santa Cruz, and a conservationist who has followed in his footsteps, Ford has an unusual appreciation of the history of conservation biology and has worked to see that it is documented for future students and researchers. I am also indebted to David R. Brower, Russell E. Train, Huey Johnson, Joshua Whetzel, Jr., Thomas Lovejoy, Stephen R. Gliessman, and Lawrence D. Ford, who made themselves available for background interviews prior to my discussions with Dasmann and shared their insights with me about his work as a conservation biologist and how his thinking on global conservation has evolved over the last 50 years. Although Dasmann’s work is well known among his peers in the United States, I learned that his international reputation has a singularly high profile in global environmental organizations.

  • Rethinking Easter Island's Ecological Catastrophe

Hunt Department of Anthropology, University of Hawai’i-Manoa, 2424 Maile Way Honolulu, HI 96822, USA Received 25 June 2006; received in revised form 1 October 2006; accepted 2 October 2006 Abstract Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has become a paragon for prehistoric human induced ecological catastrophe and cultural collapse. A popular nar- rative recounts an obsession for monumental statuary that led to the island’s ecological devastation and the collapse of the ancient civilization. Scholars offer this story as a parable of today’s global environmental problems. In this paper, I review new and emerging Rapa Nui evidence, compare ecological and recently acquired palaeo-environmental data from the Hawaiian and other Pacific Islands, and offer some perspectives for the island’s prehistoric ecological transformation and its consequences. The evidence points to a complex historical ecology for the island; one best explained by a synergy of impacts, particularly the devastating effects of introduced rats (Rattus exulans). This perspective questions the simplistic notion of reckless over-exploitation by prehistoric Polynesians and points to the need for additional research. Ó 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Implications for Biogeographical Theory and the Conservation of Nature
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2004) 31, 177–197 GUEST The mismeasure of islands: implications EDITORIAL for biogeographical theory and the conservation of nature Hartmut S. Walter Department of Geography, University of ABSTRACT California, Los Angeles, CA, USA The focus on place rather than space provides geography with a powerful raison d’eˆtre. As in human geography, the functional role of place is integral to the understanding of evolution, persistence and extinction of biotic taxa. This paper re-examines concepts and biogeographical evidence from a geographical rather than ecological or evolutionary perspective. Functional areography provides convincing arguments for a postmodern deconstruction of major principles of the dynamic Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (ETIB). Endemic oceanic island taxa are functionally insular as a result of long-term island stability, con- finement, isolation, and protection from continental invasion and disturbance. Most continental taxa persist in different, more complex and open spatial systems; their geographical place is therefore fundamentally distinct from the functional insularity of oceanic island taxa. This creates an insular-continental polarity in biogeography that is currently not reflected in conservation theory. The focus on the biogeographical place leads to the development of the eigenplace concept de- fined as the functional spatial complex of existence. The application of still popular ETIB concepts in conservation biology is discouraged. The author calls for the Correspondence: Hartmut S.

  • Albums Accomplish This Better Than Singles, Often by Exploiting Our
    Albums accomplish this better than singles, often by exploiting our craving for musical confection to expose us to harder stuff -- savories, meat and potatoes, crusty bread, tropical fruit. One of the two I've had on my mind while writing this is a best-seller. The other is by a 59-year-old who's been taking his 1937 Gibson on the road for decades. Neither has gotten the recognition it deserves. Say hello to Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" and Hamell on Trial's "The Happiest Man in the World." Granted, Derulo's never all that hard. His third album comprises 11 songs about pragmatically carnal sex so mind-blowing that three times he proposes matrimony behind it. I value both sex and matrimony too much to recommend this life strategy. But compared to the predatory Chris Brown of "Loyal" or the chauvinistic Trey Songz of "Foreign," he's so exuberant and playful he helps me get why guys and dolls fall for it--even share their thrills some, vicariously. And his command of contemporary hookcraft is musicianship aplenty by me. [Talk Dirty] tries to please everyone, and, shockingly, it‘s effective, also managing to give Mr. Derulo something he‘s never before had: a personality. Huge, glossy hits burst forth from this unexpectedly slick and consistently strong album… Throughout this album, Mr. Derulo is naughty and vocally alive, and shows versatility…And impressively, the more unusual the sound, the more Mr. Derulo cottons to it, making ―Talk Dirty‖ the year‘s oddest R&B album and among its most ambitious, though its greatest achievement may be creating a summer soundtrack almost everyone can agree on.

  • Integrated Island Ecosystem Ecology in Hawaii
    Technical Report No. 54 INTEGRATED ISLAND ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY IN HAWAII INTRODUCTORY SURVEY Part I of Proposed Synthesis Volume for US/tBP Series Dieter Mueller-Dombois Department of Botany University of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS IRP u. s. International Biological Program February 1975 Preface This is the draft manuscript of Part I of our synthesis volume. It is reproduced only for distribution within our group so that each Hawaii IBP participant will have an idea of what we are putting down before our volume -~, appears in print. We intend to do the same with the other parts as they come out. For Chapter 3 I drew heavily on our original IBP proposal. This chapter reflects the efforts of several individuals, including A.J. Berger, Sheila Conant, Allison Kay, C.H. Lamoureux, J.L. Gressitt, F.R. Fosberg, F.J. Radovsky, and others. But also the ideas put down in the other introductory chapters reflect the thinking that developed through our activity as a research team. Authorship for sections in the synthesis volume, therefore, must be viewed more as responsibilities assigned to us as writers and editors rather than (in the traditional sense) as authorship of a piece of original research. This applies to all remaining synthesis parts, chapters, and sections. The manuscript may still be subjected to several editorial changes before final printing. I would appreciate comments on the manuscript. Please transmit them to me. D.

BARTHELL3 1Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106; [email protected] 2Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 3Department of Biology, University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond, OK 73034 Abstract—After 1880, feral colonies of European honey bees (Apis mellifera) spread over all of Santa Cruz Island, though never invading any of the other northern Channel Islands. In line with other exotic animal removal programs (e.g., cattle, sheep, pigs), we outlined a program in October 1987 to eradicate all honey bee colonies on that island. That project evolved through four phases: 1) mapping and eradication of many colonies on the eastern half of the island (1988–1993), 2) introduction of a parasitic mite as a biological control (1994–1998), 3) monitoring residual honey bee activity (1999–2004), and 4) continued monitoring and certification of honey bee absence (2005–2008). We located the last known feral colony at the top of the Matanza grade on August 6, 2002 and found that same colony dead on March 31, 2003. The number of target foraging sites visited by honey bees declined steadily through the years, with the last visitors seen on rosemary plants at the ranch headquarters in August of 2004.

Roderick Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, Division of Insect Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720-3112; e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Key Words adaptive radiation, fragments, oceanic, endemism, disharmony, isolation ■ Abstract Islands have traditionally been considered to be any relatively small body of land completely surrounded by water. However, their primary biological char- acteristic, an extended period of isolation from a source of colonists, is common also to many situations on continents. Accordingly, theories and predictions developed for true islands have been applied to a huge array of systems, from rock pools, to single tree species in forests, to oceanic islands. Here, we examine the literature on islands in the broadest sense (i.e., whether surrounded by water or any other uninhabitable matrix) as it pertains to terrestrial arthropods. We categorize islands according to the features they share. The primary distinction between different island systems is “darwinian” islands (formed de novo) and “fragment” islands. In the former, the islands have never been in contact with the source of colonists and have abundant “empty” ecological niche space. On these islands, species numbers will initially increase through immigration, the rate depending on the degree of isolation. If isolation persists, over time species formation will result in “neo-endemics.” When isolation is extreme, the ecological space will gradually be filled through speciation (rather than immigration) and adaptive radiation of neo-endemics.
