Lake, Assistant Engineer •Resigned LIBRARY OF THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1927 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1927. In reviewing the history of this year, three things stand out prominently which alone would make it especially noteworthy in the annals of the Institution. They are: first, the year's attendance exceeded 1,000,000, outstripping all previous years; second, extensive structural changes were made which added fourteen halls to the space available for exhibits; and third, through the activities of sixteen expeditions, and through the continued expansion of intra- mural research, publications, and dissemination of knowledge by exhibits and other means, the Museum has again made a great contribution to the causes of science and education. The number of persons who visited the Museum in 1927 was 1,043,546. This exceeds the attendance of 1926, the next largest, by 112,975. As there were only one or two especially important events at Soldier Field or in Grant Park during the year to attract crowds into the vicinity of the Museum, this large and gratifying gain in attendance can rightfully be assigned to the constantly in- creasing interest of the public in the Museum itself. In the six years and eight months since the Museum has been in its pre- sent building it has received a total of 4,740,877 visitors. This is more than the total number for 22 years in its former building in Jackson Park. The structural changes, above mentioned, were undertaken to gain additional exhibition area which was greatly needed for anthro- pological and zoological material which either has already been acquired or is to be acquired in the future. This reconstruction was a vast undertaking, and the large expense involved was met by contributions made by President Stanley Field. Details of the work of the sixteen Field Museum expeditions in the field during the year will be found in the various departmental sections of this Report. A brief summary is given herewith: The Second Rawson-MacMillan Subarctic Expedition set out in June for fifteen months in Labrador and Baffin Land, to 185 186 Field Museum of Natural History—Reports, Vol. VII make explorations, collect anthropological, botanical, geological, and zoological material, conduct scientific researches, and make topo- graphical studies. The expedition is financed by Mr. Frederick H. Rawson, and led by Lieutenant-Commander Donald B. MacMillan. A fleet of three vessels, Commander MacMillan's flagship "Bow- doin," the schooner "Radio," and the power boat "See-Ko," is engaged in the work. The expedition has established a scientific station near Nain, in Labrador. Dr. William D. Strong, Mr. Sharat K. Roy, Mr. Alfred C. Weed, and Mr. Arthur G. Rueckert are mem- bers of the Museum staff on this expedition. The Field Museum-Chicago Daily News Abyssinian Expedition returned in May after more than eight months in Abyssinia, during which 3,500 mammals, birds, fishes and reptiles, many of them rare species, were collected.

Abstract Purple corn has acquired great interest by its high content of anthocyanins and bioactive properties. Among this type of corn the Andean purple corn has been the most studied, however, in Mexico, we have the “maíces mora- dos”, which is recognized by its dark purple color. Since there is no record about its content of anthocyanins, in this study we quantified the total anthocyanins (TA) accumulated in the pericarp, aleurone layer, kernel, and corn- cob of 52 corn populations with different grades of pigmentation. Results showed that TA was superior in purple corn than in blue and red corn. TA ranged from 0.0044 to 0.0523 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of biomass in the aleurone layer; in the pericarp from 0.2529 to 2.6452 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of pericarp; in the kernel from 0.0398 to 0.2398 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of kernel and in the corncob from 0.1004 to 1.1022 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of corncob.

    21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic

    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.
