  • Chino Hills State Park Raptors
    California Department of Parks and Recreation I. Introduction Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are important members of most terrestrial biological ecosystems. As carnivores, raptors generally exist at high trophic levels consuming other species that are either primary (herbivores) or secondary (omnivores or carnivores) producers. Because they occur at relatively high trophic levels, where toxic compounds are sometimes concentrated, raptors can be good indicators of system-wide pollution problems. Furthermore, presence or diversity of raptor species can be used to estimate whether or not habitat reserves or linkages are properly functioning (sustained high species diversity at many trophic levels). Conversion of native habitats to urban landscapes in southern California has placed increasing pressure on maintaining functional ecosystems within conserved habitats. Chino Hills State Park (CHSP) is important for conservation purposes because it provides a large habitat block, and remains as one of the few wildlife linkages between northeastern Orange, northwestern Riverside, and southwestern San Bernardino Counties. At Chino Hills State Park, raptors utilize many different habitats. They feed on small mammals, snakes, lizards, amphibians, invertebrates, and birds, hunting in open vegetation. Nest sites occur in diverse settings including rock ledges, riparian trees and vegetation, grasslands and human introduced features (e.g., Eucalyptus trees, utility poles). Understanding of the species composition, and abundances of raptor species and their reproductive success (from monitoring nesting locations), will support conservation management decisions at CHSP. Additionally, information regarding raptor populations at CHSP will support region-wide habitat conservation and management efforts. The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution and abundance of nesting birds of prey at CHSP, and to provide baseline data and a monitoring framework to observe changes in their distribution and abundance over time.

  • Factors Influencing Mortality in Nestling Ospreys (Pandion Haliaetus): an Analysis of Breeding Strategies
    1 FACTORS INFLUENCING MORTALITY IN NESTLING OSPREYS (PANDION HALIAETUS): AN ANALYSIS OF BREEDING STRATEGIES by Jennifer Anne Rettew A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in the Department of Biology Charlotte 2006 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Richard O. Bierregaard ______________________________ Dr. Stan Schneider ______________________________ Dr. Inna Sokolova ______________________________ Dr. Larry Barden 2 © 2006 Jennifer Anne Rettew ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 3 ABSTRACT JENNIFER ANNE RETTEW. Factors influencing mortality in nestling Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus): an analysis of breeding strategies. (Under the direction of DR. R. O. BIERREGAARD) Breeding strategies are important to the evolution of species because they allow individuals to maximize reproductive output while minimizing investment. One such aspect of breeding strategy is nesting behavior. In Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus), the female remains at the nest to guard and brood the nestlings while the male hunts. A hierarchy is established among the nestlings through hatching asynchrony and sibling aggression. Aggression occurs primarily in the presence of food, but can also be triggered by other stress. Ospreys are territorial around the nesting site and chase away other Ospreys, as well as other species that present a threat to the nest. Brood reduction is an adaptive mechanism by which birds can adjust the optimal brood size in a given season to fluctuations in the environment. In Ospreys, reduced prey delivery is the direct cause of brood reduction, with increased prey delivery causing an increase in survival of the nestlings. Sibling aggression further contributes to the size hierarchy set up by hatching asynchrony in the nest, but does not directly influence mortality itself.

  • Early Encounters with Ethnography in Os Brahamanes*1 Dentro Do Seu Papel – Primeiros Encontros Com a Etnografia No Romance Os Brahamanes
    In keeping with character – early encounters with ethnography in Os brahamanes*1 Dentro do seu papel – primeiros encontros com a etnografia no romance Os brahamanes ROCHELLE PINTO**2 Resumo: Este ensaio propõe ler o primitivo romance indiano não enquanto desenvolvimento secundário face aos modelos da representação empírica, ou enquanto imitação imperfeita dos modelos literários europeus, mas antes rastrear a forma como tais influências geraram estruturas internas ao romance, o que aconteceu em simultâneo com outros gêneros da escrita e da representação. Os brahamanes, de Francisco Luís Gomes, marca um encontro entre o romance colonial e a etnografia, antes de o realismo se ter tornado a manifestação dominante da descrição empírica no romance. A obra absorve e antecipa o trabalho da etnografia em solidificar concepções de entidade política nacional, abrindo-se a possibilidade de examinar um continuum de estratégias narrativas entre o relatório e o romance. Palavras-chave: Goa, etnografia, Francisco Luís Gomes, raça, casta Abstract: This essay suggests that instead of seeing the early novel in India as a secondary development to empirical representation, or as a flawed imitation of European literary models, studies can profitably trace how these influences generated structures internal to the novel, as it emerged simultaneously with other genres of writing and representation. Os brahamanes by Francisco Luís Gomes marks an encounter between the early colonial novel and ethnography, before realism became the dominant manifestation of empirical description in the novel. The novel absorbs and anticipates the work of ethnography in petrifying conceptions of an Indian polity and opens up the possibility of examining a continuum of narrative strategies between the report and the novel.

  • Scholastic Relaunch Discussion Guide
    Discussion GuiDe ANIMORPHS™ by K. A. APPLEGATE DiscussinG ThE sEriEs Everyone should be scared—really scared—and that means you! Five kids— the Animorphs—are Earth’s only hope against a secret invasion by a race of terrifying parasitic aliens called Yeerks. Can the Animorphs defeat the Yeerks—and still have time to be normal kids? Stories of alien invasion have been common in science fiction novels and movies for over a century. The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells set the standard, and has been revived over the years through a famous radio play and two movie versions. The theme has been explored by many other famous authors such as Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, John Christopher, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein, and in movies such as Invaders from Mars, The Thing from Another World, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and in TV shows like Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, Star Trek, V, and The X-Files. In the video game, Destroy All Humans!, gamers play war-like extraterrestrials seeking to add Earth to its Galactic Empire. Now, in the Animorphs series, five young people—Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, and Tobias—and one alien, Aximili-Esarrouth-Isthill (nicknamed Ax)—obtain the ability to morph into any animal they touch. They name themselves “Animorphs” and use their ability to battle a secret infiltration of Earth by the Yeerks. The Animorphs take turns narrat- ing the books, telling their story of the secret war through each of their perspectives. As you read these books you can discuss many themes that run through them—such as dehumanization, growing up, innocence, leadership, morality, responsibility, and war.
