While many of us are spread out across the country or located internationally, I hope we can continue to build a strong CAPA/ACAP student community that will entice young scholars to get involved and join our association. The student membership of CAPA/ACAP is central to its vitality, as student members develop new ideas, contribute to an expanding academic network, and lay the foundation for the future of physical anthropology in Canada. I hope that over the next two years we, as a student conglomerate, can encourage new members to join our ranks and to continue to build physical anthropology in Canada and on an international stage. As student members, we have a unique opportunity to share our ideas with a welcoming audience at both our Annual Meeting and in our Newsletter, an opportunity I would encourage all of you to consider. Yes, we are all busy, and yes we can FIELD SCHOOL OPPORTUNITY During the summer of 2012, the Department of Anthropology at the Ohio State University and the Paleopathology division of the University of Pisa will o%er a field school in medieval archaeology and bioarchaeology at Badia Pozzeveri, Lucca Province, Italy.

  • Ministre Caroline Proulx 4 Juin 2020
    Ottawa, le 4 juin 2020 L’honorable Caroline Proulx, députée Ministère du Tourisme 900, boulevard René-Lévesque Est Bureau 400 Québec (Québec) Objet : Plan de sécurité sanitaire COVID-19 pour l'industrie touristique – Fiche sectorielle des Zoos et Aquariums Madame la Ministre, Le 25 mai dernier, un comité de travail composé des huit membres institutionnels accrédités du Québec soumettait un plan de réouverture à l'échelle provinciale pour leur zoo et aquarium. Le but de cette lettre est un complément d’information au document, vous donner notre point de vue et vous assurer notre collaboration lorsque vous et vos collègues déciderez quand et comment nos membres pourront rouvrir. Deux de nos institutions accréditées, définies au Québec comme des musées à vocation scientifique, pourront ouvrir fin juin grâce au décret gouvernemental qui les y autorise depuis le 29 mai. Cette bonne nouvelle en réjouit plusieurs, mais comme ces institutions partagent de nombreuses similitudes avec les autres institutions zoologiques accréditées du Québec, nous nous permettons d’espérer que cela facilitera la réouverture des six autres institutions. Comme toute entreprise, les zoos et aquariums accrédités du Québec ont été durement touchés, leurs sources de revenus s’étant effondrées d’un coup. Néanmoins, la responsabilité des soins aux animaux, unique à nos membres, reste présente et coûteuse. En tant qu'institutions accréditées, nos normes de qualité sont élevées et ne peuvent être compromises. À ce jour, nous pouvons heureusement signaler que le bien-être animal n'a pas été affecté par la pandémie. Le Plan de sécurité sanitaire COVID-19 de l’industrie touristique – Fiche sectorielle des Zoos et aquariums a été rédigé en sachant que les dirigeants provinciaux prendront leurs décisions basées sur l’évolution de la COVID-19 et sur ses conséquences sur les fermetures ou non des frontières provinciales et régionales.

  • Data Science for the One Plan Approach: Exploring the Potential of Species360 in Synergy with Other Biodiversity Databases
    Data Science for the One Plan Approach: Exploring the potential of Species360 in synergy with other biodiversity databases CONVENORS: Dalia A. Conde, Jim Gunter & Lionel Jouvet AIM: The goal of this working group is to find the best ways to leverage data on more than 21 000 species from our members for conservation planning. INTRODUCTION: Data on species life history traits, such as fertility and reproduction are essential for conservation planning. However, the lack of such data for most of the described species is overwhelming. In this workshop we want to explore how can we maximize the use of Species360’s global data on more than 21 000 species, 10 million individuals, and 170 million medical and husbandry records. Species360 is a global, non-profit, organization dedicated to gathering, sharing, and standardizing information of the animals under more our members care. Data from Species360's members have been used to answer the different question in species life history and evolution (Tidere et al. 2016). Furthermore, there is example of the utilization of the data for species conservation planning. These range from estimating the potential of threatened species in zoos to act as insurance populations or as a source of information for species when there is no data (Conde et al. 2011). For example, we have been able to estimate opportunities and costs to protect species either in the wild and captivity by merging Species360 with other databases, such as World Bank social indicators, urbanization projections, and the IUCN Red List Projects to fight the illegal species trade are being developed by using more detail data from Species360 (Conde et al.
