  • Divaricating Plants in New Zealand in Relation to Moa Browsing
    GREENWOOD AND ATKINSON: DIYARICATING PLANTS AND MOA BROWSING 21 EVOLUTION OF DIVARICATING PLANTS IN NEW ZEALAND IN RELATION TO MOA BROWSING R. M. GREENWOOD' and I. A. E. ATKINSON' SUMMAR Y: New Zealand appears to be the only country where spineless, small-leaved divaricating plants make up nearly 10% of the woody flora. Climatic explanations have been advanced to &ccount for the origin of these divaricating plants. We suggest that the divergent and interl~ced branching, the woody exterior and the tough stems of these plants are adaptations evolved in response to browsing by moas. Together with a few species of much smaHer birds, moas were the only browsing vertebrates in New Zealand prior to the arrival of man. Thq divaricate habit is probably only one of several strategies evolved by plants in response to moa browsing. However, because fioas fed in a different way from mammals there is little to support the idea that introduced browsing mammals have merely replaced moas as aQ ecological factor in New Zealand. MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF NEW ZEALAND difficult. The most helpful keys are those of Bulmer DIY ARICATING fLANTS (1958) and Taylor (1961), which deal specifioolly The term Hdivaricating", indicating branching at with these plants.

  • Revitalization and Social Change: Contributions from Psychiatric Epidemiology
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 115 574 SO 008 808 AUTHOR Foulks, Edward F. TITLE Revitalization and Social Change: Contributions from Psychiatric Epidemiology. PUB DATE 75. NOTE 14p.; Paper presented at the, Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association (San Francisco, California, December 1975) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$1.58 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS Behavior Patterns; *Change Agents; Culture Conflict; Literature Reviews; *Mental Illness; Psychology; *Schizophrenia; *Social Change; Social Influences; *Social Psychology; Social Science Research; Sociocultural Patterns ABSTRACT The relationship between schizophrenia and social change is examined through a review of recent medical research' in genetics, biology, and epidemiology. Those mental traits that today in our society characterize the schizoprenic, in a previous era or in another society may have provided a mechanism for cultural change during the periods of stress when traditional methods of coping with the environment proved unadaptive. In many cases, prophets, shamens, and seers experience the same estrangement and disorganization of the self =as does the schizophrenic" in our society. This perspective views schizOphrenia in our society as an evolutionary anachronism which in a previous society may have been organized early in youth and shaped into a socially useful form. Cultural change has in recent human history become a dominating ethos and is accordingly valued for its- own sake. The particular psychological functions of these sensitive individuals are therefore no longer used to transcend traditional points of view.

  • Plant Structural Defences Against Browsing Birds: a Legacy of New Zealand’S Extinct Moas
    OIKOS 104: 500Á/508, 2004 Plant structural defences against browsing birds: a legacy of New Zealand’s extinct moas William J. Bond, William G. Lee and Joseph M. Craine Bond, W. J., Lee, W. G. and Craine, J. M. 2004. Plant structural defences against browsing birds: a legacy of New Zealand’s extinct moas. Á/ Oikos 104: 500Á/508. Browsing by large vertebrates has been a major force in the evolution of terrestrial plants but Holocene extinctions of the browsers have left a legacy of broken biotic partnerships. Ratite birds were the largest herbivores in several regions, such as the moas of New Zealand. Many woody plants there have a distinct form of branching, described as ‘‘divaricate’’, with thin, wide angled, branches intertwining to form a tangled canopy. Divaricate branching has been interpreted as a form of protection against climate extremes or as an anachronistic defense against the extinct moas. Here we report the first experimental evidence that many of these plants are defended against extant ratite browsers. In feeding experiments on two tree species with different (heteroblastic) juvenile and adult branch morphology, emus and ostriches obtained adequate feeding rates from adult shoots but sub-maintenance feeding rates from juvenile shoots with the ratite-resistant traits. Divaricate juvenile shoots suffered 30Á/ 70% less biomass removal to the birds than adult shoots. Ratites browse by a distinctive clamping and tugging action. Structural defence traits that exploit the limitations of this feeding mode include narrow, strong, elastic branches that resist being torn off, wide branching angle (‘‘divaricate’’) that makes shoots difficult to swallow, and small, widely spaced leaves.

  • 8.7.14 Plaintiff-Respondents' Response to Motions for Leave To
    NO. 84362-7 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON MATHEW & STEPHANIE MCCLEARY, on their own behalf and on behalf of KELSEY & CARTER MCCLEARY, their two children in Washington’s public schools, et al., Plaintiff/Respondents, PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENTS’ v. RESPONSE TO MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO FILE STATE OF WASHINGTON, AMICI CURIAE BRIEFS Defendant/Appellant. On August 4, 2014, four groups of applicants filed motions for leave to file amici curiae briefs regarding the upcoming September 3 show cause hearing: (1) Washington State Budget and Policy Center, Centerstone, the ElderCare Alliance, the Equity in Education Coalition, Statewide Poverty Action Network, Solid Ground, Jennifer Papest, Kristin Lindenmuth, Patrick Lenning, and Viral Shaw; (2) Columbia Legal Services, The Children’s Alliance, and The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance; (3) Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn; and (4) Former Governors Daniel J. Evans, John Spellman, Mike Lowry, Gary Locke, and Christine Gregoire. Plaintiffs file this single, consolidated response to those four motions. As a procedural matter, plaintiffs object that these amicus brief motions do not satisfy the requirements of RAP 10.6.1 1 RAP 10.6(a) permits an amicus brief “only if all parties consent or if the filing of the brief would assist the appellate court.” To that end, the rule requires the applicant’s motion to establish: (1) the applicant’s interest and the person or group the applicant represents; (2) the applicant’s familiarity with the issues involved in the review and with - 1 - 51388129.3 But as a practical matter, since this Court recently granted Mr. Eugster’s amicus brief motion over plaintiffs’ similar objection, plaintiffs recognize this Court will likely grant these four amicus brief motions for the September 3 show cause hearing as well.

Gibbons Before man hunted the large baleen whales to near extinction by the end of the nineteenth century, Arctic ecosystems were strongly influenced by these large pre- dators. Their main prey were zooplankton, among which the calanoid copepod at University Library of Tromsø on March 11, 2013 species of the genus Calanus, long considered key elements of polar marine ecosys- tems, are particularly abundant. These herbivorous zooplankters display a range of adaptations to the highly seasonal environments of the polar oceans, most notably extensive energy reserves and seasonal migrations to deep waters where the non-feeding season is spent in diapause. Classical work in marine ecology has suggested that slow growth, long lifespan and large body size in zooplankton are specific adaptations to life in cold waters with short and unpredictable feeding seasons.

  • Evolutionary Perspectives on Religion: an Overview and Synthesis
    UNDERGRADUATE CONTRIBUTION EvoS Journal: The Journal of the Evolutionary Studies Consortium Evolutionary Perspectives on Religion: An Overview and Synthesis Zachary Smith* Holly Arrow Department of Psychology, University of Oregon ABSTRACT Religion is a cultural universal that has puzzled evolutionists since Darwin. The moral, social, emotional, and explanatory components that make up complex religious systems offer both evolutionary benefits and costs. Evolutionists who propose functional accounts of religion argue that it offers adaptive benefits that outweigh the costs. Theorists who propose nonfunctional accounts view religion as a byproduct of interactions among nonreligious cognitive adaptations and environments. Others argue that religion evolved via memetic transmission, which allows maladaptive features to persist. These maladaptive features may be anachronisms that were functional in the past but are detrimental to fitness in modern contexts. A thorough review reveals that work guided by these different perspectives is driven by divergent research questions that ultimately complement one another to offer a more comprehensive evolutionary account of the complexity, variety, and durability of religious belief and behavior. KEYWORDS Psychology of religion; evolution of religion; cultural evolution; cognitive adaptation; cognitive byproduct; meme theory; multi-level selection; exaptation INTRODUCTION In the 1740s a small Protestant group known as the Shakers formed in Manchester, England. The Shaker creed emphasized equality between men and women in religious practices, the need for communal living, a literalist view of the Bible, and a strict moral code. Following their eventual migration to New England, the Shakers attracted nearly 20,000 converts throughout the nineteenth century AUTHOR NOTE: Please direct correspondence to Zachary Smith, Small Groups Lab, Department of Psychology, 1227 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1227.
