Modeling Incipient Use of Neolithic Cultigens by Taiwanese Foragers: Perspectives from Niche Variation Theory, the Prey Choice Model, and the Ideal Free Distribution
quaternary Article Modeling Incipient Use of Neolithic Cultigens by Taiwanese Foragers: Perspectives from Niche Variation Theory, the Prey Choice Model, and the Ideal Free Distribution Pei-Lin Yu Department of Anthropology, Boise State University, 1910 University Dr., Boise, ID 83725, USA; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2020; Accepted: 14 August 2020; Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: The earliest evidence for agriculture in Taiwan dates to about 6000 years BP and indicates that farmer-gardeners from Southeast China migrated across the Taiwan Strait. However, little is known about the adaptive interactions between Taiwanese foragers and Neolithic Chinese farmers during the transition. This paper considers theoretical expectations from human behavioral ecology based models and macroecological patterning from Binford’s hunter-gatherer database to scope the range of responses of native populations to invasive dispersal. Niche variation theory and invasion theory predict that the foraging niche breadths will narrow for native populations and morphologically similar dispersing populations. The encounter contingent prey choice model indicates that groups under resource depression from depleted high-ranked resources will increasingly take low-ranked resources upon encounter. The ideal free distribution with Allee effects categorizes settlement into highly ranked habitats selected on the basis of encounter rates with preferred prey, with niche construction potentially contributing to an upswing in some highly ranked prey species. In coastal plain habitats preferred by farming immigrants, interactions and competition either reduced encounter rates with high ranked prey or were offset by benefits to habitat from the creation of a mosaic of succession ecozones by cultivation. Aquatic-focused foragers were eventually constrained to broaden subsistence by increasing the harvest of low ranked resources, then mobility-compatible Neolithic cultigens were added as a niche-broadening tactic. -

Republic of Korea
397 Republic of Korea Seng-Keh Teng Coastal Management Center, Philippines March 2004 INTRODUCTION This review constitutes part of the FAO’s project on the state of the world marine capture fisheries management relating to marine capture fisheries management of the Republic of Korea (ROK). Overall goal of the review is to provide information useful to decision makers, fishery managers and stakeholders who may involve in the management of marine capture fisheries of the country. The ROK is located in the southern half of the Korean Peninsula and borders the East Sea (Sea of Japan) on the east and the Yellow Sea on the west. It has a land area of approximately 98 480 square kilometres with a highly indented coastline of 2 413 kilometres (CIA, 2003). The country has a border line of 238 kilometres with North Korea on the north and there are around 3 579 islands lying mostly along its south and west coasts. Korea has made a number of maritime claims and the most significant of them include: • Contiguous zone: 24 nautical miles; • Exclusive economic zone: 200 nautical miles; and • Territorial sea: 12 nautical miles; between 3 nautical miles and 12 nautical miles in the Korea Strait. In July 2002, ROK had an estimated population of 48.324 million with a population density of 490 persons per square kilometre (CIA, 2003). Gross National income per capita was around US$8 910 in 2000 (OECD, 2002; World Bank, 2003). The ROK is also one of the world’s major fishing countries in both production and trade, the tenth largest harvester as well as exporter in 1999. -

My key question is whether and how the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA)—a bilateral free trade agreement signed by Taiwan and China in 2010—affects Taiwanese fish farmers. In this agreement, China made concessions by eliminating tariffs on the enlisted Taiwanese seafood products, focusing primarily on grouper (Ephinephelus ) and milkfish ( Chanos chanos ). -
