This process, named after its inventor, matured over the next century and was utilised to print newspapers, advertisements, and pulp comic books in the 1950s and 60s. Sigmar Polke (Germany, 1941–2010), Roy Lichtenstein (United States, 1923–1997), and Gerald Laing (United Kingdom, 1936–2011)— along with the rest of the world—devoured this imagery daily, and chose to reconfigure it in their works.

  • Cross-Temporal Analysis of Genetic Diversity in the Endangered Medium Tree Finch (Camarhynchus Pauper) and Closely Related Darwin’S Finches
    Cross-Temporal Analysis of Genetic Diversity in the Endangered Medium Tree Finch (Camarhynchus pauper) and Closely Related Darwin’s Finches By Colleen Metzger B.S., Juniata College, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati Department of Biological Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Committee Chair: Kenneth Petren, Ph.D. November 2012 Abstract Natural history collections can provide a direct view of past genotypes, which allows greater insight into evolutionary processes that are relevant for conservation and management. However, few studies have used broad surveys of multilocus genotypes from the past to address the wide range of processes that can affect conservation planning of a species today. Therefore, we assessed the history and status of the critically endangered medium tree finch, Camarhynchus pauper, an endemic finch of the Galápagos Islands. Using ancient DNA techniques, we quantified cross-temporal genetic change for 16 microsatellite loci in this species and its relatives. We tested the hypothesis that C. pauper has undergone a recent reduction in population size and loss of genetic diversity, and evaluated the hypothesis that C. pauper is genetically distinct from its two closest relatives, C. parvulus and C. psittacula. We assessed whether decline in C. pauper has led to increased hybridization with other species and evaluated a long-standing hypothesis of its origin from C. psittacula on another island using genetic distances, assignment tests, and migration analyses. Genetic diversity declined significantly in C. pauper over time, and several other tree finch populations showed similar losses of genetic diversity.

  • Divining Darwin: Evolving Responses and the Contribution of David Lack1
    S & CB (2014), 26, 53–78 0954–4194 R. J. (SAM) BERRY Divining Darwin: Evolving Responses and the Contribution of David Lack1 Christian believers, particularly evangelicals, often react to evolutionary ideas with more heat than light. A significant contribution to clarifying understanding was a book published in 1957, Evolutionary Theory and Christian Belief by the eminent ornithologist David Lack. It was the first attempt to tease out the issues by a scientist of his calibre. Information about this book has recently been published in a biography of Lack. This essay seeks to put Lack’s contribution into the perspective of both past and continuing perceptions of Christianity and evolution. Key words: Darwin, Darwinism, Evolutionary Theory and Christian Belief, David Lack, Dan and Mary Neylan, C.S.Lewis, human nature, imago Dei This paper is about the contribution of David Lack, one of the most dis- tinguished biologists of the twentieth century, to the debates about evolu- tion and Christianity, and his personal journey thereto. His contribution is significant because of the authority he brought to a book he wrote in 1957, which raised these debates to a much more positive and informed level than had previously been the practice. But before we get to Lack and his book, we need to understand something of the background to the understanding of evolution by both scientists and Christians. The reaction of the Christian community to Darwin’s Origin of Species2 ought to be a simple matter of historical record.3 In practice it is regularly muddied. An Editorial in Nature in 2009 claimed, ‘In England the Church reacted badly to Darwin’s theory, going so far as to say that to believe it was to imperil your soul.’4 There may well have been those who maintained this, but they seem to have been few.
