  • A Genome-Wide Survey of Genetic Variation in Gorillas Using Reduced Representation Sequencing
    1 A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing Aylwyn Scally1,2*, Bryndis Yngvadottir1,3*, Yali Xue1, Qasim Ayub1, Richard Durbin1, Chris Tyler- Smith1 *Equal contribution 1The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambs. CB10 1SA, UK. 2Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 3EH, UK 3Division of Biological Anthropology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 1QH, UK Keywords: Gorilla; western lowland; eastern lowland; beringei; graueri; genome; sequencing; genetic variation; genetic diversity; heterozygosity; inbreeding; allele sharing; population differentiation; population substructure; demography; centromere; telomere; major histocompatibility locus; MHC; HLA; selective sweep; conservation 2 Abstract All non-human great apes are endangered in the wild, and it is therefore important to gain an understanding of their demography and genetic diversity. To date, however, genetic studies within these species have largely been confined to mitochondrial DNA and a small number of other loci. Here, we present a genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using a reduced representation sequencing approach, focusing on the two lowland subspecies. We identify 3,274,491 polymorphic sites in 14 individuals: 12 western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and 2 eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri). We find that the two species are genetically distinct, based on levels of heterozygosity and patterns of allele sharing. Focusing on the western lowland population, we observe evidence for population substructure, and a deficit of rare genetic variants suggesting a recent episode of population contraction. In western lowland gorillas, there is an elevation of variation towards telomeres and centromeres on the chromosomal scale.

  • The Case for the Personhood of the Gorillas
    The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas* FRANCINE PATTERSON & WENDY GORDON We present this individual for your consideration: She communicates in sign language, using a vocabulary of over 1,000 words. She also understands spoken English, and often carries on 'bilingual' conversations, responding in sign to questions asked in English. She is learning the letters of the alphabet, and can read some printed words, including her own name. She has achieved scores between 85 and 95 on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test. She demonstrates a clear self-awareness by engaging in self-directed behaviours in front of a mirror, such as making faces or examining her teeth, and by her appropriate use of self- descriptive language. She lies to avoid the consequences of her own misbehaviour, and anticipates others' responses to her actions. She engages in imaginary play, both alone and with others. She has produced paintings and drawings which are representational. She remembers and can talk about past events in her life. She understands and has used appropriately time- related words like 'before', 'after', 'later', and 'yesterday'. She laughs at her own jokes and those of others. She cries when hurt or left alone, screams when frightened or angered. She talks about her feelings, using words like 'happy', 'sad', 'afraid', 'enjoy', 'eager', 'frustrate', 'mad' and, quite frequently, 'love'. She grieves for those she has lost- a favourite cat who has died, a friend who has gone away. She can talk about what happens when one dies, but she becomes fidgety and uncomfortable when asked to discuss her own death or the death of her companions.

The diversity and rate of this process, however, has not been extensively explored among the great ape lineages. We analyzed 97 deeply sequenced great ape and human genomes and estimate that 16% (469 Mbp) of the hominid genome has been affected by recent copy number changes.

    “By Any Memes Necessary”: Exploring the Intersectional Politics of Feminist Memes on Instagram Department of Informatics and Media, Uppsala University Two-Year Master’s Thesis Social Science: Digital Media and Society Student: Caitlin Breheny Supervisor: Ylva Ekström Spring 2017 !1 Acknowledgements I’d first of all like to thank Uppsala University and my wonderful supervisor, Ylva Ekström, for her continuous advice, support and encouragement. I’m also so grateful to the many others whom I have had the privilege of meeting during my time in Uppsala. My postgraduate student experience really wouldn’t have been as fulfilling without everybody (international and Swedish) who welcomed me into this little bubble. To my closest friends (you know who you are) - I value you immensely, your kindness and acceptance is everything. To my family - I would not be where I am now without you, and I am forever grateful for your support for all my choices in life, and for your unrelenting faith in me. And last but not least, a HUGE thank you must go to all of the people who did not just make this study possible, but made it what it is. To all of my interviewees: @goldnosering, @ada.wrong, @bunnymemes, @yung_nihilist, @fluentfascist, @esoteric_queen, @tequilafunrise, @distressed_memes, and @problematiqueer - my conversations with you were equal parts open, funny, and insightful. I learnt a great deal from speaking to every one of you! Additionally, to all of the people on Instagram who inspired and informed this study (of whom there are many), I admire your humour, honesty and resilience. Being immersed in all of this creativity, my thesis-writing experience has never stopped being interesting.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.

ADRIANA HERNANDEZ AGUILAR CENTRE FOR ECOLOGICAL AN EVOLUTIONARY SYNTHESIS DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF OSLO, NORWAY INTRODUCTION The general focus of the funded Project was to increase our understanding of the behavioural ecology of chimPanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in an unProtected savanna habitat: the Issa study area within the Masito-Ugalla Ecosystem (hereafter MUE) in western Tanzania. The MUE is a very large landscape (10,800 km2) with relatively low human imPact in comParison to most Places where chimPanzees live and thus is an ideal region for conserving a viable PoPulation of this sPecies for the future. Recently, however, anthroPogenic activities have increased in this ecosystem and thus the main goal of the funded Project was to obtain critical data that would contribute to imProve the design of management strategies for the conservation of these endangered apes before the ecosystem becomes severely threated by human activities. The Issa study area is one of the driest, more oPen and seasonal habitats inhabited by chimPanzees and it is a mosaic comPosed of different vegetation tyPes: woodland, grassland, wooded grassland, swamP, bamboo, and different kind of forests (Hernandez- Aguilar 2006, 2009). The main objective of the funded Project was to assess the sPatio- temPoral availability and nutritional quality of foods available to the chimPanzees in this savanna habitat. SPecifically, by assessing the value of the main vegetation tyPes (forest and woodland) as food Providers for the chimPanzees.

    Storytime Manual for East Albemarle (NC) Regional Library System Developed by Saroj Ghoting Early Childhood Literacy Consultant www.earlylit.net with CiKeithia Pugh Early Learning Program Manager, Seattle (WA)Public Library June 30, 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the many people who made this Storytime Manual what it has come to be. It is a culmination of many years of experience in working in several library systems in Maryland, as well as ideas and approaches gained through working with Every Child Ready to Read®, Supercharged Storytimes, and through learning from so many wonderful library staff when presenting trainings across the United States and Canada. I am grateful to Eastern Albemarle (NC) Regional Library System for giving me the opportunity to write the Manual. The advisory group from EARLS listed below helped set the tone and made sure it would be a user-friendly tool Their contributions are invaluable in enriching the experiences and perspectives here. I applaud each of you for your willingness to change and grow. I am grateful for the specific advice and input from CiKeithia Pugh and Jessica Bratt on the issues of equity, inclusion, and diversity. This is an area where I still struggle so their expertise was vital to integrating this aspect into library storytimes and services. And where would we be without our Jbrary librarians? Lindsay and Dana have helped so many of us feel more comfortable trying out new things and build on old favorites. Thank you to the readers who offered feedback and improved the Manual for all. These are generous colleagues and friends whom I have learned from over the years.
