  • Differing Wariness for Approaching Humans Among Cormorant Migrants Advancing Into Rural Or Urban Habitats
    Journal of Agricultural Science; Vol. 7, No. 11; 2015 ISSN 1916-9752 E-ISSN 1916-9760 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Differing Wariness for Approaching Humans among Cormorant Migrants Advancing into Rural or Urban Habitats Kei’ichiro Iguchi1, Hideki Tanaka2, Takushi Shinagawa2, Tetsuya Tsuruta3, Takaharu Natsumeda4, Koji Konish2 & 4 Shin-ichiro Abe 1 Graduate School of Fishery Science and Environmental Studies, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, Japan 2 Gunma Fisheries Experiment Station, Gunma, Japan 3 Department of Human Life and Environment, Faculty of Human Environment, Osaka Sangyo University, Osaka, Japan 4 Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education, Ibaraki University, Ibaraki, Japan Correspondence: Kei’ichiro Iguchi, Graduate School of Fishery Science and Environmental Studies, Nagasaki University, 1-14 Bunkyo, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 27, 2015 Accepted: September 17, 2015 Online Published: October 15, 2015 doi:10.5539/jas.v7n11p180 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jas.v7n11p180 Abstract The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae) is one of the largest piscivorous water birds in Japan. It is in the phase of recovery from a long-term decline in the numbers, with its population drastically increasing throughout Japan. This potentially impacts cormorant’s predation conflicts with inland fisheries. Recent cormorant migrants often appear to inhabit more urbanized areas although the species once preferred habitats remote from human activities. This novel dwelling preference remains unexplained. The present study aimed to understand the processes promoting their expansion, especially focusing on those that help acquire foraging success in urban habitats. Measurements on primary production in aquatic ecosystem did not detect superiority of urban habitats over rural ones.

  • LEAVING Hotill CALAFORNIX
    LEAVING HOtILL CALAFORNIX Undamming the world’s rivers, forcing the collection of that which falls from the heavens and/or your ass, o camillo. An autobiographic historical expose, for Life. Introit I’m John Lawrence Kanazawa Jolley. Currently life on the planet is having a stroke, diagnosed from a human’s anatomy point of view, severe blockage of its flow ways. From life’s point of view humans are dam, slacker home building, ditch digging, drain the well dry, devil’s GMO food of the god’s, monocultural, sewage pumpers or porous dam sheddy flushtoile.t. ecocide artists. Compounding this problem is a machine/computer/vessel/organism that creates clone doppelganger pirates that’ve highjacked the surface guilty of the same crime. If we do anything well its intuitive container transportation. This is the case. I’m educated University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Horticulture. I’m a trapper, gardener, carpenter, fisherperson, cooper and teacher. Drainage is the most important idea to consider when gardening. I paddled a canoe across North America and back, been through Lake Sacagawea twice. I’m a bullfighter, the foremost gardener in the world, the point spokesman for life, the man himself, hole puncher, obstacle remover, the pencil man, the one, Christ almighty. The character who appears again when it’s an “Obama nation of desolation” to save the world from damnation. I’m a specialist, designed specifically to solve the currentless dam problem. The timeliest, most intelligent, aggressive, offensive, desperate character ever created, for a reason. The health of life on the planet is in severe question.

Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Caleb Swift Carter 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Place, Tradition and the Gods: Mt. Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries by Caleb Swift Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William M. Bodiford, Chair This dissertation considers two intersecting aspects of premodern Japanese religions: the development of mountain-based religious systems and the formation of numinous sites. The first aspect focuses in particular on the historical emergence of a mountain religious school in Japan known as Shugendō. While previous scholarship often categorizes Shugendō as a form of folk religion, this designation tends to situate the school in overly broad terms that neglect its historical and regional stages of formation. In contrast, this project examines Shugendō through the investigation of a single site. Through a close reading of textual, epigraphical, and visual sources from Mt. Togakushi (in present-day Nagano Ken), I trace the development of Shugendō and other religious trends from roughly the thirteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This study further differs from previous research insofar as it analyzes Shugendō as a concrete system of practices, doctrines, members, institutions, and identities.
