On the one hand, the belief that nonhuman animals suffer and feel pain is what draws many people to want to study animal welfare in the first place. Animal welfare is seen as fundamentally different from plant “welfare” or the welfare of works of art precisely because of the widely held belief that animals have feelings and experience emotions in ways that plants or inanimate objectsdhowever valuableddo not (Midgley, 1983; Regan, 1984; Rollin, 1989; Singer, 1975). On the other hand, consciousness is also the most elusive and difficult to study of any biological phenomenon (Blackmore, 2012; Koch, 2004). Even with our own human consciousness, we are still baffled as to how Advances in the Study of Behavior, Volume 47 ISSN 0065-3454 © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Why don't they go on strike? Because the slaves are not genetically related to anything that comes out of the nest where they are now working. Any gene that tended to make them go on strike would have no possibility of being benefited by the striking action. The copies of their genes, the ·copies of these striking workers genes, would be back in the home nest, and they would be being turned out by the queen, which the striking workers left behind. So there would be no opportunity for a phenotypic effect, namely striking, to benefit germ line copies of themselves.

  • Jarid2 Coordinates Nanog Expression and PCP/Wnt Signaling Required for Efficient ESC Differentiation and Early Embryo Developmen
    Article Jarid2 Coordinates Nanog Expression and PCP/Wnt Signaling Required for Efficient ESC Differentiation and Early Embryo Development Graphical Abstract Authors David Landeira, Hakan Bagci, Andrzej R. Malinowski, ..., Thomas Carroll, Matthias Merkenschlager, Amanda G. Fisher Correspondence [email protected] (D.L.), amanda.fi[email protected] (A.G.F.) In Brief Landeira et al. show that Jarid2-null ESCs have reduced Wnt9a/Prickle1/Fzd2 and low b-catenin activity, resulting in altered adhesion, constitutive expression of Nanog, and failure to differentiate. Their experiments identify a non-canonical function for Jarid2 in regulating the balance between ESC self-renewal and differentiation. Highlights d ESCs lacking Jarid2 show constitutive Nanog expression d ESCs lacking Jarid2 have reduced PCP/Wnt signaling d Co-culture of Jarid2-null and WT ESCs restores differentiation capability d Jarid2-null ESCs form more than one ICM upon injection to E3.5 mouse blastocysts Landeira et al., 2015, Cell Reports 12, 573–586 July 28, 2015 ª2015 The Authors http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2015.06.060 Cell Reports Article Jarid2 Coordinates Nanog Expression andPCP/WntSignalingRequiredforEfficient ESC Differentiation and Early Embryo Development David Landeira,1,2,5,* Hakan Bagci,1,5 Andrzej R.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
