Elevational And Vertical Feeding Preferences Of Cloud Forest Butterflies, September 1999, Erin Araujo Sep 1999

Elevational And Vertical Feeding Preferences Of Cloud Forest Butterflies, September 1999, Erin Araujo

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The use of indicator species in conservation biology has proven to be an effective means of gauging the biointegrity of communities and ecosystems. Nymphalid butterflies are excellent bioindicators of forest and forest edge habitats. Their varied microhabitats required during different stages of development make them excellent subjects for studies in vertical and elevational niche partitioning. This study examines the vertical niche partitioning of Nymphalid butterflies along an elevational gradient in the Estación Biológica Reserve in Monteverde, Costa Rica. This forest contains both fragmented and continuous forest sections, thus making it a good representation of presently protected forests. The study was …

Cinderella's Social Transformations, Rosemary Lutz Aug 1999

Cinderella's Social Transformations, Rosemary Lutz

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The tale of Cinderella has made its way around the world for centuries, yet this highly recognizable plot continues to be a popular contemporary theme: a young girl cast into suffering, treated maliciously, and subjected to privation eventually is summoned to a regal existence. We easily identify the Cinderella character even in the guise of a mermaid in the film Splash; as a factory worker, who lives in a dull and lifeless town which replaces Cinderella's traditional ashen hearth, in An Officer and a Gentleman; or as a prostitute whose trick turns out to be Prince Charming in Pretty Woman. …

Facing The Consequences: Identifying The Limitations Of How We Categorize People In Research And Policy, Cynthia Wallat, Carolyn Steele Jul 1999

Facing The Consequences: Identifying The Limitations Of How We Categorize People In Research And Policy, Cynthia Wallat, Carolyn Steele

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Social policy researchers and policy rules and regulation writers have not taken advantage of advances in assessing ways in which social representations of ideas about people can convey alternative explanations of social life. During the past decade a growing number of scholars have considered how representational practices and the representations that are outcomes of such practices have value. Neglecting to consider representational practices has consequences including failure to mobilize and sustain alternative ideologies that reject narrow perspectives on families and communities. ...

The Effects Of High Median Age On Currency Of Resources In Community College Library Collections, Anna H. Perrault, Richard Madaus, Ann Armbrister, Jeannie Dixon, Rhonda Smith Jul 1999

The Effects Of High Median Age On Currency Of Resources In Community College Library Collections, Anna H. Perrault, Richard Madaus, Ann Armbrister, Jeannie Dixon, Rhonda Smith

School of Information Faculty Publications

In 1998, a comprehensive study was conducted of the monograph collections of the twenty-eight public community colleges in Florida. This article reports the findings of that study with respect to median age and currency of resources. The rationale for the interpretation of the findings in the Florida Community College Collection Assessment Project is congruent with the philosophy that college collections should emphasize the instructional and curricular needs of students and, therefore, that the collections should emphasize current resources rather than retrospective depth. The findings on median age from the Florida Community College study serve as an example for the discussion …

Supporting Community-Oriented Educational Change: Case And Analysis, Linda Mabry, Laura Ettinger Apr 1999

Supporting Community-Oriented Educational Change: Case And Analysis, Linda Mabry, Laura Ettinger

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

A study of a federally funded program to develop and implement community-oriented social studies curricula and curriculum-based assessments grounds cautions for educational change initiatives. In this case, despite the project director's stated intent to support teachers' desire for instruction regarding local culture and history, top-down support for classroom-level change evidenced insensitivity. Production and implementation of the planned curricula and assessments was obstructed by teacher's lack of cultural identification with the targeted community groups, workload, competing institutional priorities, inadequate communication, and organizational politics. Professional development was sometimes beneficial but more often ineffective - either perfunctory, unnecessary, or disregarded. The findings offer …

Contextualizing Homeschooling Data: A Response To Rudner, Kariane Mari Welner, Kevin G. Welner Apr 1999

Contextualizing Homeschooling Data: A Response To Rudner, Kariane Mari Welner, Kevin G. Welner

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Rudner (1999) presents the results of a survey and testing program, administered by Bob Jones University (BJU), for homeschooling students. In this response, we applaud Rudner's contribution to building a greater understanding of the homeschooling movement. However, we also voice a strong concern that what Rudner contributed with one hand, he took back with the other. We contend that Rudner's analysis of the BJU data fails to offer a straightforward explanation of important and striking limitations. The unfortunate result is an inaccurate portrayal of homeschoolers as a white, Christian, monolithic population. Although the results of Rudner's analyses are likely valid …

Cueva De Villa Luz, Tabasco, Mexico: Reconnaissance Study Of An Active Sulfur Spring Cave And Ecosystem, Louise D. Hose, James A. Pisarowicz Apr 1999

Cueva De Villa Luz, Tabasco, Mexico: Reconnaissance Study Of An Active Sulfur Spring Cave And Ecosystem, Louise D. Hose, James A. Pisarowicz

KIP Articles

Cueva de Villa Luz (a.k.a. Cueva de las Sardinas) in Tabasco, Mexico, is a stream cave with over a dozen H2S-rich springs rising from the floor. Oxidation of the H2S in the stream results in abundant, suspended elemental sulfur in the stream, which is white and nearly opaque. Hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the cave atmosphere fluctuate rapidly and often exceed U.S. government tolerance levels. Pulses of elevated carbon monoxide and depleted oxygen levels also occasionally enter the cave. Active speleogenesis occurs in this cave, which is forming in a small block of Lower Cretaceous limestone adjacent to a fault. Atmospheric …

Prospectus For Information Ecology, John R. Stepp Jan 1999

Prospectus For Information Ecology, John R. Stepp

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Information Ecology (hereafter IE) is a field of inquiry being developed, in part, by members of the Department of Anthropology, University of Georgia (Appendix A). The following prospectus represents a work in progress and is the latest incarnation in a series of revisions since the first IE prospectus was developed in 1990 (Appendix B). The purpose of the prospectus is not to bound what is, admittedly, an eclectic mode of investigation, but rather to outline a field of inquiry that is inherently multidisciplinary and seeks theoretical complementarity both among disparate fields and levels of analysis. The goals are as follows: …

Practical Field Considerations For Time Allocation Study, Eileen Mueller Jan 1999

Practical Field Considerations For Time Allocation Study, Eileen Mueller

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

This paper briefly describes four methods of time allocation study and examines the use of one of them, the "random spot-check," in the field. Time allocation methods provide quantitative data that is particularly useful for environmental or ecological research in anthropology. Practical problems of implementation, however, often override their theoretical usefulness. The "random spot-check" technique can be hindered by unforeseen time constraints and social considerations. The insightful data generated through this field method, however, may make it worthwhile for the researcher to attempt to overcome its practical limitations and include it in his or her research project.
