It Isn't Easy Being Green: Environmental Policy Implications For Foreign Policy, International Law, And Sovereignty, Terry Anderson, J. Bishop Grewell
It Isn't Easy Being Green: Environmental Policy Implications For Foreign Policy, International Law, And Sovereignty, Terry Anderson, J. Bishop Grewell
Chicago Journal of International Law
This paper examines how foreign policy involving trade, defense, diplomacy, and international law is being "greened" at home and abroad as environmental groups pressure government agencies to give environmental concerns greater weight. It argues that these changes represent a fundamental shift in US foreign policy and international relations. It identifies problems that arise from these revisions and explains how free market environmentalism offers a sound alternative that will lead to better environmental protection through freer trade, increased wealth, and decentralization.
On The Balance Between International Law And Democratic Sovereignty, Daniel W. Drezner
On The Balance Between International Law And Democratic Sovereignty, Daniel W. Drezner
Chicago Journal of International Law
This paper asks two questions. First, is it the case, as some have claimed, that principles of democratic sovereignty are eroding at the expense of international law principles? I argue that international law is increasingly utilized to circumvent sovereignty, even if such sovereignty is democratic in origin. However, it should be recognized that the actors most responsible for this trend are not NGOs, epistemic communities of international lawyers, or the United Nations, but the great powers of the world, namely the United States and the members of the European Union. The United States in particular has been adept at fashioning …

The Progress Of Computing, William D. Nordhaus
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
The present study analyzes computer performance over the last century and a half. Three results stand out. First, there has been a phenomenal increase in computer power over the twentieth century. Performance in constant dollars or in terms of labor units has improved since 1900 by a factor in the order of 1 trillion to 5 trillion, which represent compound growth rates of over 30 percent per year for a century. Second, there were relatively small improvements in efficiency (perhaps a factor of ten) in the century before World War II. Around World War II, however, there was a substantial …
Niche Partitioning Of Monteverde Warbler Species Based On Differences In Microhabitat And Vertical Stratification, September 2001, Justin Pochman
Niche Partitioning Of Monteverde Warbler Species Based On Differences In Microhabitat And Vertical Stratification, September 2001, Justin Pochman
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Two congeneric warbler species in Monteverde occupy similar niches and may be competing for resources. The Three-striped Warbler (Basileuterus tristriatus) and the Golden-crowned Warbler (B. culicivorus) are both forest interior species that glean and sally for insects within several meters of the ground. This study looks at foraging preferences in these two species in areas of overlap and non-overlap, which is particularly important in light of recent geographic shifts upslope by the Golden-crowned Warbler (Donnelly 1998; Pounds 1999). The results show that the Three-striped and the Goldencrowned Warbler significantly overlap in both altitude (between 1420 m and 1485 m) and …
Effects Of Plant Size And Flower Color On The Reproductive Success Of Pleurothallis Sanchoi (Orchidaceae), September 2001, Sarah Strozinski
Effects Of Plant Size And Flower Color On The Reproductive Success Of Pleurothallis Sanchoi (Orchidaceae), September 2001, Sarah Strozinski
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Factors contributing to the reproductive success of Pleurothallis sanchoi were examined in relation to plant size and flower color. This particular orchid has plants of varying sizes as well as three color morphs including yellow, purple, and yellow with purple petals. First, the potential for reproductive success was deduced by measuring, on individuals in natural populations, leaf and flower number and how they are related to flower color. Second, the removal and deposition of pollinia on flowers of different colors was examined. It was found that larger plants generally had more flowers, although there appears to be an upper limit …
Long-Billed Hummingbird Specificity To Long Corolla Flowers, September 2001, Laura Anne Kefauver
Long-Billed Hummingbird Specificity To Long Corolla Flowers, September 2001, Laura Anne Kefauver
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Long-billed hummingbirds prefer long corolla flowers, although structurally they can readily visit short corollas (Feinsinger 1983; Mayzel 1997). This study examined how facultative long-billed hummingbird preferences are to corolla length as well as the role of interference competition. Red and orange plastic tubes of two sizes (short = 2 cm, long = 4 cm) were attached to the holes of eight hummingbird feeders to mimic short and long corollas. A total of 64 thirty-minute observations were made counting visits to "corollas" of different color and length, species, and competitive interactions were also noted. The color of the corolla did not …
Opilionids: Social Behavior As A Defense Mechanism, September 2001, Scott Rosenthal
Opilionids: Social Behavior As A Defense Mechanism, September 2001, Scott Rosenthal
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Four environments were created with varying populations of opilionids and experienced hourly mass disturbances to observe if there is a relationship between sex and tibia length in grouping in Monteverde, Costa Rica. The ratio of males to females was five to seven and a significant size difference in tibia among sexes was noticed (T-test male mean = 3.719mm; female mean = 3.382mm, P < 0.0001). Additionally males in groups were significantly larger while females showed no difference (male mean tibia length = 3.678mm (solitary), 3.741mm (group), T-test P = 0.0003; female mean = 3.383mm (solitary), 3.381 mm (group), T-test P = 0.9324). As the amount of disturbance increased, the group size would decrease. Yet the percent of return changed little among varying population sizes. Grouping among opilionids may be used to decrease predation. Their chemical defense will have a stronger effect and they may use individuals as barriers from predators with the competitively superior individuals occupying the center of the group.
Precipitation And Temperature Effects On Populations Of Aedes Albopictus (Diptera : Culicidae): Implications For Range Expansion, B W. Alto, Steven A. Juliano
Precipitation And Temperature Effects On Populations Of Aedes Albopictus (Diptera : Culicidae): Implications For Range Expansion, B W. Alto, Steven A. Juliano
Faculty Publications – Biological Sciences
We investigated how temperature and precipitation regime encountered over the life cycle of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) affects populations. Caged populations of A. albopictus were maintained at 22, 26, and 30 degreesC. Cages were equipped with containers that served as sites for oviposition and larval development. All cages were assigned to one of three simulated precipitation regimes: (1) low fluctuation regime - water within the containers was allowed to evaporate to 90% of its maximum before being refilled, (2) high fluctuation regime - water was allowed to evaporate to 25% of its maximum before being refilled, and (3) drying regime - …

Genomes, Gould, And Emergence, Ursula Goodenough
Biology Faculty Research
The publication of the human genome has elicited commentary to the effect that, since fewer genes were identified than anticipated, it follows that genes are less important to human biology than anticipated. The flaws in this syllogism are explained in the context of a treatise on how genomes operate and evolve and how genes function to produce embryos and brains. Most of our most cherished human traits are the result of the emergence of new properties from preexisting genetically scripted ideas, offering countless opportunities to celebrate the evolutionary process.

A Mutation In The Latency-Related Gene Of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Leads To Impaired Ocular Shedding In Acutely Infected Calves, Melissa Inman, Luciane Lovato, Alan R. Doster, Clinton J. Jones
A Mutation In The Latency-Related Gene Of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Leads To Impaired Ocular Shedding In Acutely Infected Calves, Melissa Inman, Luciane Lovato, Alan R. Doster, Clinton J. Jones
School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is an important pathogen of cattle, and infection is usually initiated in the ocular or nasal cavity. Like other alphaherpesviruses, BHV-1 establishes latency in sensory neurons but has the potential of reactivating from latency and spreading. The only abundant viral transcript expressed during latency is the latency-related (LR) RNA, which is alternatively spliced in trigeminal ganglia during acute infection (L. R. Devireddy and C. Jones, J. Virol. 72:7294–7301, 1998). LR gene products inhibit cell cycle progression (Y. Jiang, A. Hossain, M. T. Winkler, T. Holt, A. Doster, and C. Jones, J. Virol. 72:8133–8142, 1998) and chemically …

Functional And Structural Adaptations Of Skeletal Muscle To Microgravity, Robert H. Fitts, Danny R. Riley, Jeffrey J. Widrick
Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Our purpose is to summarize the major effects of space travel on skeletal muscle with particular emphasis on factors that alter function. The primary deleterious changes are muscle atrophy and the associated decline in peak force and power. Studies on both rats and humans demonstrate a rapid loss of cell mass with microgravity. In rats, a reduction in muscle mass of up to 37% was observed within 1 week. For both species, the antigravity soleus muscle showed greater atrophy than the fast-twitch gastrocnemius. However, in the rat, the slow type I fibers atrophied more than the fast type II fibers, …

Eicosanoids Act In Nodulation Reactions To Bacterial Infections In Newly Emerged Adult Honey Bees, Apis Mellifera, But Not In Older Foragers, Jon C. Bedick, Hasan Tunaz, A. R. Nor Aliza, Sean Putnam, Marion D. Ellis, David W. Stanley
Eicosanoids Act In Nodulation Reactions To Bacterial Infections In Newly Emerged Adult Honey Bees, Apis Mellifera, But Not In Older Foragers, Jon C. Bedick, Hasan Tunaz, A. R. Nor Aliza, Sean Putnam, Marion D. Ellis, David W. Stanley
Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications
Nodulation is the first, and qualitatively predominant, cellular defense reaction to bacterial infections in insects. We tested the hypothesis that eicosanoids also mediate nodulation reactions to bacterial challenge in adults of a social insect, the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Treating newly-emerged experimental bees with the eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitor, dexamethasone, impaired nodulation reactions to bacterial infections, and the influence of dexamethasone was reversed by treating infected insects with arachidonic acid, an eicosanoid precursor. Several other eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitors, including the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, and the dual cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor, phenidone, also impaired the ability of experimental honeybees to form nodules in …

The Effects Of Habitat Structural Complexity On Bird Species Richness And Composition, September 2001, Alison Jane Duff
The Effects Of Habitat Structural Complexity On Bird Species Richness And Composition, September 2001, Alison Jane Duff
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
With the increasing rate of human activities in tropical regions, it is imperative that we understand the effects of habitat change on biodiversity, and develop appropriate conservation methods. A general trend of increasing bird species richness with increasing habitat structural complexity has been observed by a number of ecologists. The purpose of this study was to test whether this relationship holds for cloud forest bird communities in structurally complex primary forest as compared with simpler secondary forestdominated by Conostegia oerstediana (Melastomataceae). I predicted a strong positive correlation between bird species richness and habitat structural complexity, and bird species compositional differences …
Agricultural Land Use And Butterfly Communities, September 2001, Anne Baptiste
Agricultural Land Use And Butterfly Communities, September 2001, Anne Baptiste
Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation
Forest habitat in the tropics is being converted at an alarming rate into agricultural lands. The result is loss of global biodiversity at accelerating rates. Butterflies are common indicator species of how biodiversity responds to changing land use. Here butterflies were used to examine the potential impact of different agricultural practices in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Butterflies were trapped in forest, banana, coffee, and pasture. This study found that coffee plantations support significantly greater species diversity (x2 P < 0.005), than banana or pasture. The forest patch was found to support the greatest number of forest dependent species although numbers of these indicator species were comparably high in coffee and banana as well. Forest species were almost absent in pasture and along edge. This suggests that there are crops, which better approximate forest conditions, while drastic land transformations have a large detrimental impact on biodiversity.
