A Mortality Cost Of Virginity At Older Ages In Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies, James R. Carey, Pablo Liedo, Lawrence G. Harshman, Ying Zhang, Hans-Georg Müller, Linda Partridge, Jane-Ling Wang Jan 2002

A Mortality Cost Of Virginity At Older Ages In Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies, James R. Carey, Pablo Liedo, Lawrence G. Harshman, Ying Zhang, Hans-Georg Müller, Linda Partridge, Jane-Ling Wang

Lawrence G. Harshman Publications

Mortality rates were measured over the lifetime of 65,000 female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata, maintained in either all-female (virgin) cages or cages with equal initial numbers of males, to determine the effect of sexual activity and mating on the mortality trajectory of females at older ages. Although a greater fraction of females maintained in all-female (virgin) cages survived to older ages, the life expectancy of the surviving virgins was less than the life expectancy of surviving non-virgins at older ages. This was due to a mortality crossover where virgin flies experience lower mor-tality than mated flies from eclosion to …

An Overview Of Canadian Privacy Law For Pharmaceutical And Device Manufacturers Operating In Canada, Erika Lietzan, John K. Fuson Jan 2002

An Overview Of Canadian Privacy Law For Pharmaceutical And Device Manufacturers Operating In Canada, Erika Lietzan, John K. Fuson

Faculty Publications

On April 13, 2000, the Canadian Parliament enacted by Royal Assent the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Act requires private organizations to comply with a code of “fair information practice,” which mandates individual consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. PIPEDA complements the Federal Privacy Act, which places similar obligations on government institutions. On January 1, 2002, the Act began to apply to personal information (including personal health information) collected, used, or disclosed by a federal work, undertaking, or business, and personal information (including personal health information) disclosed by any organization for consideration …

Integrated Resource Management Courses : Lessons Learned After Six Years, Hugh O. Canham Jan 2002

Integrated Resource Management Courses : Lessons Learned After Six Years, Hugh O. Canham

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Integrated management courses, or capstone courses, have been inserted into many forestry and natural resource college curricula. The general intent is to have the students bring together the knowledge they have gained in other courses and synthesize an holistic solution to some set of issues. At Syracuse such a course was made a required part of the senior year in the Forest Resources Management program starting in the fall of 1996. The author has taught the course almost every semester, sometimes in conjunction with others. Over the years various procedures were tried, different cases utilized, and different requirements placed on …

Online Forest Biology And Tree Identification Graduate Class For Public School Educators, John R. Seiler, W. Mike Aust Jan 2002

Online Forest Biology And Tree Identification Graduate Class For Public School Educators, John R. Seiler, W. Mike Aust

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

As a result of certification and accreditation standards, public school teachers are often required to take graduate education courses. However, it is often difficult for these teachers/students to take courses in residence at campuses. Further, there is often a shortage of specialized courses in their area of teaching. There is also a demand for natural-resource-based classes since, in Virginia, many of the standards of learning can be effectively taught using examples from forests. In response to the above issues, we developed an entirely online graduate course that covered forest biology, management, and tree identification. In the summer of 2001, 24 …

Achieving Sustainable Forest Management And Certification In The Southeast : Development Of A Distance Learning Course, Susan Moore, Fred Cubbage

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

The paper will summarize our new effort to develop an integrated distance education / professional education course on forest certification and sustainable forest management (SFM) in the Southeast. The course will present a practical, applied view of the elements of forest certification for private forestlands in the South- east, as well as a review of the SFM criteria and indicators. The innovative course design will present the material in five different modules, covering international SFM agreements, forest certification systems and processes, social and biological issues in certification, and certification process and record-keeping requirements.

Comparison Of Academic Statistics Of Two-Year College Transfer And Native Fisheries And Wildlife Students At The University Of Missouri, Janice E. Faaborg, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Mark R. Ryan Jan 2002

Comparison Of Academic Statistics Of Two-Year College Transfer And Native Fisheries And Wildlife Students At The University Of Missouri, Janice E. Faaborg, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Mark R. Ryan

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

As an increasing number of high school graduates take advantage of less-stringent economic and entrance requirements offered through two-year colleges, concern is mounting at the University of Missouri (MU) and other major universities about the ability of two-year college transfer students to compete in advanced, preprofessional curricula such as Fisheries and Wildlife. We assessed the validity of this concern by examining the academic histories of two-year college transfer students (n=21), students transferring into our department from another MU program (n=23), and students who had enrolled in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences (FW) as freshmen (n=56). Two-year college transfer students were less …

Looking Before We Leap: A Three-Part Study To Prepare For College Reorganization, Claudia L. Anderson, Mark W. Brunson Jan 2002

Looking Before We Leap: A Three-Part Study To Prepare For College Reorganization, Claudia L. Anderson, Mark W. Brunson

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

In Spring 2001 the College of Natural Resources at Utah State University voted on a plan for reorganization of departments and curricula that is intended to better reflect future natural resource science and management needs. To prepare for curriculum redesign we evaluated the career objectives and educational needs of undergraduate students in natural resources and related fields by means of a three-part study of relevant groups: current students, public agency professionals, and prospective students who chose nonnatural resources majors. Students typically seek traditional jobs with public agencies, but a large proportion also expect to attend graduate school. Comparison of seniors …

From "Natural Resources" To "Environment": Broadening Our Mission And Message, Robert Manning, Donald Dehayes Jan 2002

From "Natural Resources" To "Environment": Broadening Our Mission And Message, Robert Manning, Donald Dehayes

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

This important conference (the fourth in a series) addresses higher education in “natural resources.” Indeed, most participants are affiliated with programs, departments, schools, or colleges of natural resources and/or related professional terms such as conservation, forestry, wildlife biology, range science, and park management. By professional standards, these areas of study and practice are relatively young. However, the words we use to describe them (and ourselves) are a century or more old. Gifford Pinchot was America’s first professional forester, and he coined the word “conservation” early in his career (or so he writes in his book, Breaking New Ground). The Conservation …

I'S And E'S Of Natural Resources Education, Or, Moving From Learner To Teacher, Gary J. San Julian Jan 2002

I'S And E'S Of Natural Resources Education, Or, Moving From Learner To Teacher, Gary J. San Julian

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Natural Resources provide some of the most fertile and interesting subjects for an educator to present. Yet, our undergraduate and graduate students are poorly prepared to be educators. Few Master's or Doctoral programs require any education courses before a degree is bestowed. We touch hundreds of students each year in our classes who will become professionals, but are we giving them the tools to pass on their love of the resource to the next generation? Undergraduates and graduate students who are taking our courses should, in my opinion, have the skills and more importantly the desire to pass on the …
