Burman's Ode to El Once Neighborhood
(Brandeis University Press, 2011-01-01)In the mid-1990s, young directors such as Daniel Burman began making films about ethnic identities and multiple subjectivities in Argentina. Because these filmmakers relied more on personal stories than on overtly political ... -
Interoperability Building Information Modeling and acoustical analysis software - A demonstration of a performing arts hall design process
(Acoustica Society of America, 2013-06-02)By sharing and managing the database for a building model, Building Information Modeling (BIM) facilitates the design process at less cost. Some of BIM software has capabilities for acoustical analysis, but it is limited ... -
The interaction of habitat fragmentation, plant and small mammal succession in an old field
(Ecological Society of America, 2000-06-01)We compared the density and spatial distribution of four small mammal species (Microtus ochrogaster, Peromyscus maniculatus, Sigmodon hispidus, and P. leucopus) along with general measures of an old field plant community ... -
Traditional ecological knowledge: the third alternative
(Ecological Society of America, 2000-10-01)Contemporary Western attitudes concerning the management of natural resources, treatment of nonhuman animals, and the natural world emerge from traditions derived from Western European philosophy, i.e., they assume that ... -
Notes on ‘Organic IP’ & Underground Publishing: Alternative Book Worlds in Latin America
(Wiley, 2014-09-22)The print book today, far from being dead, is an ‘old’ medium being made anew. In Latin America – a context virtually invisible in book studies – the remaking of the print book is most evident in the explosion of small ... -

Phylogenetic Patterns in Montane Troglodytes Wrens
(University of California Press, 1999-05-01)Phylogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of 10 species of wrens in Troglodytes and related genera suggest a new hypothesis of relationships for the group. The Winter Wren (T. troglodytes) and the anomalous ... -
Genetic Variation and Differentiation in Mexican Populations of Common Bush-Tanagers and Chestnut-Capped Brush-Finches
(University of California Press, 1992-02-01)Genetic differentiation among four Mexican populations each of Common Bush-tanagers (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus) and Chestnut-capped Brush-finches (Atlapetes brunneinucha) was evaluated using allozyme electrophoresis. In ... -
Gene Flow in Scrub Jays: Frequency and Direction of Movement
(University of California Press, 1991-11-01)Based on strong differences in plumage coloration between coastal California (californica subspecies group) and Great Basin (woodhousesii subspecies group) populations of Scrub Jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens), museum ... -

Climate Change Effects on Plague and Tularemia in the United States
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2007-11-29)Plague and tularemia are serious zoonotic diseases endemic to North America. We evaluated spatial patterns in their transmission in view of changing climates. First, we tested whether observed shifts since the 1960s are ... -

Inferring distributions of chirodropid box-jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) in geographic and ecological space using ecological niche modeling
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2009-05-29)Geographic distributions of many marine species are poorly documented or understood, which is particularly true for marine invertebrates. Ecological niche modeling (ENM) offers a means to address this issue, but to date ... -
Niche differentiation and fine-scale regional projections for Argentine ants based on remotely-sensed data
(Ecological Society of America, 2006-10-01)Modeling ecological niches of species is a promising approach for predicting the geographic potential of invasive species in new environments. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) rank among the most successful invasive ... -
