▼ Intertidal boulder fields are heterogeneous mosaics of different micro-habitat patches providing high structural complexity and spatial variability of environmental conditions that shape the heterogeneity of abundance of species. The influence of the spatial scale at which ecological patterns are measured has gained much attention over the last two decades. The adaptations to environmental conditions as well as the ability to disperse vary among species and, consequently, result in species-specific responses to heterogeneous environments. Understanding the causes and consequences of spatial patterns of abundance of organisms is a central problem in ecology and insight in underlying mechanisms may have important implications for fisheries management and conservation biology. The competing demands organisms are subject to require compromises to optimise fitness and facilitate the persistence of a population. Reproductive trade-offs, for example, may be largely the result of adaptive processes, constrained by phylogenetic effects. Generally, trade-offs are regarded as a key to understand the evolution of life history characteristics. The present study investigates the spatial dynamics and life history adaptations of an aggregating species, the New Zealand half crab, Petrolisthes elongatus. This species has a biphasic lifecycle and occurs in geographically isolated benthic metapopulations that are associated with cobble beaches, where it reaches extremely high densities. Even though sampling was conducted exclusively in the Wellington region, sites at Cook Strait as well as within Wellington Harbour exhibited considerable differences in habitat structure and temperatures as well as wave exposure and food supply. Cobble size was an excellent predictor of both population density and mean carapace width on almost every scale of observation and, therefore, appeared to be an important indicator of habitat quality for P. elongates because cobble size is closely related to availability and size of interstitial space between boulders the crabs utilize as shelters against predation and desiccation pressure. Crab densities were significantly (6-fold) higher within the harbour compared to south coast sites, presumably due to 1) the different availability of shelter space, 2) lower settlement and recruitment rates at Cook Strait, and 3) higher food supply within the harbour. Population structure was mainly influenced by settlement and recruitment, but also by rock size (i.e. shelter size), size selective predation and a higher mobility of larger crabs. Under laboratory conditions, predation rates among small crabs strongly depended on rock size, whereas large crabs were generally rarely to never preyed upon. Migrated distances did not exceed 100cm over 25h in most cases but were different at different sites. While structural complexity could affect mobility (i.e. easier movement among larger rocks), local density and resulting levels of intraspecific competition were possibly the main drivers of limited mobility of adult crabs.

▼ The stories that people tell about their lives in the context of educational relationships draw attention to the possible experiences through which their lives could grow in meaning. In this collaborative reconstruction of one person’s life history, I present an interpretive retelling of several life stories that this person—Gurraacha Sabaa, an Oromo activist—told me as part of my work at the Dream Desk, a community-based education project designed to strengthen and support learning networks in the communities around a public library in Minneapolis. My interpretive retelling of Gurraacha’s life stories is based on the search for educational possibilities that organizes my work at the Dream Desk. This work requires a broad understanding of education. Thus, I define education as the process by which meaning grows in human lives. This broad definition of education is directly inspired by the work of philosopher John Dewey (1916). It is a way of translating a technical definition of education given by Dewey into the more practical terms required for my work at the Dream Desk. According to Dewey, education is a “reconstruction or reorganization of experience which adds to the meaning of experience, and which increases ability to direct the course of subsequent experience” (p. 82). In Dewey’s definition, the process by which meaning is added to experience is a process of growth. Further inspiration for this broad definition of education is drawn from the work of historian Lawrence Cremin (1976) and anthropologist Hervé Varenne (2007), both of whom recognize education as a fundamental human experience that is not limited to what takes place in schools. By attending to the life stories of one person, I explore the educational possibilities in his life as well as the particular conditions that restrict the realization of those possibilities. Our search for educational possibilities focuses on potential educational experiences related to Gurraacha’s interest in human rights advocacy. And our collaborative reconstruction of his life history focuses on the ways in which the meaning of human rights advocacy is growing in his life. While interpreting the trajectories of meaning revealed by his life stories, I also interpret the educational possibilities created by the ways in which his life history is collaboratively reconstructed in our educational relationship. These interpretations include attention to the practical guidance his life stories provide for our work together as well as the way in which they address me at a symbolic level, marking the differences between my experiences as a white American man and his experiences as an Oromo man. As Jackson (2002) describes, storytelling is both a strategy for “transforming private into public meanings” and a strategy for “sustaining a sense of agency in the face of disempowering circumstances” (p. 15). That is, life stories do much more than provide life with coherence and order (Linde, 1993; Ochs & Capps, 2001). Life stories have democratic and existential imperatives. These…

▼ The ecological causes of life history variation among taxa and the arrangement of such variation along geographic gradients is enigmatic despite the proximity of life history traits to fitness and implications for understanding basic and applied population ecology. One classic explanation for the arrangement of avian life histories along a `slow-fast' gradient, where species at low latitudes have `slow' life history traits (low fecundity and mortality) and species at high latitudes have `fast' life history traits (high fecundity and mortality), is the increase in seasonality of resources with increasing latitude (Ashmole's hypothesis). Despite broad acceptance, this hypothesis has been supported only indirectly. I tested two key predictions of this hypothesis - that most mortality occurs in winter and that most mortality is caused by starvation - using meta-analysis. Surprisingly, in many populations, the season of greatest mortality was summer, and most mortality was caused by predation. These results suggest alternative explanations for life history variation should remain under consideration despite support for Ashmole's hypothesis. The relationship between provisioning behavior and offspring number was long recognized to integrate key life history tradeoffs between number and quality of offspring and between current and future reproductive success. Studies of the response of parental provisioning behavior to brood size variation played a formative role in the development of life history theory. Yet, the inference of such experiments for explaining among-species differences has always been limited by lack of comparative context. I expanded predictions of alternative ecological explanations (food limitation, nest predation, adult mortality) for life history variation to an among-species context and test these predictions using a comparative-experimental design across a broad range of bird species from three continents. I found resource limitation and adult mortality risk interact to explain variation among species in responses to natural and experimental variation in brood size, with the degree of food limitation appearing to vary across a gradient of adult mortality risk. This result helps to explain the potentially conflicting results of previous studies and suggests a pluralistic approach to understanding what factors explain life history variation may be fruitful. Understanding variation among species in mortality rates may thus be pivotal to understanding ecological causes of life history variation. To this end, I compared differences in spatiotemporal variance in survival among three temperate-breeding species with differing migratory strategy. I found that migratory behavior may be associated with reduced spatial variance in annual survival because resident species disperse less, reducing population connectivity. I also found that migratory behavior is associated with increased temporal variance in survival, counter to expectations of general theory. Given the potential importance of…

▼ Evolutionary biology is concerned with how organisms optimize their fitness given a set of environmental and physiological constraints. Throughout this thesis, I examine how behaviours, morphologies, life history traits, and reproductive strategies respond when these constraints critically limit an animal’s options. I consider these questions from a number of perspectives and in diverse organisms. In Chapter Two, I discuss female waterfowl mating behaviour as a case study on the evolution of female strategies under sexual conflict. While female waterfowl are constrained in their mating options by the fact that males can sometimes force copulation with unwilling females, I argue that the female waterfowl strategy of unconditional resistance may have evolved as a way for females to exert some degree of mate choice in a system dominated by male force. In Chapters Three to Six, I report a series of empirical laboratory studies on questions in life-history theory that I conducted in the neriid fly Telostylinus angusticollis. In these experiments, I manipulated key environmental parameters including the social environment as well as nutrient availability during development and adulthood, and measured a range of life-history response variables, such as lifespan, ageing and late-life reproductive rate. The results from these studies suggest that even when conditions are favourable, animals face important fitness trade-offs, and subtle changes in the environment can determine which traits are optimized and which are sacrificed. Moreover, when we constrain an animal’s ability to grow, compete for access to mates, and reproduce, these trade-offs may become more apparent and can result in altered and sometimes unexpected phenotypes. This is exemplified by the well-known lifespan extension and reduced fecundity responses to reduced adult nutrition. In Chapter Seven, I review recent evidence from a number of model species in order to re-evaluate common ideas about the evolution of life-history responses to nutrient availability and suggest a new framework in which to consider the observed responses. I conclude that studies measuring evolved responses to environmental variation should incorporate a range of environments and response variables in order to detect life-history costs that may be subtle, particularly in a laboratory setting.

▼ My dissertation examines everyday life of Chinese communities during the Republic of Việt Nam based on a variety of sources in Vietnamese, Chinese, French and English, most notably rare and rarely-used Chinese-language newspapers from Chợ Lớn. Focusing on social life ordered around markets, native place congregations and temples, schools and work places, hospitals and medicinal halls, sports clubs and restaurants, private homes and public leisure places, my dissertation provides a rich tapestry of Chợ Lớn's Chinese community, particularly its middle class, and the changes it underwent over time. I situate Chợ Lớn in multiple relations: as one center of greater Sài Gòn, economic conduit for the southern Vietnamese hinterlands, socio-cultural hub for Chinese communities throughout Indochina, nodal point in transnational Chinese exchanges linking San Francisco, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore, and contributor to Cold War-era and Taiwan/ROC-centric sinophone articulations. The dissertation is organized into four main chapters: 1) Chợ Lớn’s built environment and human geography, its lived and shared spaces; 2) Education from kindergarten to adult learning between local and transnational networks and the state; 3) Sports and competitions over disciplining bodies and controlling social time; and 4) young adulthood, women in the public sphere, and socialization into multi-layered networks through marriage, work, philanthropy, and other ways of accumulating and spending social capital. Here Chợ Lớn emerges as a site of contestation between diasporic community interests, a “nation-building” Vietnamese state, and the transnational Chinese world not easily negotiated by individuals and further complicated by war, violence, and ideological divisions. My dissertation makes significant contributions to a variety of fields: social history (and here everyday urban life) of which Việt Nam Studies are still desperately starved, to the growing body of studies on the Republic of Việt Nam (and a rare one where the RVN simply “is” rather than “fails”), to conversations about diasporic/minority communities with multiple identities in Việt Nam (and elsewhere), and to knowledge of overseas Chinese and the dynamic currents in the Cold War-era transnational Chinese world.

▼ Many thousands of women were transported to Britain’s colony Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) between 1803, when the colony was founded, and 1853 when transportation ceased. Some died at sea; some endured colonial lives of struggle, poverty or crime; many failed to form families and lived out their years without kith and kin to support them. Eliza Williams was one who prospered. Williams achieved security, status and wealth. Her legacy of letters allows a new assessment of the life, aspirations and opportunities of convict women. Williams, a young Irish woman convicted of theft from her London workplace, arrived in Hobart Town in 1852. By 1862 she was living in Detroit, married to Irishman George Hanley, and with her first child toddling at her feet. In the space of a decade she had travelled from Britain to Australia and back, then across the Atlantic to New York and on to Detroit. Three decades later she was firmly established in Detroit society, living in its premiere Yankee suburb. She had departed Tasmania with skills, knowledge and determination. Hers is a story of transformation: from servant to mistress. Williams served her sentence in the house of John Leake and his family. Leake was master to a household and estate workforce that was predominantly drawn from convict ranks. The Rosedale estate was an open prison. The way convictism shaped the lives of both master and worker is fundamental to this thesis. The original contribution of the research is an analysis of the impact on domestic life of the colonial convict experience. This is achieved by close examination of the lives of two nineteenth-century women, one a transported convict and the other her colonial employer. The thesis also explores how daily life in the private home was conducted and maintained. The research has exposed a neglected archive to detailed examination. The Leake Papers held by the University of Tasmania provided the means to give voice to a diverse community who inhabited a colonial estate and hitherto were silent in the record.

▼ Seasonal environmental changes act as a selective force. Across insects, there are many adaptations to unfavorable seasons. Aestivation is one such adaptation that allows insects to survive hot and dry periods experienced in summer seasons. Drosophila mojavensis is a cactophilic Drosophila species that inhabits the Sonoran Desert. Much work has been done on understanding their ecology, and their taxonomic closeness to the model system Drosophila melanogaster allows us to easily use established molecular tools. In this study, a laboratory-generated population of D. mojavensis was established and raised for four generations in conditions mimicking the field conditions of spring and summer in its natural habitat. Currently, it is unknown what physiological, behavioral and/or metabolic mechanisms allow D. mojavensis to over-summer in this hot desert environment. Collecting individuals in this region during the summer months is rare. Generating a lab raised population allowed me to manipulate temperature and photoperiod and observe changes over multiple generations in a controlled setting. Physiological changes over the generations approaching summer showed increases in heat and desiccation resistance, and overall lower activity levels. Drosophila mojavensis continued to lay eggs during the summer generations, but died much earlier than individuals from spring generations. mRNA expression data revealed sets of genes that were overrepresented in categories such as chaperones, heat response, metabolic processes, and protein synthesis/degradation. Genes that control high energy costing processes were highlighted in this study. This is the first study that systematically attempted to investigate the physiological, life history, behavioral and molecular basis of summer survival in D. mojavensis, and although the mechanism of survival appears complex, it has provided a better understanding of seasonal responses, such as continued egg production and lowered longevity, in this Sonoran Desert endemic species.

▼ Background: Temperature has a fundamental effect on organisms because it alters the speed of biochemical reactions and thus metabolism. This influence scales up to have ecosystem wide effects as the life history strategies of individual species differ in response to temperature. With the prospect of increasing global temperatures ecosystem functions could be interrupted. In order to predict the consequences of changing environmental conditions it is important to first establish how fitness related traits are affected by changing thermal conditions. Aims: The aim of this thesis was to develop a detailed understanding of the thermal niche of an invasive, tropical freshwater fish species. Methods: Using ecologically realistic conditions this thesis investigates the effect of environmental variation within and between generations on behavioural, growth, physiological, and reproductive characteristics of the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Results: The results provide an insight into the fundamental thermal niche of a widely used model fish species as well as detailed measures of how thermal change alters phenotypic characteristics. Guppies are demonstrated to have a broad thermal tolerance and be phenotypically responsive to changing environmental conditions. The results also suggest that environmental characteristics of the guppy’s habitat make an important contribution to the differences observed between populations of guppies in Trinidad. Conclusions: Water temperature in the guppy’s natural environment varies widely over a daily cycle and I suggest that this is partly responsible for the guppy becoming phenotypically plastic and thermally tolerant. Furthermore, phenotypic flexibility is an important characteristic that will enable guppies to withstand some climate warming and continue to expand their invasive range poleward. Using experimental conditions which resemble those in the natural environment is important for developing accurate model parameters. These are necessary for predicting the ecosystem effects of environmental variation and for adaptive mitigation or pre-emptive management of range extensions by invasive species.

▼ This study explores the history of provisioning in industrializing Chicago. It asks two questions: How did the city’s nineteenth-century residents acquire the food, water, clothing, and fuel that they needed to survive? And why, by century’s end, did productive practices such as agriculture fade from the urban landscape? I answer these questions by examining the cultural and environmental history of Chicago’s households. I argue that during the 1830s and 1840s, the city’s households shared many of the same patterns of provisioning. Both merchants’ and workingmen’s families obtained some of what they needed through productive labor, whether by growing food, making clothing, or hauling water. As the nineteenth century progressed, however, such practices disappeared from a portion of Chicago’s households. The city’s upper classes sought increasing distance from labor in nature, and they used products, servants, and municipal services to make their homes appear free from toil. They did so to distinguish themselves from the city’s working class, who continued to use homes, yards, and the urban landscape to produce some of what they needed. My study of provisioning thus shows that the well-to-do constructed class identities through their most intimate relationships to nature. Out of the shared needs of human subsistence, these men and women created social difference. With chapters that move from frontier woodsheds to antebellum kitchen gardens to Gilded Age dinner parties, my study challenges the assumption that domestic life reflected, rather than shaped, the emerging industrial order. Transformations in provisioning were not inevitable consequences of industrialization; rather, these labors changed because of the values and actions of the well-to-do. My study also challenges the prevailing belief that industrialization alienated urban dwellers from the nature that sustained them. Not only do I show that the working class continued to know nature through domestic labors such as gardening and scavenging, but I also suggest that alienation was an upper-class project?a homespun effort to obscure the ties that bound them to nature and to their fellow urban dwellers. For better or worse, the modern relationship to nature was forged in Chicago’s kitchens and parlors as well as its stockyards and factories.

▼ Life history aspects of Roundnose Minnows, Dionda episcopa, were examined for specimens collected between 2011 and 2013 in El Rito Creek, near Santa Rosa New Mexico. A recent study examining DNA suggested that, instead of supporting a widespread population of the Roundnose Minnow, New Mexico is actually home to two evolutionarily distinct Roundnose Minnow populations. This focus of this study is on the life history attributes of what may become a newly described species of Dionda. Modal class progression analysis (Bhattacharya method) documented four distinct age classes of Roundnose Minnows within El Rito Creek. Sex ratios deviated from the expected 1:1 ratio in 2011, 2012, 2013, and for the study period as a whole. In all cases, sex ratios were biased towards females. Mean female GSI values show statistically significant peaks during 2011 and 2012, with little statistical differences among 2013 mean monthly GSI values. Water quality had little explanatory power in predicting mean female GSI values when included as dependent variables in regression models. Microscopic examination of a sub-set of female gonads documented sexually mature females as small as 34 mm standard length. Larval specimens of Roundnose Minnow occurred in nearly every sample in which that life stage was targeted for collection. These included all 2012 collections; the only complete calendar year during the study period. The continual collection of larval fish indicates some level of year round spawning by adult Roundnose Minnow. Because artesian discharge is the primary water source for El Rito Creek, relatively stable water temperatures and habitat conditions could be favorable to year-round spawning by Roundnose Minnow. Continuous spawning, female biased sex ratios, and female sexual maturity at a relatively small size suggest a population that has a high intrinsic rate of increase and can sustain high turnover rates.

▼ The Pecos Gambusia, Gambusia nobilis, is an endangered, live bearing fish inhabiting sinkholes in a restricted range of the Pecos River Watershed in New Mexico and Texas. The sink holes at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge (BLNWR), Roswell, NM create isolated habitats with varying ecological conditions (habitat size, community composition, dissolved oxygen, salinity and pH). This ecological variation imposes unique selective pressures that may shape differences in life history characteristics and morphology between populations. The goals of this research were to characterize seasonal and population variation in 1) life history characteristics, 2) embryo development patterns, 3) morphology and 4) explore cursory relationships between ecological conditions and G. nobilis morphology and life history. Monthly sampling was conducted at BLNWR (May 2011 through April 2012) at sinkholes 7, 27 South, 31, and 37. A trade-off between egg size and brood size was observed from investment in many small embryos to fewer large offspring from April through August. Despite differences in ecological parameters, no significant differences in reproductive traits were observed between the populations. Interestingly, reproductive effort and average egg size were not correlated with female size. Larger females invested relatively the same amount into reproduction but invested in larger broods rather than increased average egg mass. An analysis of embryo developmental stages identified 1) asynchronous reproduction between females, 2) eggs in multiple stages of development within some gravid females (evidence for superfetation), and 3) increasing average egg mass of later developmental stages suggesting some element of matrotrophy (post-fertilization nutrient transfer). Geometric morphometric techniques were used to evaluate seasonal and population shape differences. During the reproductive season, females tended to be deeper bodied with a posteriorly shifted anal fin. Males and females from sinkhole 31 differed significantly from the other populations; they had deeper body profiles and shorter caudal peduncles than sinkholes 7, 27 South, and 37 which could be related to less predation and higher dissolved oxygen in sinkhole 31. Analyzing life history allocation strategies and identifying seasonal and population differences in morphology and reproduction contributes information that may be important in formulating management strategies and conservation plans for this endangered species.

▼ This dissertation explores the interplay of education and empowerment as it is lived by seven young Tanzanian women and developed at a unique all-girls’ secondary school in Tanzania. Drawing on interviews and participant observation from eight trips over four years, this study offers a longitudinal, ethnographic exploration of the school, Sasema Secondary School for Girls, to explore the rationale and production of curricula, pedagogies and practices that draw on global, national and local notions of empowerment and education. This study illuminates the tensions, vulnerabilities, feats and aspirations in young women’s lives through employing a life history approach focusing on three young women’s complete life histories. It examines the role that schooling has played, and has not played, in what these women describe as a contingent movement from vulnerability toward increasing security and well-being. This dissertation advances two main arguments: First, by exploring the practices and pedagogies at Sasema that young women have found to be valuable in their lives both at and beyond school, it demonstrates the significance of, and possibilities for, emotional and social learning through schooling while underscoring the importance of care in schools. As such, this research reinforces calls to conceptualize educational quality beyond the metrics of academic knowledge or vocational skills, traditionally thought of as schooling’s raison d’être, toward more holistic notions of education for the whole person. Second, this study complicates and adds nuance to accepted notions of empowerment through education by offering deeply contextualized portraits of young women’s lives as they understand them to be unfolding. Although empowerment is frequently analyzed in economic or political terms, this work reveals that, for these young women, empowerment is also profoundly psychosocial and even corporeal. Furthermore, additional forces, such as family, religion and community, are at play in their notions of processes that advance their well-being and the well-being of others. As such, this study reveals disjunctures between empowerment through education as it lived by young women in Tanzania and as discussed by scholars of international development, education and gender.
