Realism, Antirealism, and Conventionalism about Race

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan Michael and Winther, Rasmus Grønfeldt
Abstract:: This paper distinguishes three concepts of “race”: bio-genomic cluster/race, biological race, and social race. We map out realism, antirealism, and conventionalism about each of these, in three important historical episodes: Frank Livingstone and Theodosius Dobzhansky in 1962, A.W.F. Edwards’ 2003 response to Lewontin (1972), and contemporary discourse. Semantics is especially...

Race, IQ, and the Search for Statistical Signals Associated with So-Called “X”-Factors: Environments, Racism, and the “Hereditarian Hypothesis”

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan Michael
Abstract:: Some authors defending the "hereditarian" hypothesis with respect to differences in average IQ scores between populations have argued that the sorts of environmental variation hypothesized by some researchers rejecting the hereditarian position should leave discoverable statistical traces, namely changes in the overall variance of scores or in variance-covariance relating scores...

Candidate Causes, Consequences, and Estimation of Individual Diet Specialization

Creator:: Coblentz, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Diet variation among individuals within populations is widespread. Often diet differences among individuals are attributable to obvious differences among individuals such as age, sex, or morphology.

Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:: Hagen, Joel Bartholemew
Abstract:: During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy.

Diverse consumer guilds in intertidal communities of Oregon and the Republic of Panama and their effects on prey assemblages

Creator:: Gaines, Steven D.
Abstract:: Low intertidal communities of Oregon and Panama have many predator and herbivore species. This diversity of consumers is important to the organization of both communities because of qualitative differences among the consumer species in their ability to circumvent specific prey defenses. In Oregon, the red alga Iridaea cordata is protected...
