Dung beetle community data at Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project in 2022
No full text<p>The Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project (KRCP) is a critical initiative aimed at safeguarding the delicate tropical forest ecosystems in the Tongod and Kinabatangan districts of Sabah, located on the island of Malaysian Borneo. These ecosystems encompass a total area of 83,381 hectares and primarily consist of lowland and hill mix dipterocarp forests, which are known for their rich biodiversity and ecological importance. </p><p>To achieve this, the project focuses on dung beetles as a focal taxon for study due to their strong dependence on mammal dung. The presence and diversity of dung beetles serve as valuable indicators of ecosystem health, making them a suitable proxy for monitoring changes in forest ecosystems. In addition, Dung beetles play a vital role in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes within ecosystems. Their presence and activity are closely linked to the overall health and functioning of the forest. Monitoring dung beetle populations can provide insights into the ecological values of the KRCP area. By understanding the dynamics of dung beetle populations in response to human activities and habitat changes, the KRCP project can inform conservation efforts in the region. We used human dung for all ground pitfall traps and canopy traps, and the traps were set in the field for 24 hours. The fieldwork were conducted on September 2022. </p>

In Fleming's Footsteps: Recognizing and Documenting Gendered Care Work in Astronomy
No full textBeginning in 1885, the Harvard College Observatory (now part of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian) began an ambitious project to survey the entire night sky. Astronomers at Harvard’s central observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its new observatory in Arequipa, Peru, ultimately produced over 500,000 glass plate images of the night sky. Directors of the Harvard College Observatory hired women, known as “computers,” to study, organize, and care for its immense glass plate collection in Cambridge. Since 2003, a majority-female staff has worked to digitize and extract data from these plates in a project known as Digital Access to a Sky Century at Harvard (DASCH).
This collection contains oral histories of four care workers responsible for data production associated with the DASCH project. The oral histories aim to recognize care workers embodied work practices, document their immense contributions to women’s history and astronomy, and combat the historical erasure of care work in science and beyond.
Oral history interviews were conducted in 2022 by Sydney Coldren, a Because of Her Story intern at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's John G. Wolbach Library.The transcripts and recordings included in this collection are restricted until December 1, 2040. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions
