How Many Fathers? Frequency of Multiple Paternity in Soupfin Sharks (Galeorhinus galeus) from California and Australia
Get PDFMultiple paternity has been widely documented in elasmobranch fishes (sharks, rays, and skates); however, the frequency of multiple paternity (FMP; the percentage of sampled litters having multiple sires) varies greatly both among and within species. Understanding the reasons for this inter- and intraspecific variation in FMP may be key to understanding why females mate with multiple males. The soupfin shark (Galeorhinus galeus) is an understudied species in this regard with only one study previously investigating multiple paternity, in which two out of five litters sampled from New Zealand were found to have multiple sires (FMP = 40.0%). We augmented this small sample size by genotyping an additional ten litters sampled from central South Australia, Australia (mean litter size = 32.6 ± 7.8 pups) as well as ten litters sampled from southern California, USA (mean litter size = 30.9 ± 8.5 pups). Multiple paternity was detected in four of the ten litters sampled from Australia (FMP = 40.0%) and two of the ten litters sampled from California (FMP = 20.0%). Our findings were generally consistent with the previous study of this species and we conclude that G. galeus exhibits a relatively low FMP when compared to other elasmobranch species
‘Green is the Color of the Luxuriant Vegetation of Our Motherland’: Marcus Garvey, Temporality, and Wilderness as a Repeating Phase
Get PDFLike other nationalists of the early twentieth century, the Harlem-based Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey invoked landscape to rally potential citizens across lines of difference and imagine national community. The centrality he and his organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), gave to nature can be seen in the Pan-African flag, the green stripe of which symbolized the “luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland.” But unlike European and European American nationalists, Garvey understood time as cyclical rather than linear, which meant that he saw wilderness not as a national starting place to be preserved in national parks but rather as a repeating phase.Garvey’s understanding of landscape demonstrates the centrality of nature in the formation of national identity, while illustrating the limits of historian Benedict Anderson’s theory that linear time was a universal condition of all nationalisms. Furthermore, the green stripe on Garvey’s Pan-African flagreveals a trenchant Black American environmental critique of European colonialism in Africa and provides further evidence that long before the environmental justice movement of the 1980s, African Americans understood environmental issues and the fight for social justice as intertwined

On the Misuses of Neurodiversity: Critical Approaches and Counter-narratives
No full textThe concept of neurodiversity has gained wide recognition in mainstream society within the past two decades. As it is now increasingly used in education and clinical settings, its original meaning, which comes from grassroots neurodivergent activism, has been skewed. While initially coined to reclaim the cultural and political dimensions of the neurodivergent experience, moving away from pathologization and deficit-based narratives found in widely used clinical texts like the DSM-V, so-called experts have co-opted the term. These medicalizing discourses and regulatory practices stem from the ideology of White supremacy, the settler colonial structure, and a capitalist system that bolsters the productive, neoliberal citizen archetype. Neurodivergent peoples’ bodyminds disrupt this archetype and what it represents in terms of medicalizing discourses that separate ideal citizens from deficient ones. Feeling threatened, professionals—who reinforce this power relation by administering treatment and intervention—adopt harmful strategies, including separating neurodivergence from disability, to reclaim and legitimize their expertise. Our work examines how the concept of neurodiversity is used to mobilize these strategies and how they impact neurodivergent people seeking affirming care, resources, and community. Drawing from social media and other online resources, we use testimonios and storytelling to analyze the for-profit misappropriation and rebranding of neurodivergent liberatory practices. We then juxtapose these with examples of neurodivergent counter-narratives to illustrate creative forms of resilience. To close, we offer recommendations to professionals who intend to address and re-orient these practices toward harm reduction and, eventually, to support collective liberation
