Complete Data and Analysis for: Effects of seed traits and dormancy break treatments on germination of four aquatic plant species
No full textThere are two data files--one for germination and one for viability--each comprising a set of seeds (each row is a seed) with measured traits, the treatments to which they were subjected (germination only) and their germination date or viability assessment. Germination trial data from the chamber and seed photos referenced in the datasets are also included. The script included will read these files into R and conduct the analyses included in the companion manuscript.This repository contains the raw data and code necessary to conduct the analyses in the companion paper.This research was supported by: the Minnesota Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (M.V., D.L.); the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program at the University of Minnesota (J.B.); the National Science Foundation (M.V., Graduate Research Fellowship Program [Grant No. CON-75851, project 00074041]); and the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station (D.L.).

Larkin\u27s Toads
No full textThe article discusses the poem Toads by Philip Larkin and argues that it reveals a deep fear of change in the poet. Critical reaction to the poem is examined, and Larkin\u27s use of syntax and rhetoric is explored. The author\u27s assertion that Larkin\u27s fear of change was related to his political conservatism is also touched on
Poetry for the city? Philip Larkin and Others
No full textPhilip Larkin will surely feature in our year as City of Culture in 2017 as the most famous and popular writer in modern times to dwell in and write about Hull. His poetry and that of others like him who have by turns celebrated and criticised the city’s qualities will be taken as the basis to revive the suggestion that Hull is a ‘poetic’ place. This session will look at what Larkin and others actually have to say about Hull and ask how people today engage with these poems and the ideas they contain. Dr Daniel Weston is Lecturer in Twentieth-Century English Literature at the University of Hull. He has research interests in a broad span of twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry, fiction and non-fiction prose. He is currently working on a study of contemporary poetry addressing issues of environment and ecology. James Underwood is a PhD candidate and part-time tutor in the Department of English, University of Hull. His research, funded by a University scholarship, focuses on identity in the work of Philip Larkin

Data and analysis supporting: Quantifying aquatic plant commonness and cooccurrence across scales to support ecological understanding and management
No full textData and R code necessary to reproduce the results of the publication. This DRUM submission includes a Quarto document for reproducing the analyses, a PDF markdown document that was generated from the Quarto file, and 11 files (10 .rds, 1 .csv) with the underlying data.
Note that 11 of the species in the dataset are protected species in Minnesota, for which locality information is required to be anonymized. These have been renamed “protected_spp1”, “protected_spp2”, etc. in data files denoted with the suffix “_anon”. The actual species names are used in the manuscript where applicable. This introduces some subtle differences in outputs from this repository relative to the results shown in the manuscript.These data and R statistical code support the publication, "Quantifying aquatic plant commonness and cooccurrence across scales to support ecological understanding and management," in Journal of Ecology. We analyzed aquatic plant surveys from 1,658 lakes across Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA, collected over two decades (2000-2022) and encompassing nearly one million sampling points. These data were collected by agency staff, consultants, researchers, and others who performed the thousands of aquatic plant surveys that enabled this work. For 106 focal taxa, we quantified commonness as occupancy (at regional and local scales) and cooccurrence as diversity fields (the mean species richness of lakes or sampling locations where each focal species occurred). We used statistical models that incorporated environmental, spatial, and temporal covariates to correct for biased sampling and isolate community processes from other influential factors, and leveraged the temporal span of the data to investigate interannual variability in commonness and cooccurrence.Funder: Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC)Funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).Minnesota Agricultural Experiment StationMidwest Glacial Lakes PartnershipLarkin, Daniel J; Verhoeven, Michael R; Walsh, Jake R; Johnson, James A.

The China firm: American elites and the making of British Colonial society
No full textWhat roles did Americans play in the expanding global empires of the nineteenth century? Thomas M. Larkin examines the Hong Kong–based Augustine Heard & Company, the most prominent American trading firm in treaty-port China, to explore the ways American elites at once made and were made by British colonial society. Following the Heard brothers throughout their firm’s rise and decline, The China Firm reveals how nineteenth-century China’s American elite adapted to colonial culture, helped entrench social and racial hierarchies, and exploited the British imperial project for their own profit as they became increasingly invested in its political affairs and commercial networks.
Through the central narrative of Augustine Heard & Co., Larkin disentangles the ties that bound the United States to China and the British Empire in the nineteenth century. Drawing on a vast range of archival material from Hong Kong, China, Boston, and London, he weaves the local and the global together to trace how Americans gained acceptance into and contributed to the making of colonial societies and world-spanning empires. Uncovering the transimperial lives of these American traders and the complex ways extraimperial communities interacted with British colonialism, The China Firm makes a vital contribution to global histories of nineteenth-century Asia and provides an alternative narrative of British empire

Complete data and code to generate datasets in: Occurrence and environmental data for aquatic plants of Minnesota from 1999-2018
No full textThis repository contains the code and input output data needed to generate the datasets (also included here as output data) presented in the companion manuscript. An .html format report is included which show the detailed process that was followed to generate the dataset but does not require a user to run R scripts to view.A dataset (and multi-scale aggregations thereof) of point-level occurrences, relative abundances, and associated environmental data for macrophytes (freshwater plants) across Minnesota. The data encompass 3,194 surveys of 1,520 lakes and ponds performed over a 19-year timespan. A total of 372,091 points were sampled, across which 231 taxa were recorded. Macrophyte occurrence data and depth, as well as point-level relative-plant-abundance measures for a subset of surveys, were collated, cleaned, and joined to geospatial data and Secchi-depth measurements of water clarity, enabling light availability, a primary control on aquatic plant growth, to be estimated.Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR)USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment StationMidwestern Aquatic Plant Management Society through the Robert L.
