Kara Gust interviews prolific author and poet, retired Michigan State University Professor Hugh B. Fox
No full textProlific author and poet, retired Michigan State University Professor Hugh B. Fox talks about his early family life in Chicago and his writing career. Fox explains how he became acquainted with theater, music, and ballet at a young age and how he was forced into medical school, but later abandoned it to pursue the liberal arts and writing. Fox talks about his many interests including archeology, and his treatise on author and friend Charles Bukowski. Fox is interviewed by Kara Gust for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series

Processes driving male breeding colour and ecomorphological diversification in rainbow skinks: a phylogenetic comparative test
No full textFirst published online in 2009We used a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the importance of ecological shifts in the diversification of both signalling traits and ecomorphological traits in a diverse group of Australian skinks (Carlia). First, we tested whether divergence in male breeding coloration is associated with shifts in habitat openness. Second, we examined whether the type or location of male breeding coloration changes predictably with habitat openness. Third, we tested the ecomorphological predictions that body size should vary in relation to habitat openness and that limb length, toe length and head depth should vary with substrate use. Divergence in male breeding coloration was positively associated with shifts in habitat openness. Our results also indicate that species occupying more open habitats tend to use male sexual signals located on lateral body regions and not necessarily on body regions that are potentially more concealed from aerial predators (e. g. chest and throat). With regard to ecomorphological traits, habitat openness appears to have no predictable influence on body size at the inter-specific level, contrary to expectations based on intra-specific studies. However, consistent with functional predictions, we found that preference for rocky habitats is associated with relatively longer hind limb length, presumably due to selection for greater speed and jumping ability on these substrates. Overall, results of this study support the hypothesis that ecological shifts play a central role in promoting morphological diversification. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.Gaynor Dolman, Devi Stuart-Fo
No. 617 Stuart Ruckman
No full textTranscript (12, 40 pages) of two interviews by Matt Driscoll with Stuart Ruckman on April 9, 2010, and July 7, 2011Ruckman (b. 1966) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stuart shares how his family, particularly his father, played a significant role in introducing him to the outdoors. Some of his initial explorations included a hike to the top of Mount Olympus when he was five years old, backpacking trips in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, and a successful summit attempt on the Grand Teton when he was twelve. Stuart discovered technical rock climbing due to the influence of his older brother Bret, five years Stuart\u27s senior. Bret learned under Dennis Turville, a well-respected Salt Lake climbing instructor. Stuart shares his observations on the Salt Lake climbing community of the late 1970s and 1980s, noting the intimacy of the community, while also pointing out the significant influence of a handful of climbers, including Merrill Bitter, Les Ellison, and Brian Smoot. He briefly describes the proliferation of new-route development in the Wasatch during his first decade in climbing. In collaboration with his brother Bret, Stuart published comprehensive guidebooks on climbing in the Wasatch Mountains. Stuart\u27s contributions as a first-ascensionist and co-author of Rock Climbing the Wasatch Range attest to his lasting impact on Utah climbing. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscol
