Minnetrista, the Frank & Elizabeth"Bessie" Ball Home
No full textThe Ball brothers were single when they moved to Indiana. Three would marry women from New York. Frank married local resident, Elizabeth Brady. Frank’s marriage firmly set them in the town. The last brother married in Indianapolis in 1903. Once married, they planned their homes at Minnetrista, meaning a gathering place by the water, the name chosen for the land and for Frank’s home. They were rooted in Muncie society as gas waned.Use of this image is restricted to projects related to Destination Indiana.

Haigh, Elizabeth I
No full textIf Elizabeth I is on your mind, avoid the unfortunate 1998 film bearing her name and direct your attention to this readable assessment of how she exercised power. Haigh's approach is to explore Gloriana's relationship with the people who orbited around her and to key political institutions, including the official Church, the nobility, her Privy Council, the Court, Parliament, the military, and her subjects. In the process, he reveals the means by which Elizabeth survived as a ruler, especially as a female ruler. We also learn about the woman behind the mask of royalty who concentrated her energies not on analyzing and solving national problems but on surviving. Haigh's is an insightful, sometimes critical study of England's greatest icon since King Arthur

Applications and limitations of spatially-explicit mechanistic models for animal conservation
No full textWe live in a world of human-induced rapid environmental change, where the frequency of extinctions and resulting loss in biodiversity has reached levels associated with a mass extinction event. At the same time, technological developments in computing have facilitated the growth of highly complex, mechanistic models across all scientific fields. The challenge for conservation biologists is then to develop models that can predict how organisms respond to conservation measures and increasing anthropogenic pressures. Here I explore the potential and limitations for conservation applications of spatially-explicit mechanistic models of habitat selection, by developing a simulation applicable to large felids. I demonstrate that initial choice of resolution may bias the parameterisation process of spatially-explicit models, when applied to spatially-explicit empirical data. I use mechanistic models to address two current problems in conservation biology: (a) efficient calculation of movement metrics from telemetry data, tested with a virtual ecology approach; and (b) accounting for interacting influences on populations, quantified with a model that controls for confounding variables. I identify the major caveats to accurately predicting the complex behaviour of large-bodied animals. The spatially-explicit mechanistic models developed here, and applied to real-world problems, demonstrate the potential of these types of simulation for confronting otherwise impossible questions in diverse areas of conservation biology
