Inventory of the ants of Nantucket
No full textReport submitted in fulfillment of a 2007 Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative grant
For summer of 2007, we (Aaron Ellison, Nick Gotelli, Stefan Cover, and Taber Allison) received $1000 from NBI to support our work inventorying the ants of Nantucket. In addition to the field work conducted in July, we also worked with Scott Smyers to identify ants collected in pitfall traps set out in 2004, 2005, and 2006 by Aaron Weed and Mark Mello. Initial results and analysis of this survey, with comparisons of the ant fauna among Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Cape Cod, were presented by Ellison at the NBI meeting on Sept. 22, 2007. This meeting also provided Ellison with an opportunity to talk with Andrew McKenna-Foster, Cheryl Beaton, Aaron Weed, Mark Mello, and Karen Beattie about additional samples of ants available from Nantucket, Tuckernuck, and Muskeget Islands, ants in black-widow spider webs on Tuckernuck, and the impact of ants on nestling terns and plovers

The Ants of Nantucket: Unexpectedly High Biodiversity in an Anthropogenic Landscape
No full textThis first comprehensive assessment of the ant fauna of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts revealed that 43% of New England ant species and 70% of New England ant genera occur on an island occupying only 0.07% of New England’s land area. Ants collected by four different research groups between 2000 and 2009 included 32,158 individual ants (2,911 incidences) from 384 spatially and temporally distinct samples representing 14 different vegetation community types. The majority of the ant species were collected from anthropogenically-derived and maintained sandplain grasslands, sandplain heathlands, and scrub oak shrublands. These three communities are state-ranked S1 community types; the lower state-ranked communities of beaches and sand dunes, bogs, salt marshes, and forest fragments had distinct ant assemblages with much lower species richness. The large number of samples described here, from a wide range of vegetation community types, expands the known list of Nantucket ant species more than three-fold and provides a baseline for future assessment of the effects of ongoing, long-term ecosystem management on Nantucket.Organismic and Evolutionary BiologyVersion of Recor
Uncommon Sense (The Sociological Review Podcast) Season 4, Episode 4: Free Speech, with Aaron Winter
No full textThe Sociological Review Podcast: Uncommon Sense Free Speech, with Aaron Winter Aaron Winter, Rosie Hancock and Alexis Hieu Truong 27th June 2025 About How is the notion of “free speech” abused and misunderstood? What’s wrong with “debate me” culture – and with the value placed on appearing to be “controversial”? And what happens when people who are actually pretty powerful claim they “can’t say anything anymore”? Sociologist Aaron Winter, an expert on racism and the far right, joins Uncommon Sense to discuss all this and more. Showing what sociology has to offer to discussions of “freedom” often found in politics, Aaron describes how “free speech” has been invoked through the decades in North America and Europe, including in the victimisation narratives found in far-right discourse today. Plus, we reflect on the importance of no-platforming, and the need for critical thought when we hear that certain ideas are simply the “voice of the people”. Featuring discussion of Aaron’s work with Aurelien Mondon on “Reactionary Democracy”. Also: celebration of influential American sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of “Racism without Racists”, and the UK band The Specials
