Bees collect polyurethane and polyethylene plastics as novel nest materials
No full textPlastic waste pervades the global landscape. Although adverse impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, there are few observations of behavioral flexibility and adaptation in species, especially insects, to increasingly plastic-rich environments. Here, two species of megachilid bee are described independently using different types of polyurethane and polyethylene plastics in place of natural materials to construct and close brood cells in nests containing successfully emerging brood. The plastics collected by each bee species resembled the natural materials usually sought; Megachile rotundata, which uses cut plant leaves, was found constructing brood cells out of cut pieces of polyethylene-based plastic bags, and Megachile campanulae, which uses plant and tree resins, had brood cells constructed out of a polyurethane-based exterior building sealant. Although perhaps incidentally collected, the novel use of plastics in the nests of bees could reflect ecologically adaptive traits necessary for survival in an increasingly human-dominated environment.We thank Dr. Laurence Packer, Sheila Dumesh, Bahar Salehi and Erik Glemser for comments and discussion for the manuscript. Funding was provided by Dr. Packer’s NSERC Discovery Grant and an NSERC-CGS awarded to the first author. J. S. MacIvor
conceived and implemented the study, found the bee nests and reared the larvae. A. E. Moore analyzed the M. campanulae cells. J. S. MacIvor compiled and wrote the manuscript, A. E. Moore collaborated on the methods. A. E. Moore provided the graphs for the figures. J. S. MacIvor imaged the brood cells. Both authors critically revised the manuscript and approved it for publication. Publication was made possible by the York University Libraries' Open Access Author Fun
Alan Moore Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel
No full textEclectic British author Alan Moore (b. 1953) is one of the most acclaimed and controversial comics writers to emerge since the late 1970s. He has produced a large number of well-regarded comic books and graphic novels while also making occasional forays into music, poetry, performance, and prose. In Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel , Annalisa Di Liddo argues that Moore employs the comics form to dissect the literary canon, the tradition of comics, contemporary society, and our understanding of history. The book considers Moore's narrative strategies and pinpoints the main thematic threads in his works: the subversion of genre and pulp fiction, the interrogation of superhero tropes, the manipulation of space and time, the uses of magic and mythology, the instability of gender and ethnic identity, and the accumulation of imagery to create satire that comments on politics and art history. Examining Moore's use of comics to scrutinize contemporary culture, Di Liddo analyzes his best-known works-- Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, Promethea , and Lost Girls . The study also highlights Moore?s lesser-known output, such as Halo Jones, Skizz , and Big Numbers , and his prose novel Voice of the Fire. Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel reveals Moore to be one of the most significant and distinctly postmodern comics creators of the last quarter-century.Intro -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- CHAPTER 1.

The art of Henry Moore
No full text60 minute film written, directed and produced by Wyver. The film aims to rediscover Moore’s works through a precise visual focus on a wide range of his art. Working with a format
distinct from Illuminations' series theEYE, the film brings together images of Moore’s artwork from throughout his career with the
words of the artist, newly recorded by an actor, which are the only spoken elements. These words are drawn from interviews
with Moore and from his writings. This enables an immediate presentation of the artist’s ideas and, alongside rigorously shot
images of the art, offers insights into his working methods and intentions. The film is intended for a broad general audience
achieved by digital television screenings and gallery presentations as well as by DVD sales internationally.
The film is the most comprehensive presentation of Moore's work on film. In early 2007 it was honoured as "Best Educational
Film" at the Montreal International Festival of Films on Art. The success of its format led to the production, by Wyver, of further
such films, including The Art of Eric Gill and The Art of Francis Bacon.
The film concentrates on Moore’s art and largely eschews the biographical approach adopted by all other films about the artist.
The use throughout of Moore’s words achieves a personal and “subjective” presentation of the artist’s ideas.
The editorial content was reviewed and approved by the Henry Moore Foundation and the film was produced to full broadcast
specifications. All of the more than 400 sculptures and drawings featured in the film were filmed throughout Europe and the USA
by the researcher (working with cameraperson Ian Serfontein) from the original artworks. It was important for the film that no
transparencies were used and that new images were created to present the works in as direct a manner as is feasible
