Ties that Bind: the repeal movement on 19th century Prince Edward Island
No full textThe article discusses the involvement of residents of Prince Edward Island in the Irish Repeal Movement, which sought to repeal the Act of Union of 1800 between Great Britain and Ireland, focusing on the years 1843 and 1844. It comments on the Loyal National Repeal Association, led by Irish political leader Daniel O'Connell. The author examines immigration to Prince Edward Island from the British Isles, the involvement of various groups in the movement including clergy, women, and non-Irish people, and leaders of the movement within Prince Edward Island, including newspaper editor Edward Whelan
The social organisation and ecology of the Japanese sika deer (Cervus nippon) in Southern England
No full textA variety of field survey techniques, supported by material from culled animals were used to investigate habitat occupation and use, feeding ecology, social structure and behaviour of sika deer in deciduous woodland in Hampshire and amongst coniferous plantations in Dorset. 2. Seasonally changing patterns of habitat occupation were found in the New Forest associated with the seasonally changing nature of the habitat. In Dorset the pattern is seasonally unchanging. 3. The majority of observations were of deer feeding; the choice of habitat coincides not only with feeding requirements, but also shelter. Animals were found lying up for longer and in less exposed sites in the winter. 4. The New Forest deer feed opportunistically and have a varied diet being mainly grazers in the spring and summer and taking coniferous browse in the winter. The diet of the Dorset animals is constant; containing equal and major portions of grass and Calluna. 5. The sex ratio in both areas is four hinds per stag. Fecundity in the New Forest is less than 84%; in Dorset 90%. Calf mortality in Hampshire is 30%. 6. Group size in each forest is affected by vegetation type; smaller groups are found in closed habitats. 7. New Forest stag sightings were plotted and home ranges found to overlap during the rut. No evidence is offered for territorial defence. The structure of the rutting groups seems to be flexible. 8. Severe competition from New Forest ponies is blamed for the lower fecundity and nutritional stress in the Hampshire sika deer.</p

The Environmental Pre-History of Prince Edward Island 1769--1970: A Reconnaissance in Force
No full textAcademic analysis of the historical interaction between humans and the environment has been extremely limited on Prince Edward Island. The following thesis is one of the first studies to utilize Island Studies research methodologies to examine Prince Edward Island as a case study in environmental history. Prince Edward Island's "islandness" plays a significant factor in this history because any environmental changes are amplified by the compression of the limited geographical area of the Island.The main question revolves around how Islanders' attitudes have evolved toward the environment. Before a conscious environmental movement began in the 1970s, Islanders have had concerns over the environment. These early concerns over the environment generally revolved around conserving natural resources that had economic value as opposed to preserving the environment for the sake of nature. However, there were some surprising examples of individuals who were ahead of their time as far as understanding the importance of preserving the environment. Thus, if such awareness toward environmental issues did not emerge in an organized way until the 1970s, this thesis examines changing attitudes over time, to create a "pre-history" of environmental concerns.The thesis is organized chronologically and thematically. The introduction describes the research method, environmental history historiography, the importance of conservation law in environmental history, Island Studies research methods, and the idea of garden and Eden mythologies effecting legislation on islands. Chapter One reviews the impact of the Aboriginal and French impact to the environment, because their limited footprint justifies why the study focuses on the British Colonial and post-Confederation periods. Chapter Two outlines the impact that the British settlement era had on the Island's environment. Chapter Three covers changing environmental attitudes from the post-Confederation period to the Second World War. The final chapter covers postwar environmental impacts until the watershed of the Comprehensive Development Plan in 1970.The thesis examines the evolution of attitudes toward the environment on Prince Edward Island through one major research method: the provincial government's legislative records. The Journals of the Legislative Assembly provided the bulk of the research material because they contain records of the legislation and government reports. Researching environmental related legislation is often the most fundamental research method in environmental history because it can be used to illustrate when and why humans became concerned for regulating and protecting the environment.This thesis adds to the historiography of Prince Edward Island by expanding environmental history scholarship. Aside from geographies, natural history articles, forestry research, and works by Alan MacEachern focusing on National Parks and the Institute of Man and Resources, environmental history has been limited on Prince Edward Island. However, Prince Edward Island has a long history of trying to protect the environment, which was accelerated by "islandness" and limited geographical area. It is hoped that this thesis will add historical perspective to policy makers working on sustainable development in the future.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 50-04, page: 2155
