Ecological energetics of Eudyptes penguins at Marion Island
No full textIncludes bibliographies.Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and Rockhopper Penguins (E. chrysocome) breed sympatrically at Marion Island in the sub-Antarctic, where they account for a substantial proportion of the avian biomass breeding at the island. This thesis documents the energy requirements of the two species during their respective breeding and moulting cycles at the island. Resting metabolic rates, calculated from lowest, stable rates of oxygen consumption over 24 h, averaged 25 % greater than basal metabolic rates predicted from allometric equations. Body temperatures of the penguins and the relationships between metabolic rates and temperature were investigated over a range of -10°C to 25°C. Lower critical temperature of Rockhopper Penguins was between 0°C and 5°C, but that of Macaroni Penguins could not be clearly ascertained. Measured metabolic rates of other species of penguins are reviewed and intra- and inter-specific differences in metabolic rates are discussed. In contrast to most penguins measured, individuals maintained in zoos or held in captivity for long periods had metabolic rates lower than predicted basal levels

Negotiating the real: Culture and fantastical fiction 1843-1973
No full textThis dissertation examines the growth and practice of two distinct reading techniques, with reference to fantastical fiction from і 843 to 1973. While acknowledging that specific reading practices are not exclusive to particular groups or individuals, it is proposed, broadly, that readers fall into two categories: those who tend to be distanced from the text and approach it analytically; those who tend to embrace the text and immerse themselves in its narrative. These two groups, critical readers and experience readers, have their reading habits determined by basic philosophical assumptions. One aim of the dissertation is to explore the link between this division and divisions within the literary hierarchy, articulating a methodology/typology of reading. Criticism of texts in this dissertation involves discussion of the above hypothesis, assessing the value assigned to literary works by each group of reader and considering how the texts themselves investigate the hypothesis. Various theories and critical concepts are engaged with, including those of Marxist aesthetics, psychoanalysis, liberal humanism, cultural studies, and postmodernism. The aim is to demonstrate the practice of both reading techniques and to draw conclusions concerning their respective psychological and social significance. The dissertation argues that fantastical fiction is often a site of interaction between such binary opposites as realism/fantasy, high/popular, ideas/escape, and polemic/amusing. The struggle between these opposites may provide a dialectic of ''critical'" and ''experience" reading
