    No full text
    This brief letter written by Jane Jones of Piqua, Ohio, to Frances Casement indicates that, while Ms. Jones is a temperance supporter, she does not support the suffrage movement and has passed a selection of promotional materials to a colleague at the local chapter of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union who is a suffrage proponent. This item comes from the Frances Jennings Casement Papers, a manuscript collection comprised of letters and association records related to the founding and leadership of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. Casement (1840-1928) was born in Painesville, Ohio, and graduated from Painesville Academy and Willoughby Female Seminary. Her father, Charles Casement, supported abolition and women's suffrage and encouraged Frances to be active in social causes. Frances Casement established the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883, and shortly after became involved in the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, serving as its president from 1885 to 1888

    Letter from Josephine M. (Mrs. J. H.) Ammon of Cleveland to Frances Casement, December 24, 1884. Ammon expresses her thanks to Casement and her fellow suffrage supporters in Painesville, Ohio, for recently hosting Ammon and other women from Cleveland. She discusses an upcoming lecture to take place titled "Should Women Vote?" and explores options to combine efforts in the region with regard to public lectures.

    Mrs. M. B. Haven letter to Frances Casement, September 25, 1884

    Letter from Mrs. Martha (M. B.) Haven of Cleveland, Ohio, to Frances Casement, September 25th, 1884. Haven encloses petitions and requests Casement's assistance in collecting names to protest the decision of Adelbert College to close admission to women. Adelbert College (originally named Western Reserve College) would go on to stop admitting women in 1888; female students were instead enrolled in the College for Women of Western Reserve University, though the two schools continued to cooperate closely for years. After a series of mergers between a number of other schools and colleges, the institution would be known as Case Western Reserve University beginning in 1967.

    Antarctic krill recruitment in the south-west Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean

    No full text
    Antarctic krill are a key component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem and support a variety of predators as well as an expanding commercial fishery. Yet, despite the ecological and economic importance of krill, crucial aspects of their recruitment are not understood. We need greater understanding of these processes in order to predict and model their population dynamics in the light of growing anthropogenic pressures. This thesis identifies three knowledge gaps in krill reproduction and, through mapping, modelling and laboratory experimentation, provides new insights into these research areas. The area of study is the south-west Atlantic sector as it contains the highest densities of krill, key krill spawning grounds and has supported the entire krill fishery since the mid 2000’s. By generating distribution maps of six life stages of Antarctic krill, I identified key hotspots of egg production and nursery areas for larval krill along the Southern Scotia Arc. These maps showed that, although adult krill are widely distributed, the location of eggs, nauplii and metanauplii are mainly restricted to shelf and shelf-slope regions, partitioned spatially from the oceanic distributions of calyptopes and furcilia. By conducting a series of laboratory experiments, I identified the point at which temperature induces hatch failure and nauplii malformations in krill embryos. Hatching success decreased markedly above 3.0 °C, and the percentage of malformed nauplii reached 50 % at 5.0 °C. Furthermore, hatching success was variable and low (mean 27 %) between females. To further understand the whereabouts of spawning at the Antarctic Peninsula, and to test the hypothesis that krill migrate off-shelf to spawn, I conducted a seasonal analysis of adult krill size classes in relation to environmental variables. Contrary to the current paradigm, I found the adult krill population does not migrate on mass to off-shelf waters (>1000 m depth) to spawn their eggs. Instead all length categories of adult krill appear in reliably high concentrations ~ 75 km before the shelf break throughout the spawning season, where temperatures are lower and food availability is higher, potentially increasing growth and spawning potential. This information provides a more holistic view of krill spawning, reproduction and recruitment within the south-west Atlantic sector and provides policy makers with better information on which to base future krill fishery management decisions
