To accomplish its mission, the Center conducts basic and applied research to determine the biological and environmental factors that influence development and provides training and service programs that directly benefit people with developmental disabilities and their families
Miss Bell Shriver portrait
No full textThis portrait of a seated woman wearing a tie and holding a handkerchief in her lap was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Written on the negative is the name Miss Bell Shriver. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in the region of southeastern Ohio and central West Virginia.
Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio History Center

The role of neuroscience in precise, precautionary, and probabilistic accounts of sentience
No full textGiven that there is currently no consensus as to exactly which animals are sentient, how should we make moral decisions when we are uncertain as to which of the animals influenced by that decision are sentient? And how relevant is evidence from the neurosciences for making these decisions? In this chapter, I outline three different approaches toward incorporating uncertainty about sentience into moral decision-making: what I call precise, precautionary, and probabilistic approaches to sentience. I suggest that neuroscientific evidence has different relevance for each of these accounts. Precautionary approaches should be adopted to provide basic protections for animals even when we are uncertain about their sentience, but probabilistic accounts are more relevant for decisions where we need to carefully weigh positive and negative consequences of different possible decisions. Precise accounts can be useful for providing guidance but are not directly relevant for making decisions or guiding policy

Genotype-environment associations support a mosaic hybrid zone between two tidal marsh birds
No full textPublisher's PDF.Local environmental features can shape hybrid zone dynamics when hybrids are
bounded by ecotones or when patchily distributed habitat types lead to a
corresponding mosaic of genotypes. We investigated the role of marsh-level
characteristics in shaping a hybrid zone between two recently diverged avian
taxa – Saltmarsh (Ammodramus caudacutus) and Nelson’s (A. nelsoni) sparrows.
These species occupy different niches where allopatric, with caudacutus
restricted to coastal marshes and nelsoni found in a broader array of wetland
and grassland habitats and co-occur in tidal marshes in sympatry. We determined
the influence of habitat types on the distribution of pure and hybrid
sparrows and assessed the degree of overlap in the ecological niche of each
taxon. To do this, we sampled and genotyped 305 sparrows from 34 marshes
across the hybrid zone and from adjacent regions. We used linear regression to
test for associations between marsh characteristics and the distribution of pure
and admixed sparrows. We found a positive correlation between genotype and
environmental variables with a patchy distribution of genotypes and habitats
across the hybrid zone. Ecological niche models suggest that the hybrid niche
was more similar to that of A. nelsoni and habitat suitability was influenced
strongly by distance from coastline. Our results support a mosaic model of
hybrid zone maintenance, suggesting a role for local environmental features in
shaping the distribution and frequency of pure species and hybrids across space.University of Delaware. Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology
