No full textLetter addressed to Chief Justice Warren Burger, (ret.), disputing Japanese American participation in military intelligence operations during World War II.The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II

No full textField biologist and January Series guest Margaret Lowman has balanced research and family in rainforest treetops around the world. Lowman, author of It\u27s a Jungle Up There: More Tales from the Treetops, tells host Shirley Hoogstra how her high-reaching adventures grounded her as a mother and advanced forest-canopy research for scientists, indigenous people groups, and the online student community.

Milnesium swansoni Young, Chappell, Miller & Lowman, 2016, sp. nov.
No full textMilnesium swansoni sp. nov. Figure 1, Tables 2–4 Diagnosis. Milnesium without eyes, with a smooth cuticle, with short, narrow buccal tube, and four peribuccal lamellae. Main branch of claw long, without accessory points. Basal thickening wide, basal spurs small but present with a secondary branch configuration of [3 - 3]-[3 - 3]. Description of the holotype. Female Milnesium swansoni, body transparent, length 330 µm (BL pt = 1,430 %), eye spots not found. Cuticle smooth without ornamentation, pores, reticulations, or gibbosities. Mouth with six peribuccal papillae, four peribuccal lamellae and two lateral papillae. Buccal tube short, narrow, and cylindrical; length 23.1 µm, width 9.2 µm (BTW pt = 39.7). Stylet support attachment at 15.5 µm (SSA pt = 67). Pharyngeal bulb elongated, pear-shaped, without apophyses, placoids, or septula. Claws of Milnesium type, main branch separated from secondary branch without accessory points. Secondary branch with base and primary, secondary, and basal spurs [3 - 3]-[3 - 3]. Basal thickening wide. Length of primary branches, secondary branches, basal spurs and the width of basal thickenings are given in Table 2, with all measurements and ranges for paratypes. Individual measurements for all type material is provided in the Supplementary Data. Type location. Collected from between 9 and 12 meters high on 20 th June 2014, by Alexander Young: lichen on bark of a Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) in the Baker University Wetlands (38.91426 N, - 95.22858 W) Douglas County, Kansas, U.S.A. Etymology. The new species is named in honour of Kent Swanson Jr. whose family established the Swanson Family Scholarship, for which author AY was a recipient. Holotype. Deposited at the California Academy of Science, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Slide Collection number: CASIZ- 198191. A question mark indicates a value that could not be accurately measured. An em-dash indicates a value that is not mathematically applicable. Paratypes. Four female and five male for a total of nine paratypes deposited at the California Academy of Science, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Slide Collection numbers: CASIZ- 198192, CASIZ- 198193, CASIZ- 198194, CASIZ- 198195, CASIZ- 198196, CASIZ- 198197, CASIZ- 198198, CASIZ- 198199, CASIZ- 198200 (details in Supplementary Data). Sexual dimorphism. Species exhibits qualitative sexual dimorphism in the structure of claw I. Males exhibit wide, thick secondary claws lacking sub-branches (Table 3 and Supplementary Data). A question mark indicates a value that could not be accurately measured. An em-dash indicates a value that is not mathematically applicable. Eggs. Oval, smooth, deposited in exuvium. Habitat. The new species was found at all nine of the collection sites indicating wide distribution within the region (Table 1). One-hundred specimens were extracted from lichen habitat and 15 specimens from moss habitat on 38 of the 135 trees climbed, representing 15 of the 17 tree species sampled. The new species did not show selection of substrate (tree species) or habitat (moss or lichen). The new species was collected from ground level up to 20 m with 18, 27, 39, and 31 specimens found at levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Milnesium swansoni sp. nov. was found to occur significantly more often at the three upper levels than was expected for its occurrence to be considered uniform with the base level 1 (X 2 = 4.5, 24.5, 9.4 respectively). Thus a preference for upper canopy habitat is suggested. Differential diagnosis. The new species is in the tardigradum group with a smooth cuticle but differs from all species in the group except M. tetralamellatum by having only four peribuccal lamellae. It differs from M. tetralamellatum by its [3 - 3]-[3 - 3] vs [2-3]-[3 - 2] claw configuration. The new species also differs from M. tetralamellatum by not having eyes or claw accessory points, and by having a narrower buccal tube (BTW pt = 40.2 vs BTW pt = 49), and a more posterior stylet support attachment point (SSA pt = 68 vs SSA pt = 64). Additionally, it is distinct among the other Milnesium with four peribuccal lamellae for its combination of BTW and SSA ranges (Figure 2). The new species is easily distinguished from the other species described from North America with four peribuccal lamellae, M. lagniappe, by the smooth cuticle, the claw configuration, the narrower buccal tube and a more anterior attachment point for the stylet support bar (Table 4). Key: pt = trait / buccal tube length * 100, BL = Body Length, BTW—Buccal Tube Width, SSA = Stylet Support Attachment.Published as part of Young, Alexander, Chappell, Benjamin, Miller, William & Lowman, Margaret, 2016, Tardigrades of the Tree Canopy: Milnesium swansoni sp. nov.
