Data for: Male bull-headed shrikes use food caches to improve their condition-dependent song performance and pairing success
No full textFood caching is common in many animal species, and is thought to have evolved largely by natural selection. We propose that sexual selection also plays an important role in the evolution of food caching. The sexual trait promotion (STP) hypothesis predicts that if male food caches provide supplemental nutrition allowing males to improve their sexual traits (e.g. song) serving a role in female choice, then sexual selection would act on male food caching. To test this idea, we investigated correlations between the number of caches that males retrieved, male song, and pairing success, in the bull-headed shrike Lanius bucephalus. Our field observations showed that the number of food caches males retrieved was positively correlated with male singing tempo (i.e. the number of notes uttered per second), not with other song characteristics (e.g. repertoire size). It has been reported in the bull-headed shrike that the singing tempo reflects the nutritional condition of the singers, and females choose their mates based on the tempo. Food supplementation experiments showed that males with artificially augmented food caches sang at higher speeds and mated with females earlier than controls; conversely, cache removal experiments showed that males with depleted food caches sang at lower speeds and were more likely to fail to mate than controls. Our results suggest that the food caches of male bull-headed shrikes provide them with supplementary nutrition allowing them to improve a condition-dependent song characteristic, which in turn serves the function of female attraction. We, therefore, conclude that sexual selection is an important evolutionary force acting on male food caching
Adaptive functions of song performance and food caching in sexual selection in the bull-headed shrike Lanius bucephalus
No full textSociety and Individual in the Early Nishida Philosophy
No full textThis study aims on clarifying a relational structure of society and individual in the philosophy of Kitaro Nishida, especially focusing on his early work titled “Society and Individual” (first published in 1922). In Taisho era, when Japan was under crisis of human survivability challenged by political and economic disturbances after the World War, natural disasters and prevailing poverty in transitional democratization and capitalisation, ‘society' became one of the focal topic among scholars. On the other hand, the past criticisms stirred against Nishida before and after the World War II have found a main problem of Nishida philosophy in a scarcity of "process" description between individuality and absolute nothingness in his absolute dialectical logic. This exploration investigates the notion of ‘society' in the early Nishida's philosophy, which depicts society and individual as a fractal structure, accepting plurality of subjects and constant confliction among meanings and wills. Through demarcating the sense of ‘society,' the author attempts to spot a light on the misunderstandings in the past criticisms against Nishida and on his unique perspective of society and individual in the modernizing period of Japan

Penser l’identité et le rapport à l’Autre au Québec, perspectives selon la pensée de Kitaro Nishida
No full textDe la Révolution tranquille jusqu’aux événements de la Commission Bouchard-Taylor, la question des relations interculturelles et interreligieuses au Québec a occupé une large place dans les débats publics. Selon de nombreux auteurs, des rapports particuliers se seraient établis au cours de l’histoire entre des « représentations identitaires » et des « événements » spécifiques à une culture canadienne-française. Cette particularité relationnelle, qui se caractérise sous forme de « liens imaginaires » avec certains « événements historiques », aurait paradoxalement la propriété de provoquer une coupure avec le passé. Cette dynamique des rapports que nous nous représentons au Québec et que nous situons dans une perspective d’interconnexion entre ce qui représente le « nous » et ce qui représente l’Autre renferme une voie intéressante de réflexion sur une autre façon de penser le rapport à l’Autre au Québec.
Aborder cette question en s’inspirant de la pensée de Kitaro Nishida, philosophe japonais du début du XXe siècle dont les œuvres ont été traduites par une auteure, Jacynthe Tremblay, offre une perspective inédite sur la question de l’identité et de sa relation avec le monde qui l’entoure. Nishida a parlé du rapport entre le « je » et le « tu », à partir duquel il est parvenu à montrer en quoi le « je » de la subjectivité moderne (la conscience du « je » qu’il a de lui- même) pose problème pour cette altérité. Il propose de déconstruire cette conscience de soi pour pouvoir envisager une nouvelle conscience de « soi » et de l’« Autre », qui culminera avec la notion de « véritable soi » et ultimement avec un rapport à l’« Autre-absolu » ou le « monde historique». Ces notions intrinsèques sont considérées par Nishida comme fondamentales pour l’existence humaine et essentielles à une harmonie des différences.From the Quiet Revolution to the all-encompassing events of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission, the issue of intercultural and interfaith relations in Quebec still occupies a large part of public debate. Many authors have shown that particular relationships would have settled in the course of history between “representations of identity” and “events” specific to a French-Canadian culture. This relational peculiarity, which is characterized in the form of “imaginary links” with certain “historical events”, would paradoxically have the property of causing a break with its past. This dynamic of relationships that we represent in Quebec and that we situate in a perspective of interconnection between what represents the “we” and what represents the “Other” is an interesting way of thinking about it in another way. To think about the relationship to the “Other” in Quebec. Addressing this question, inspired by the thought of Kitaro Nishida, a Japanese philosopher of the early 20th century, whose works have been translated by an author, Jacynthe Tremblay, offers an unprecedented perspective on the question of identity and its relation with the world around him. Nishida will speak about the relationship between the “I” and the “you” from which he will be able to show how the “I” of modern subjectivity (the consciousness of “I” that he has of himself) is a problem to this otherness. He proposes to deconstruct this self-consciousness to be able to envisage a new consciousness of “self” and of the “Other” which will culminate in the notion of “true self” and ultimately to a relation to the “other-absolute” or the “Historical world”. Intrinsic notions considered according to Nishida, fundamental to human existence and essential for a harmony of differences
