An important goal for community ecology is the characterization and prediction of changes in community patterns along environmental gradients. We aimed to identify the major environmental correlates of diatom distribution patterns in boreal running waters. We classified 197 stream sites based on their diatom flora. Direct ordination methods were then used to identify the key environmental deter...

Introduction In anthropology, the primary goal is understanding the human condition, what makes humans human or explaining human variation and change. To critically assess what a given theory has to offer anthropological attempts to understand the human condition requires a detailed understanding of a theory and its components. For some it may seem that there is a contradiction between the goal...

Marc Hauser’s research sits at the interface between evolutionary biology and cognitive neuroscience and is aimed at understanding the processes and consequences of cognitive evolution. Observations and experiments focus on human and nonhuman primates, incorporating methods and theoretical insights from behavioral ecology, infant cognitive development, evolutionary theory, cognitive neuroscienc...

Much of Gregory Bateson's work was misunderstood or unappreciated during his lifetime because it challenged people to think in new ways and defied disciplinary compartments. Textbook anthropology has tended to slot him into ‘functionalism’ or ‘culture and personality studies,' which is far too narrow an assessment of his contribution. Many of his ideas were in fields that were widely separated ...

This paper will examine two ‘ecologies of thought’, which encompass architectural theory, history, pedagogy, and practice. A lineage of ‘scientific’ diagramming originates from scientific management and the Bauhaus-inspired curriculum introduced to Harvard by Walter Gropius; it incorporates diagrams into a problem-solving methodology, and is exemplified by the ‘bubble diagram’. This scientific ...
