QUANTITATIVE METHODS DEMONSTRATE THAT ENVIRONMENT ALONE IS AN INSUFFICIENT PREDICTOR OF PRESENT-DAY LANGUAGE DISTRIBUTIONS IN NEW GUINEA.

Quantitative methods demonstrate that environment alone is an insufficient predictor of present-day language distributions in New Guinea.

Environmental parameters constrain the distributions of plant and animal species.A key question is to what extent does environment influence human behavior.Decreasing linguistic diversity from the equator towards the poles suggests that ecological factors influence linguistic geography.However, attempts to quantify the role of environmental factors

Prevalence and Molecular Identification of Nematode and Dipteran Parasites in an Australian Alpine Grasshopper (Kosciuscola tristis).

In alpine Australia, Orthoptera are abundant, dominant herbivores, important prey species, and hosts for parasites and parasitoids.Despite the central role of orthopterans in alpine ecosystems, the impact of parasites on orthopteran populations is under-explored.In Lipstick this study we describe the relationship between parasite prevalence and hos
