The evidence revealed a group of average Australians who, for a period thirty years ago, were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice. The interviews offered the opportunity to provide context to a difficult history, contributing not only to the study of the conflict, but to a wider Australian public memory in a country whose war stories have had so much impact

	Ungulate browsing as an ecosystem process browser-plant-soil interactions in a southern African savanna / I found evidence that long-term selective browsing may negatively affect soil nutrient pool, at least in the vicinity of palatable woody plants. I proposed this might be due to the drastic reduction of leaf-twig litter mass returned to the soil, which likely decreased decomposer activity and negatively affected N mineralization rates. Hence, the processes responsible for a loss of nutrients in the soil were different from those proposed for northern hemisphere scenarios, which were instead due to decreased litter quality. However, I found evidence of high plant resilience in heavily browsed sites where Acacia stands shown (1) higher leaf N during the main growing season, (2) higher N release from leaf litter, (3) high concentrations of nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4), and (4) similar, or even faster, litter decomposition rates than in lightly browsed sites. Firstly, this suggests that tree pruning triggers and maintains a fast nutrient cycling within the plant-browser system. The accelerating effect is supported by high mass compensatory growth abilities from highly palatable, fast-growing Acacia trees that produce highly decomposable litter. Secondly, browsing may have a long-term decelerating effect on N cycling through quantitative changes in litter production rather than through qualitative changes in litter chemistry. Further studies should better address processes related to soil nutrient cycling to confirm such hypothesis. I discuss how the interactive effects of browsing-grazing-soil fertility may influence nutrient cycling trough different ecological processes

	Unit cohesion and the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy The Department of Defense policy of excluding known homosexuals from military service is partially based on the assumption that homosexual service members pose a threat to the cohesion of a military unit. The assumption is drawn largely from anecdotal evidence suggesting that junior service members would be uncomfortable in an environment that accepted homosexuals. This thesis examines the attitudes and opinions of junior officers to determine various aspects of unit cohesion that may be affected by homosexual service members. A series of seven focus group interviews were conducted with officers attending the Naval Postgraduate School in 1996. Analysis of the focus group interviews indicates that junior officers may be far more tolerant toward differing sexual preferences than is assumed; and that the commission of inappropriate acts, such as fraternization, assault, or sexual harassment, may form a stronger basis for exclusion of personnel than sexual preference. Military leaders intent on achieving and maintaining unit cohesion should reexamine the impact that homosexuals have on unit cohesion

	Use of herbicidal gels on woody weeds / This report covers the final group of a series of trials investigating the use of herbicidal gels to selectively control a range of environmental weeds growing in Department of Conservation (DOC) reserves in the North and South Islands of New Zealand and Stewart Island. These trials were set up in early 2000 and assessed at one and two years after treatment. We have investigated a range of application systems to control juvenile and mature trees of (1) Darwin's barberry (Berberis darwinii) in Stewart Island, (2) cotoneaster (Cotoneaster simonsii) in Southland, and (3) grey willow (Salix cinerea) in wetlands near Lake Taupo. Control methods included: (1) applying gel from a bottle on to cut stems; (2) cutting wedges in tree trunks with a pruning saw or axe and applying gel to the wedge; and (3) drilling holes at intervals around the trunk into which herbicide is injected. In a pilot-scale residue study, involving cut-stem and whole-tree treatments of glyphosate or picloram gel to grey willow growing in static water at the Whangamarino wetlands, traces of residues were detected around treated trees and saplings at two to nine weeks after treatment, but levels of residues decreased to nil by 24 weeks after treatment, except in one instance. This information has been used to develop guidelines for DOC staff on how to use herbicidal gel technologies effectively in the field; these are given in the appendix

	use of sexual orientation-related insults among college students The purpose of this study was: to determine what insults college students know and use; to develop a model of insult use in general, and of sexual orientation-related insult (SOI) use in particular; and, to understand the impact of SOI use on students of different sexual orientations. Data were collected from interview participants, field observations on and around a university campus, top-rated movies and TV shows, and two focus groups with lesbian/gay/bisexual (LGB) students. Overall, the interview participants generated 1,453 insults, a mean of 20 insults. Men listed significantly more SOI's than women. The insult categories rated as "worst" by participants were race-related, SOI's, and insults for women. Field data yielded 317 insults. The three most frequent categories of field insults were for women, personality-related insults, and SOI's (accounting for 14.5% of field insults). Fag was one of the five most frequently overheard insults, and was used significantly more frequently by men than women. None of the recorded SOI uses appeared to be directed to an LGB target. The media data yielded 655 insults, with comedies including significantly more insults than dramas. SOI's accounted for 1.8% of media insults. Decisions regarding both serious and good-natured insult use involved four major components: insulter characteristics, social cues to be read, social cues to be conveyed, and the response of the insult target (and sometimes of an audience). The majority of heterosexual participants identified SOI's as inappropriate to direct towards LGB people, though LGB participants described numerous examples of being maliciously targeted with SOI's. Heterosexual participants who were supportive of LGB people were significantly less likely to use SOI's than participants who were ambivalent or disapproving. Heterosexual men used SOI's with greater frequency than heterosexual women. These men used SOI's primarily as tools of peer pressure and regulating gender role expression in other men. SOI's were a safe way for men with traditional conceptions of masculinity to express affection for each other while asserting heterosexuality; less traditional men were less likely to use SOI's

	Users guide to the Most similar neighbor imputation program version 2 The Most Similar Neighbor (MSN, Moeur and Stage 1995) program is used to impute attributes measured on some sample units to sample units where they are not measured. In forestry applications, forest stands or vegetation polygons are examples of sample units. Attributes from detailed vegetation inventories are imputed to sample units where that information is not measured. MSN performs a canonical correlation analysis between information measured on all units and the detailed inventory data to guide the selection of measurements to impute. This report presents an introductory discussion of Most Similar Neighbor imputation and shows how to run the program. An example taken from a forest inventory application is presented with notes on other applications and experiences using MSN. Technical details of the way MSN works are included. Information on how to get and install the program and on computer system requirements is appended. The MSN Web address is: http://forest.moscowfsl.wsu.edu/gems/msn.html

Wildland fire has the potential to significantly alter the conditions of places. The social impacts of these changes should be accounted for in the early stages of forest planning. It would be useful for managers to work closely with the public to identify special places and how they would like to see them managed. By doing this managers can gain acceptance for new programs

	Using temperature tolerance to predict distribution and overwintering success of lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles complex) on the east coast of the United States Lionfish have been observed at multiple locations along the east coast of the United States, with the majority found between Miami, Florida and North Carolina. The occurrence of lionfish represents one of the first documented invasions of a marine fish species in the western Atlantic. Most lionfish observed along the southeast US shelf have been at depths greater than 35 m, whereas in their native range lionfish inhabit depths from shore to 50 m. One potential limiting factor in the distribution of lionfish on the southeast US continental shelf is winter water temperature. In particular, the northern and inshore distribution of lionfish is predicted to be temperature limited, with Cape Hatteras as the northernmost limit for overwintering. To examine this hypothesis, temperature tolerance studies were conducted following the critical thermal minimum protocol with death as the modified endpoint. Along with temperature at death (CTMin), observations on activity and feeding behavior were recorded. Overall mean CTMin was 9.950C (SD = 0.86) and mean temperature at feeding cessation was 16.070C (SD = 2.14). Rate of temperature decrease and acclimation temperature did not have a significant effect on CTMin or feeding cessation. No fish were observed eating below 130C. When combined with February water temperatures, lionfish thermal tolerance data predicted that lionfish could overwinter on the southeast US continental shelf, with a northern limit of Cape Hatteras and successful inhabitance limited to offshore of the 130C isotherm. Although lionfish can tolerate temperatures lower than 130C, lower temperatures may limit overwintering by controlling feeding behavior. The continental shelf break (200 m isobath) marks the offshore limit for lionfish on the southeast US continental shelf. The current southern limit of the invasion is not bound by temperature, as lionfish could survive but have not yet been reported on the Florida coast south of Miami. Possible reasons for the constrained southern limit may include larval and juvenile transport mechanisms along the Atlantic coast as well as the initial lionfish introduction site

	Utility of historical catch data in setting reference points for the British Columbia shrimp by trawl fishery This paper has been prepared in response to a request from British Columbia shrimp fishery managers to demonstrate the long-term benefits of a science-based assessment, rather than using historical average catches at periods of low levels of fishing. The paper focusses on the utility of historical catch data to set biological reference points for managing the shrimp trawl fishery. It first discusses, in general terms, biological reference point models and the assumptions that need to be met when using historical catch data as an input parameter for reference point models. It then presents information on historical shrimp catch by the shrimp trawl commercial fishery and highlights some of the information constraints. The current assessment framework is briefly reviewed and stock dynamic information is provided, highlighting the large annual fluctuations in shrimp biomass. Finally, the paper demonstrates the shortcomings & pitfalls of abandoning the assessment framework and using only historical catch data to ensure stock conservation of the shrimp stocks along the British Columbia coast

	Variability in and coupling of larval availability and settlement of the mussel Perna perna a spatio-temporal approach / Although the effect of the state of the moon (new or full) was not significant in either study, more settlers seemed to arrive on the shore during new moon. Wind direction did not correlate significantly with settlement. However, the dropping of offshore winds and the prevalence of onshore winds, which are characteristic of summer, may be linked to the start of settlement. Nevertheless, further investigations on tidal or lunar cycles and on the influence of wind on surface currents are required to clarify the effects of moon and wind on settlement

	Variation in inter-territory reproductive success of takahe introduced to predator-free islands / The endangered New Zealand flightless rail the takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri) has been introduced to four island refuges. Takahe have increased in numbers on these islands, but population growth has been slower than expected due to poor hatching and fledging success. Takahe are strongly territorial, and appear to favour specific areas on each island in which to breed. The aim of this study was to compare fledging success among territories on each of the four islands to determine if inter-territorial differences existed. Only Maud Island showed significant variation in fledging success among territories. For Kapiti and Mana Islands, more of the variation in fledging success was explained by differences among pairs than territories. Overall, reproductive success on most territories was low, with only 7 of 23 territories having a mean fledging rate greater than 60%. Because we cannot predict what is likely to be a good territory from one year to the next, we conclude that differences in territory quality of presently utilised nesting areas may not be great enough on any of the islands except Maud to warrant management measures to potentially improve some of these sites
