Reproductive cooperation between queens and their mated workers: the complex life history of an ant with a valuable nest.

The life history of Harpegnathos saltator is exceptional among ants because both queens and workers reproduce sexually. Recently mated queens start new colonies alone, but later some of the offspring workers also become inseminated and take over the egg-laying role. This alternation seems associated with the existence of very complex underground nests, which are designed to survive floods. Longevity of ponerine queens is low (a consequence of limited caste dimorphism in this "primitive" subfamily), and upon the death of an H. saltator foundress, the nest represents a substantial investment. The queen's progeny should thus be strongly selected to retain the valuable nests. Unlike the flying queens, the workers copulate with males from their own colonies, and, thus, their offspring are expected to be highly related to the foundress. Colony fission appears not to occur because a daughter fragment would lack an adequate nest for protection. Thus, the annual production of queens in colonies with reproductive workers remains essential for the establishment of new colonies. This contrasts with various other ponerine species in which the queens no longer exist.

Brief of Amici Curiae Scholars of the Constitutional Rights of Children in Support of Petitioners in Obergefell v. Hodges

Supreme Court precedent establishes that the government may not punish children for matters beyond their control. Same-sex marriage bans and non-recognition laws (“marriage bans”) do precisely this. The states argue that marriage is good for children, yet marriage bans categorically exclude an entire class of children – children of same-sex couples – from the legal, economic and social benefits of marriage. This amicus brief recounts a powerful body of equal protection jurisprudence that prohibits punishing children to reflect moral disapproval of parental conduct or to incentivize adult behavior. We then explain that marriage bans punish children of same-sex couples because they: 1) foreclose their central legal route to family formation; 2) categorically void their existing legal parent-child relationships incident to out-of-state marriages; 3) deny them economic rights and benefits; and 4) inflict psychological and stigmatic harm. States cannot justify marriage bans as good for children and then exclude children of same-sex couples based on moral disapproval of their same-sex parents’ relationships or to incentivize opposite-sex couples to “procreate” within the bounds of marriage. To do so, severs the connection between legal burdens and individual responsibility and creates a permanent class or caste distinction.

Women Of India: Developmental setbacks of gender inequity

This project examines rural Indian women and discusses the strong correlation between gender inequity and the setbacks that have crippled development. The embedded caste system has created a distinct social hierarchy, which has incidentally deprived women of their freedom and voice. Gender inequity and social stratification are direct causes of the AIDS epidemic, research revealing a contingency between lack of empowerment and exposure to the disease. Additionally, the HIV/AIDS virus carries a strong cultural stigma, which influences whether or not women will seek treatment if infected, since AIDS victims face extreme social isolation and discrimination, in India. This project discusses several cause-and-effect frameworks related to gender inequity, which have stunted the growth and success of India.

Las minas de Guelaya y la Guerra del Rif

En el archivo del Quaid’Orsay de París he podido consultar la correspondencia que entre 1907 y 1909 mantuvieron el embajador francés en Madrid y su ministro de Asuntos Exteriores. Aunque existe bibliografía sobre los acontecimientos que condujeron a la campaña de 1909, la documentación de las cajas 88-95 (Affaires duRif) de la Correspondance politique et militaire posee una doble virtud: detalla esos acontecimientos y contribuye a esclarecer varios temas polémicos, razón por la que preparo un trabajo basado en esa correspondencia. Esta nota de investigación adelanta algunas de sus conclusiones. La he dividido en dos partes. En la primera, relato los sucesos que originaron la guerra y en la segunda utilizo la documentación para tratar dos temas controvertidos: el problema de las minas como desencadenante de la contienda y el papel que Alfonso XIII jugó en ella. La limitación de espacio que exige una nota de investigación me ha obligado a “comprimir” la primera parte y por la misma razón no he incluido notas a pie de página citando los documentos de donde proviene la información.
