Broughton, John | Fish remains dominate Barn Owl pellets in northwestern Nevada | The foraging ecology of the Barn Owl (Tytoalba) has been studied extensively, both in the New World (Marti 1988, Castro and Jaksic 1995, Van Vuren and Moore 1998, and others) and the Old World (Glue 1967, Yom-Tov and Wool 1997, and others). Small rodents, insectivores, and small birds are generally ... | Barn Owl pellets; Northwestern Nevada; Fish; Fish remains | 2006 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic relatedness to sisters children has been underestimated | Males of many species help in the care and provisioning of offspring, and these investments often correlate with genetic relatedness. For example, many human males invest in the children of sisters, and this is especially so where men are less likely to share genes with children of wives. Although t... | 2013-01-01 | |

Codding, Brian | Codding, Brian: Living outside the box: An updated perspective on diet breadth and sexual division of labor in the Prearchaic Great Basin [Author's Manuscript] | A tremendous amount has been learned about the Prearchaic (before 9000 BP) Great Basin since we advocated a perspective of sexual division of labor based on Human Behavioral Ecology a decade ago. Many investigators have taken our advice and a few have challenged our assumptions and inferences. One o... | 2014-01-01 | |

Harpending, Henry C.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Culture creates genetic structure in the Caucasus: autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosomal variation in Daghestan | Near the junction of three major continents, the Caucasus region has been an important thoroughfare for human migration. While the Caucasus Mountains have diverted human traffic to the few lowland regions that provide a gateway from north to south between the Caspian and Black Seas, highland populat... | Caucasus; Haplogroups; Autosomal variation; Mitochondrial variation; Y-chromosomal variation; Endogamy; Avar; Dargin; Kubachi; Culture | 2008 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Harpending, Henry C. | Mismatch distributions of mtDNA reveal recent human population expansions | Although many genetic studies of human evolution have tried to make distinctions between the replacement and the multiregional evolution hypotheses, current methods and data have not resolved the issue. However, new advances in nucleotide divergence theory can complement these investigations with a ... | 1994 | |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Patterns of genetic variation in native America | Allele frequencies from seven polymorphic red cell antigen loci (ABO, Rh, MN, S, P, Duffy, and Diego) were examined in 144 Native American populations. Mean genetic distances (Nei's D) and the fixation index FST are approximately equal for the North and South American samples but are reduced in the... | Gene frequencies; Amerinds; Genetic Distance | 1992 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Alyawara plant use and optimal foraging theory | Various authors have remarked on the importance of seeds in the pre-European diet of central Australian Aborigines. The Alyawara, an Arandic-speaking group, were typical in this respect. They collected edible seeds from nearly half the eighty-five plant species in their traditional subsistence inven... | Australia; Aborigines; Foraging; Seeds | 1981 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Why hunter-gatherers work: An ancient version of the problem of public goods | From the abstract: People who hunt and gather for a living share some resources more widely than others. A favored hypothesis to explain the differential sharing is that giving up portions of large, unpredictable resources obligates others to return shares of them later, reducing everyone's variance... | Hunter-gatherer societies; Public goods | 2001-08 |

Broughton, John | Prehistoric human impacts on California birds: evidence from the Emeryville Shellmound Avifauna | The abundance of artiodactyls, marine mammals, waterfowl, seabirds, and other animals in 18th- and 19th-century California astonished early explorers, and the incredible wildlife densities reported in their accounts are routinely taken as analogues for the original or pristine zoological condition. ... | Avifauna; Prehistoric hunting; Biological evaluation of environmental impacts | 2004 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Evolution of time preference by natural selection | This paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal... | Capitalism; Econometric models; Equilibrium | 1994-06 |
