Wolfinger, Nicholas H. | Trends in the intergenerational transmission of divorce | Numerous researchers have shown that the children of divorce are disproportionately likely to end their own marriages (e.g., Amato 1996; Amato and Booth 1991; Bumpass, Martin, and Sweet 1991; Glenn and Kramer 1987; Kulka and Weingarten 1979; McLanahan and Bumpass 1988; Mueller and Pope 1977; Pope a... | | 1999 |

Francis, John G. | Resourceful responses: the adaptive research university and the drive to market | A major challenge for contemporary public research universities is the need to affirm to the public and to the political community that the quality of higher education found at these largely autonomous institutions is of such import that it should be sustained by both public and private support. Thi... | State Universities; Higher Education; Public institutions | 1999 |

Diamond, Lisa | Sex, dating, passionate friendships, and romance: intimate peer relations among lesbian, gay, and bisexual adolescents | Although the raw number of adolescent romantic and sexual involvements is well documented, the actual experience and meaning of these relationships for adolescents receives little attention. As a result, these relationships are frequently classed together on the basis of surface similarities, despi... | Teenagers; Relationships; Sex; Dating; Romance; Gays; Lesbians; Bisexuals | 1999 |

Jones, Bryan W.; Jones, Christopher R.; Czajkowski, Laura | Familial advanced sleep-phase syndrome: a short-period circadian rhythmvariant in humans | Biological circadian clocks oscillate with an approximately 24-hour period, are ubiquitous, and presumably confer a selective advantage by anticipating the transitions between day and night. The circadian rhythms of sleep, melatonin secretion and body core temperature are thought to be generated by ... | Activity Cycles; Matched-Pair Analysis; Polysomnography | 1999 |

Kowaleski-Jones, Lori | Welfare receipt and family structure: evaluating the effects on children's reading achievement | This paper examines the impact of public and private support system on cognitive outcomes for children born to adolescent mothers. The data for this analysis were drawn from the 1979 to 1988 rounds of the National Longitudinal Surrey of Youth between the ages of six and ten in 1988. The key inputs... | Adolescent mothers; Child development; Public support | 1999 |

Nicoll, Kathleen | Interpreting Martian paleoclimates from valley network morphologies: insights from terrestrial analogues in Egypt | Morphogenetic classification of Martian landforms has provided a context for the inference of surface processes and paleoclimatic conditions on Mars [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The complexity of extensive valley network patterns (Figure 1) suggests that fluvial conditions formerly existed on Mars [7]; howe... | | 1999 |

Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | How women compete | Men are more physically aggressive and more risk-prone than women, but are not necessarily more competitive. New data show the gender difference in competitiveness to be one of kind rather than degree, with women and men competing in different ways and, to some extent, over different objectives, but... | Gender differences, behavior; Competition; Aggression | 1999-06 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Spatial and temporal stability of mtDNA haplogroup frequencies in native North America | Mitochondrial DNA lineage frequencies in prehistoric Aleut, eastern Utah Fremont, Southwestern Anasazi, Pyramid Lake, and Stillwater Marsh skeletal samples from northwest Nevada and the Oneota of western Illinois are compared with those in 41 contemporary aboriginal populations of North America. T... | Mitochondrial DNA; Lineage variation; Haplogroup assignment | 2000 |

Werner, Carol M. | Service-learning "rules" that encourage or discourage long-term service: implications for practice and research | We use research and theory on intrinsic motivation to suggest that some service-learning practices may be counter-productive. Although these practices may encourage student involvement in the short-term, they may reduce interest over the long-term. We pose seven questions about service requirements ... | Community; Choice; Opportunities | 2000 |

Berg, Cynthia A. | Intellectual development in adulthood | As for writing, I still write - at age 72. My experience is that I have to strive harder, tire sooner and come apart at the seams more completely than was the case when I was younger. The aging mind has a bagful of nasty tricks, one of which is to tuck names and words away in crannies where they arc... | Intellectual development | 2000 |

Diener, Marissa L. | Gift from the gods: a Balinese guide to early child rearing | The influence of Western schools and other imports notwithstanding, many child-rearing practices recorded earlier in the century [in Indonesia] are still observable, especially those concerning infants and young children.

Broughton, John | Terminal Pleistocene fish remains from Homestead Cave, Utah, and implications for fish biogeography in the Bonneville Basin | Eleven fish species were identified from Homestead Cave, Utah. The remains, concentrated in the lowest stratum of the deposit, were accumulated by owls between approximately 11,200 and 10,100 14C yr B.P. and likely represent fish associated with the final die-off of the Lake Bonneville fauna.

Broughton, John | Homestead cave Ichthyofauna | Biological evidence on the climatic and hydrographic history of the intermountain region would be much richer, if we had more than the present dribble of paleontological data on the fishes (Hubbs and Miller, 1948, p. 25). In this passage from their landmark synthesis of historical fish biogeograph... | Homestead Cave; Ichthyofauna; Lake Bonneville | 2000 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Pleistocene population X-plosion? | In two recent papers, Kaessmann et al. presented DNA sequence data from the X chromosome (Xq13.3) of 30 chimpanzees and 69 humans (Kaessmann et al. 1999a; Kaessmann et al. 1999b). These data bear on two longstanding questions involving late Pleistocene demographic history: (1) whether the long-term... | | 2000 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Hunting and the evolution of egalitarian societies: lessons from the Hadza | Political hierarchies are common in human societies but absent among many mobile hunter-gatherers. So egalitarian social organizations have been attributed to limits that foraging imposes on wealth accumulation. But male-dominance hierarchies characterize all the great apes, our nearest relatives. ... | | 2000 |
