Felon Disenfranchisement and Legal Financial Obligations
(2021-07-12)This Dissertation offers an empirical account of felon disenfranchisement and legal financial obligations in the era of mass incarceration. It focuses on the passage of a 2018 ballot initiative, known as Amendment 4, which ... -
Female Adolescent Energy Expenditure in the Gambia
(2013-02-25)Adolescence is a life history transition of individual and evolutionary importance: the body begins to allocate energy available above maintenance costs away from somatic growth and towards reproductive function. This study ... -
The Female Animal: Medical and Biological Views of Woman and Her Role in Nineteenth-Century America
(Organization of American Historians, 1973) -
Female Babies and Risk-Aversion: Causal Evidence From Hospital Wards
(Elsevier BV, 2018-03)Using ultrasound scan data from paediatric hospitals, and the exogenous ‘shock’ of learning the gender of an unborn baby, the paper documents the first causal evidence that offspring gender affects adult risk-aversion. On ... -
Female Behaviour Drives Expression and Evolution of Gustatory Receptors in Butterflies
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Secondary plant compounds are strong deterrents of insect oviposition and feeding, but may also be attractants for specialist herbivores. These insect-plant interactions are mediated by insect gustatory receptors (Grs) and ... -
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Aggression is rare among wild female chimpanzees. However, in the Kanyawara chimpanzee community in Kibale National Park, Uganda, stable use of food-rich core areas is linked to increased reproductive success, suggesting ... -
Female Labor Force Participation: The Origin of Black and White Differences, 1870 and 1880
(Cambridge University Press, 1977)Although white women have only recently entered the work force, their black counterparts have participated throughout American history. Differences between their rates of participation have been recorded only for the ... -
Female Reproductive Synchrony Predicts Skewed Paternity Across Primates
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Recent studies have uncovered remarkable variation in paternity within primate groups. To date, however, we lack a general understanding of the factors that drive variation in paternity skew among primate groups and across ... -
Female Revenge on the Early Modern Stage
(2022-06-06)The outsized influence of Hamlet has caused “revenge tragedy” and male protagonists to dominate critical considerations of retributive violence in early modern drama. Female Revenge on the Early Modern Stage centralizes ... -
Female Rishis and Philosophers in the Veda?
(Asiatica Association, 2009)It is a traditional but common misconception that a considerable number of Ṛgvedic hymns were composed by women. Though female authors and interlocutors are not entirely absent from the Vedas the role of 'literate' women ... -
