# Dominique G. Homberger

Dominique G. Homberger (born 10 April 1948) is an Alumni Professor the Louisiana State University, where she taught for 31 years. She is noted for her work on the evolution of complex structures in birds, mammals, and fish, and is also the author of a textbook on vertebrate dissection. A fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Ornithological Union, she served as the President of the International Ornithological Congress 2022, and President of the International Ornithologists' Union from 2018-2022.

## Teaching

In 2016, the Louisiana State University Honors College awarded Homberger the Departmental Alumni Professorship.
In 2010, Dr. Homberger was removed from teaching her biology courses at LSU, where she was a tenured biology professor at the time, presumably for having a strict grading policy. At the same time, a nontenured researcher was fired for criticizing the New Orleans levee system. As a result of these two dismissals, the American Association of University Professors released a report, accusing LSU of violating academic freedom and due process. Cary Nelson, president of the American Association of University Professors, observed that the academic community has always believed that "an instructor has the responsibility for assigning grades", and there was media speculation that this was part of a process of formalizing grade inflation.

## Book

With co-author Warren F. Walker, Homberger has written a standard textbook titled "Vertebrate Dissection". This was first published in 2003 and is now in the ninth edition. Goodreads has a rating of 4.4 out of 5.

# Elizabeth L Kerr

Elizabeth L Kerr was an American ornithologist, who collected hundreds of birds for the American Museum of Natural History bird surveys in Colombia, in the first decades of 20th-century.
Frank Chapman, the organiser of the early 20th-century surveys and the museums curator of birds, used the Mrs. Kerr Collection to help with the distribution of Columbian birds. He relegated Kerr's contribution to a footnote in his The Distribution of Bird-Life in Colombia. A Contribution to a Biological Survey of South America. In 1915 he named the Choco tinamou, Crypturellus kerriae (Chapman, 1915) after her.
A group of female ornithologists surveying Colombian birds, consider Kerr an inspiration for 21st-century female ornithologists. Of the ninety species found by the 2020 expedition, twenty-six species were documented by Kerr.
# Aretas III

Aretas III (/ˈærɪtəs/; Nabataean Aramaic: 𐢊𐢛𐢞𐢞‎ Ḥārītaṯ; Ancient Greek: Αρέτας ‹See RfD› Arétās) was king of the Nabataean kingdom from 87 to 62 BCE. Aretas ascended to the throne upon the death of his brother, Obodas I, in 87 BCE. During his reign, he extended his kingdom to cover what now forms the northern area of Jordan, the south of Syria, and part of Saudi Arabia. Probably the greatest of Aretas' conquests was that of Damascus, which secured his country's place as a serious political power of its time. Nabataea reached its greatest territorial extent under Aretas' leadership.

## Conquest of Damascus

Damascus straddled the primary commercial route from the Mediterranean Sea to India and the Middle East. The city was taken from the loosening grip of the Seleucid Empire in 85 BCE by Aretas, who styled himself as Aretas Philhellen (Philhellen, "friend of the Greeks"). He ordered the mints of Damascus to produce the first silver Nabataean coins, in a Hellenic style and lettering his name in the Greek language instead of Nabataean Aramaic. To further reinforce the new culture of the Nabataeans, Aretas endeavoured to bring architecture of Greek and Roman fashion to the Nabataean capital, Petra, and to new settlements such as Humayma, including a 26.8 km aqueduct. Nabataean rule of Damascus was interrupted in 72 BCE by a successful siege led by the Armenian king Tigranes II. Armenian rule of the city ended in 69 BCE when Tigranes' forces were pulled out to deal with a Roman attack on the Armenian capital, allowing Aretas to re-take the city.

## Hyrcanus and the Judean throne

In 67 BCE, Hyrcanus II ascended to the throne of Judea. Scarcely three months later, his younger brother Aristobulus II incited a rebellion, successfully leading the uprising to overthrow Hyrcanus and take the offices of both King and High Priest. Hyrcanus was confined to Jerusalem, where he would continue to receive revenues of the latter office. However, fearing for his life, he fled to Petra and allied himself with Aretas, who agreed to support Hyrcanus after receiving the promise of having the Arabian towns taken by the Hasmoneans returned to Nabataea by Hyrcanus' chief advisor, Antipater the Idumaean.
Aretas advanced towards Jerusalem at the head of 50,000 men, besieging the city for several months. Eventually, Aristobulus bribed Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, deputy of the Roman general Pompey. Scaurus ordered Aretas to withdraw his army, which then suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Aristobulus on the journey back to Nabatea.
Despite the compliance of Aretas, in 62 BCE Scaurus marched on Petra. However, a combination of the rough terrain and low supplies, obliged Scaurus to seek the aid of Hyrcanus, now High Priest (not king) of Judea, who sent Antipater to barter for peace with Aretas. The siege was lifted in exchange for several hundred talents of silver (to Scaurus himself) and recognition of Roman supremacy over Nabatea. Aretas would retain all Nabataean territory and possessions, becoming a vassal of the Roman Republic.
