Bringing Service Into Science: Community-Engaged Service-Learning for Undergraduate and Graduate Epidemiology Students
Authors: Ylitalo Kelly R. , Meyer Andrew R.
Published: August 2018

Service-learning is an effective and important teaching pedagogy for public health students that bridges classroom learning with meaningful practice in an effort to meet a community’s needs. Undergraduate and graduate epidemiology courses provide unique opportunities for experiential service-learning in public health education. However, best practices and effective examples for implementing and evaluating such experiences have been limited, leaving instructors seeking guidance. The purpose of this study was to describe the methods for developing and evaluating community-partnered service-learning activities in introductory graduate and undergraduate epidemiology courses. We present qualitative and quantitative findings from student assessment evaluations of three distinct service-learning activities over three separate semesters. Findings suggest that service-learning activities are highly valued by students and often represent their first experiences in population health research and primary data collection. Our findings also indicate that these initial experiences are opportune times for students to learn effective and important lessons for conducting health research as well as meaningfully engaging in their community. For health course instructors, the authors provide a timeline for developing such service-learning projects and describe techniques for overcoming challenges that arise in service-learning activity development and implementation.
The Beholder’s Eyes: Audience Reactions to Organizational Self-claims of Authenticity
Authors: Lehman David W. , Kovács Balázs , Carroll Glenn R.
Published: August 2018

Organizations normally benefit from being perceived as authentic. Yet an ongoing puzzle persists about self-claims of authenticity: although the weight of findings suggests that individuals will devalue organizations touting themselves as authentic, some findings suggest that such self-claims may be rewarded. The authors suggest that this puzzle can be answered, at least partly, by considering two fundamental but different meanings of authenticity. The authors posit that individuals will react negatively when claims concern being true to a category (“type authenticity”), whereas they will react positively when claims concern being true to the organization’s values (“moral authenticity”). A major part of this reasoning involves the emotional reactions evoked by moral claims. In study 1, authenticity claims made in the texts of 1,393 restaurant menus and corresponding ratings of 449,919 online reviews from 2009 to 2016 were analyzed. Study 2 involved an experiment to examine reactions to the two kinds of claims separately. The findings generally support the argument and apparently help explain audience reactions to organizational self-claims about authenticity.
Visualizing Africa’s Educational Gender Gap
Authors: Lopus Sara , Frye Margaret
Published: August 2018

This figure depicts the gendered patterns of educational expansion across Africa. The horizontal axis displays educational access, and vertical lines represent educational gender gaps for 267 country-specific birth cohorts, representing adults born between 1941 and 1992 in 32 African countries. The gaps take on an almond shape. In early stages of educational expansion, boys enter school at higher rates than girls; female enrollment begins to catch up only when at least half of the cohort attends school. Cohorts with the lowest educational access are disproportionately located in West Africa, and most higher-access cohorts are in central and southern Africa. In more than 30 percent of cohorts from central and southern African countries, girls surpass boys in rates of basic educational participation. Africa’s gender inequality is structured not only by regional context and temporal trends but also by a country’s position along the spectrum from scarcity to abundance of educational opportunities.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that is homologous in sequence to the silenced gene and is conserved in a wide range of eukaryotic organisms. The RNAi mechanism has provided unique opportunities in combating honey bee diseases caused by various parasites and pathogens. Nosema ceranae is a microsporidian parasite of European honey bees, Apis mellifera, and has been associated with honey bee colony losses in some regions of the world. Here we explored the possibility of silencing the expression of a N. ceranae putative virulence factor encoding polar tube protein 3 (ptp3) which is involved in host cell invasion as a therapeutic strategy for controlling Nosema parasites in honey bees. Our studies showed that the oral ingestion of a dsRNA corresponding to the sequences of N. ceranae ptp3 could effectively suppress the expression of the ptp3 gene in N. ceranae infected bees and reduce Nosema load. In addition to the knockdown of ptp3 gene expression, ingestion of ptp3-dsRNA also led to improved innate immunity in bees infected with N. ceranae along with an improvement in physiological performance and lifespan compared to untreated control bees. These results strongly suggest that RNAi-based therapeutics hold real promise for the effective treatment of honey bee diseases in the future and warrant further investigation.
Perspectives on topology of the human m1A methylome at single nucleotide resolution
Authors: Xiong Xushen , Li Xiaoyu , Wang Kun , Yi Chengqi
Published: August 2018

N1-methyladenosine was recently reported to be a chemical modification in mRNA. However, while we identified hundreds of m1A sites in the human transcriptome in a previous work, others have detected only nine sites in cytosolic and mitochondrial mRNAs. Herein, we provide additional evidence that hundreds of m1A sites are present in the human transcriptome. Moreover, we show that both the improper bioinformatic tools and the poor quality of sequencing data in a previous study led to the failure in identifying the majority of m1A sites. Our analysis hence provides an explanation of the divergence in the prevalence of this newly discovered mRNA mark.
From Instant History to the Infinite Archive: Digital Archiving, Memory and the Practical Past at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media
Authors: Da Silveira Pedro Telles
Published: August 2018

The September 11 Digital Archive and Hurricane Memory Digital Bank, both developed by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) of George Mason University, are among two of the best known and most successful digital archiving initiatives. Though relatively old by internet standards and no longer receiving new submissions, both present a new understanding of what an archive is and its role regarding memory in contemporary society. Digital archives represent a convergence of social time and computer time, thus speeding the production of memory until it is contemporary of the event itself. This stretches the historical event beyond its limits but also means that the archive is created along with the event – it is an instant archive, so to speak. This contribution ends with a discussion on data accumulation in relation to Hayden White's notion of the practical past.

Three Cases of Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman Disease and Literature Review
Authors: Zhao Xue , Yu Dan , Jin Chunshun
Published: August 2018

Object

To summarize the etiology, pathology, diagnosis, clinical features, and treatment of the rare extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD).

Methods

Clinical data of three cases of extranodal RDD who were admitted to the E. N. T. Department of the second hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively, and the literature was reviewed.

Results

Three cases of extranodal RDD (maxillary sinus, nasal pharyngeal focus, and external auditory meatus) had a low fever and weight loss rather than painless enlarged lymph nodes. Surgical intervention was managed to clarify the diagnosis. All pathological diagnoses were extranodal RDD. Predisone for oral use was given to all patients postoperatively. There was no recurrence in the following 3 months, except case 1 was lost 2 months later.

Conclusions

RDD is a rare idiopathic histiocytic proliferative disorder defined by its unique histopathological features: a proliferation of huge histiocytic cells with emperipolesis and S-100(+), CD1a(-). RDD is characterized clinically by bilateral cervical painless enlarged lymph nodes, while extranodal RDD is rarer and its manifestations varied. A defined therapeutic regimen has not been elucidated. RDD in about 20% of patients is self-limited. Surgical intervention is the main management of treatment, with glucocorticoids used in initial medical therapy. More clinical trials are necessary before drawing conclusions.
Assessment of Bentonite Compatibility with Salinity Using Centrifugation-Based Water Retention
Authors: Fehervari Andras , Gates Will P. , Bouazza Abdelmalek , Shackelford Charles D.
Published: August 2018

A generalized centrifugation-based water retention (CWR) test has been developed to evaluate the chemical compatibility of geosynthetic clay liner bentonites with different inorganic aqueous solutions of various types and ionic strengths of two salts, NaCl and CaCl2, and to serve as a surrogate for the standard swell index (SI) test. The intention of this study is to provide the industry and researchers with a powerful, robust, and accurate method that fulfills the same pre-screening role as the SI test but is more efficient, quantifiable, and reproducible. The steps to optimize the centrifugation-based test are reported and discussed, and the effects of various parameters (e.g., g level, centrifugal duration, ionic strength of inorganic salts, etc.) on the water retention characteristics of bentonite are analyzed and evaluated. In general, water retention of bentonites decreased with increasing salt loads and centrifugal forces. Centrifugal duration (30 min versus 60 min) had little to no effect on the measured CWR values. The CWR strongly correlated with SI for the same samples, enabling predictions of SI of Na-bentonite in weak to strong saline solutions.

Published: August 2018

The detection of joints and discontinuities is of particular importance to the stability of a broad range of geostructures, including slopes and underground and open-pit mines. As a common example, the mechanical response of soft rocks observed within open-pit mines is significantly influenced by the existence of joint networks, resulting in a complex stress distribution that governs the stability factor of safety as well as the failure mechanism. In this article, surface geophysics scanning by ground penetrating radar (GPR) is presented for the detection of vertical joints at one of the largest open-pit coal mines in Australia. The optimum soil velocity, point interval, and antenna frequency for joint detection in Victorian Brown Coal (VBC) are presented in comparison with electromagnetic properties of known organic soils. Furthermore, the performance of an assorted set of post-processing signal filtering techniques to successfully identify the underground coal fractures are detailed, along with obstructions affecting the feasibility of GPR vertical joint discovery in this light organic soft rock.
The Effects of Soil Erosion Characteristics on Critical Filter Design in Embankment Dams
Authors: Soroush Abbas , Shourijeh Piltan Tabatabaie , Fouladi Sina Ramezani
Published: August 2018

The commonly accepted criteria available for a critical filter design are considered independent from soil erodibility and make no reference to soil erosion properties. This treatment investigates the interrelationship between core soil erosion resistance and critical filter substantiation. Erosion characteristics, namely, coefficient of soil erosion, critical shear stress, and erosion rate index, for 17 fine clay/silt core soils are determined via the hole erosion test. Also, the no-erosion boundary filter for each core soil is determined through no erosion filter testing. The results suggest that soils with higher erosion resistance permit coarser no-erosion boundary filters, i.e., higher D15b. Moreover, for soils with similar fines content or near d85 values, a lower erosion resistance would necessitate a smaller D15b/d85.
Experimental Study on Uplift Behavior of Group Anchors in Sand
Authors: Zhang Xin , Liu Jinyuan , Liu Mingliang
Published: August 2018

This article presents an experimental investigation on sand deformation above a group of two plate anchors using a digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The test setup developed for this study includes a test frame with loading and deformation measurement, a computer connected to a high-resolution camera and equipped with DIC software, and a test mold to host scale model anchor plates. A series of physical model tests were conducted under different configurations, including different embedment depths, anchor spacings, and sand densities. Based on the sand displacement fields obtained from DIC, it was found that anchor group efficiency occurs when there is an overlap in soil displacement fields. This overlap is influenced by the combination of embedment depth, sand density, and anchor spacing. There is a critical spacing that defines the spacing at which group anchors act individually. An empirical formula is proposed for the relationship between group efficiency and critical spacing for sand at different density conditions. The formula compares favorably with experimental results published in the literature.

Published: August 2018

Este artigo apresenta resultados da pesquisa “Serviço Social, memória e reconceituação latino-americana: antecedentes e expressões na escola de Porto Alegre – RS”. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise documental do acervo histórico da escola, englobando os currículos, os planos de disciplinas e a categorização de 517 trabalhos de conclusão de curso, no período de 1948 a 1975. A partir dos resultados, verifica-se que a influência do desenvolvimentismo na escola foi impulsionada pela realização de Seminários Internacionais em Porto Alegre na década de 1950, sendo intensificada no início da década de 1960 no quadro da conjuntura política do governo Leonel Brizola. No período que antecede a realização do I Seminário Latino-Americano de 1965, sediado nesta escola, verificam-se duas tendências de renovação profissional, quais sejam: a estrutural-participativa, articulada pelo docente Seno Cornely, marcada pela influência do pensamento cepalino, pela técnica de Seminários na mobilização de comunidades, integrando DC, planejamento e política social no âmbito do Departamento de Assistência Social; e a pedagógico-cultural, vinculada ao movimento de Cultura Popular, articulada pelas docentes Lucia Castillo e Zilah Totta sob a influência da esquerda católica, em articulação com a Secretaria de Cultura, sob a influência intelectual de Ernani Fiori.
Influence of corners in excavations on damage assessment
Authors: Fuentes Raul
Published: August 2018

This paper provides guidance on quantifying the extent of corner effects in excavations and their impact on damage assessment. The corner effects’ extent is of great importance in making early decisions during project planning and preliminary design, particularly in relation to stakeholder engagement and placement of instruments. By using empirical relations, one is able to provide an equation, validated against the literature and additional numerical models, for estimating the extent of corner effects for a particular excavation geometry. Furthermore, two more equations for quantifying the damage of excavations to adjacent structures are presented and validated against two case studies in the literature. The proposed equations are also useful in the context of early stages of project development. Finally, a simple study shows the different effects of corners in sections parallel and perpendicular to a retaining wall. This highlights that corner effects may actually induce additional damage due to the introduction of a movement gradient, as opposed to the common previous perception that assumed that they were always conservative as they reduced absolute movements.
Prevalence Estimates of Polycystic Kidney and Liver Disease by Population Sequencing
Authors: Lanktree Matthew B. , Haghighi Amirreza , Guiard Elsa , Iliuta Ioan-Andrei , Song Xuewen , Harris Peter C. , Paterson Andrew D. , Pei York
Published: August 2018

Background

Estimating the prevalence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is challenging because of age-dependent penetrance and incomplete clinical ascertainment. Early studies estimated the lifetime risk of ADPKD to be about one per 1000 in the general population, whereas recent epidemiologic studies report a point prevalence of three to five cases per 10,000 in the general population.

Methods

To measure the frequency of high-confidence mutations presumed to be causative in ADPKD and autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) and estimate lifetime ADPKD prevalence, we used two large, population sequencing databases, gnomAD (15,496 whole-genome sequences; 123,136 exome sequences) and BRAVO (62,784 whole-genome sequences). We used stringent criteria for defining rare variants in genes involved in ADPKD (PKD1, PKD2), ADPLD (PRKCSH, SEC63, GANAB, ALG8, SEC61B, LRP5), and potential cystic disease modifiers; evaluated variants for quality and annotation; compared variants with data from an ADPKD mutation database; and used bioinformatic tools to predict pathogenicity.

Results

Identification of high-confidence pathogenic mutations in whole-genome sequencing provided a lower boundary for lifetime ADPKD prevalence of 9.3 cases per 10,000 sequenced. Estimates from whole-genome and exome data were similar. Truncating mutations in ADPLD genes and genes of potential relevance as cyst modifiers were found in 20.2 cases and 103.9 cases per 10,000 sequenced, respectively.

Conclusions

Population whole-genome sequencing suggests a higher than expected prevalence of ADPKD-associated mutations. Loss-of-function mutations in ADPLD genes are also more common than expected, suggesting the possibility of unrecognized cases and incomplete penetrance. Substantial rare variation exists in genes with potential for phenotype modification in ADPKD.

Este artigo sistematiza trabalhos e discussões promovidas no Grupo de Discussão de Pesquisa (GDP) - Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental e a Formação de Educadores(as) - Professores(as), no IX EPEA. Dialogamos com estudos de Souza-Santos, Freire e Maturana, e com os estudos críticos da linguagem para compreender como democracia, políticas públicas e práticas educativas foram representadas, discursivamente, nos trabalhos do GDP. Foramanalisados os 28 trabalhos submetidos ao GDP. Entendemos que a pesquisa engajada está presente nas preocupações e motivações dos pesquisadores do GDP. Isso gera cenários empíricos diversos para análise das práticas educativas, em geral provindas de contextos locais. Além disso, observamos nesse GDP que as políticas públicas têm representado uma fonte de problematização, de questões, por sua vez, gerando pautas de novas pesquisas.Realizamos presencialmente um círculo dialógico, nos moldes de Paulo Freire. Nele, o grupo sinalizou para o entendimento dos limites da formação, diante desse quadro atual e, particularmente diante de uma democracia que não nos representa e uma formação institucionalista, imposta de cima para baixo, proposta de uma maneira artificial e dissociada do ambiente a que se destina, desconhecedora do grupo ao qual é proposta, em geral. Ao final, propomos uma agenda de pesquisa para o GDP.
Meat quality, colour stability, lipid and protein oxidation of broilers on diets supplemented with Piper sarmentosum leaves
Authors: Pastsart U. , Pimpa O.
Published: August 2018

A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of Piper sarmentosum leaves (PSL) on meat quality of broilers. The 144 commercial broiler chicks, one day old, were randomly assigned to 5 groups with three replicate cages. The five treatments were: 1) basal feed (8 chicks/cage), 2) basal feed (10 chicks/cage), 3) basal feed supplemented with 1% of PSL (10 chicks/cage), 4) basal feed supplemented with 2% of PSL (10 chicks/cage), and 5) basal feed supplemented with 3% of PSL (10 chicks/cage). The duration of dietary treatments was 42 days. The results showed that the group supplemented with 3% PSL had higher redness, yellowness, and cooking loss than the control group with 10 chickens/cage (P less than 0.05). It was also observed that the 3% PSL treatment gave significantly lower lightness than the 0% and 1% PSL treatments with 10 chickens/cage (P less than 0.05). Overall, the study indicated that PSL might improve chicken meat colour and protect against protein oxidation, but it has no potential in protecting against lipid oxidation in broiler filet.
A violência de gênero constitui uma forma de violação dos direitos humanos
Authors: Bianchini Alice
Published: August 2018

Com a entrada em vigor da Lei Maria da Penha logo surgiram questionamentos acerca da interpretação a ser dada ao art. 6º, o qual prevê que “A violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher constitui uma das formas de violação dos direitos humanos.” A principal insurgência com o conteúdo do artigo antes transcrito foi elaborada por meio dos seguintes questionamentos: a violência contra os homens não seria, também, uma forma de violação de direitos humanos? Por qual motivo não englobar todas as categorias sexuais? A busca a tais respostas é o tema do presente artigo.
A realidade do sistema socioeducativo e a redução da maioridade penal sob a ótica dos direitos fundamentais
Authors: Régis Jonathan Cardoso
Published: August 2018

O presente trabalho visa traçar breve reﬂexão quanto a possibilidade (ou não) da redução da Maioridade Penal sob a ótica da realidade do sistema socioeducativo e, por consequência, quanto a perspectiva dos direitos fundamentais. Acredita-se na ideia da produção de norma legitimada pela sociedade contemporânea em estudar a impossibilidade da redução da Maioridade Penal no Estado brasileiro, iniciando pela contextualização acerca dos direitos fundamentais e da proteção a criança e  ao adolescente. Em seguida, demonstrar sucintamente a realidade brasileira frente ao desenvolvimento socioeconômico e sua inﬂuência ao crescimento de ato infracional por adolescente em conﬂito com a lei. Na sequência, a realidade do sistema socioeducativo e a polêmica discussão quanto a redução da Maioridade Penal, bem como a reﬂexão do que realmente importa: a simples responsabilização do adolescente em conﬂito com a lei ou mecanismos de prevenção.
Da transversão política do jurídico ao flagelo do estado democrático de direito: a incontinente deseficacização dos valores constitucionais, no apogeu dos 70 anos da declaração universal dos direitos humanos
Authors: Miranda José Eduardo de , Lima Andréa Corrêa
Published: August 2018

O alargamento da atuação política do judiciário provoca a desefcacização dos valores constitucionais, afetando a estabilidade democrática no apogeu dos setenta anos da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos. O ideário construído a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988, em busca da consolidação de um Estado Democrático de Direito, desvela o sentimento do período pós-ditatorial em restabelecer uma sociedade livre, justa, igualitária e fraterna, aos moldes preconizados pela DUDH de 1948. O poder soberano do Estado, alicerçado na atuação independente e harmônica dos Poderes Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário, aliado ao restabelecimento de um regime de Direito, demonstra a intenção do constituinte conformar um novo cenário democrático. A preferência pelos desígnios de determinados grupos, em detrimento dos interesses de todos, desvirtua o poder estatal, desajustado em suas funções executivas, legislativas e judiciárias. O judiciário, alma mater na garantia dos direitos fundamentais, como ente integrante do poder político uno do Estado, desnatura-se ante sua preocupação puramente política. Para referendar a análise, utilizou-se da fenomenologia-hermenêutica heideggeriana, assentada na pesquisa bibliográfca e documental.
Building Brand Value and Business Sustainability in Information Technology Based Organizations through Digital Marketing Techniques

Adopting digital marketing techniques for most of the IT based organizations has increasingly become a necessity on their way towards assuring long-term business sustainability. However, not all companies fully realize its importance, and even if they do, sometimes problems arise when implementing these processes poses a series of challenges, from choosing the best combination of tools and strategies for accomplishing a certain goal, and up to running a proper and objective cost-benefit analysis after these techniques have been applied. Quantifying the business benefits and measuring the impact on the brand value level and sustainability growth is another key challenge that most companies active in IT sector are still struggling with. For this reason, a research has been conducted on several small and medium sized IT based organizations with the aim of finding out how applying a combination of digital marketing tools and techniques has led to obtaining a series of business benefits. These benefits are mostly related to an increase in general brand value perception, this being a strong premise for assuring sales growth and long-term sustainability of the business. After analyzing the results, the authors also propose first a simplified and then an extended conceptual model that will help bring about a series of benefits in enhancing overall perceived brand value level upon its implementation and use, thus helping the company to build a strong business sustainability and growth for years to come.
Changing fire regimes and faunal responses: Habitat use by Flammulated Owls after fire in Colorado
Authors: Yanco Scott W. , Linkhart Brian D.
Published: August 2018

Since European settlement, human activities have resulted in fires that have burned the pine forests of western North America at higher severity and over larger areas than previously. On the basis of global climate models and current fuel loading across the West, larger and more severe fires are predicted to become more common in the future. Despite the potentially severe consequences of such fires on landscape structure and function, the effects of altered fire regimes on the behavior and ecology of birds in western forests have been little studied. We sought to determine how the Hayman Fire, which burned the largest area (560 km2) in Colorado history in 2002, affected habitat selection at multiple spatial scales by Flammulated Owls (Psiloscops flammeolus) that recolonized the burned area from 2003 to 2012. We radiotracked five breeding male owls from 2007 to 2012 and quantified their patterns of habitat use at multiple spatial scales. Breeding males established home ranges in habitats containing less area burned at high severity and more area burned at low severity or remaining unburned than was available within the fire’s entire perimeter. Additionally, the size of a home range was positively correlated with the proportion of area burned at high severity, indicating that such areas represent low-quality habitat for the species. The level of burn severity did not appear to be an important factor in the selection of habitats for foraging or day-roosting, indicating that habitat-selection patterns were altered by fire only at the scale of the home range. Our findings suggest that species with life histories highly adapted to ecosystems dependent on fire of low or mixed severity may not be resilient to human-modified fire regimes in which the proportion and patches of forest burned at high severity are larger. As the area burned at high severity increases, more western forests may become unsuitable for occupancy by species that have otherwise evolved with naturally occurring low-severity fire.
Some broad-scale effects of recent and future climate change among migratory birds in Beringia
Authors: Winker Kevin , Gibson Daniel D.
Published: August 2018

Birds from all seven continents come to Beringia to breed in the northern summer. For birds breeding there, Beringia’s position at the head of the Pacific Ocean requires substantial longitudinal (east to west and west to east) movements coming and going. These movements are most apparent to us in continental “crossover” species, Asian taxa breeding in North America and North American birds breeding in Asia. Those individuals reaching range limits in Beringia commonly travel long distances to take advantage of short summers, and many of their range limits are likely caused by time constraints: travel time plus the time required to successfully reproduce and (for most) to molt must fit into the finite constraints of the length of the summer. These constraints become most apparent when a breeding range limit is longitudinally distant from the nearest wintering area, and the most visible examples involve species whose ranges stop before the limit of apparently appropriate habitat. It is these species whose ranges we expect to change most rapidly when even small increases in the time available at high latitudes (i.e., a longer growing season) give them more time to travel farther east or west at these latitudes.
Southward and downslope extensions of breeding ranges of birds in southern California
Authors: Unitt Philip , Hargrove Lori
Published: August 2018

Range changes that appear contrary to predictions based on climate warming deserve examination for any shared factors opposing the general trend. Of the ~273 species of native birds currently or historically nesting regularly in southern California, there is, in the historic record, some level of evidence for a southward or downslope range extension in 52. A few apparent extensions may be illusory, based on more thorough exploration since the mid-20th century, but the great majority represent actual changes. These range from minor, involving only a few pairs at a few localized sites, to extensive, as in the cases of the Western Grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis), Pacific-slope Flycatcher (Empidonax difficilis), American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), Western Bluebird (Sialia mexicana), American Robin (Turdus migratorius), and Orange-crowned Warbler (Oreothlypis celata). Some expansions began as early as the 1930s (American Robin, Orange-crowned Warbler), whereas others, such as that of the Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), have gained momentum only in the 21st century. Roughly half of the species with expanding ranges are associated with coniferous forest or other montane habitats. Some of these expansions may be associated with the increasing density of California’s forests where not burned or logged, but others are by montane species that use shrubby habitats or open forest. Eighteen of the species with expanding ranges are associated with water, capitalizing on the many reservoirs, sewage ponds, and other water bodies created for importation, management, and control of water in southern California. Ten species exploit the urban habitat that now pervades southern California, but most of these have spread in natural or lightly modified habitat as well. We conclude that habitat modifications have been a leading force driving southward and downslope range expansions of birds in southern California.
