Title A ‘Mitey’ Influence? Life History, Impacts and Distribution of a Gall-inducing Arthropod in a Temperate Forest Canopy

Excerpt Mature forest canopies worldwide sustain an enormous diversity of arthropods, many of which are specialist natural enemies. However, with the exception of species that exhibit massive outbreaks, host-specific canopy arthropods are thought to have relatively little influence on tree health and overall forest productivity. My thesis examines the role of one such arthropod in a […]

Title The Global Rule of Law: Between a State of Nature and a World State

Excerpt Based on the domestic model of law, many assume that the global rule of law requires a world government with a central law-making body, a hierarchical court system, and a supranational system of coercive enforcement. Since there are important problems with the practicality and desirability of a world government, I defend a decentralized conception of […]

Excerpt This thesis examines the process by which innovative new products come to be accepted and adopted in the marketplace. As these products are inherently uncertain and not readily accepted and adopted, market intermediaries play an important role in the validation and subsequent diffusion of innovations. In this thesis I demonstrate that these social processes have […]

Excerpt Aquatic mercury (Hg) contamination caused by industrial Hg emissions, atmospheric transport and deposition to sensitive ecosystems is an ongoing concern in many parts of the world. Boreal ecosystems are particularly sensitive to Hg deposition, and large soil-Hg burdens in these regions may prolong recovery of Hg impacted surface waters for many decades. Four studies were […]
