  • Dam That River! Ecology and Mormon Settlement in the Little Colorado River Basin

    Susan H Lee, Susan H Lees et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of the Royal Anthropologica…•1995

  • Ecology, Resource Redistribution, and Mormon Settlement in Northeastern Arizona

    Open Access•William S Abruzzi•ARTICLE•American Anthropologist•1989•Cited by: 8•References: 6

    Successful Mormon colonization of the American West has largely been attributed to the adaptive advantage of cooperative Mormon values. This article shows that successful Mormon colonization of the Little Colorado River Basin had an ultimate ecological basis: the redistribution of surplus resources among settlements situated in dispersed and functionally independent local environments. Two systems of resource redistribution among 19th-century Lit…

  • Ecological Theory and Ethnic Differentiation Among Human Populations [and Comments and Replies]

    William S Abruzzi, Judith K Brown et al.•ARTICLE•Current Anthropology•1982•Cited by: 20

    The formation and maintenance of distinct ethnic populations within multiethnic communities is proposed to be functionally equivalent to the process of species diversification in multispecies communities. This paper suggests that while these processes operate through different selective mechanisms-one social and the other genetic-ethnic boundaries, like species boundaries, function to regulate the behavior of potentially competing populations in …

  • Bovine Sex and Species Ratios in India [and Comments and Reply]

    A Vaidyanathan, K Narayanan Nair et al.•ARTICLE•Current Anthropology•1982•References: 4

    Despite religious sanctions against the slaughter of cattle, bovine age, sex, and species ratios in all India and Kerala are systematically adjusted to demographic, technological, economic, and environmental conditions. While it is not denied that the apotheosis of cattle has influenced the management of India's bovine stocks, religious beliefs cannot account for the most important regional and local variations in the utilization of these animals
