Dynamic global vegetation models underestimate net CO 2 flux mean and inter-annual variability in dryland ecosystems
Despite their sparse vegetation, dryland regions exert a huge influence over global biogeochemical cycles because they cover more than 40% of the world surface (Schimel 2010 Science 327 418–9). It is thought that drylands dominate the inter-annual variability (IAV) and long-term trend in the global carbon (C) cycle (Poulter et al 2014 Nature 509 600–3, Ahlstrom et al 2015 Science 348 895–9, Zhang et al 2018 Glob. Change Biol . 24 3954–68). Projec…
Subsistence fishing methods of Nicobari tribes using traditional knowledge
Nicobarese are one of the six aboriginal tribes inhabiting Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They account for over 95% of the total tribal population in the islands and majority of them inhabit at Car Nicobar, which is the capital of Nicobar district and popularly called as Coconut Island. The Nicobari tribes are hunters and gatherers who use their indigenous knowledge for exploitation of marine fishery resources using locally available materials. The…
A Generalization of Petersen's Typology of Migration
A typology of migration is presented that extends the one originally developed by William Petersen, which was based on ecological push, migration policy, people's aspirations, and social momentum. The proposed typology considers both the migrant's state of mind and two points in time. Examples of 36 migrant types are provided using data for Canada and selected other countries.

Ethnicity in Canada: Theoretical Perspectives
The authors attempt to provide an integration of theoretical perspectives on ethnic identification persistence and change relations and policies in Canadian society. In addition to chapters on various general topics related to ethnicity a chapter is included that gives a socio-demographic profile of immigration to Canada. (EXCERPT)
Analysis of Ethnic Fertility Differentials through the Consideration of Assimilation
This article reviews the literature on ethnic differences in fertility and presents some pertinent data from a fertility survey in Edmonton Canada. These data allow consideration of ethnic differentials while controlling for assimilation. The analysis concentrates on the particularized ideology hypothesis tested by focusing on the less assimilated members of given ethnic groups. Since the less assimilated could be said to identify more strongly w…

Socio-cultural variations in the applicability of the economic model of fertility
In the economic model of fertility childbearing is regarded as a type of utility maximization in which preferences for children are balanced against available resources and incurred costs. This model is here tested on data from a fertility survey taken in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. It is applied separately to eight ethnic groups in order to test for variations in its applicability. It is found to receive some support in three groups, but to b…

Ethnic Differentia Is in Age at First Marriage, Canada 1961
Estimates of the singulate mean age at first marriage for the different ethnic groups in Canada are provided by employing the Hajnal procedure. While the Japanese males and females are characterized by the highest age at first marriage, the males and females of British origin have the earliest entry into wedlock. Age specific first marriage rates have been presented for the four major ethnic groups in Canada with the help of the Krishnan-Robert m…

Estimates of Age Specific Divorce Rates for Females in the United States, 1960-1969
Age specific divorce rates for the United States as a whole are not available. This paper is an attempt to develop estimates of age specific incidence of divorce for the U.S. female population employing regression analyses. Certain correction factors are suggested to make the estimates built on a world divorce situation basis correspond to the American situation. Results derived in the paper reveal that the divorce curve for U.S. females is L-sha…
Changing Patterns of Remarriage in Canada, 1961-1966
An analysis of gross and net remarriage tables prepared for the widowed and the divorced populations in Canada reveals that the remarriage chances are in favor of males as compared to females. Among the females, the widowed stood better chances of remarriage in comparison to the divorcees. It is deduced that the high incidence of adherence to Catholic teachings and an unfavorable distribution with regard to available partners in the marriage mark…
A note on changes in age at marriage of females and their effect on the birth rate in India
This article provides additional support to Basavarajappas (1968) contention that the decrease in the Indian birthrate will not be appreciable if the minimum age at marriage of females is raised to age 20. A new methodology is suggested which is sufficiently flexible to permit relaxing some of the stronger conditions assumed by Basavarajappa and Belvalgidad (1967). The effect on the Indian female birthrate is worked out under 9 assumptions: 1) th…
Divorce Tables for Females in the United States, 1960
Following the method of construction of current life tables, abridged divorce tables are presented for U.S. females for the year 1960. In the construction of the tables, mortality factor has not been considered. An index of marital disruption has been defined. It is seen that a married female aged 20 had a chance of 29 in 100 of becoming divorced during her lifetime, while her chance of falling a victim to divorce during the child bearing span wa…
