Abstract/Description

Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina, possess a venomous spine thought to be useful in defense. Anecdotal evidence as well as observations of stinging incidents in nature illustrate that these fish are reluctant to use the spine when threatened or attacked, and in cases where the spine is used, it is not an effective predator deterrent. Venomous systems have been shown to be metabolically expensive, raising the question of why stingrays invest in a system that is inadequate for defense. This...
Show moreAtlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina, possess a venomous spine thought to be useful in defense. Anecdotal evidence as well as observations of stinging incidents in nature illustrate that these fish are reluctant to use the spine when threatened or attacked, and in cases where the spine is used, it is not an effective predator deterrent. Venomous systems have been shown to be metabolically expensive, raising the question of why stingrays invest in a system that is inadequate for defense. This study determines stingray venom toxicity (LC50) and quantifies metabolic costs associated with the venom delivery system. Acute toxicity tests determined a LC50 value of 0.018 mg protein·g fish-1 with the average protein content of 35.71 mg·mL venom-1. Respirometry determined that approximately 0.000162 kcal·g-1·h-1 are devoted to maintenance of venomous tissues and the spine. Caloric density of spines was measured using ballistic bomb calorimetry. The average number of kilo-calories per gram of spine weight was 0.238. Empirical and observational evidence from laboratory and field studies suggest that the spine may serve key roles in reproductive behavior and in establishing social hierarchies as well as defense.

Abstract/Description

This paper investigates William Strachey's A True Reportory, a stylized eyewitness account of Strachey's 1609-1610 voyage to the Jamestown colony, showing how the text utilizes Vergil's Aeneid to set a precedent for the British colonization of the New World. By using the Aeneid as a resource for A True Reportory, I argue that Strachey is committed to creating a new and active history for Jamestown by connecting the ongoing foundation of Jamestown to that of the Roman Empire, an empire...
Show moreThis paper investigates William Strachey's A True Reportory, a stylized eyewitness account of Strachey's 1609-1610 voyage to the Jamestown colony, showing how the text utilizes Vergil's Aeneid to set a precedent for the British colonization of the New World. By using the Aeneid as a resource for A True Reportory, I argue that Strachey is committed to creating a new and active history for Jamestown by connecting the ongoing foundation of Jamestown to that of the Roman Empire, an empire destined for greatness, in the attempt to align his account with the promotional goals of the Virginia Company. In particular, I will show that Strachey leverages Rome's greatness to induce the British population to take a more active role in the larger North American colonial project, while also using uniquely Roman paradigms of colonialism to legitimize Britain's possession of Jamestown and place the British experience within a known colonial framework.
