Transgender Identity in Pre-modern Japan

This paper examines the documented history of transgender identity in pre-modern Japan. Through literary analysis of the Torikaebaya Monogatari and depictions of Kabuki actors and sex workers in woodblock prints, transgender individuals’s place in Japanese society is deconstructed, societal view of LGBTQIA+ individuals during these periods is interpreted, and where trasngender people were most prevalent in society is determined

Population genomics supports speciation with gene flow, not genomic islands of differentiation, in sky-island populations of southwestern white pine

This file contains background, inferences and hypothesis testing results, and conclusions based on demographic modeling analyses conducted on ddRAD-seq SNP data from southwestern white pine (<i>Pinus strobiformis</i>) core and periphery (hybrid zone) lineages, plus limber pine (<i>P. flexilis</i>), presented in the format of a scientific poster. The first author (JCB) recently presented this poster to colleagues at the Evolution 2017 Meeting held from June 23-27 in Portland, OR. Results shown here form the demographic modeling portion of a broader integrative project studying ecological speciation and the influence of hybridization in maintaining species boundaries in the southwestern white pine–limber pine study system using i) species distribution modeling and niche divergence tests, ii) demographic modeling (statistical phylogeography), and iii) Bayesian genomic cline analysis.<br
