Obituary: Sydney Anderson (1927–2018)

On August 12, 2018, the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) lost one of its giants of the latter half of the 20th century when Sydney Anderson quietly passed away at his home in Birmingham, Alabama, at the age of 91. “Syd,” to his many friends and colleagues, was born on January 11, 1927 in Topeka, Kansas, to Robert Grant and Evelyn Fern (Hunt) Anderson. Anderson began his professional career at the University of Kansas, where for four years (1955–1959) he served as Assistant Curator in charge of mammals in the Museum of Natural History, and Instructor in the Department of Zoology while he was undertaking his Ph.D. degree work. In 1960, he took the position (1960–1964) of Assistant Curator of Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History and progressed through the ranks to Associate Curator (1964–1969) and Curator (1969–1992). The breadth of Anderson’s professional scientific interests can be judged both by his publication record and by the societies that he joined as a life member in addition to the ASM—American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Ornithological Association, and the Southwestern Association of Naturalists (Charter Patron)—as well as the other societies in which he held memberships—AAAS (Fellow, 1963), American Ornithologists Union, American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, Ecological Society of America, Society of Systematic Zoology, Wildlife Society, Sigma Xi, and Phi Sigma Biological Society. Anderson was a prolific researcher and author. Authored titles include The Macdonald Encyclopedia of Mammals (1986) and Mammals of Bolivia: Taxonomy and Distribution (1997), the latter of which was his opus work after years of intense work throughout all of Bolivia

The impact of high access to computers on learning in mathematics, English and science

Researchers at Queen's University, Belfast recently completed a study into the potential of portable ‘laptop' or ‘notebook' computers in schools. Over 235 pupils in nine schools were provided with a personal portable computer for a whole school year. One aspect of the research was to assess the impact which the high access to information technology (IT) had on the pupils' learning. Five experimental/control class groups (with/ without laptops) were matched for age, gender and ability. The performance of these pupils in mathematics, English and science tests was measured before and after the ‘treatment' period and the comparisons were analysed. A number of interesting effects were observed and these indicated, with due recognition of the project constraints, that the impact of high access to computers on learning in mathematics, English and science was at best marginal

Native meadows: eastern Oregon, east of Cascades [2000]

Native meadows produce a significant portion of the hay used for winter feed in eastern Oregon. Without fertilization, an average meadow will yield approximately 1 ton of hay per acre. With proper fertilization, yields often can be increased by 2 to 3 tons, and hay quality such as protein content is improved. Native meadows fall into three broad classifications: (1) Nevada bluegrass, (2) rush-sedge-grass, and (3) rush. Nevada bluegrass meadows respond to applications of nitrogen. Rush-sedge-grass meadows respond to a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Rush (wire grass) meadows usually are flooded for long periods and do not respond to fertilization. Fertilized meadows usually reach optimum hay stage earlier than unfertilized meadows. Quality and protein content of early cut hay is greater than later cut hay.Revised May 1985.

Personal Portable Computers and the Curriculum

First paragraph: Portable computers are, to all intents and purposes, smaller versions of the common ‘desktop' machine. Depending on their configuration, they can be as powerful as desktop machines but they have one major additional attribute. Instead of taking the work to the computer, the lightness and design of portables enables them to be carried to the place of work - to the school desk, to the library, on the field trip... Portable computers, therefore, hold out the promise of putting convenient and personalised computing power not just in pupils' hands but in teachers' hands too
