Understanding the historic legacies of empire from the timbers left behind: Towards critical dendroprovenancing in the British North Atlantic

Kirsten Greer, Adam Csank, Kirby Calvert, Margot Maddison‐MacFadyen, more

The Canadian Geographer / Le Géographe canadien > 67 > 1 > 124 - 138

The forests of British North America were integral to Britain's maritime empire. Many of these timbers exist today as wooden beams and flooring at historical dockyards and garrisons such as the Royal Naval Dockyard of Bermuda. In this paper, we investigate what timbers from this Dockyard can tell us about interconnections and empire‐building throughout the North Atlantic region. To do this we drew from approaches of critical physical geography, historical geography, and dendroprovenancing by using timber as a way to interrogate collaboratively the changes in—and connections across—socio‐ecological landscapes. We examined HM Customs records between 1825 and 1850 to determine the flow of timbers to Bermuda. We then sampled timbers from buildings constructed between 1825 and 1853 and analyzed them using isotopic and dendrochronological techniques to establish the probable location of origin of the timber samples. HM Customs records showed that prior to the 1840s, timbers primarily came from British North America, whereas post‐1840 timbers primarily came from the southeastern United States, with some still coming from Europe and British North America. To establish whether timber use by the Royal Navy and Royal Engineers matched the pattern in the customs documents, we looked to the dendrochronological records. Dendrochronologic evidence showed that military construction followed the same pattern, with buildings constructed pre‐1840 using material from British North America and buildings constructed post‐1840 using timbers sourced from the southeastern United States. Finally, using this information we explore some of the connections between regions, in terms of resource use, and the implications of those uses—for example, that the British Admiralty continued to benefit from the practices of slavery through the use of products produced from enslaved labour in other parts of the North Atlantic well after emancipation...

‘It was doing my head in’: Low‐paid multiple employment and zero hours work

Andrew Smith, Jo McBride

British Journal of Industrial Relations > 61 > 1 > 3 - 23

This article explores the lived experiences and working time complexities of low‐paid workers in legitimate multiple employment and zero hours work. Based on detailed qualitative research, these workers have 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 7 different jobs out of necessity due to low‐pay, unpredictable working hours and employment precarity. The research reveals that workers need to be available for (potential)...

Occupational therapy intervention for cancer patients following hospital discharge: How and when should we intervene? A systematic review

Susan Taylor, Sharon Keesing, Amy Wallis, Brooke Russell, more

Australian Occupational Therapy Journal > 68 > 6 > 546 - 562

Introduction Advances in cancer treatment over the last decade have led to increased survival rates. As a result, survivors are living longer with and beyond cancer, often with greater levels of morbidity. Occupational therapists, with their focus on remedial and compensatory strategies to improve function and participation, are well suited to assess and intervene with this population. Despite this,...

Bayesian analyses in phylogenetic palaeontology: interpreting the posterior sample

April M. Wright, Graeme T. Lloyd, Andrew Smith

Palaeontology > 63 > 6 > 997 - 1006

Establishing hypotheses of relationships is a critical prerequisite for any macroevolutionary analysis, but different approaches exist for achieving this goal. Amongst palaeontologists using morphological data the Bayesian approach is increasingly preferred over parsimony, but this shift also alters the way we think about samples of trees. Here we revisit stratigraphic congruence as a comparator between...

Ediacaran macroalgal holdfasts and their evolution: a case study from China

Ye Wang, Yue Wang, Feng Tang, Mingsheng Zhao, more

Palaeontology > 63 > 5 > 821 - 840

A macroalgal holdfast (root‐like structure) anchored or grown into sediments is a key trait of metaphytes and eukaryotic algae. Various patterns and taphonomic variants of congeneric holdfasts are preserved on the bedding planes of black shales of the Ediacaran Wenghui biota in South China. The macroalgal holdfast, which commonly consists of a rhizome, rhizoid and pith (perhaps mechanical tissue),...

An intermediate type of medusa from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation, South China

Xing Wang, Jean Vannier, Xiaoguang Yang, Shin Kubota, more

Palaeontology > 63 > 5 > 775 - 789

The tetraradial or pentaradial fossil embryos and related hatched individuals from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation are of great interest for understanding the early evolution of medusozoans. The phylogenetic and evolutionary significance of their external and internal characters (e.g. manubrium, tentacles, septa and claustra) is still controversial. Here we describe a new pentamerous medusozoan,...

Homology of posterior interray plates in crinoids: a review and new perspectives from phylogenetics, the fossil record and development

William I. Ausich, David F. Wright, Selina R. Cole, George D. Sevastopulo, more

Palaeontology > 63 > 4 > 525 - 545

Despite their importance for understanding phylogeny, character evolution and classification, well‐constrained homology relationships for posterior plating in crinoids have only recently been attempted. Here, we re‐evaluate posterior plate homologies in all major crinoid lineages using development, fossil ontogenies and phylogenetic evidence. Based on these lines of evidence, we change terminology...
