When researchers want to study indigenous populations they are dependent upon the highly variable way in which states or territories enumerate, categorise and differentiate indigenous people. In this volume, anthropologists, historians, demographers and sociologists have come together for the first time to examine the historical and contemporary construct of indigenous people in a number of fascinating geographical contexts around the world, including Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and Australia. Using historical and demographical evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies substantially between countries

Cephalopods have been utilised in neuroscience research for more than 100 years particularly because of their phenotypic plasticity, complex and centralised nervous system, tractability for studies of learning and cellular mechanisms of memory (e.g. long-term potentiation) and anatomical features facilitating physiological studies (e.g. squid giant axon and synapse). On 1 January 2013, research using any of the about 700 extant species of "live cephalopods" became regulated within the European Union by Directive 2010/63/EU on the "Protection of Animals used for Scientific Purposes", giving cephalopods the same EU legal protection as previously afforded only to vertebrates. The Directive has a number of implications, particularly for neuroscience research. These include: (1) projects will need justification, authorisation from local competent authorities, and be subject to review including a harm-benefit assessment and adherence to the 3Rs principles (Replacement, Refinement and Reduction). (2) To support project evaluation and compliance with the new EU law, guidelines specific to cephalopods will need to be developed, covering capture, transport, handling, housing, care, maintenance, health monitoring, humane anaesthesia, analgesia and euthanasia. (3) Objective criteria need to be developed to identify signs of pain, suffering, distress and lasting harm particularly in the context of their induction by an experimental procedure. Despite diversity of views existing on some of these topics, this paper reviews the above topics and describes the approaches being taken by the cephalopod research community (represented by the authorship) to produce "guidelines" and the potential contribution of neuroscience research to cephalopod welfare.
In an age of heightened awareness of the threat that western industrialized societies pose to the environment, hunters and gatherers attract particularly strong interest because they occupy the ecological niches that are constantly eroded. Despite the denial of sovereignty, the world's more than 350 million indigenous peoples continue to assert aboriginal title to significant portions of the world's remaining bio-diversity. As a result, conflicts between tribal peoples and nation states are on the increase. Today, many of the societies that gave the field of anthropology its empirical foundations and unique global vision of a diverse and evolving humanity are being destroyed as a result of national economic, political, and military policies. Although quite a sizable body of literature exists on the living conditions of the hunters and gatherers, this volume is unique in that it represents the first extensive east-west scholarly exchange in anthropology since the demise of the USSR. Moreover, it also offers new perspectives from indigenous communities and scholars in an exchange that be termed "south-north" as opposed to " north-north," denoting the predominance of northern Europe and North America in scholarly debate. The main focus of this volume is on the internal dynamics and political strategies of hunting and gathering societies in areas of self-determination and self-representation. More specifically, it examines areas such as warfare and conflict resolution, resistance, identity and the state, demography and ecology, gender and representation, and world view and religion. It raises a large number of major issues of common concerns and therefore makes important reading for all those interested in human rights issues, ethnic conflict, grassroots development and community organization, and environmental topics

Migratory marine species cross political borders and enter the high seas, where the lack of an effective global management framework for biodiversity leaves them vulnerable to threats. Here, we combine 10,108 tracks from 5775 individual birds at 87 sites with data on breeding population sizes to estimate the relative year-round importance of national jurisdictions and high seas areas for 39 species of albatrosses and large petrels. Populations from every country made extensive use of the high seas, indicating the stake each country has in the management of biodiversity in international waters. We quantified the links among national populations of these threatened seabirds and the regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) which regulate fishing in the high seas. This work makes explicit the relative responsibilities that each country and RFMO has for the management of shared biodiversity, providing invaluable information for the conservation and management of migratory species in the marine realm.
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanet NGTS-12b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The host star, NGTS-12, is a V = 12.38 mag star with an effective temperature of T-eff = 5690 +/- 130 K. NGTS-12b orbits with a period of P = 7.53 d, making it the longest period planet discovered to date by the main NGTS survey. We verify the NGTS transit signal with data extracted from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images, and combining the photometry with radial velocity measurements from HARPS and FEROS we determine NGTS-12b to have a mass of 0.208 +/- 0.022 M-J and a radius of 1.048 +/- 0.032 R-J. NGTS-12b sits on the edge of the Neptunian desert when we take the stellar properties into account, highlighting the importance of considering both the planet and star when studying the desert. The long period of NGTS-12b combined with its low density of just 0.223 +/- 0.029 g cm(-3) make it an attractive target for atmospheric characterization through transmission spectroscopy with a Transmission Spectroscopy Metric of 89.4. ; UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/M001962/1 European Southern Observatory under ESO programmes 0104.C-0588 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/L000733/1 ST/P000495/1 ST/P000312/1 1226157 STFC via Ernest Rutherford Fellowships ST/P003850/1 ST/R00384X/1 CONICYT-PFCHA/Doctorado Nacional 21191829 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1161218 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) PB06 MIT's Kavli Institute David and Claudia Harding Foundation in the form of a Winton Exoplanet Fellowship European Research Council (ERC) 681601 European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013)/ERC Grant 320964

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission was designed to find transiting planets around bright, nearby stars. Here, we present the detection and mass measurement of a small, short-period (≈4 days) transiting planet around the bright (V=7.9), solar-type star HD 86226 (TOI-652, TIC 22221375), previously known to host a long-period (∼1600 days) giant planet. HD 86226c (TOI-652.01) has a radius of 2.16±0.08R⊕ and a mass of - 7.25+1.12 1.19 M⊕, based on archival and new radial velocity data. We also update the parameters of the longer-period, not-known-to-transit planet, and find it to be less eccentric and less massive than previously reported. The density of the transiting planet is 3.97 gcm−3, which is low enough to suggest that the planet has at least a small volatile envelope, but the mass fractions of rock, iron, and water are not well-constrained. Given the host star brightness, planet period, and location of the planet near both the "radius gap" and the "hot Neptune desert," HD 86226c is an interesting candidate for transmission spectroscopy to further refine its composition. ; NASA's Science Mission directorate NASA through Hubble Fellowship grant - Space Telescope Science Institute HST-HF2-51399.001 National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) NAS5-26555 18-XRP18_2-0048 CONICYT-PFCHA/Doctorado Nacional, Chile 21140646 European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant 713673 "la Caixa" INPhINIT Fellowship grant LCF/BQ/IN17/11620033 European Research Council (ERC) 724427 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1161218 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) Basal AFB-170002 Spanish Ministry of Economics and Competitiveness PGC2018-098153-B-C31 Heising-Simons Foundation Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) European Commission 200020_172746 National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA)

We report the period, eccentricity, and mass determination for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) single-transit event candidate TOI-222, which displayed a single 3000 ppm transit in the TESS 2-min cadence data from Sector 2. We determine the orbital period via radial velocity measurements (P = 33.9 d), which allowed for ground-based photometric detection of two subsequent transits. Our data show that the companion to TOI-222 is a low-mass star, with a radius of 0.18(-0.10)(+0.39) R-circle dot and a mass of 0.23 +/- 0.01 M-circle dot. This discovery showcases the ability to efficiently discover long-period systems from TESS single-transit events using a combination of radial velocity monitoring coupled with high-precision ground-based photometry. ; Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Geneva University Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/M001962/1 ST/S002642/1 Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/L000733/1 ST/P000495/1 ST/N000757/1 ST/P000312/1 1226157 STFC via an Ernest Rutherford Fellowship ST/R00384X/1 MIT's Kavli Institute Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) 859724 Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica (CONICYT) PB06 CONICYT-PFCHA, Chile 21191829 Millennium Institute of Astrophysics (MAS) Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1161218 3180246 1171208 Ministry for the Economy, Development, and Tourism's Programa Iniciativa Científica Milenio IC120009 European Research Council (ERC) 681601 ERC under the European Union 320964 Australian Research Council LE160100001 DP180100972 Mount Cuba Astronomical Foundation University of Texas at Austin UNSW Australia MIT Nanjing University George Mason University University of Louisville University of California System University of Florida NASA's Science Mission directorate University of Southern Queensland
