Matthew Sharpe and Michael Ure, "Philosophy as a Way of Life: History, Dimensions, Directions."

Discovery of a large population of the rare and poorly known carabid beetle Cicindis horni Bruch on the Salinas Grandes of C rdoba Province, Argentina provided an opportunity to record aspects of its behavior and life history, and to test several hypotheses previously made about it way of life. This highly unusual species was known in the literature from the description of only two museum specimens and its phylogenetic relationships ambiguous. Adults spend the night in search of food or mates swimming on the water surface of alkaline water bodies. Mid-tibial natatorial setae, tarsal setal fringes, ventral vestiture, and genal/pronotal planing surfaces plus decumbent and very sharply pointed mandibles are specific adaptations that permit adults of this species to behave as swimming superspecialist predators. Therefore, there have been four independent invasions of the aquatic habitat by adephagan Coleoptera. Populations of C. horni Bruch are probably limited by the extent of the great salt flats of Argentina (550,000 hectares) located in north-central Argentina and are further limited edaphically within the overall geographic range.

The Village

The article analyses traditions and legends of the village of Kubachi, Dakhadaevsky district, Republic of Dagestan, recorded by the outstanding Caucasian scholar of the 20th century, ethnographer E. M. Shilling during folklore expeditions in Dagestan and published in his famous book «Kubachins and their culture. Historical and ethnographic studies» (Moscow; Leningrad, 1949). The cycle of traditions about the Kubachi and the Kubachins in the records of E. M. Shilling is an invaluable source of specific data related to the past of the people, connected with the life, history, way of life, customs and psychology of the Kubachins. In some cases, traditions and legends are informative; they provide information about the origin of the Kubachins, their numbers, the territories they occupied in the past, the wars they waged with their neighbors, etc.

Behavioral Features

Abstract Life History Theory (LHT) predicts a monotonous relationship between affluence and the rate of innovations and strong correlations within a cluster of behavioral features. Although both predictions can be true in specific cases, they are incorrect in general. Therefore, the author's explanations may be right, but they do not prove LHT and cannot be generalized to other apparently similar processes.
