Abstract

Sex-age and seasonal variability of the ventral glands and different stereotypes of scent marking behaviour in four Meriones species (M. unguiculatus, M. meridianus, M. libycus, M. tamariscinus) have been studied in nature and under semi-natural conditions. Two major ways of olfactory marking are considered: by secretion of the ventral glands and by "signal heaps" with urine and feces. Intraspecific and inter-species variability of marking activity is investigated. The ventral glands start to fuction at the period of preparation of a generative system to reproduction. The peak of secretary activity of gland and maximum of two types of marking activity is observed in spring and early summer, i.e. the period of active reproduction. The maximum of two types of the marking activity is observed during this period. In M. tamariscinus and M. meridianus the marking by the ventral gland is prevailing mode of the territory scent marking, while Mongolian gerbils (M. unguiculatus) prefer to use "signal heaps" Libyan gerbils (M. libycus) in this relation take an intermediate position. At the non-productive period a level of marking activity is on 10-20 times lower than at the reproductive season. Besides hormonal, social factors were also important for regulation of marking activity. By influence of these factors the differences in the level of marking activity in high-rank and low-rank individuals and differences in patterns of a spatial distribution of scent marks in individuals of different hierarchical rank is explained. Functional significance of various ways of territory scent marking is discussed

Abstract

Područje Cetinske krajine obuhvaća područje nekadašnje općine Sinj i tri sela u nekadašnjoj općini Knin (Civljane, Kijevo i Cetina). Radi se o regiji koja obuhvaća gornji i srednji tok rijeke Cetine, od izvora pod Dinarom u okolici sela Cetina do njezina ulaska u kanjon ispod Trilja. Ova je regija iznimno velika i obuhvaća površinu od 1.500 kvadratnih kilometara. Nekada je područje pripadalo Cetinskoj županiji,1 koja se spominje već u desetom stoljeću, a kasnije Cetinskoj, tj. Vrličkoj krajini (16. – 18. stoljeće). Na području današnje Cetinske krajine nalaze se dva grada (Vrlika i Sinj), pet općina (Civljane, Hrvace, Otok, Trilj i Dicmo) i 74 naselja. U širem geografskom smislu ovaj teritorij pripada Dalmatinskoj zagori, koja osim Cetinske krajine obuhvaća i Kninsku krajinu, Ravne kotare, Bukovicu, Imotsku krajinu, Vrgoračku krajinu, Drnišku krajinu, Kaštelansku zagoru te zaleđe Trogira, Solina i Šibenika. Okosnicu regije čini rijeka Cetina koja objedinjava niz manjih kraških polja (Cetinsko i Paško polje, Vrličko polje, Hrvatačko polje i Sinjsko polje). Niz manjih potoka s lijeve i s desne strane osnažuju rijeku Cetinu vodom, a viša područja, koja se nalaze na planinama Dinari i Svilaji, uglavnom oskudijevaju vodom. Sa sjeveroistočne strane regija je omeđena planinom Dinarom, a s jugozapada planinom Svilajom. Vrhovi Svilaje i Dinare izdižu se 1.509, odnosno 1.913 metara nad morem. Zbog svog je položaja Cetinska krajina oduvijek bila važna prometna spona priobalja s Bosnom, odnosno s balkanskom unutrašnjošću. Također je taj kraj, preko Knina pa dolinom Une, bio prometna spona priobalja s panonskim područjem, a na jugoistok s neretvanskim krajem i Hercegovinom, odnosno Dubrovnikom. Cetinska se krajina nekada dijelila na dva dijela, na Vrličku i Sinjsku (nekada pravu Cetinsku) krajinu. Vrlička krajina obuhvaćala je planinsko područje koje se nalazi uz sam izvor rijeke Cetine te prvih nekoliko kilometara od Vrlike prema Sinju, gdje je postojalo nekoliko polja koja su potopljena akumulacijskim jezerom Peruća. Od Dabra i Maljkova pa na jugoistok i jug do Trilja i Dicma, prostirala se znatno veća, Cetinska krajina.

Abstract

"Devun CIP blurb The Shape of Sex is a pathbreaking history of "hermaphrodites"-as individuals who allegedly combined or crossed sex or gender binaries were called-from 200-1400 C.E. Ranging widely across premodern European thought and culture, Leah DeVun reveals how and why efforts to define "the human" so often hinged on ideas about hermaphrodites. DeVun examines a host of thinkers-theologians, cartographers, natural philosophers, lawyers, poets, surgeons, and alchemists-who used ideas about hermaphrodites as conceptual tools to order their political, cultural, and natural worlds. She reconstructs the cultural landscape navigated by individuals whose sex or gender did not fit the binary alongside debates about animality, sexuality, race, religion, and human nature. The Shape of Sex charts an embrace of hermaphroditism in early Christianity, its brutal erasure at the turn of the thirteenth century, and a new enthusiasm for hermaphroditic transformations at the dawn of the Renaissance. Along the way, DeVun explores beliefs that Adam and Jesus were hermaphrodites; images of "monstrous races" in encyclopedias, maps, and illuminated manuscripts; justifications for violence against purportedly hermaphroditic outsiders such as Jews and Muslims; and the surgical "correction" of bodies that seemed to flout binary divisions. In a moment when questions about sex, gender, and identity have become incredibly urgent, The Shape of Sex casts new light on a complex and often contradictory past. It shows how premodern thinkers created a system of sex and embodiment that both anticipates and challenges modern beliefs about what it means to be male, female-and human"--
