In this paper, we explore the role of reciprocity in the employment of restrictive measures in contexts of contagion. Reciprocity
should be understood as a substantive value that governs the use, level and extent of restrictive measures. We also argue
that independent of the role reciprocity plays in the legitimisation the use of restrictive measures, reciprocity can also
motivate support and compliance with legitimate restrictive measures. The importance of reciprocity has implications for how
restrictive measures should be undertaken when preparing and evaluating public health responses to contagion.

Jablonka and Lamb's claim that evolutionary biology is undergoing a ‘revolution’ is queried. But the very concept of revolutionary
change has uncertain application to a field organized in the manner of contemporary biology. The explanatory primacy of sequence
properties is also discussed.

Debates over adaptationism can be clarified and partially resolved by careful consideration of the ‘grain’ at which evolutionary
processes are described. The framework of ‘adaptive landscapes’ can be used to illustrate and facilitate this investigation.
We argue that natural selection may have special status at an intermediate grain of analysis of evolutionary processes. The
cases of sickle-cell disease and genomic imprinting are used as case studies.

The discussion of the adaptive landscape in the philosophical literature appears to be divided along the following lines.
On the one hand, some claim that the adaptive landscape is either “uninterpretable” or incoherent. On the other hand, some
argue that the adaptive landscape has been an important heuristic, or tool in the service of explaining, as well as proposing
and testing hypotheses about evolutionary change. This paper attempts to reconcile these two views.

This paper discusses the persistent devaluation of the girl child in India and the link between the entrenched perception
of female valuelessness and the actual practice of infanticide of girl babies or foetuses. It seeks to place female infanticide,
or ‘gendercide,’ within the context of Western-derived conceptions of ethics, justice and rights. To date, current ethical
theories and internationally purveyed moral frameworks, as well as legal and political declarations, have fallen short of
an adequate moral appraisal of infanticide. This paper seeks to rethink the issue.

Sub-Antarctic Marion Island has had a permanent research station for 50 years and the islands Wandering Albatrosses have been intensively studied for 20 years. The reactions of breeding birds to approaches by a human on foot were recorded. Three response variables were calculated: intensity of vocal reaction (IVR), intensity of non-vocal reaction (INR) and overall response index (ORI). At 5 m from the nest, twice as many birds stood and/or vocalised as at 15 m. Nearest neighbour distance, age and gender did not explain individual variability of responses. Study colony birds had higher IVR scores than non-study colony birds; birds at colonies closest to the station had the highest ORI scores. A better breeding record was associated with lower IVR and ORI scores, but a causative relationship remains to be demonstrated. A minimum viewing distance of 25 m is recommended for breeding Wandering Albatrosses.

In this paper, I examine the mastery of mothering skills and satisfaction with associated health services in women who had
recently given birth in Montreal (n = 33). I compare experience between women of two distinct ethnocultural groups: Anglophone Euro-Canadian and Anglophone Afro-Caribbean.
The overall aim is to discern differentials in the mastery of mothering skills and associated satisfaction with maternal and
child health services. The study is framed by neo-Weberian social theory suggesting that modernization and bureaucratization
increasingly eviscerate everyday skills and knowledge. These processes also lead to changes regarding what is considered credible
‘authoritative knowledge.’ I found that older Anglophone Euro-Canadians expressed the greatest skill deficits. They attempted
to redress these deficits through consultation of professionally authored books, medical Web sites and health professionals.
Older Anglophone Euro-Canadians saw these resources as sources of ‘authoritative knowledge.’ They also expressed dissatisfaction
with related health services. In contrast, Anglophone Afro-Caribbeans and younger lower-income Anglophone Euro-Canadians expressed
satisfaction with their skills. This derived from widespread previous experience with children and more extensive and readily
available kith and kin networks. These were considered sources of ‘authoritative knowledge’ in this group. This group expressed
less dissatisfaction with health services, as they did not need, or expect, these services to redress skill deficits.
