	Vagrancy (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vagrancy is a phenomenon in biology whereby individual animals appear well outside their normal range; individual animals which exhibit vagrancy are known as vagrants.
		Vagrancy is known to occur in birds, insects, mammals and turtles.
		Vagrancy in insects is recorded from many groups - it is particularly well-studied in butterflies and moths, and dragonflies.

	Vineyard Gazette - Bird News
		Born in 1787, Thomas Say, though obscure today outside the world of biology, was a brilliant naturalist, a leader of a generation of great biologists who explored, collected, and catalogued the wildlife of the western frontier of an expanding America.
		Biology was a cozy world in those days.
		But this drab flycatcher is highly migratory, breeding as far north as central Alaska, wintering as far south as central Mexico, and like many highly migratory species, it's prone to vagrancy.

	Essay or Coursework : Did the 'lower orders' generally benefit from the legislation-introduced by Tudor government to combat poverty and vagrancy?
		The most immediate and pressing concern of government, for something more than a century was with the problem of vagrancy.
		The majority believed that it was the fault of the individual and it was this view that led to the government dealing with beggars and vagrants punitively, they initially dealt with the symptoms rather than the cause.
		This combined with the much larger one of poverty in general gradually evolved into the great Elizabethan poor laws of 1598-1601 and finally gave an impetus to that great outpouring of mercantile charity which more than anything else kept the problem within reasonable bounds.

		A review of the literature revealed, “some characteristics of the population biology are simply not addressed.” With respect to herring, “spatial constraints are considered to be important to the diverse aspects of the population regulation problem.”
		A better understanding of population regulation may be attributed to work in the fishery biology field.
		A hypothesis concerning population regulation of herring in the oceans was discussed, posing questions pertaining to the number of populations, levels of absolute abundance and controlling mechanisms of interannual variability in abundance, and variability in spawning times between populations.

		His passion is not only to understand the biology and identification of birds, but to pass on this information to enrich the birding experience for other birders.
		We will concentrate on learning about pelagic birds: learning how to identify them, their migrations, habitat choice, and biology to put their world of wandering over the open ocean in perspective.
		His interests range from field identification, to the evolution of behavior, and conservation biology of migratory birds in California.

		Tennessee biology teachers and parents and National Association of Biology Teachers sued Tennessee state board charged with selecting public school textbooks, challenging constitutionality of Tennessee statute requiring evolution disclaimer in biology textbooks and equal time for creationism.
		Plaintiffs are teachers of biology in Tennessee public schools, some of whom are also parents of public school students, plus the National Association of Biology Teachers.
		The Tennessee statute, by contrast, contains no criminal sanctions and prescribes that religious theories of evolution and the creation be included in the teaching of biology.

		The Qing government wrestled with its Taiwan policy to reduce piracy and vagrancy in the area, which led to a series of edicts to manage immigration and respect aboriginal land rights.
		Following the defeat of Cheng's grandson to an armada led by Admiral Shi Lang, Cheng's followers were expatriated to the furthest reaches of the Qing empire leaving approximately 7000 Chinese on Taiwan.
		Illegal immigrants continued to enter Taiwan as renters of the large plots aboriginal lands under contracts that usually involved marriage, while the border between tax paying lands and "savage" lands expanded east.

		In most of these cases, the vagrancy is due to jays gathering acorns and carrying them up-slope to cache them for future food supplies.

	AMPP: Racism
		Gallagher wasn't a bomb-throwing revisionist historian, she was a 50-year-old former biology teacher who expected her doctoral thesis to ''sit on a shelf,'' and she had stumbled into a subject both unexplored and painful.
		Nancy Gallagher, who taught biology in Vermont schools for years, is haunted by another possibility: That at some point, unknowingly, she may have popularized scientific inquiry with equally horrifying applications.
		An "asocial way of life"‒by which was meant severe alcoholism, incorrigible vagrancy or serious criminality‒was an indication for sterilization of those "obviously unfit" to care for their children.

	BirdForum - View Single Post - Hi from the English fens
		Not very interested in chasing rarities, though I do think vagrancy is completely fascinating...sort of an armchair twitcher perhaps.
		Mainly interested in thoroughly getting to know all the "standard" British birds (ie the ones in a basic field guide), in observing behaviour and in learning about bird biology.
		I often like to combine wildlife-watching expeditions with walking or cycling, poking round old churches and, more than anything, just sitting and contemplating the grandeur of nature.

		Senge’s views are just one of countless instances where contemporary people in these contemporary times are questioning how much churches are continuing to enlighten people’s minds on non-secular issues, considering the impact of widespread materialism.

	Black Codes History Summary
		Laws requiring work were nothing new (vagrancy had been punished in England for centuries), and at least three Northern states—Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio—had antebellum statutes directed at African Americans.
		Shortly after the Civil War's end, Southern legislatures, which were dominated by ex-Confederates during the presidential phase of Reconstruction (1864–1867), passed laws that for former slaves replaced the authority of slave owners with that of the state.
		Southern white legislators, faced with what they saw as social unrest and economic ruin, embedded in their codes significant restrictions on African-American economic freedom.

		The species is seldom seen in North America south of Canada and Alaska, and much of the published information not directly related to its breeding biology focuses on vagrancy or identification.
		Even though this jaeger spends more than three-fourths of its life at sea, nearly all information about its biology comes from its arctic breeding grounds.
		During the breeding season, it feeds over arctic tundra; as a migrant and through- out the northern winter, it is highly pelagic, spending its time over open seas.
