<i>When I first published that 1974 paper, I failed to realize just how controversial it would be to suggest that infants who disappeared had been deliberately killed by incoming males as part of a reproductive strategy. I was not nearly as careful as I should have been in differentiating between infants who disappeared under suspicious circumstances, those where attacks were witnessed, and those whose deaths were confirmed. Later on, it became common practice to do this. Thus before xeroxing and mailing out reprints (this was in the days before internet) I added a qualification to the column heading so it read “Date of death or disappearance”</i> (Source: Folia Primatologica 22:19-58) <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2018/01/02/revisiting-hrdy-1974/">Link to interview</a>

<i>We didn't have any electronic way to record data. You have a white board - a PVC slide - and a soft pencil and you can write on that and clean the plate after transferring the data to a (analogue) notebook. To make quantitative recordings, you draw a table on the plate before diving, with the behaviours you expect to observe. When you do these observations, you should not put your eyes away from the fish that you are observing, because you lose them very easily. So, whatever you note down, you note down blindly; you don't see what you write, you only need to know where to make ticks or write numbers onto your plate</i>; Lake Tanganyika, Burundi; 1978; © Michael Taborsky <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2023/07/18/revisiting-taborsky-1984/">Link to interview</a>

<i>I bolted fiberglassed boards to the reef, and then attached plexiglass plates with brass screws. (My time working construction in Arizona and California came in handy.) The plates had 100 evenly spaced shallow pits drilled into the top. Barnacle larvae love shallow pits. I would then treat some plates with predator mucous to induce the bent morph.

<i>On the large islands in the Caribbean, what we call the Greater Antilles, the Anolis lizards are very similar. On each island, there is a diversity of different species, morphologically, that occupy different habitats, and behave differently, and the interesting thing is that you have the same set of habitat specialists on each island; with a few exceptions.

José Maria Vilhena worked as a security guard at INPA’s Ecology building. One day I was at the building entrance waiting for a rain to subside for me to leave, and he came to me. He told me that he knew that I researched ants and that he was very curious to learn about it, he wanted to learn new things, about scientific research, ecology, ants, etc., but as a security guard he knew that it would not happen. I talked to Heraldo about it, and Heraldo gave Vilhena the opportunity to work as a technician in the lab. Vilhena identified with the work, took training courses and even entered the University, where he studied Geography. He was always very dedicated and received a tribute bearing his name on a new species of ant collected by him (Strumigenys vilhenai) - Karine Carvalho'; Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP), about 70 km north of Manaus, Brazil; late 1990s; from the collection of Karine Carvalho <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2020/11/25/revisiting-carvalho-vasconcelos-1999/">Link to interview</a>

<i>We borrowed a couple of cuckoo eggs from the museum here and made a mould around each of them using Silastic rubber. The mould was in two halves, into which we poured resin and then stuck the two halves together. These resin egg models were then exactly the same dimensions as a real cuckoo egg, and the same mass too.We then painted them using acrylic paints to match the variety of eggs which cuckoos lay. Different cuckoo races lay different eggs. One race, for example, lays a pure blue egg and goes for redstarts.The reed warbler race of cuckoo lays a greenish spotted egg, which looks just like areed warbler egg. And there’s a meadow pipit strain of cuckoos, which lay brownish spotted eggs. We painted these varieties of egg types, so we could examine the response of reed warblers to their own race of cuckoo – namely, a mimetic egg, and to the eggs of other races of cuckoos, which would be non-mimetic for them</i>; Model eggs used by Nick Davies in his experiments on brood parasitism; © Nick Davies <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2020/12/01/revisiting-davies-brooke-1988/">Link to interview</a>

<i>I received a hand-written letter from Ernst Mayr about the paper, which I still have and treasure. He was curious, in particular, because I had talked about our thinking on the origins of these species pairs and whether they had resulted from a double invasion process, or whether they had evolved in sympatry. Sympatric speciation was, of course, a topic of great interest to Ernst Mayr, and it was not something that he believed ever happened. So I think he was pleased by our double invasion interpretation</i>; (Letter from Ernst Mayr to Dolph Schluter; 18 July 1992; from the collection of Dolph Schluter <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2018/02/07/revisiting-schluter-and-mcphail-1992/">Link to interview</a>

<i>We aimed at arriving at islands at 8am and the first job was to take spectrophotometric light measurements. It was important to take these measurements at the same time at all islands. I also wanted clear skies, to have similar sunlight conditions at each island. I had built a large wooden box with polysterol filling and a bright red plastic foil around it to hold my laptop and the spectrometer. I had a 10m long optical fibre cable. This was usually lying on the floor of the boat. It had a heavy industrial coating, but I still managed to break it once!</i>; Spectrometer used by Ole Seehausen during his study of cichlid fishes; Lake Victoria in Tanzania; 1996; © Ole Seehausen <a href="https://reflectionsonpaperspast.com/2018/01/10/revisiting-seehausen-et-al-1997/">Link to interview</a>

<i>It was almost evening when the adult male langur I called “Mug”, who had been stalking this mother-infant pair for some days, caught hold of her infant and was running with him in his jaws along the rooftop of the Phiroze School, as two older females in the group (“Sol” and “Pawless”) rushed at him to try and retrieve his victim. Years later, the self-sacrificing bravery of these old females at or near the end of their reproductive careers would play an important role in the development of my thinking about the roles group members other than mothers played in human evolution</i>; Interaction among Hanuman langur individuals observed by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy; Mount Abu in southwestern Rajasthan, India; during the period 1971-1973; © S.B.
