  • FEUTURE EU 28 Country Report Lithuania
    March 2017 FEUTURE EU 28 Country Report Lithuania Liucija Verveckiene and Justinas Lingevicius, European Integration Studies Centre FEUTURE EU 28 Country Report: Lithuania 1. History of EU-Turkey Relations1 1.1. Turkish EU membership – no topic before Lithuania joined the EU Before evaluating Lithuania’s position on EU-Turkey relations historically, it is important to note two historical facts. Firstly, Lithuania accessed the EU in 2004. There was little debate on Turkey’s EU membership before Lithuania’s accession for all the attention was paid to Lithuania’s fulfillment of the Copenhagen criteria and other integration issues. Secondly, Turkey was already a NATO member when Lithuania accessed the Alliance in 2004. Therefore, Lithuania considered Turkey as a strong partner in the security and defence area. 1.2. Building mutual partnership When we look at the public attitudes towards EU-Turkey relations after 2004, more positive than negative discourse is evident. Firstly, this could be explained by the fact that Turkey has supported Lithuania’s NATO membership and politicians have underlined a strategic partnership between the two countries. Thus, the security narrative played an important role and the Lithuanian government has also acknowledged Turkey’s geo-strategical position with regard to the whole continent. Secondly, economic relations between the EU and Turkey and the value of an already implemented free trade regime was acknowledged. Thirdly, via diplomatic channels a Turkish message has been transferred right after 2004: it is important for Turkey to be supported by Lithuania and all the attempts of support for the Turkish-EU dialogue are highly valued by the 2 Turkish people.

  • Ruffed Grouse
    Ruffed Grouse Photo Courtesy of the Ruffed Grouse Society Introduction The ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) is North America’s most widely distributed game bird. As a very popular game species, the grouse is in the same family as the wild turkey, quail and pheasant. They range from Alaska to Georgia including 34 states and all the Canadian provinces. Historically in Indiana, its range included the forested regions of the state. Today the range is limited to the south central and southeastern 1/3 of the state in the southern hill country, with a few pockets in counties bordering Michigan. Ruffed grouse weigh between 1 and 1.5 pounds and grow to 17 inches in length with a 22-inch wingspan. They exhibit color phases with northern range birds being reddish-brown to gray while those in the southern part of their continental range, including Indiana, are red. History and Current Status Before settlement, grouse populations ranged throughout the hardwood region of the state. In areas where timber was permanently removed for farms, homes and towns grouse habitat has been lost. During the early1900’s, many farms in the south-central portion of Indiana were abandoned. As a result of this farm abandonment, the vegetation around old home sites and in the fallow fields grew through early plant succession stages. About the same time, the reforestation era began as abandoned farms reverted into public ownership under the management of state and federal natural resource agencies. By the 1950’s, natural succession, reforestation, and timber harvest management were beginning to form a myriad of early successional forest patches across a fairly contiguous forested landscape.

  • 2005-06 New Jersey Firearm Hunter Survey
    2005-06 NJ Firearm Hunter Harvest, Recreational and Economic Survey Summary Mail questionnaires were sent to 4,438 firearm hunters licensed during the 2004 calendar year (5.8 percent of all firearm license sales) requesting harvest, recreational and economic information for the 2005-06 hunting season. Survey results indicate that firearm hunters are aging and that retention of younger hunters is low. The mean age of licensed firearm hunters sampled is 44.3 ± 0.4 years of age. Resident firearm hunters live in every county of the state, and 79.8 percent of non-resident firearm hunters reside in the neighboring states of Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware. Firearm license sales (72,604 in 2005) have declined to their lowest point since 1914. Nearly one-half of survey respondents actively pursued at least one of the 14 small game species open to hunting. An estimated 35,411 small game firearm hunters spent in excess of 11.1 million dollars (US, excluding license, permit and stamp fees), enjoyed 420,228 recreation-days and harvested an estimated 61,811 northern bobwhite, 6,481 crows, 27,546 chukar partridge, 711 ruffed grouse, 155,238 pheasants, 3,794 woodcock, 198 eastern coyotes, 79 gray fox, 18,140 gray squirrels, 30,431 rabbits and hares, 435 raccoons, 790 red fox and 4,031 woodchucks during the 2005-06 season.

  • Revision of Molt and Plumage
    The Auk 124(2):ART–XXX, 2007 © The American Ornithologists’ Union, 2007. Printed in USA. REVISION OF MOLT AND PLUMAGE TERMINOLOGY IN PTARMIGAN (PHASIANIDAE: LAGOPUS SPP.) BASED ON EVOLUTIONARY CONSIDERATIONS Peter Pyle1 The Institute for Bird Populations, P.O. Box 1346, Point Reyes Station, California 94956, USA Abstract.—By examining specimens of ptarmigan (Phasianidae: Lagopus spp.), I quantifi ed three discrete periods of molt and three plumages for each sex, confi rming the presence of a defi nitive presupplemental molt. A spring contour molt was signifi cantly later and more extensive in females than in males, a summer contour molt was signifi cantly earlier and more extensive in males than in females, and complete summer–fall wing and contour molts were statistically similar in timing between the sexes. Completeness of feather replacement, similarities between the sexes, and comparison of molts with those of related taxa indicate that the white winter plumage of ptarmigan should be considered the basic plumage, with shi s in hormonal and endocrinological cycles explaining diff erences in plumage coloration compared with those of other phasianids. Assignment of prealternate and pre- supplemental molts in ptarmigan necessitates the examination of molt evolution in Galloanseres. Using comparisons with Anserinae and Anatinae, I considered a novel interpretation: that molts in ptarmigan have evolved separately within each sex, and that the presupplemental and prealternate molts show sex-specifi c sequences within the defi nitive molt cycle. Received 13 June 2005, accepted 7 April 2006. Key words: evolution, Lagopus, molt, nomenclature, plumage, ptarmigan. Revision of Molt and Plumage Terminology in Ptarmigan (Phasianidae: Lagopus spp.) Based on Evolutionary Considerations Rese.—By examining specimens of ptarmigan (Phasianidae: Lagopus spp.), I quantifi ed three discrete periods of molt and three plumages for each sex, confi rming the presence of a defi nitive presupplemental molt.
