They are used globally in agricultural, rings. They are semi-volatile, lipophilic, and resistant to heat and industrial and health applications (Corsolini et al., 2016). Due to corrosion (Masih et al., 2012; Das et al., 2014). They can be their effective environmental dispersal mechanisms and their divided into two categories: low molecular weight compounds resistance to degradation, they have contaminated all ecosystems (with less than four benzene rings) and high molecular weight globally, and they pose a substantial risk to human health and the compounds (with four or more benzene rings) (Kim et al., 2013) environment (Bengtson Nash, 2011). As their distribution is (Figure 1). They were one of the first groups of atmospheric wide-ranging and across national borders, there has been pollutants to be identified as carcinogenic, with carcinogenicity international cooperation to stop or substantially reduce the increasing with the molecular weight of the compound (Ames release of a growing number of these chemicals. Most notably in et al., 1972). PAHs are formed and emitted in large quantities as the form of the Stockholm Convention, first adopted in 2001, to the by-products of the incomplete combustion of petroleum protect human health and the environment from POPs and products like coal, fuel, and gas (Jiao et al., 2017). They are signed by 182 countries (UNEP, 2009; UNEP, 2013). Although hydrophobic and difficult to degrade, which therefore leads to global restrictions have led to a reduction in the release of POPs, increased accumulation in soils. Their levels have been shown to their levels in the environment and within animal populations be increasing within Arctic marine biota at lower trophic levels in still remain high enough to elicit concern (Sonne, 2010; Bengtson contrast to other POPs that are in decline, and PAHs now Nash, 2011; AMAP, 2018). Exposure to POPs in humans and dominate the POP body burden of Arctic invertebrates and animals has been shown to increase the risk of adverse effects on fish (Laender et al., 2011). Like with other POPs, atmospheric the immune system (Corsini et al., 2014; Oulhote et al., 2017), transport is the main mechanism for PAHs produced at lower reproduction (Vested et al., 2014; Dietz et al., 2018), endocrine latitudes to find their way to Arctic regions. functions (Hotchkiss et al., 2008; Berg et al., 2016; Ahmed et al., The lipophilicity of many POPs, including PAHs, accelerates 2019), the nervous system (Dingemans et al., 2011), and to cause their accumulation in plant and animal tissues, magnifying in cancer (Alavanja and Bonner, 2012), among others. concentration up the food chain (Franzaring and van der Eerden, Although most sources of POPs originate at lower latitudes, the 2000).

By the end of the 18th century, Linnaean nomenclature had become standard, apart from in Flora Danica and a very few other botanical works. Applying Linnaean nomenclature elsewhere, O.F. Müller, editor 1775–1782, and M. Vahl, editor 1787–1799, followed Oeder’s norm in the Icones. J.W. Hornemann, editor 1810–1840, followed Oeder in his first fascicles, but began experimenting with changes towards Linnaean nomenclature from 1810. After 1840, subsequent editors consistently applied Linnaean principles for accepted names and synonyms. Keywords.

  • A Transnational Study of Arctic Travel Narratives, 1818-1883
    From science in the Arctic to Arctic science: a transnational study of Arctic travel narratives, 1818-1883 Nanna Katrine Lüders Kaalund A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Science and Technology Studies, York University Toronto, Ontario April 2017 © Nanna Katrine Lüders Kaalund 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the making and communicating of knowledge about the Arctic from a transnational perspective between 1818 and the First International Polar Year in 1882-83. By examining both well-known and hitherto neglected narratives from Danish, British, and British-Canadian Arctic explorations, I show that changes in ideas about what it meant to be an authoritative observer of Arctic phenomena were linked to tensions in imperial ambitions, national identity, and international collaboration. By framing polar surveying in the broadest sense as the ordering and quantifying of nature through travel, I analyse how abstract notions of the Arctic became tangible in the nineteenth century. I am concerned with the practices of writing the Arctic experience, especially the relationship between science, and the strategies for constructing a trustworthy narrative voice. That is, I investigate the ways in which the identities of the explorers and the organizing bodies shaped the expeditions, and by extension the representation of the ventures, the explorers, and the science they produced. In doing so, I argue that the Arctic played a key role in shaping Western science, and understandings of national and imperial identities, and that travel narratives were a significant resource for communicating this knowledge.

LlND WITH ONE ,\lAP AND THREE PLATES Preface. he present paper deals with the Micromycetes found on fragments T of plants from Svalbard (Spitsbergen and Bear Island). As I have not visited the islands myself the investigation is based exclusively on the dried plant material brought home by other investigators and now to be found in the herbaria at Oslo and Copenhagen. I am greatly indebted to Dr. BERNT LYNGE, and Mr. C. CHRISTENSEN, M. A., Museum Inspectors, of Oslo and Copenhagen respectively, for the very great kindness with which they have placed their rich collections at my disposal. There are also in the Swedish museums large collections of plants from Svalbard, and I am grateful for the promise of permission to borrow them also, but it would be an insurmountable task for me to go through a greater amount of material than that I have already seen. Meanwhile, Professor O. jUEL of Uppsala has been good enough to lend me a small collection of 150 specimens, which the late C.

That treasure-trove of dried plants, dating back to the Geological Survey days when an enthusiastic young Irishman named John Macoun had leapt from a prairie wagon-train to stuff his collecting vasculum with flowers, mosses, and grasses, had been housed in the Victoria Memorial Museum in Ottawa since January 1911. Due to lack of space, however, the entire Division of Biology, including the Herbarium, was moved to the Motor Build- ing in 1935, and when Erling Porsild started his temporary appointment in 1936, he was faced with the daunting task of sorting out the mess that had been left after years of neglect. There were bundles of newspapers with loose dried plants, or cabinets filled with large sheets of heavy paper to which were glued flattened specimens and faded labels that gave the date and place of collection but with names that no longer applied.
