Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

Lampreys of the St. Joseph River Drainage in Northern Indiana, with an Emphasis on the Chestnut Lamprey (Ichthyomyzon Castaneus)
2015. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 124(1):26–31 DOI: LAMPREYS OF THE ST. JOSEPH RIVER DRAINAGE IN NORTHERN INDIANA, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE CHESTNUT LAMPREY (ICHTHYOMYZON CASTANEUS) Philip A. Cochran and Scott E. Malotka1: Biology Department, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, 700 Terrace Heights, Winona, MN 55987 USA Daragh Deegan: City of Elkhart Public Works and Utilities, Elkhart, IN 46516 USA ABSTRACT. This study was initiated in response to concern about parasitism by lampreys on trout in the Little Elkhart River of the St. Joseph River drainage in northern Indiana. Identification of 229 lampreys collected in the St. Joseph River drainage during 1998–2012 revealed 52 American brook lampreys (Lethenteron appendix), one northern brook lamprey (Ichthyomyzon fossor), 130 adult chestnut lampreys (I. castaneus), five possible adult silver lampreys (I. unicuspis), and 41 Ichthyomyzon ammocoetes. The brook lampreys are non-parasitic and do not feed as adults, so most if not all parasitism on fish in this system is due to chestnut lampreys. Electrofishing surveys in the Little Elkhart River in August 2013 indicated that attached chestnut lampreys and lamprey marks were most common on the larger fishes [trout (Salmonidae), suckers (Catostomidae), and carp (Cyprinidae)] at each of three sites. This is consistent with the known tendency for parasitic lampreys to select larger hosts. Trout in the Little Elkhart River may be more vulnerable to chestnut lamprey attacks because they are relatively large compared to alternative hosts such as suckers. Plots of chestnut lamprey total length versus date of capture revealed substantial variability on any given date. -
Lamprey, Hagfish
Agnatha - Lamprey, Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Super Class: Agnatha Hagfish Agnatha are jawless fish. Lampreys and hagfish are in this class. Members of the agnatha class are probably the earliest vertebrates. Scientists have found fossils of agnathan species from the late Cambrian Period that occurred 500 million years ago. Members of this class of fish don't have paired fins or a stomach. Adults and larvae have a notochord. A notochord is a flexible rod-like cord of cells that provides the main support for the body of an organism during its embryonic stage. A notochord is found in all chordates. Most agnathans have a skeleton made of cartilage and seven or more paired gill pockets. They have a light sensitive pineal eye. A pineal eye is a third eye in front of the pineal gland. Fertilization of eggs takes place outside the body. The lamprey looks like an eel, but it has a jawless sucking mouth that it attaches to a fish. It is a parasite and sucks tissue and fluids out of the fish it is attached to. The lamprey's mouth has a ring of cartilage that supports it and rows of horny teeth that it uses to latch on to a fish. Lampreys are found in temperate rivers and coastal seas and can range in size from 5 to 40 inches. Lampreys begin their lives as freshwater larvae. In the larval stage, lamprey usually are found on muddy river and lake bottoms where they filter feed on microorganisms. The larval stage can last as long as seven years! At the end of the larval state, the lamprey changes into an eel- like creature that swims and usually attaches itself to a fish. -
