  • Carp Hills/South March Highlands Bio-Blitz 2011 (PDF)
    Carp Hills –South March Highlands Bio‐blitz 2011 Organized by Linda McCormick [email protected] Financial assistance for this project was provided by the Ottawa Stewardship Council Acknowledgements Prior to this experience, I had not participated in a bio‐blitz; nor do I have a background in biology. Therefore, I am intensely grateful to the support and assistance I received from the individuals and groups listed below. They made the event possible. The Ottawa Stewardship Council provided financial support and its members reviewed this report. The Council is part of the Ontario Stewardship Program, an initiative of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. It is mandated to assist environmental groups, community associations, and other groups in Ottawa developing projects that promote and maintain a healthy environment (http://www.ottawastewardship.org/). Heather Hamilton from the Canadian Bio‐diversity Institute generously shared her time and expertise. She imported the concept of the bio‐blitz to North America a number of years ago and her enthusiasm for this method of promoting the natural environment is infectious. Nick Stow from the City of Ottawa provided support and assistance. He coordinated the design and production of maps of City‐owned property for bio‐blitz. Members of the Protect the South March Highlands Coalition promoted the bio‐blitz, set up the Nature Fair, provided operational support during the bio‐blitz and coordinated a dinner for participants. The Ottawa, Mississippi Valley and McNamara Field Naturalist Clubs promoted the event on their websites and in emails to their members. Members volunteered their time to participate in the Nature Fair and share their expertise.

  • The Plan for Canada's Capital
    Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.

  • FAUNAL FINDINGS at the CONSTANCE BAY SITE NO. 1 (Biga-2)
    Savage: FAUNAL FINDINGS 25 FAUNAL FINDINGS AT THE CONSTANCE BAY SITE NO. 1 (BiGa-2) HOWARD SAVAGE ABSTRACT Faunal material, excavated by Mr. Gordon Watson at the Constance Bay Site No. 1 (BiGa-2) and radiocarbon dated at 2,440 ± 75 B.P., included elements from six mammal species, as well as turtle and fish species, many of which were calcined. The small size of the beaver and black bear findings was noted. Cavitation of the compact bone of most of the cortex specimens from large mammal species was demonstrated by direct examination and radiologically, and its nature investigated by X-ray diffraction and spectography, and microscopic examination and selective staining of ground thin sections. A suggested mode of production of the cavitation is a destructive effect of soil factors on the bone inner portion and its subsequent leaching out, with a resultant shell of cortex only remaining. This effect does not appear to have occurred in other archaeological sites in Ontario. The very interesting faunal material from the Constance Bay Site No. 1 (BiGa-2) was excavated by Mr. Gordon Watson during the summers of 1970 and 1971 at Constance Bay in one of the lakes of the Ottawa River, about 30 miles west of Ottawa. Its ceramic and lithic findings have indicated its occupation during the Woodland Period of Ontario prehistory, as has also a radiocarbon dating of a charcoal sample from the site as 2,440 ± 75 B.P. (Watson, 1972). The faunal findings from this site consisted of approximately 3,010 specimens, in which 412 mammalian, 49 turtle and 7 fish elements were recognized (Appendix A).

  • Cryptic Species Among Bumblebee Mimics: an Unrecognized Hemaris Hawkmoth (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) in Eastern North America

CHRISTIAN SCHMIDT Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes, Ottawa Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Through integrating molecular, morphological and natural history evidence, nominal Hemaris diffinis (Boisduval) of east- ern North America is shown to include a second, cryptic species, Hemaris aethra (Strecker) stat. rev. Despite highly di- vergent mtDNA sequences and differing larval phenotypes, genitalic morphology, habitat and larval host plants, adults of H. aethra and sympatric H. diffinis are externally so similar that H. aethra has remained unrecognized for over a century. With a more northerly distribution than H. diffinis, H. aethra occurs from Manitoba to Nova Scotia and adjacent parts of the United States, the two species occurring in strict sympatry in eastern Ontario and likely other regions. Co-mimicry of Bombus Latreille bumblebee models has likely resulted in phenotypic convergence of H. diffinis and H. aethra, as the two do not appear to be sister taxa, the latter instead being more closely related to the western species H. thetis (Boisduval). The larvae of H. aethra are illustrated for the first time, together with diagnostic images and comparisons of adults.
