This program has 42 Stewardship Councils, volunteers groups of representative landowners and land interest groups who determine the environmental priorities for a given area, usually a county, in Ontario. The Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council has projects and operational funding which act as the catalyst to ensure that good ideas can be translated into projects. Some of the projects implemented by the Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council are: the re-introduction of wild turkeys in Prescott-Russell; seminars for woodlot owners; greening programs; the French Envirothon; the Water Well Identification Program; and the Alfred Birding Trail, among others. The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club was founded in 1879. The club promotes appreciation, preservation and conservation of Canada’s natural heritage. The OFNC produces two quarterly publications: the peer- reviewed journal, The Canadian Field-Naturalist, reporting research in Canadian natural history, and Trail and Landscape, providing articles on natural history of the Ottawa Valley. This report was commissioned by the Prescott-Russell Stewardship Council and The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club Written and prepared by Christine Hanrahan.

  • Diverse Allochthonous Resource Quality Effects on Headwater Stream Communities Through Insect-Microbe Interactions
    DIVERSE ALLOCHTHONOUS RESOURCE QUALITY EFFECTS ON HEADWATER STREAM COMMUNITIES THROUGH INSECT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS By Courtney Larson A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Entomology—Doctor of Philosophy Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior—Dual Major 2020 ABSTRACT DIVERSE ALLOCHTHONOUS RESOURCE QUALITY EFFECTS ON HEADWATER STREAM COMMUNITIES THROUGH INSECT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS By Courtney Larson Freshwater resources are vital to environmental sustainability and human health; yet, they are inundated by multiple stressors, leaving aquatic communities to face unknown consequences. Headwater streams are highly reliant on allochthonous sources of energy. Riparian trees shade the stream, limiting primary production, causing macroinvertebrates to consume an alternative food source. Traditionally, leaf litter fallen from riparian trees is the primary allochthonous resource, but other sources, such as salmon carrion associated with annual salmon runs, may also be important. An alteration in the quantity or quality of these sources may have far reaching effects not only on the organisms that directly consume the allochthonous resource (shredders), but also on other functional feeding groups. Allochthonous resources directly and indirectly change stream microbial communities, which are used by consumers with potential changes to their life histories and behavior traits. The objective of my research was to determine the influence allochthonous resources have on stream

  • GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES 5 Eastward Across Northern Ontario and Down Into Eastern Ontario
    GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES 5 eastward across northern Ontario and down into eastern Ontario. Petroleum and natural gas, salt, and gypsum are also produced on an important scale in trie south­ western part of the Province. Fruit farming in the Niagara District and general farming throughout the entire southern part of the Province are carried on extensively under unusually favourable conditions, while timber, pulp, and furs are other im­ portant products of more northern parts. Manitoba.—Manitoba, the most easterly of the Prairie Provinces, and also the oldest of them in point of settlement, includes the area between Ontario on the east and Saskatchewan on the west. Its southerly limit is the International Boundary, while its northerly boundary is the 60th parallel of latitude and Hudson Bay, where its coast of over 400 miles includes the harbour and port of Churchill. The total area of Manitoba, of which about 56 p.c. lies south of the isotherm of 60° F. mean July temperature,* is 246,512 square miles—3,246 square miles greater than twice the total area of the British Isles. The conformity of the surface of Manitoba is quite even; commencing on the north with a strip bordering on Hudson Bay—perhaps 100 miles wide and less than 500 feet in elevation—the surface rises gradually towards the west and south. The bulk of the Province has an elevation of between 500 and 1,000 feet, and the greatest height of 2,727 feet is attained in Duck Mountain, north­ west of Lake Dauphin. East and north of Lake Winnipeg the Canadian Shield is found with its Precambrian rock formation, but the remainder of the Province is over­ lain by very fertile soil of great depth.

Kowalski 3 1 Department of Plant Biology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA; [email protected] 2 Centre of Advanced Study in Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, UP 221005, India; [email protected] 3 U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes Science Center, 1451 Green Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105-2807, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-848-932-6286 Received: 22 August 2018; Accepted: 5 September 2018; Published: 17 September 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we describe a mechanism for the transfer of nutrients from symbiotic microbes (bacteria and fungi) to host plant roots that we term the ‘rhizophagy cycle.’ In the rhizophagy cycle, microbes alternate between a root intracellular endophytic phase and a free-living soil phase. Microbes acquire soil nutrients in the free-living soil phase; nutrients are extracted through exposure to host-produced reactive oxygen in the intracellular endophytic phase. We conducted experiments on several seed-vectored microbes in several host species. We found that initially the symbiotic microbes grow on the rhizoplane in the exudate zone adjacent the root meristem. Microbes enter root tip meristem cells—locating within the periplasmic spaces between cell wall and plasma membrane. In the periplasmic spaces of root cells, microbes convert to wall-less protoplast forms. As root cells mature, microbes continue to be subjected to reactive oxygen (superoxide) produced by NADPH oxidases (NOX) on the root cell plasma membranes.
