A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • Tacora Resources Inc. Completes Acquisition of Sydvaranger
    Tacora Resources Inc. 102 NE 3rd Street Suite 120 Grand Rapids, MN 55744 Tel: +1 218-999-7018 NEWS RELEASE ______________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tacora Resources Inc. Completes Acquisition of Sydvaranger GRAND RAPIDS, MN, January 14, 2021 – Tacora Resources Inc. (“Tacora” or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Sydvaranger Mining AS and its subsidiaries (“Sydvaranger”), an iron ore mine and processing plant located in Sør-Varanger, Norway. The acquisition of Sydvaranger provides Tacora with a 4 million tonne per year shovel-ready expansion opportunity and geographical diversification in a tier 1 jurisdiction. Sydvaranger operated from 1910 to 1997, and then from 2009 to 2015 producing high grade iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of 68%, for pelletizing operations. The Tschudi Group, a Norwegian shipping and logistics company, has been involved with the Sydvaranger Mine since 2006. In 2016, the Tschudi Group re-acquired the Sydvaranger assets and has since focused its activities on completing a feasibility study and preparing for restarting the operations. Sydvaranger’s high quality, low impurity, magnetite iron ore concentrate has significant environmental and cost benefits for steel producers and pelletizing operations, including increased blast furnace productivity, reduced slag volumes, lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced and reduced energy requirements for pelletizing, amongst others. Thierry Martel, the President and CEO of Tacora

  • ”Al. Beldie” Herbarium
    Research Journal of Agricultural Science, 51 (3), 2019 CHARACTERIZATION OF CORNUS PLANT PRESENT IN ”AL. BELDIE” HERBARIUM Emilia VECHIU¹, Lucian DINCĂ1 1 “Marin Drăcea” National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry, Braşov, Romania email: [email protected] Abstract: ”Al. Beldie” Herbarium from ”Marin Drăcea” National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry contains a rich collection of plants. Approximately 40.000 vouchers belong to this herbarium and are stored in 600 drawers. Herbariuns are important because they provide information about plants and their area of propagation during long periods that help to carry out studies in taxonomy, biodiversity, ecology, anatomy, morphology etc. As such, various investigations were carried out with the help of data from this herbarium concerning different families and types of plants. The purpose of this article is to morphologically and ecologicallycharacterize certain Cornus species that can be found in this herbarium. Cornus Genus contains approximately 55-58 species cares that are widespread in the northern hemisphere, with few in Africa and southern America. The species found in the herbarium are the following: Cornus alba L., Cornus amomum Mill., Cornus alternifolia L., Cornus asperifolia Michx., Cornus baileyi J.M. Coult. & W.H. Evans, Cornus canadensis L., Cornus candidissima Marshall., Cornus florida L., Cornus mas L., Cornus macrophylla Wall., Cornus obliqua Raf., Cornus paniculata L'Hér., Cornus pumila Koehne, Cornus sanguinea L., Cornus stolonifera Michx. Cornus stricta Lam. and Cornus suecica L . Each plants contains data referring to the name of the species, the harvesting place, the harvesting year, the person who has collected them as well as their conservation degree.

The paper describes surveying a part of the meridian arc in Lapland (border of Sweden and Finland). The field team had great difficulty with the climate and terrain configuration. However, they managed to prove that the Earth is roughly shaped as a rotational ellipsoid and confirm theoretical assumptions on Newton and Huygens that the arc length of one meridian degree near a pole is greater than at smaller latitudes.
