    The Canadian Field-Naturalist Birds of Mansel Island, northern Hudson Bay Anthony J. Gaston Science and Technology Branch, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3 Canada; email: [email protected] Gaston, A.J. 2019. Birds of Mansel Island, northern Hudson Bay. Canadian Field-Naturalist 133(1): 20–24. https://doi.org/ 10.22621/cfn.v133i1.2153 Abstract A recent review of bird distributions in Nunavut demonstrated that Mansel Island, in northeastern Hudson Bay, is one of the least known areas in the territory. Here, current information on the birds of Mansel Island is summarized. A list published in 1932 included 24 species. Subsequent visits by ornithologists since 1980 have added a further 17 species to the island’s avifauna. The list includes 17 species for which breeding has been confirmed and 10 for which breeding is considered prob- able. The island seems to support particularly large populations of King Eiders (Somateria spectabilis) and Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus) and the most southerly breeding population of Sabine’s Gull (Xema sabini) and Red Knot (Calidiris canuta; probably). Key words: Mansel Island; Hudson Bay; birds; breeding Introduction leaved Mountain Avens (Dryas integrifolia Vahl) and At 3180 km2, Mansel Island, Qikiqtaaluk Region, Purple Mountain Saxifrage (Saxifraga op po sitifolia Nunavut, is the 28th largest island in Canada.

Its overall objective is to improve our understanding of circum- Arctic coastal dynamics as a function of environmental forcing, coastal geology and cryology and morphodynamic behavior. The fifth IASC-sponsored ACD workshop was held in Montreal, Canada, on October 13-16, 2004. Participants from Canada (20), Germany (3), Malaysia (1), the Netherlands (1), Norway (1), Russia (14), and the United States (6) attended. The objective of the workshop was to review the status of ACD according to the Science and Implementation Plan, with the main focus on completing the circum-Arctic ACD segmentation and classification and initiating the development of web-deliverable GIS products. During the first part of the workshop, progress reports of the working groups of the last workshop held in St.

Esto resulta en la producción de gametos que contienen una cantidad de cromosomas mayor o menor a la encontrada en una célula normal. Consecuentemente, el individuo puede desarrollar una trisomía o monosomía. La no disyunción puede ocurrir en meiosis I o meiosis II de la división celular, es una causa de diversas condiciones médicas anormales, incluyendo el Síndrome de Down (trisomía del cromosoma 21), Síndrome de Patau (trisomía del cromosoma 13), Síndrome de Edward (trisomía del cromosoma 18) y Síndrome de Turner (la presencia de un solo cromosoma X). A pesar de que es la causa de numerosos trastornos genéticos, aún no se conoce su etiología exacta y el proceso en el cual se lleva a cabo. La no disyunción se origina en el mayor de los casos de errores en la meiosis II materna, sin embargo, la meiosis paterna y la meiosis I materna influyen en ella.

" Far as the heart can wish, the fancy roam, Survey our empire, and behold our home. THE Algoma District is one of the most important divisions of the Province of Ontario.* Its boundaries, as originally denned, were as follows : — " Commencing on the north shore of the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron at the most westerly mouth of French River, thence due north to the northerly limit of the Province, thence along the said northerly limit of the Province westerly to the westerly limit thereof, thence along the said westerly limit of the Province southerly to the southerly limit thereof, thence along the said southerly limit of the Province to a point in Lake Huron opposite to the southern extremity of the Great Manitoulin Island, thence easterly and north-easterly so as to include all the islands in Lake Huron not within the settled limits of any county or district, to the place of beginning." By Proclamation of 13th May, 1871, the Territorial District of Thunder Bay was denned as " All that part of the District of Algoma lying west of the meridian of 87° of west longitude." This meridian is a little to the east of the Slate Islands in Lake Superior, and near the mouth of Steel River.

Here we present a chronology of its retreat based Available online 27 June 2014 on in situ produced cosmogenic 10Be from erratic boulders at Cape Lachman, northern James Ross Island. Schmidt hammer testing was adopted to assess the weathering state of erratic boulders in order to better interpret excess Keywords: cosmogenic 10Be from cumulative periods of pre-exposure or earlier release from the glacier. The weighted mean Northern Prince Gustav Ice Stream exposure age of five boulders based on Schmidt hammer data is 12.9 ± 1.2 ka representing the beginning of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet b Be-10 exposure dating deglaciation of lower-lying areas ( 60 m a.s.l.) of the northern James Ross Island, when Northern Prince Gustav Schmidt hammer testing Ice Stream split from the remaining James Ross Island ice cover.
