    CONODONTS OF THE MOJCZA LIMESTONE JERZY DZIK Dzik, J. 1994. Conodonts of the M6jcza Limestone. -In: J. Dzik, E. Olemp ska, and A. Pisera 1994. Ordovician carbonate platform ecosystem of the Holy Cross Moun­ tains. Palaeontologia Polonica 53, 43-128. The Ordovician organodetrital limestones and marls studied in outcrops at M6jcza and Miedzygorz, Holy Cross Mts, Poland, contains a record of the evolution of local conodont faunas from the latest Arenig (Early Kundan, Lenodus variabilis Zone) to the Ashgill (Amorphognathus ordovicicus Zone), with a single larger hiatus corre­ sponding to the subzones from Eop/acognathus pseudop/anu s to E. reclinatu s. The conodont fauna is Baltic in general appearance but cold water genera , like Sagitto­ dontina, Scabbardella, and Hamarodus, as well as those of Welsh or Chinese af­ finities, like Comp/exodus, Phragmodus, and Rhodesognathu s are dominant in par­ ticular parts of the section while others common in the Baltic region, like Periodon , Eop/acognathus, and Sca/pellodus are extremely rare. Most of the lineages continue to occur throughout most of the section enabling quantitative studies on their phyletic evolut ion. Apparatuses of sixty seven species of thirty six genera are described and illustrated. Phyletic evolution of Ba/toniodus, Amorphognathu s, Comp/exodus, and Pygodus is biometrically documented. Element s of apparatu ses are homolog ized and the standard notation system is applied to all of them. Acodontidae fam. n., Drepa­ nodus kie/censis sp. n., and D. santacrucensis sp. n. are proposed .

    % {I V 0> % rF h y Catalog of Type Specimens Compiled Frederick J. Collier of Invertebrate Fossils: Conodonta SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO PALEOBIOLOGY NUMBER 9 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes­ sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in­ terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

  • 1.1 Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus Elaphus Nelsoni)
    1.1 Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) SPECIES NAME: Rocky mountain elk SCIENTIFIC NAME: Cervus elaphus nelsoni SPECIES CODES: M-CEEL STATUS: Not at risk (MELP, 1997; COSEWIC, 1998) DISTRIBUTION Provincial Range Rocky Mountain elk primarily occur in the Kootenays, the lower Peace River area and the Muskwa-Prophet River drainages on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Although Rocky Mountain elk were historically abundant and widely distributed in the Cariboo-Chilcotin and Thompson-Nicola areas, elk declined for unknown reasons and today only small, widely scattered herds remain in these areas. Provincial Benchmark Ecoprovince: Northern Boreal Mountains Ecoregion: Northern Mountains and Plateaus and Northern Canadian Rocky Mountains Ecosection: Muskwa Foothils (MUF) Biogeoclimatic zone: SWBmk Broad Ecosystem Units: SM - Subalpine Meadow Project Study Area Ecoprovince: Northern Boreal Mountains Ecoregion: Northern Mountains and Plateaus and Northern Canadian Rocky Mountains Ecosection: Cassiar Ranges (CAR), Western Muskwa Ranges (WMR), Eastern Muskwa Ranges (EMR) and Missinchninka Ranges (MIR) Biogeoclimatic zone: BWBSdk1, SWBmk1, ESSFmv4, SWBmks1, ESSFmvp4 and AT Elevational range: Valley bottom to alpine The Akie and Pesika River drainages contain small populations of elk (Wood, 1994; Hatler, 1990; Wood, pers. comm.). The summer population is larger due to seasonal migrations from the Muskwa/Prophet river drainages and other adjacent areas (Wood, pers. comm.). Hatler (1990) and Wildlife Branch (1990b) found 22 and 19 elk respectively wintering in the upper Akie River drainage. A small population of elk reside along the Ingenika River. In 1996, 50 elk were transplanted into this area to supplement the original population of 20 to 30. The population is currently estimated at 40 to 50 individuals (Wood, pers.

  • Muskwa-Kechika Expedition and Camps 2021
    Muskwa-Kechika Expedition and Camps 2021 General Information The Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (M-KMA) encompasses a vast wilderness in BC’s northern Rocky Mountains. Teeming with wildlife, it is a vestige of the continental wilderness that once existed. MK Adventures has been leading expeditions into the remotest regions of the MK as part of an effort to protect this magnificent area for decades. You have an opportunity to become one of five participants on each expedition, where you will experience the ride of your life - a rewarding and full-on challenge for both the mind and body. MK Adventures 2021 Expedition Lineup - a year of changes In 2021 we will set off from from the Alaska Highway on June 15 and return on Sept 4. Detailed info is below. Wayne is turning 65 this fall, and while he feels as strong as ever, there comes a time when one has to dial back some of the more rigorous tasks. As a result he will be stepping back from the two week Expeditions, but will ride the Gatho Exploration Expedition, June 28 -July 12, and our Mayfield Experiences, July 26 - August 13. Alex and Michelle have been key members of the operation for a decade now, and in addition to leading the Muskwa-Kechika Adventures PO Box 27, Rolla BC, V0C 2G0 (250) 261-1513 email [email protected], Hit www.go2mk.ca Page 1 Expeditions in 2021 are planning to take over the reins from MK Adventures permanently. We will see what the future holds! Another change we have made for 2021 is to lower the number of guest riders from six or seven per trip down to five.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.
