  • Butterfly Memory Game Activity
    UAMN Virtual Early Explorers: Wings Butterfly Memory Game Discover Alaska butterflies with a memory game! Materials Needed: Two color copies of Butterfly Memory Cards (or draw your own), scissors, cardstock, glue. Prepare Your Cards: Print the butterfly memory cards directly on cardstock, or print on plain paper and glue to cardstock. Cut out all 12 pairs (24 cards in total) along the solid lines. How To Play: Lay the 24 cards face-down. Take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards match, the player keeps the pair and goes again. If they don’t match, the player leaves the cards where they are and turns them face-down again. The next player takes their turn. Continue playing until the cards have all been matched and collected. The player with the most pairs is the winner. To adapt the game for younger children, play with fewer pairs. Choose butterflies that look the most different from each other. Look at the butterfly cards and discuss what you see. What kinds of colors, shapes, and sizes do you observe? Observe Butterflies: There are about 80 different species of butterflies in Alaska. keep an eye out for butterflies as the weather gets warmer! Do you recognize any of the butterflies from the game? Right: Canadian Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio canadensis).

It is based on a concatenated alignment of the mitochondrial gene COI and up to 11 nuclear gene fragments, using Bayesian inference of phylogeny. To avoid analytical biases that could result from our region-focus sampling, our European tree was grafted upon a global genus- level backbone butterfly phylogeny for analyses. In addition to a consensus tree, we provide the posterior distribution of trees and the fully-concatenated alignment for future analyses.

Thesis, in Czech.] – 65 p., Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. Annotation: Phylogeography, phylogeny and population structure were studied in two similarly distributed butterflies, the Bog Fritillary (Boloria eunomia) and the Small Pearl- bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene). Sequences of mitochondrial gen for COI and nuclear Wingless and Arginine Kinase were used for analyses, for reconstruction of evolutionary relationships within both species and for comparison of phylogeography patterns.

  • Registration Part 4Opens in New Window
    8. CONSTRUCTION The construction phase will start with the following activities: • removal of any topsoil and vegetation in the following areas: site of crushing and processing facilities, work camp, garage and warehouse near Timmins 1 (±10 ha), in Newfoundland and Labrador; railbed from M353 (Schefferville), in Québec, to Timmins 1 (28 km); existing and new access roads; • in the event that NML is responsible for supplying electricity to its facilities, stringing of conductors along existing poles and replacement of poles where necessary from Schefferville Substation, located in Québec, to new substation in Timmins 1, in Newfoundland and Labrador, a distance of ±13.5 km; • construction, in Newfoundland and Labrador, of a 100-person camp for construction and operations1, including potable water, waste disposal and sewage treatment systems; • installation of temporary diesel-fired generators in Newfoundland and Labrador; • repair and grading of roads in Québec and in Newfoundland and Labrador; • establishment of an aggregate crushing and concrete batch plant in Newfoundland and Labrador. The area near Timmins 1 where the facilities will be built is mainly rocky with light vegetation in places. If any tree-cutting is necessary, it will be minimal. The slashed wood will be piled on-site and will be offered to the local First Nations. 8.1 APPROPRIATE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION PERIOD The time schedule of major activities is shown on Figure 13.1. The proposed total construction period is approximately 15 months. 8.2 PROPOSED START DATE OF FIRST PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ACTIVITY ON SITE The proposed start date of the first physical construction-related activity is July 2009.
