Swan Lake

A study of the autumn food habits of ducks and coots at Swan lake, British Columbia, based on the examination of 136 stomachs and on co-related field work, indicates the following conclusions: pond ducks had eaten 78% plant material, 12% Chara, and 10% animal organisms; the food of diving ducks was 65% plant material, 31% Chara, and 15% animal matter; while that of coots was 97% Chara and 3% plant material. Chara is the dominant growth in the lake. It is produced in unlimited quantities so that the food requirements of coots do not seriously compete with those of ducks.

In an article published in the Geological Magazine for August, 1888, an outline was presented of some facts resulting from recent investigations on the glaciation of British Columbia and adjacent regions, bearing more particularly on the flow of ice in a northerly direction brought to light by explorations in the Yukon district, but touching also on the south-eastern extension of the great western glacier-mass of the continent, which I have proposed to name the Cordilleran glacier. Field-work carried out by me during the summer of 1888 has resulted in the accumulation of many new facts relating to the southern part of the area, which was at one time covered by the Cordilleran glacier, from which it would appear that it may ultimately be possible not only to trace the various stages in the recession of the main front of the great confluent glacier beneath which the interior or plateau region of British Columbia was buried, but even to follow the later stages of its decline as it became broken up into numerous local glaciers confined to the valleys of the several mountain ranges which limit the plateau.

This chapter poses an innovative framework that can be utilized as a model for study abroad experiences, particularly those situated in developing countries. The model enhances a service learning structure by grounding both classroom study and related field work in the theoretical foundations of critical pedagogy, transformational learning theory, ecological systems theory and critical theory in a manner that sets the stage for success for study abroad students and in-country community members alike. The chapter concludes with a recommended plan for implementation of the framework as well as suggestions for optimizing sustainable outcomes for teachers as they begin work in classrooms of their own.

In 1951 to 1955 Mr. N. H. Anderson of the Belleville laboratory, and Mr. C. V. G. Morgan, Entomology Laboratory, Summerland, B.C., collected plant material in southern British Columbia to investigate the distribution there of phytoseiid mites. Many phytoseiids in this material were apparently undescribed, and in 1956 the author collected further specimens. Nine undescribed forms were found; descriptions of these are given below, with a key for identifying the adult females of all phytoseiid species known to occur in British Columbia. The new species all are of the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten, 1957, as defined by Chant (in preparation). The mites were cleared in chloral hydrate or lactic acid and mointed in Berlese's fluid; but some were mounted directly in De Faure's fluid. The measurements given are of the greatest lengths and widths of the dorsal and ventri-anal shields, and whenever possible are the means for 10 specimens. The setal terminology of Garman (1948) and Nesbitt (1951) is followed. All specimens referred to were collected in British Columbia unless otherwise stated.

And Task

The present study was undertaken to examine empirically the proposition that specialization in jobs negatively affects the organizational commitment of industrial blue-collar workers. The field work for this study was done among 377 production workers in six companies in Vancouver, British Columbia. The analysis of the data indicated clearly that workers in highly specialized jobs tended to be less committed to their employing organization than workers working on less specialized jobs. In addition, it was observed that task repetition and task simplification were, respectively, inversely related to workers' willingness to exert effort for the success of the employing organization and to workers* desire to remain in the employing organization for an indefinite period of time.
