A comparison is made of the growth, morphometry, age at maturity, food, and depth distribution of pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulteri) in four British Columbia lakes. In Tacheeda and Cluculz Lakes where the species is of the usual dwarfed variety, the fish exists sympatrically with two other whitefishes, the mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) and the lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis). These slow-growing pygmy whitefish differ markedly in morphometry and depth distribution from the "giant" pygmy whitefish of McLeese and Maclure Lakes which live in the absence of other whitefishes. The possibility that differences in the populations might be due to interspecific competition is discussed.

The percentage of shoots that originated from polycyclic growth in first-order branches and branch numbers in upper annual segments of leader growth were determined from trees of seven provenances of Pinuscontorta Dougl. ssp. latifolia Engelm. from British Columbia and the Yukon, growing in a provenance trial at Prince George, B.C. The number of first-order branches varied among provenances and year of growth and was related to the frequency of extra cycles. The percentage of polycyclic shoots was greatest in the 2nd to 4th years of branch growth, although this varied with year and provenance. Total branch numbers were influenced mostly by variation in first- and second-order branch numbers. Second-order branch numbers were greatest in the second and third segments of leader growth (from the top down), but this was influenced by year of growth and provenance. The high levels of second-order branching corresponded to the greater frequency of polycyclic branches in these positions. The fast-growing southern provenance had the most branches, while the slow-growing Yukon source had the least. The slower-growing provenances had the most first-order branches per unit height.

AbstractThe European pine shoot moth developed successfully on native lodgepole and ponderosa pines at central Oregon locations. Lodgepole and slow-growing ponderosa pine less than 6 ft in height were most susceptible to damage. Largely because of low winter temperatures, interior British Columbia, northern Washington, northeastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas are not likely to experience Rhyacionia buoliana (Schiff.) damage. In contrast, southern Oregon and northern California pine stands are highly susceptible.

Evidence Based Treatments

The recent increase in the aging population, specifically in the United States, has raised concerns regarding treatment for mental illness among older adults. Late-life depression (LLD) is a complex condition that has become widespread among the aging population. Despite the availability of behavioral interventions and psychotherapies, few depressed older adults actually receive treatment. In this paper we review the research on refining treatments for LLD. We first identify evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for LLD and the problems associated with efficacy and dissemination, then review approaches to conceptualizing mental illness, specifically concepts related to brain plasticity and the Research Domain Criteria (RDoc). Finally, we introduce ENGAGE as a streamlined treatment for LLD and discuss implications for future research.
