Atriplex patula L., spreading atriplex, A. prostrata Boucher ex DC., halberd-leaved atriplex, and A. rosea L., red scale, are introduced annual weeds occurring in gardens, fields and orchards in various parts of Canada. Red scale is expanding its range in western Canada where plants are abundant enough in some areas to cause hay fever from large amounts of pollen shed in late summer. Spreading atriplex occurs wide-ranging across Canada, it is rare in western Canada and occurs commonly from southern Ontario to Cape Breton Island; halbred-leafed atriplex has a similar distribution pattern but it occurs commonly throughout its range. Both can be weedy in small grains and gardens.Key words: Atriplex, orache, weed biology

Abstract. From a study of 15 grab samples collected from the littoral and sublittoral of the Ikerssuak (Bredefjord) district, SW Greenland, one myodocopid and 18 podocopid ostracod species were recovered. These constitute an indigenous fauna and the majority have been recorded from Greenland before. Leptocythere castanea and Leptocythere lacertosa are new to Greenland, and have not previously been confirmed from the western Atlantic. Copulating pairs of Hemicythere borealis were found in an intertidal embayment near the town of Narssaq. This species reproduced just before the late summer-autumn maximum of primary production in the area, and at the warmest time of the year. Semicytherura nigrescens, which has been recorded previously in SW Greenland, may have a similar distribution pattern to certain Subarctic Mollusca in western Greenland.

Cape Breton Island is a well-known North American tourism destination with long-standing attractions such as the Cabot Trail and more recently developed world-class offerings such as the Cabot Links Golf Course. Tourism contributes significantly to Cape Breton’s economy, particularly since the mid-20th century as traditional resource-based industries have declined. In the 21st century, culinary tourism has become increasingly important to expand the island’s tourism offerings and to provide “authentic” tourism experiences. This study examines local-food tourism in Cape Breton to illuminate its cultural and economic significance. I conducted interviews with food producers, restaurateurs, government representatives, and tourism executives. I also consulted websites and policy documents and compared local stakeholders’ experiences and perspectives with official tourism strategies. Promoting culinary tourism raises questions of power, autonomy, inclusion, and accountability. My study accentuates possibilities for aligning economic and ecological goals to create resilient communities, foster equitable social and ecological relations, and establish Cape Breton as a culinary tourism destination.
