Sedimentary history and tectonic evolution of the Sustut and Sifton basins, north-central British Columbia

This article discusses collaborative research with the Office of the Wet'suwet'en Nation on their traditional territories in north-central British Columbia, Canada, a forest-dependent region where contemporary and traditional forest resources management regimes overlap. In-depth personal interviews with the hereditary chiefs and concept mapping were used to identify social-ecological linkages in Wet'suwet'en culture to inform the development of culturally sensitive social criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management (SFM) in this region. The preliminary results demonstrate how the CatPac II software tool can be applied to identify key component concepts and linkages in local definitions of SFM, and translate large volumes of (oral) qualitative data into manageable information resources for forest managers and decision-makers. Key words: social criteria and indicators, sustainable forest management, qualitative research, Wet'suwet'en

Late Early Jurassic heteroporid bryozoa occur in arenaceous carbonates near Turnagain Lake, north-central British Columbia. The occurrence of Heteropora tipperi n. sp. marks the first documentation of Early Jurassic cyclostome bryozoa in North America. The associated fauna, comprising the ammonite Harpoceras, the foraminifer Reinholdella, and the pelecypod Weyla, establish the age as Early Toarcian. Other associated biota include an endolithic green alga(e), which is demonstrated to have a commensal relationship with H. tipperi n. sp. Sedimentologic and biotic data from the host strata point to a shallow, temperate, high-energy, normal marine environment.

White Pine Weevil

White pine weevil (Pissodesstrobi (Peck)) damage in three interior spruce open-pollinated progeny tests in north central British Columbia was evaluated to examine the patterns of attack among families. While the overall incidence of damage was different across sites (i.e., Quesnel 9%, Red Rock 37%, and Aleza Lake 63%), correlations on a family-mean basis (percentage attacked per family) at Red Rock and Quesnel as well as Red Rock and Aleza Lake were significant (r = 0.63 and 0.71, respectively). Estimates of family heritability across sites for damage was high (hf = 0.77 ± 0.11), but individual heritability was only moderate (hi = 0.18 ± 0.03). More vigorous families, as determined by 10-year family mean height superiority prior to weevil attack, were damaged less frequently than those with average and poorer performance. Negative correlations of mean family height at 10 years of age with incidence of damage (on a family-mean basis) and mean family diameter with incidence of damage were significant (r = −0.51 and −0.44, respectively). These data suggest that there is a moderate genetic basis for resistance to weevil attack in interior spruce and that selection for height and diameter growth may improve resistance to weevil attack.
