Lake Agassiz

A crude stone chopper and a worked left antler fragment have been recovered from Lake Agassiz II beds near Morson, Rainy River District, Ontario. The stone chopper resembles other stone implements surface collected in Rainy River District. The antler fragment is identified as probably Alces alces, and has been dated by 14C at 5 898 B.C. ± 423 years. The antler fragment shows two opposed dorsal and ventral grooves and other signs of working by Homo, the toolmarks in the grooves and on the shaped surfaces suggesting the use of a beaver-tooth adze and a hand ax respectively. This is believed to be the oldest dated report of North American Alces coeval with Homo.

Winter Tick

We evaluated the suitability of four species of North American Cervidae as hosts for the winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) by comparing the numbers and weights of engorged female ticks recovered from experimentally infested moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus elaphus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Each host was exposed to approximately equivalent infestations (~1 larva/cm2). A higher percentage of ticks were recovered as engorged females from moose (8.0%) than from elk (0.23%) or mule deer (0.60%). No engorged female ticks were recovered from white-tailed deer. Female ticks engorged on moose were larger (0.533 ± 0.169 (SD) g) than those engorged on elk (0.414 ± 0.136 g) or mule deer (0.418 ± 0.138 g). Alopecia occurred on all infested animals but was extensive only on moose. Our findings support field data suggesting that moose are the most important and the most severely affected hosts of winter ticks.
