Moths are largely creatures of the night, which means they may not get as much publicity as their day-flying relative, butterflies. Moths are more diverse than butterflies, probably more abundant, and most certainly play a key role in the natural world. Honestly, moths are some of the coolest insects and we are excited to highlight them in today's episode.Joining us to talk about moths is Dr. David Wagner, an entomologist and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Connecticut. His research focuses on the biosystematics of moths and invertebrate conservation. That means he doesn't only work to understand how moths relate to each other, but also how they interact with the outside world, the threats they face, and how we can work to protect them. He is the author of several books, including Caterpillars of Eastern North America, which won a National Outdoor Book Award in 2006 and is now an app for phones, so you can take Dave's wisdom with you wherever you go.Thank you for listening!

Osisko Metals CEO Robert Wares joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company is set to produce a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Copper Mountain project, part of the larger Gaspé Copper Project in Quebec. The PEA is expected to be released in early Q1 2025 and comes amid a promising outlook for the long-term copper market. Wares explained that the foundation of the PEA will be the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Copper Mountain. The updated MRE includes an open-pit Indicated Resource of 495 million tonnes grading 0.37% copper-equivalent (CuEq). This represents a significant 30% increase in copper-equivalent metal content compared to the previously reported copper-only Inferred Resource. Notably, the conversion rate from Inferred to Indicated category exceeds 99%, showcasing the robustness of the resource. The updated MRE outlines a substantial 3.25 billion pounds of contained copper, excluding additional significant molybdenum and silver resources. The Copper Mountain in-pit Indicated Resource now stands as the largest undeveloped copper asset in Eastern North America, highlighting its strategic importance and potential for future development. To advance this work, Osisko Metals is conducting an 8,000 to 10,000-metre drilling program. This initiative aims to partially define Measured Resources and improve overall grades. Additionally, the drilling will test the potential for near-surface mineralization around the historical Needle Mountain mine, which was the initial operation for Gaspé Copper in the 1950s. Wares emphasized that this comprehensive approach will provide a solid basis for the upcoming PEA, offering insights into the project's economic viability and potential for long-term copper production. The company's strategic focus on detailed resource definition and exploration underscores its commitment to advancing the Gaspé Copper Project and maximizing shareholder value in the burgeoning copper market. #proactiveinvestors #osiskometalsincorporated #tsxv #otcqx #omznf #mining #copper #gaspecopperproject #RobertWares, #Mining, #BaseMetals, #CriticalMetals, #Zinc, #Copper, #PinePoint, #GaspéCopper, #CanadaMining, #MiningProjects, #Glencore, #AppianCapital, #ResourceEstimate, #EnvironmentalStudies, #DrillingProjects, #MiningInvestment, #ShareholderValue, #MetalSupply,#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Robert Layton Beyfuss (1950-2023) was known as the ‘poet of gardening' but he wore many hats. A longtime educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties (retiring in 2009), Bob was also a well-known columnist, widely sharing his knowledge and love of gardening. In addition to being an Internationally Certified Arborist, he is perhaps best remembered as having been a passionate expert on the cultivation of ginseng. His ginseng journey began at Cornell University where he pursued a Masters degree in agriculture, after earning a Bachelors degree in botany from Rutgers University. The title of his Master's Project was “The History, Use and Cultivation of American Ginseng.” American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is perhaps the most valuable non-timber forest crop in Eastern North America. During the course of his career, Bob authored several booklets and fact sheets about the growing of ginseng and mushrooms, including “American Ginseng Production in NY State,” “The Practical Guide to Growing Ginseng,” “Ginseng Production in Woodlots,” and “Companion Planting,” among others. He was also an advocate for forest farming as both a conservation solution and an economic opportunity. Outgoing, opiniated, thoughtful, inspirational, and listener, are some of the adjectives that described Bob. He was also an avid outdoorsman and equally loved the time he spent turkey hunting, fishing, foraging, and gardening in New York, as well as the time he spent fishing, and playing softball. In more recent years, Bob split his time between his homes in Schoharie County, NY and Florida (near his children and grandchildren). Bob Beyfuss' influence and impact on the ginseng industry are immeasurable. His own ginseng activities in New York State and his extensive cooperative extension activities outside the world of ginseng earned him, in 2021, declared a ‘State Treasure of New York”. Anna Plattner, ginseng grower and educator from Wild Hudson Valley, joins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley in a tribute to Bob with this episode being aired on the anniversary of his birth. Anna and her husband, Justin Wexler, manage the field operations of American Ginseng Pharm (AGP), a large-scale agroforestry farm in upstate New York that uses innovative methods to cultivate American ginseng in a way that benefits both humans and the Earth.

In this episode of the Strategy Bridge Podcast, we talk with Wayne Lee about his book “The Cutting-Off Way: Indigenous Warfare in Eastern North America, 1500-1800.” Lee is Bruce W. Carney Professor of History and the University of North Carolina.  

How did Native Americans make war, not with European settlers, but amongst themselves? Historian Wayne E. Lee, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explores this often-neglected question in his book, The Cutting-Off Way: Indigenous Warfare in Eastern North America, 1500-1800 (The University of North Carolina Press, 2023).  The podcast begins with his explanation of the ‘cutting-off' style of fight and retreat that characterized this method of warfare and proceeds to an understanding of the root causes of war among Native Americans including the imperative of “blood revenge.” Lee argues persuasively that wars among natives were endemic yet not of the “no-holds-barred” character of the European type. Also, unlike the Europeans, the Native Americans frowned on prisoner exchanges—prisoners, sometimes tortured, were seen as a measure of a campaign's success—and the natives abjured rape of the enemy's women as an allotted entitlement of war. Such important differences notwithstanding, The Cutting-Off Way also points to timeless principles in warfare, evident in today's bloody conflicts, as when he writes: “The cultural mandate for revenge proved extremely difficult to overcome.” Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January.

Here it is. Another episode of 'Last Week from the Near Future'. This is Episode 007, for Week 49 of 2023. Please support the Near Future Laboratory Podcast and get access to our awesomely vibrant Near Future Laboratory Discord community over on Patreon. Here's what I covered. PDPal: A 20-Year Anniversary I'm taking you on a trip down memory lane as I reminisce about the PDPal project, an emotional GPS I worked on 20 years ago. Discover how it made its way to the Times Square Jumbotron and how this early exploration of technology was an art-led prototyping of the kinds of location-based experiences we now take for granted from mobile devices. What most resonates for me about this project, on reflection, is the critical role of imagination and imaginative art projects in driving innovation. And it occurred to me that this was as good a time as any to reflect on the two major mobile projects I've done in my career, that being PDPal and the OMATA App. Both were done on a bit of a shoestring and with fairly high personal stakes, and both are, I would say and have been told, beautiful and evocative instances of design and engineering. Archigram and Speculative Architecture Archigram! The renowned collective of architects known for their imaginative designs in the 1960s.

This is HATM's 50th episode and I wanted to do something special. This week we are joined by military historian Wayne E. Lee from the University of North Carolina to talk about The Last of the Mohicans and his new book, The Cutting-Off Way: Indigenous Warfare in Eastern North America, 1500-1800. We talk about historical misconceptions of Indigenous warfare, how warfare in the Americas compares to conflict in other parts of the globe, the beauty of North Carolina, and that waterfall scene. About our guest:Wayne Lee specializes in early modern military history, with a particular focus on North America and the Atlantic World, but he teaches military history from a full global perspective at the undergraduate and graduate level. He also teaches courses on violence as well as on the early English exploration of the Atlantic. As a kind of additional career, he works with archaeology projects in the Balkans and has numerous publications in that field. You can find him on twitter at @MilHist_Lee

His research interests generally revolve around factors that influence the dynamics and regeneration of plant communities, and he is also interested in a wide variety of topics in community ecology. We spoke to Scott about the two species that are already functionally lost from Eastern North America's forests—the American chestnut and the American elm—and why these trees serve as cautionary tales for the challenges now facing the eastern hemlock, the white ash, and the sugar maple today. We also discuss what we as citizens need to do to both individually and collectively to protect our forests' future.

*Spoiler Alert* Remember the warm nostalgia of the Barbie doll? Join us as we journey down memory lane with our childhood companion in a conversation with Celine Miranda, 1% for the Planet's Account Manager for Eastern North America, and Tara Jenkins, CEO and Founder of Conscious Revolution. Reflecting on the iconic movie "Barbie", we discuss how these toys have left a lasting impression on us, causing us to explore deeper and challenge our thoughts. Together, we unpack some of the messaging behind the movie, and how it incorporates the past and the present to teach us about empowerment and dreaming big.Transitioning from our childhood memories, we analyze how our reactions to the movie "Barbie" impacted each of us. We consider the cultural and societal implications of this iconic doll and the film. The production value, lack of CGI, and the strategic use of handmade sets are just a few of the aspects we discuss. Moreover, we examine how different the conversation might have been had we grown up in different decades, exploring the impact of Barbie on different generations.Finally, we reflect on the evolution of Barbie, from being a subject of criticism to being a symbol of empowerment through the process of rebranding. We discuss how this movie, and the makeover of Barbie as a character, bridged the gap between the criticisms and the rebranding of the product. We consider the implications of consumer capitalism in the marketing of the movie. Join us as we uncover the gap between our interests and values, and how the movie "Barbie" helps us bridge it.Links from this EpisodeLearn more about 1% for the Planet in our conversation with Celine MirandaLearn about the differences in B Corp Certification and becoming a Benefit Corporation in our conversation with Tara JenkinsUNBOXING BARBIE: A FILMIC ODE TO EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-DISCOVERY - Read our blog about Barbie Visit 1% for the Planet's WebsiteVisit Conscious Revolution's WebsiteDirigo Collective Website

“Here in the South, our grasslands are where most of our, a huge part of our biodiversity are. And most people don't even know that we have natural grasslands in the Southeast…but they were some of the first things to be developed because they were already open. You didn't have to clear them…And so they were lost early on. And all we have now are these small little fragments. Within the last, I'll say seven years now, I've described close to 40 new species of grasshoppers, if we include these seven, from the southeast alone. And 34 of them, probably 35, are grassland inhabitants. So we almost, you know, we're in danger of losing all these species before we even knew they existed. Right here in our backyard in Eastern North America. You think, you know, oh, it's North America. We know, you know, most everything here. Well, we don't.” In this episode, Dr. JoVonn Hill pulls us headfirst into the world of grasshopper research as he tells us about collecting in central Texas. He shares his thoughts on what accessibility in publications can look like, the unique role of scientific illustration, and advises us on the importance of an afternoon Dairy Queen break. JoVonn's paper “Diversification deep in the heart of Texas: seven new grasshopper species and establishment of the Melanoplus discolor species group (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Melanoplinae)” is in issue 1165 of Zookeys.  It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1165.104047 New Species: Melanoplus nelsoni - Nelson's pouncer Melanoplus walkeri - Walker's pouncer Melanoplus susdentatus - Hog-toothed pouncer Melanoplus balcones - Balcones pouncer Melanoplus corniculatus - Antlered pouncer Melanoplus comanche - Comanche pouncer Melanoplus tonkawa - Tonkawa pouncer Episode image courtesy of JoVonn Hill Follow JoVonn on Twitter: @JoVonnH Mississippi State Moth Photographers Group: https://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/ Grasshoppers of North America: Volume 1 and Volume 2 A transcript of this episode can be found here: JoVonn Hill - Transcript Check out our website: www.newspeciespodcast.net Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast) Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom) If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.com If you would like to support this podcast, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is the most common hummingbird in eastern North America.

In this episode of High Theory, Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan talks with us about computer graphics. Emerging from tools for sailing and warmaking, like sea charts and radar, modern computer graphics are technologies of mapping and managing risk. They seem intent on absorbing the human sensorium into the machine. In the episode Bernard refers to computer graphics as “techniques of addressing,” a term he attributes to Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal. He also uses the term “operational images” which comes from the work of Harun Farocki, and talks about SAGE, the US Government's Cold War era Semi-Automatic Ground Environment Air Defense System. Bernard references Paul Edward's book A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press, 2013). He also mentions the German scholar Christoph Borbach who has written on auditory computer interfaces, and American disability studies scholar Mara Mills, who has written on the Deaf history of computing. He was kind enough to give us an extensive bibliography on this topic, which is posted below. Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan is a reader in the History and Theory of Digital Media at King's College London. He has a brand new book out on the cybernetic history of French theory, called Code: From Information Theory to French Theory (Duke UP, 2023). Kim met him when he came to give a talk at the Stanford Humanities Center in January 2023. He wore denim and had a slightly manic affect. People came all the way from Berkeley to hear what he had to say, which is quite impressive in the Bay Area. This week's image is a radar loop of the December 16 2007 Eastern North America winter storm, found on Wikimedia Commons. The loop runs from Saturday Morning at 7 AM (Dec 15) to Sunday Night at 7 PM (Dec 16). The image is in the public domain because it was made by someone who works for the National Weather Service.

Osisko Metals (TSX-V:OM) president and chief operating officer Jeff Hussey tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company is a unique opportunity in the critical metals space with the development of its Pine Point zinc project in the Northwest Territories and the Gaspé Copper Mine in Quebec. Pine Point historically produced among the world's cleanest sphalerite and galena concentrates with very low impurities, while Gaspé Copper hosts the largest undeveloped copper resource in Eastern North America, he says. Hussey believes there's likely to be a rerating of base and critical metals due to supercycle demand for base and critical metals. #ProactiveInvestors #OsiskoMetals #Gaspé #PinePoint #TSX

Have you heard the buzz about pollinators? Bees, butterflies, wasps, and even some flies live fascinating lives and play critical roles in our ecosystems. Come learn why we should make more room for pollinators in our yards and how to do it. Guests:Rachel Taylor, Volunteer Research Associate for the Southwest Monarch Study and Administrator of the Utah Friends of Monarchs Facebook pageJoseph (Joe) Wilson, Associate Professor of Biology, Utah State Univ; co-author of several books, including "Common Bees of Eastern North America" and "The Bees in Your Backyard: A Guide to North America's Bees"

OM.V 4 Aug 2022, 08:19 Osisko Metals Reports First Infill Drill Results at Gaspé Copper Highlights include: Of the sixteen drill holes reported below, fourteen extended disseminated/stockwork copper-silver mineralization outside the current pit-constrained resource model, including up to 170 metres in drill hole 30-0991 below the currently designed pit floor. All fourteen holes ended in mineralization above or within the C Zone skarn horizon. Drill hole 30-0977, located 142.0 metres south of the modelled pit, intersected 375.3 metres grading 0.20% Cu and 1.31g/t Ag. This hole stopped in mineralization and can be extended if warranted. Drill hole 30-0985 intersected 528.0 metres grading 0.26% Cu and 1.72g/t Ag, including 46.5 metres grading 1.1% Cu and 6.19g/t Ag in skarn-style disseminated mineralization in the C Zone. This hole extends 122.0 m below the currently designed pit floor and stopped in mineralization. Robert Wares, Chairman & CEO, commented: “We are very pleased with the initial results of our 30,000-metre drill program at Gaspé Copper. Most of the reported results are from holes collared on top of Mount Copper, where historical drilling was relatively scarce. We can now confirm that this area is mineralized with limited oxide copper and that the potential for further expansion of the deposit appears to be significant as most of these holes ended in mineralization. With four drill rigs on site currently, I am excited to build upon what is already the largest undeveloped copper resource in Eastern North America.” About Osisko Metals Osisko Metals Incorporated is a Canadian exploration and development company creating value in the critical metals space. The Company controls one of Canada's premier past-producing zinc mining camps, the Pine Point Project, located in the Northwest Territories for which the 2022 PEA has indicated an after-tax NPV of $603M and an IRR of 25% based on the current Mineral Resource Estimates that are amenable to open pit and shallow underground mining and consist of 15.7Mt grading 5.55% ZnEq of Indicated Mineral Resources and 47.2Mt grading 5.94% ZnEq of Inferred Mineral Resources. Please refer to the technical report entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment, Pine Point Project, Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada” dated July 30, which has been filed on SEDAR.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 4-15-22. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of April 18, 2022.  This update of an episode from July 2017 is part of a series this year of episodes related to trees and shrubs. MUSIC – ~14 sec That's part of “The Ash Grove,” a traditional Welsh tune performed by Madeline MacNeil, on her 2002 album, “Songs of Earth & Sea.”  Born in Norfolk and raised in Richmond, Ms. MacNeil was a well-known and highly regarded musician based in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley until her passing in 2020. The music opens an episode where we revisit the status of North American ash trees and explore the water impacts of pest damage to trees generally. As noted in the July 2017 episode on ashes, North America is home to 16 native ash species, with six of those occurring naturally in Virginia.  The two most common ash species in Virginia are White Ash, which tends toward upland habitats, and Green Ash, which is often found along streams and rivers.  In those areas, Green Ash can be a significant portion of the vegetation and help create habitats, improve water quality, and stabilize flows.  Both species provide food for a variety of animals and both have been widely planted in cities and towns. Since the early 2000s, ash tree populations have been devastated by the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle native to Asia.  As of April 2022, the insect had been found in at least 35 states and the District of Columbia, and in nearly all of Virginia.  In an affected tree, the insect's larvae create a network of tunnels that impair the tree's transport of water and nutrients, eventually killing the tree.  Once an area's invaded, ashes are unlikely to survive for more than a few years without expensive chemical treatment of individual trees.  At the scale of whole forests, researchers and managers are exploring the use of parasitoid wasps as a biological control method. The Emerald Ash Borer is only one of many pest species threatening different trees in Virginia and elsewhere.  Several of these pests have been the subject of research on their water-related, or hydrologic, impacts.  Researchers are interested in how loss of tree leaves or death of trees can affect evaporation, soil moisture, water-table levels, streamflows, water chemistry, and snowpack.  Those water-cycle processes are in turn connected to ecosystem pathways of carbon, nutrients, and energy, all being affected by climate changes.  From all of these connections, little ash-boring beetles become part of a biosphere-sized story. Thanks to Janita Baker of Blue Lion Dulcimers and Guitars for permission to use Madeline MacNeil's music,” and we close with about 25 more seconds of “The Ash Grove.” MUSIC – ~24 sec – instrumental.

From Background Tab: “After only 1-5 years of infestation, the larvae create extensive tunnels under the bark that disrupt the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients, which eventually girdles and kills the tree. The length of this process depends on tree age, health, and EAB density in the area but no ash tree is safe - 99% of infested ash will die.” From Distribution Tab: “In the U.S., EAB targets 16 species of native ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) and white fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus).  In Virginia, white ash (Fraxinus americana) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) are the most commonly found, though there are four other species that have limited ranges (pumpkin, black, blue, and Carolina ash). In the wild, ash often prefers wetter environments and are dominant species along rivers and streambanks.  Ash decline and death may have a negative impact on streambank stabilization and waterways in these rural areas.  Though only a small percentage of Virginia's forests are composed of ash (2-3%), urban areas can have tree inventories tallying up to 13% ash.  This is where dead ash poses the most risk!” From Biological Control Tab: “Biological control (or “biocontrol”) is a management strategy that involves releasing natural enemies from the pest's native range to control the pest at a given location.  Researchers identified wasps in the early 2000s from Eastern Asia that had co-evolved with emerald ash borers as a parasite to control its populations.  They then conducted extensive research in quarantined U.S. labs to study their life cycle, environmental parameters, and host species.  After nearly a decade of trials, only four wasp species passed the strict requirements set by the USDA-APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) and were approved for release.  APHIS now rears these wasps in large quantities then collaborates with federal, state, and local governments, as well as land owners to release them at approved sites.  These tiny stingless wasps lay eggs in EAB eggs or larvae, effectively killing the EAB host, and are commonly called “parasitoids.” ...These wasps do not harm humans in any way, they only target emerald ash borer as a host. The use of these biocontrol agents in suppressing EAB has shown promising results, but it will take years of controlled releases and research before we see successful parasitism and a reduction of the EAB population.” SOURCES Used for Audio Samuel H.

This week, we're discussing one of the most terrifying entities from Native American folklore: The Wendigo. Tales of a perpetually starving monster roaming the forests of Eastern North America. The Wendigo originates in the lore of tribes like the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Algonquin. Its name roughly translates to "the evil spirit that devours mankind". An obvious boogeyman to battle against the prevalence of cannibalism during this extremely difficult period in human history. Additionally, we cover a few unsettling accounts of wendigo psychosis, including the case of Swift Runner and an account of two genuine, dead to rights wendigo hunters. Strap in for this one. It's a lot. CANNIBALISM WAS DEFINITELY THAT MUCH OF A THING!Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week. This week's episode includes the following sensitive content:Descriptions/Sound of the Following:Extreme Graphic Violence CannibalismViolence Against ChildrenViolence Against InfantsSpousal ViolenceAnimal AttacksCorpse AbuseRitualistic Corpse DesiccationStarvationGunshotsCheck it Out!The Manitous: The Spiritual World of the Ojibway (Native Voices)https://www.amazon.com/dp/0873514114/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G26M5ZMVJ7XGPGGY4394The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H95RHF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KGPXC62E60XE799GBT2ZWendigo Lore: Monsters, Myths, and Madness by Chad Lewishttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1733802614/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_15TK2CRVQJ8Z0G621A1DAdverts!The Celestial Alien Oracle Deckhttps://instagram.com/celestialalienoracle?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettlingSatisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702Join the conversation on social media atwww.campfirepodcastnetwork.com Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rzInstagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcastGoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplbTwitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcastVisit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info:https://linktr.ee/CampfirepodcastSpecial Thanks:Gregg Martin for music contributions!

Andrew S. Methven Emeritus Professor of Biological Sciences Eastern Illinois University While most people are scouring the woods for morels in the Spring, there is a treasure trove of other fungi that are often overlooked or ignored in our haste to find food for the table. This talk will focus on some of the fungi, including morels and false morels, which are encountered in Midwestern forests in spring and early summer. You will see images of edible fungi, fascinating pathogens, and a number of fungi which are ecologically important or mycologically interesting. Andrew Methven is emeritus professor of mycology and lichenology at Eastern Illinois University. He has taught courses in mycology, lichenology, medical mycology, and field mycology, and curated the Cryptogamic Herbarium (with more than 15,000 collections of fungi and lichens). Included among his research interests are systematics and ecology of fungi, mycogeography, the application of molecular techniques to fungal systematics, and the identification and distribution of lichens in Eastern North America. His research program has examined the distribution of the mushroom genus Lactarius in the Western Hemisphere, the utilization of biological species concepts in systematics studies of fungi, and the application of molecular techniques to phylogenetic studies in Clavariadelphus, Lentaria, and Macrotyphula. Recent research projects involving undergraduate and graduate students have examined: The effects of sugar maple removal on the occurrence and distribution of fleshy fungi from endemic oak-hickory forests; the occurrence and distribution of fungal endophytes in sugar maple leaves; systematics and ecology of rust fungi on endemic plants; the use of lichens to assess habitat restoration in fragmented forest ecosystems; fungi which inhabit Spartina (cord grass) in the estuaries of coastal Georgia and North Carolina; and, more recently, systematic studies of species complexes in Gyromitra.

Eastern North America and eastern Asia share a surprising amount of plant lineages. Termed the "eastern Asian–eastern North American floristic disjunction," this phenomenon has fascinated botanists for centuries. Interestingly, eastern Asia usually boasts more representatives of these shared genera than North America and our guest today has spent some time trying to figure out why. Joining us is Dr. Anthony Melton, an evolutionary biologist who uses phylogenetics to explain the evolutionary history of these shared floras. Tune in and learn just how similar and different these two floras can be!

Scalper. Voilà un terme qui ne laisse guère d'ambiguïté. On évoque souvent le scalp pour parler de la « sauvagerie » des « sauvages» comme on dit à l'époque. On présente les premières nations comme violentes et inhumaines et on se sert du scalp pour prouver la chose.

Welcome to Episode 49 of the Make America Grape Again Podcast, where we explore The Palmetto State, South Carolina.  Our wine focus for this episode is the Lowcountry Red from Deep Water Vineyard, located on Wadmalaw Island.  The Lowcountry Red is made from 100% Ison grapes; a red muscadine varietal, grown in Charleston County, South Carolina. In this episode, featuring Peter and Sophia Gardner, we focus not only on the history of wine in South Carolina, but upon the use and theology of wine within the Eastern Orthodox Church which the three of us have in common. You see, Ison--the grape varietal used in this vintage--shares the same name as a major feature of Byzantine Chant... We also talk about synesthesia and wine tasting, which is a fascinating examination of just how subjective wine description can be-complete with how this wine tastes in song form. The modern wine industry of South Carolina begins in 1953, with the establishment of Tenner Brothers, which focused on muscadine varietals.  Next to open was Truluck vineyards in 1978.  The owner, Jim Truluck, was instrumental in getting a farm winery bill passed in 1980, which allowed tastings and sales of wine on estate premises.  Despite this, he closed his winery in December of 1990. Most ambitious was the attempt made by Oakview Plantation in Woodruff; to make a 600,000-gallon winery.  Sadly, as this was prior to the farm winery bill, wholesalers opposed the winery.  Montmorenci vineyards opened in Aiken in July 1990, and as of the writing of Wines of Eastern North America, by Hudson Cattell, was the oldest still-operating winery in the state.  Deep Water Vineyard, formerly Irvin-House Vineyard, opened in 2012, and is situated on 48 acres of muscadine varietals. Wine in South Carolina, like most of the deep south, is a difficult proposition. Hot and humid summers require growers to adapt their forms of canopy management so as to minimize direct sunlight on the grapes,  Furthermore, these grapes are often harvested earlier in the summer, to avoid possible risk from Hurricanes which can strike later in the season. This humid climate in the lowlands of South Carolina means that most grapes grown in the state are muscadine varietals (such as in this particular case). There are also many fruit wines being made in the state. A few vineyards located in the mountains are growing vinifera varietals.  Currently, the state has approximately 21 wineries, and there are no American Viticultural Areas in South Carolina. This bottle was kindly donated for use in the podcast by Deep Water Vineyard themselves after I reached out to them. Thank you for providing this fantastic vintage!

On December 5, William C. Wooldridge delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Mapping Virginia: Pictures of a Moving Place, 1587-1783." Drawing from the engaging images in Mapping Virginia: From the Age of Discovery to the Civil War, Bill Wooldridge shows the very different ways that cartographers, and by implication their audiences, conceived of Virginia from generation to generation from the sixteenth century through the Revolutionary War. Until the mid-eighteenth century, these changing visions of Virginia had only a distant connection to changes in the colony's legal boundaries. Instead, they reflected the Old World's evolving understanding of the place, from exotic Eden to much of Eastern North America to the country around Chesapeake Bay to imperial England's greatest province. William C. Wooldridge, a retired attorney and current VHS trustee, is the author of Mapping Virginia and of several articles on cartographic history. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
