I had quite a long post all typed out this morning in response to that, when our power went out, aargh ... twenty minutes thinking and typing, poof

General gist was, that the Anchorage birch population is isolated from the eastern canadian birch stands .... this separation comes about from the topography between and the rain shadows that result from that topography, making great variance in biogeoclimatic zones .... there's some real contrasts in there, going west to east ... one thing that sticks out, is the glacial history, how there was a relatively ice-free area there during, or at least towards the end of, the last ice age .... and this is how people from Siberia migrated down south, between the ice sheets, following game .... among that game was Ur-horse, Eohippus ... the horse began in the Americas, and became extinct here until re-introduced by Coronado .... there is evidence of this in Old Crow in the Yukon i believe, it was very much in rain shadow ... in studying aboriginal language families much can be deduced of migration, as well

... so then i got rambling on about isolation and the delicate state into which it can put a species ... bla bla bla, just your average output from some doofus typing on a saturday morning .... but Mr John Ragosta, sincerely - GFY

[edit] - wait a minute ... ' ... Fascist Canadian Wasps attacking Cute Cuddly Green Sawfly Larvae!!'

Not so ... consider, they lay their eggs in the larvae of the host - definitely sound like CCFers to me! .. [anybody ever met Tommy Douglas, they know the meaning of 'tiny wasp' -g-]

I'd say it's exactly the opposite. We're under attack by the worst kind of FOs. These leaf miners have reduced our birches to feudal serfdom. Bring on the cute cuddly little wasps! <g>
