Download2007
Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Dewailly, Eric, Risica, Patricia M., Jørgensen, Marit E., Ebbesson, Sven E. O.
"Objectives: We investigated the prevalence of obesity and the metabolic correlates of different levels of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference among the Inuit in 3 countries. Methods: Data from 4 surveys of Inuit in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska conducted during 1990–2001 were pooled,...

Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Lantz, T.C.
An apparently exindusiate filicalean fern with radial sori, sporangia with a vertical annulus, and monolete spores occurs in Paleocene sediments ca. 57 million years old of central Alberta, Canada. Specimens are preserved as coalified compressions and show features of frond morphology and...

Little, S. A., Stockey, R. A., Rothwell, G. W.
The discovery of two anatomically preserved rhizomes with attached stipe bases and adventitious roots contributes to our knowledge of filicalean fern diversity and evolution. Specimens are preserved in marine carbonate nodules at the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay...

Subfossil bryophytes in eastern Beringia: their paleoenvironmental and phytogeographical significance
Download1981
Doctoral thesis. Bryophytes, more particularly mosses, are used in the paleoenvironmental reconstruction and historical biogeography of eastern Beringia, an area including Alaska and the Yukon. The Old Crow Basin in northern Yukon was studied in detail. // Appendix 2: Subfossil bryophytes...
