Index of Subjects Climatic change & species distributions in our region are well addressed in the recent volume: D.F. McAlpine and I.M. Smith, editors. 2010. Assessment of Species Diversity in the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone. NRC Research Press, Ottawa, Ontario. ISBN-13: 9780660198354 Obtainable for 65.95$ at http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/book/10.1139/9780660198354 Unfort. this very important treatise is not freely available in electronic form. Even a Table of Contents is hard to find so I put one on the NS Wild Flora website: http://nswildflora.ca/lit/docs/SpeciesContents.htm Likely many of the individual articles could be obtained as PDFs from authors. But the book is well worth the $ in my opinion. Quoting John Kearney <john.kearney@ns.sympatico.ca>: > Clearly there are differences of perspective about multiflora roses among > the members of NatureNS. After doing a little internet searching and > checking out the suggested web links people have made, I'm not sure I could > positively identify these different types of roses from our native wild > roses. With climate change, it seems we will have to increasingly face the > question of invasive species and their effects on local ecology and native > species. Are species that spread as result of the climate change (which is > of our doing) different from those that are intentionally or accidentally > introduced by us. Should we also be considering such species as Northern > Cardinals and Red-bellied Woodpeckers as invasive species which could > potentially have a negative impact on native bird populations? > > I would be interested in hearing people's ideas about how we can sort all of > this out in the years ahead. > > John > >
