Purpose - This research aims to contribute to the analysis of the information needs, preferences, and behaviors of home cooks and how libraries can serve this user group. Methodology - This study uses a literature review for background and includes new research using online surveys. The research used 31 anonymous home cooks in the USA who describe their information needs, preferences, and behaviors when in the process of gourmet cooking. Findings - Home cooks seek recipes that meet specific needs such as quick, budget-friendly, child-friendly, special occasions, personal preference, portable, and ethnic foods. To find information, home cooks use the All Recipes, Food Network, Epicurious, or Google websites; Cooking Light, Southern Living, or Real Simple magazine subscriptions; and Barefoot Contessa, 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray, or other Food Network channel television shows. Practical Implication - This study can serve as a guide to libraries in order to improve their services for home cook users.

AbstractMorphological, distributional, and habitat data are presented for North American species of the three genera of the subfamily Neomamersinae, Neomamersa Lundblad, 1953, Arizonacarus gen.nov., and Meramecia Cook, 1963. Neomamersa lundbladi lundbladi Cook, N. lundbladi paucipora Cook, and N. hexapora Cook are redescribed based on examination of types and newly collected specimens, and six new species of Neomamersa from the United States are described, namely N. boultoni sp.nov., N. psammicola sp.nov., N. californica sp.nov., N. chihuahua sp.nov., N. neomexicana sp.nov., and N. cramerae sp.nov. Arizonacarus chiricahuensis gen.nov., sp.nov. is described from the southwestern United States. Meramecia (Meramecia) anisitsipalpis (Cook), M. (Meramecia) perplexa (Cook), and M. (Meramecia) ocularis (Cook) are redescribed based on study of types and newly collected specimens, and M. (Meramecia) occidentalis sp.nov. is described from the western United States. Meramecia (Parameramecia) multipora subgen.nov., sp.nov. is also described from the southwestern United States. Revised diagnoses, keys, and distribution maps are presented for all North American taxa. Phylogenetic relationships of Neomamersinae are discussed, leading to the conclusion that comprehensive reassessment of the families Limnesiidae and Anisitsiellidae is warranted. Consideration of available phylogenetic and distributional data suggests that Neomamersinae originated in Gondwanaland before the separation of India from the rest of the southern supercontinent. Subsequently, the clade evolved and diversified extensively in South America. Neomamersinae apparently first entered North America either by crossing a "filter bridge" during late Cretaceous, Paleocene, or Miocene times or by traversing the corridor established with the formation of the Panamanian Isthmus during the late Pliocene. The group exhibits considerable taxonomic diversity in hyporheic and groundwater habitats in the United States, and the various species represent potentially useful indicators of water quality and the impact of environmental changes on freshwater communities.

The California milliped genus Xystocheir Cook, occurring along the Pacific Coast and the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, comprises nine species, three being divided into a total of seven subspecies; the species are combined into four species-groups named for the oldest component. Xystocheir dissecta (Wood), abundant around San Francisco – San Pablo and Monterey bays, comprises intergrades, one true subspecies, and two apparent semispecies that are treated as subspecies; additionally, a local population in southern Mendocino County has achieved reproductive isolation and attained species status. Two new combinations, X. reducta (Causey) and X. modestior (Chamberlin), are proposed, along with the following new synonymies: Paimokia Chamberlin under Xystocheir, X. acuta Cook, X. francisca and X. milpitas, both by Chamberlin, and Cheirauxus sapiens Chamberlin under X. d. dissecta, new status; and Delocheir conservata and D. dalea, both by Chamberlin, under X. dissecta taibona Chamberlin, new status. The following new species-group taxa are diagnosed: the subspecies Xystocheir dissecta microrama, Xystocheir modestior haerens, and Xystocheir stolonifera uncinata, and the species X. prolixorama, X. solenofurcata, X. brachymacris, X. stenomacris, X. bistipita, and X. stolonifera.

A newly discovered vertebrate fossil assemblage, the Casa Blanca local fauna, comes from the Laredo Formation, Claiborne Group, of Webb County, Texas, and is the first reported Eocene land-mammal fauna from the coastal plain of North America. The mammalian fauna is correlated with the Serendipity and Candelaria local faunas of west Texas, the Uinta C faunas of the Rocky Mountains, the Santiago Formation local fauna of southern California, and the Swift Current Creek local fauna of Saskatchewan. The vertebrate-bearing deposit lies approximately 32 m above a horizon containing the marine gastropod Turritella cortezi, which ranges from east Texas to northeast Mexico in the lower half of the Cook Mountain and Laredo Formations and is a guide fossil for the Hurricane Lentil in the Cook Mountain Formation. Nannoplankton found in these middle Eocene formations belong to the upper half of Nannoplankton Zone 16 and allow correlation with European beds of late Lutetian to early Bartonian age.Over 700 specimens represent at least 30 species of 28 mammal genera. The Casa Blanca fauna is the southernmost and easternmost North American land-mammal fauna of definite Eocene age, and is the westernmost Paleogene vertebrate fauna from the Gulf Coastal Plain.

IntroductionSalt intake in China is twice the upper limit recommended by the WHO, and nearly 80% of salt is added during cooking. This study will develop a package of salt reduction interventions targeting home cooks and evaluate its effectiveness and feasibility for scale-up.Methods and analysisA cluster randomised controlled trial design is adopted in this study, which will be conducted in six provinces covering northern, central and southern China. For each province, 10 communities/villages (clusters) with 13 families (one cook and one adult family member) will be selected in each cluster for evaluation. In total, 780 home cooks and 780 adult family members will be recruited. The home cooks in the intervention group will be provided with the intervention package, including community-based standardised offline and online health education and salt intake monitoring. The duration of the intervention will be 1 year. The primary outcome is the difference between the intervention and control group in change in salt intake as measured by 24 hours urinary sodium from baseline to the end of the trial. The secondary outcome is the difference between the two groups in the change in salt-related knowledge, attitude and practice and blood pressure (BP).Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by The Queen Mary Research Ethics Committee (QMERC2018/13) and Institutional Review Board of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (No. 201801). The study findings will be disseminated widely through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications and the general media.Trial registration numberChiCTR1800016804.

Two new genera of Eriococcidae, Intecticoccus Kondo and Orafortis Hardy, each with a new species (I. viridis Kondo and O. luma Hardy), are described and illustrated based on the adult females. I. viridis was collected on Nothofagus antarctica (Nothofagaceae) in Argentina and Chile, and O. luma was collected in Chile on Amomyrtus luma (Myrtaceae). Based on a phylogenetic analysis of SSU rDNA (18S) sequence data, I. viridis and O. luma are placed within the Gondwanan group of eriococcids (sensu Cook & Gullan 2004), which also includes other Nothofagus-feeding genera such as Chilechiton Hodgson & Miller, Chilecoccus Miller & González and Madarococcus Hoy. Major genera within the Gondwanan group that feed on other plant groups include Lachnodius Maskell, Opisthoscelis Schrader and some species currently assigned to Eriococcus Targioni Tozzetti. We consider that I. viridis and O. luma are each sufficiently distinct from other named taxa to warrant erection of two new genera. DNA data do not support a relationship of Chilechiton with the New Zealand genus Eriochiton Maskell. A revised taxonomic key to the adult females of Eriococcidae known from Chile is provided.

AbstractMorphological, life history, and distributional data are presented for North American species of the genus Chelomideopsis Romijn. Chelomideopsis brunsoni (Cook) and C. besselingi (Cook) are redescribed on the basis of larvae, deutonymphs, and adults. Larvae and female adults of C. brunsoni, and deutonymphs of both of these species, are described for the first time. The mite described by Cook (1955) as the allotype female of C. brunsoni is correctly identified as a female of Platyhydracarus juliani Smith (1989). Four new species are described as follows: C. occidentalis sp.nov. (deutonymphs and adults), C. siskiyouensis sp.nov. (adults), C. minuta sp.nov. (female adults), and C. gledhilli sp.nov. (adults). A new diagnosis is proposed for Chelomideopsis based on knowledge of all active instars. New hypotheses on the phylogeny of species of the genus are presented, permitting the first assessment of zoogeography in this group of mites. The genus probably originated in Laurasia during the late Cretaceous or early Tertiary, and diversified and became widely dispersed in North America and Eurasia during the Tertiary. Mites of the genus apparently were adapted for the temperate climate that persisted until late Tertiary times, and were displaced to southern refugial areas by habitat destruction and climatic cooling associated with episodes of Pleistocene glaciation. The various species are now beginning to reinvade recently deglaciated areas from their Wisconsinan refugia, as they and their host chironomids colonize suitable spring and small stream habitats.

SummaryFossils and other evidence from the Southern Cook Islands show that the Rimatara Lorikeet Vini kuhlii, known as the Kura, was widespread in the group during prehistoric times and, it was probably extirpated due to exploitation for its red feathers. Today, it survives only on Rimatara in the Austral Islands, where it is known as the ‘Ura. On Rimatara during 5-11 August 1992 we saw/heard 263 ‘Ura, and estimated the total population at 900 birds. The mixed horticultural belt, about 32% of the island, was the most favoured habitat at 2.2 birds ha1 and it supported about 61% of the total population. The species was uncommon in the coastal coconut plantations and central hills, and rare in the makatea/feo. Rats, especially Rattus rattus, have often been associated with the loss of forest birds on oceanic islands and R. rattus is thought to be responsible for the decline in other lorikeets of French Polynesia. A preliminary trapping study located R. norvegicus and R. exulans, but not R. rattus. The highest conservation priority should be given to confirming the absence of R. rattus on Rimatara and the implementation of a major quarantine programme to ensure that it is not accidentally introduced. We recommend reintroducing the lorikeet to islands within its former natural range.

Abstract: COVID-19 began to manifest in the Pacific Islands by early March 2020, starting in the US and French territories, spreading slowly to the independent countries of Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. All of the independent Pacific countries responded with aggressive measures, closing borders and establishing curfews. Against this background, Tropical Cyclone Harold, formed on April Fool's Day, began its devastating path through four Pacific countries: Solomon Islands with 27 dead in a ferry accident; Vanuatu whose northern islands, including Santo and Malekula were devastated by the cyclone with wind speeds greater than 200 km/h. The devastation continued in Fiji, with two tornadoes and devastation particularly in Kadavu and the southern Lau group. Tropical Cyclone Harold struck Tonga at the height of the king tide. COVID-19 continues to complicate relief efforts, particularly in Vanuatu. As of May 3, 2020, sixteen Pacific countries and territories had yet to report their first confirmed case of COVID-19: American Samoa, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Pitcairn, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna. The Pacific continues to lead by example motivated by collective stewardship with actions and policies based on science. Pacific leaders continue to work with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to implement COVID-19 management recommendations.

In the summer of 1978, the B-52's conquered the New York underground. A year later, the band's self-titled debut album burst onto the Billboard charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination. Soon, more Athens bands followed the B-52's into the vanguard of the new American music that would come to be known as "alternative," including R.E.M., who catapulted over the course of the 1980s to the top of the musical mainstream. As acts like the B-52's, R.E.M., and Pylon drew the eyes of New York tastemakers southward, they discovered in Athens an unexpected mecca of music, experimental art, DIY spirit, and progressive politics--a creative underground as vibrant as any to be found in the country's major cities. In Athens in the eighties, if you were young and willing to live without much money, anything seemed possible. Cool Town reveals the passion, vitality, and enduring significance of a bohemian scene that became a model for others to follow. Grace Elizabeth Hale experienced the Athens scene as a student, small-business owner, and band member. Blending personal recollection with a historian's eye, she reconstructs the networks of bands, artists, and friends that drew on the things at hand to make a new art of the possible, transforming American culture along the way. In a story full of music and brimming with hope, Hale shows how an unlikely cast of characters in an unlikely place made a surprising and beautiful new world.

There are large climatic differences among the boreal regions of the world. The extreme continental climates of central Siberia, with a mean annual temperature of –11°C or colder and precipitation of only 150 mm, for example, contrasts strikingly with the semicoastal climate of Newfoundland, with a mean annual temperature of +5°C and precipitation of 1400 mm. Yet both are considered boreal. This wide range in mean annual temperatures translates into large variation in the soil thermal conditions. Although much of the northern region of the boreal forest is underlain by continuous and discontinuous permafrost, southern regions are entirely permafrost-free. Boreal Canada has been classified into four major ecoclimatic provinces (Ecoregions Working Group 1989). The Subarctic Ecoclimatic Province extends from treeline in northern Canada south to the border with continuous stands of closed spruce. It ranges from the highly continental areas of northern Yukon Territory to the wetter and somewhat warmer regions of the Labrador Peninsula. The Boreal Ecoclimatic Province includes the main body of the boreal forests of Canada from the Mackenzie River east to Newfoundland. It is a complicated province that has been divided into High, Mid-, and Low Boreal, with a wide range of climate conditions. The Subarctic Cordilleran Ecoclimatic Province occurs only at higher elevations in western Canada. Forested areas in this region are usually restricted to valley bottoms or low, south-facing slopes. The Cordilleran Ecoclimatic Province includes the mountain ranges along the west coast and the continental divide from Montana to Alaska and from the Yukon River south to the boundary with the coastal forests. The boreal portion of this province has climates similar to that of the eastern section of the Interior Highland Ecoregion of Alaska (Fig. 2.3, Gallant et al. 1995). Alaska does not fit well into these Canadian ecoclimatic provinces because of differences in elevation, the effects of the two east-west-oriented mountain ranges (the Alaska and Brooks Ranges), and the coastal influences of the Bering Sea to the west and Cook Inlet to the south (Fig. 1.1; Hopkins 1959, Hare and Ritchie 1972). Hammond and Yarie (1996) separated Alaska into 35 ecoclimatic regions, of which nine include areas of boreal forest.

<em>Abstract.</em>—Fish larvae were sampled at multiple fixed sites from late winter to early summer over 6 years (1990–1995) in the southern Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. A total of 394,797 fish larvae representing 15 species or taxonomic groups was collected. The assemblage was numerically dominated by three species that represented 98% of the total catch: alien shimofuri goby <em>Tridentiger bifasciatus </em>(71%), threadfin shad <em>Dorosoma petenense </em>(15%), and native prickly sculpin <em>Cottus asper </em>(12%). The abundance of native and alien species differentially clustered along environmental gradients of water temperature and river flow. Each native species (prickly sculpin, splittail <em>Pogonichthys macrolepidotus</em>, delta smelt <em>Hypomesus transpacificus</em>, longfin smelt <em>Spirinchus thaleichthys</em>, and Sacramento sucker <em>Catostomus occidentalis</em>) and one alien species (bigscale logperch <em>Percina macrolepida</em>) were associated with the early season conditions of cool water temperature and high river flow. Alien species (especially shimofuri goby, threadfin shad, and ictalurid catfishes) were associated with late season conditions of relatively warm water temperature and low river flow. Accordingly, native species dominated the assemblage February–March, while alien species dominated May–July. However, peak seasonal abundance of alien species was typically five times greater than that of native species. Seasonal succession of assemblage structure was persistent among years and was highly correlated with water temperature, a likely result of the differential spawning requirements of adult fishes. Interannually, the assemblage remained consistent over the study period despite considerable variability in delta inflow. I hypothesize, given the consistent temporal segregation between native and alien larval fish assemblages, that direct interactions such as competition between the two groups may not be a major factor influencing poor native fish recruitment in the south delta.

Suess (1900) provided the first scientific treatment of the South American coast from a tectonic perspective when he distinguished between the Atlantic and Pacific structural styles on opposite sides of the continent. Inman and Nordstrom (1971) later complemented this approach by relating these styles to the concepts of plate tectonics that had emerged during the 1960s. Useful keys to understanding South American coastal processes and sediment supplies were then offered by Davies (1977) and Potter (1994), respectively, while regional accounts of South American coastal landforms were made by specialists in books edited by Bird and Schwartz (1985) and Schwartz (2005). Clapperton (1993) reviewed Quaternary coastal morphogenesis. Coastal sites of scientific importance and historical coastline changes were discussed by Bird and Koike (1981) and Bird (1985). This chapter focuses on the principal factors involved in coastal evolution and morphogenesis, describes key regional landforms, and proposes a new analytical perspective for South America’s coasts by introducing a hierarchical system within coastal groups. The main coastline of South America is approximately 31,100 km long, of which 10,400 km face the Pacific Ocean, 16,700 the open Atlantic Ocean, and the remaining 4,000 km the more sheltered Caribbean Sea. Of the total length, approximately two-thirds lie within the tropics, ensuring that physical and ecological responses to ocean-atmosphere circulation systems involving the Intertropical Convergence Zone dominate these coasts. The remaining one third of the coast beyond the tropics is dominated during part or all of the year by temperate westerly conditions, which become increasingly cool and stormy toward the continent’s southern tip. The origins of the present coast reflect the tectonic forces that have affected the South American plate over the past 200 million years, augmented by relative sea-level changes associated with changing global (eustatic) ocean volume and regional (isostatic) crustal adjustments. The Atlantic coast of South America owes its broad outline to the separation of the continent from neighboring parts of Gondwana that began more than 200 Ma (million years ago). The Pacific and Caribbean coasts have a more complex history, related to the progressive interaction of the westwardmoving South American plate with four oceanic plates with which it has come into contact).
