let the big family dinner on Sundays go to the wayside, but I suspect that is a side effect of my socioeconomic status and having to work jobs that entail less educational requirements. I still like to learn about Italian things when given the chance. The German part I am interested in but I suspect I feel more connected with my Italian side due to the area I grew up in and my physical appearance. Now on to my regional influences. I pride myself on being a Jersey Girl through and through.…

Compared to all other species of tree, Pinus Palustris experienced the most increase of frequency. Whereas, Pinus Clausa or sand pine, was only present in the burned area showing that it was a…

are keystone species, community ecology tends to focus on this group of Angiosperms. A staple example can be found in Lanner’s (1996) book, aptly titled Made for Each Other: A symbiosis of Birds and Pines. Here, Whitebark pine acts as a keystone species, and has an intricate relationship with Clark’s nutcrackers (fig. 4). Whitebark pine seeds can only be dispersed when an animal carries it away. This is done by two animals: Red Squirrels and Clark’s nutcrackers. Clark’s nutcrackers hide small…
