Minnesota's Moose: Ghosts of the Northern Forest?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Gii-wen (Ojibwe for "so the story is told"), moose once vanished from the land. According to Ojibwe legend, an owl flew north and chanced upon the herd grazing on balsam fir trees. The moose were thriving, without humans. The Ojibwe, on the other hand, couldn't live without the moose. Whither go the moose, so go the Ojibwe, says Norman Deschampe, chairman of the Minnesota Tribe of Lake Superior Chippewa/Ojibwe, Grand Portage Band. "Moose are at the center of our culture. Without them, we will cease to be Ojibwe. We've hunted moose since chemaywe'ya, the way-back time, for subsistence. One moose can feed a family for severa...

Lone Parents: Parthenogenesis in SharksEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The discovery that sharks can reproduce asexually means that mammals are the only jawed vertebrate lineage incapable of parthenogenesis. But can this surprising capacity make any difference to shark survival as their populations decline? (Source: BioScience Features)
