Abstract

This study investigates how justice-related issues affect farmers and workers on organic farms in the northeastern United States. At the study's core is an examination of the current context of laborers in organic agriculture in the U.S. Northeast. The study analyzes the results of an online survey of Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) farmer members to gather information about who labors on organic farms in the NOFA network and what unique justice issues they face. The survey results indicate that most of the farms within the network are small-scale and rely heavily on family members and volunteers for labor. Many of the justice issues related to labor arise from the difficulties these farmers experience achieving financial viability. This study increases understanding of the broader systemic context within which small-scale organic farmers make their commitments and decisions, and it illustrates how the justice-related experiences of both farmers and workers are affected by participation as small-scale organic farms in the larger agricultural system.

Abstract

Identifying viruses in synanthropic animals is necessary for understanding the origin of many viruses that can infect humans and developing strategies to prevent new zoonotic infections. The white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, is one of the most abundant rodent species in the northeastern United States. We characterized the serum virome of 978 free-ranging P. leucopus mice caught in Pennsylvania. We identified many new viruses belonging to 26 different virus families. Among these viruses was a highly divergent segmented flavivirus whose genetic relatives were recently identified in ticks, mosquitoes, and vertebrates, including febrile humans. This novel flavi-like segmented virus was found in rodents and shares ≤70% aa identity with known viruses in the highly conserved region of the viral polymerase. Our data will enable researchers to develop molecular reagents to further characterize this virus and its relatives infecting other hosts and to curtail their spread, if necessary.

Abstract

Northeastern states have taken an aggressive approach towards industrial development, as the region underscores a major economic transition. Local authorities in the area have not only alleviated employment problems and redressed corrupt business policies, but have also implemented various relocation incentive programs. Maine, in particular, is recently engrossed in two monumental projects, designed to facilitate corporate expansion and relocation plans in the state.

341. Modern pollen‐assemblage data from small lakes paired with local forest‐composition data in northeastern United States.

Author

Jackson, Stephen T.

Subjects
*POLLEN, *LAKES, *BIBLIOGRAPHICAL citations, *SPATIAL variation
Abstract

Understanding and modeling of how forest composition and pattern are recorded by sedimentary pollen assemblages requires data sets in which modern pollen assemblages are paired with forest‐composition data across a range of spatial scales. Pollen data from 33 small lakes (<2.0 ha) in the northeastern United States, paired with estimates of forest composition and basal area by species within successive radial distances from the lake margins (0–20, 20–50, 50–100, 100–500, 500–1,000 m), can support further studies of pollen–vegetation relationships and development of calibration models. There are no copyright or proprietary restrictions for research or teaching purposes, other than citation of this source of the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Regional restaurant chains in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are being forced to look to their market share as larger, national chains enter the market in spite of higher real estate and labor costs. The smaller chains are adopting various strategies, including branching out themselves to other markets, refocusing on their original niche market and diversifying their products and services. Establishing relationships with customers is also proving an important marketing tool for these smaller companies., When Phil Romano, who usually operates restaurants in the Southeast, built a restaurant for his sister, Rosalie, in Skaneateles, N.Y., he ran into a problem that has dissuaded numerous national [...]
