	Northern America (subregion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Northern America is a subregion of the Americas, defined by the UN geoscheme to exclude Mexico and the Caribbean.
		Northern America includes the Canada-U.S. dyad, developed countries that exhibit very high human development and share many socioeconomic characteristics.
		Relatedly, the UN subregion of Central America includes Mexico – a newly industrialised country – and other mainland North American states north of South America (including Panama); this contrasts with other reckonings of Central America which often exclude Mexico geopolitically.

	Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Americas are the lands of the New World or Western hemisphere consisting of the continents of North America and South America with their associated islands and regions.
		In many parts of the world, America in the singular is commonly used as a colloquial name for the United States of America; however, (the) Americas (plural with s and generally with the definite article) is not and is invariably used to refer to the lands and regions of the Western hemisphere.
		Latin America is typically contrasted with Anglo-America where English, a Germanic language, prevails: namely, Canada and the United States (in Northern America) have predominantly British roots and are quite different in terms of linguistical, cultural, and economic situation from other countries in the America.

	Northern Waterthrush
		The Northern Waterthrush, a member of the warbler family, migrates from its home in the Neotropical Zone to breed in the forests of Canada and the higher altitudes of the northern Rockies and Appalachian Mountains.
		In the hand, the large dark centers of the undertail coverts are diagnostic and separate the Northern from the similar Louisiana Waterthrush (that has small, diffuse gray centers on the undertail coverts).
		Northern Waterthrush populations seem to be holding steady and in some regions are increasing.

	Earlham -- Biological Diversity -- Northern Leopard Frog
		As the northern leopard frog is not considered an endangered or threatened species in the United States, there are only a few organizations concerned with their conservation.
		Northern leopard frogs also have glands in their skin that secrete poisons, which are strong enough to help them escape from their predators but are not harmful to humans (Encarta, 2001).
		The female northern leopard frog may use her croak if she is being retained by a male with whom she does not want to mate (Encarta, 2001).

	America's Northern Plains: An Overview and Assessment of Natural Resources
		Statistics from 116 long-term weather stations in the Northern Plains therefore were compared to quantify the differences in climatic character between the "Dust Bowl" years and the "normal" years of 1961 to 1990.
		The NRCS recognizes that the Northern Plains region is a land of extremes in soils, climate, crops, and animal agriculture.
		Northern Plains farmers and ranchers have made substantial progress in soil and water conservation since the 1930s and especially in the past ten years, as documented by the 1992 National Resources Inventory.

	Worldworx Travel - Regional Information - The Americas - Northern America
		Northern America is the third largest continent in the world with a total landmass measuring 24,238,000 sq km including the Caribbean Islands and the great ice cap that is Greenland.
		Northern America is almost completely surrounded by oceans and is only connected to Southern America by the relatively narrow landmass of Central America.
		Most of Central America receives a tropical climate, and this compliments the verdant landscape which houses large central areas of plateau and low-lying rainforests that support a wide range of tropical flora and fauna.

	Native Americans - VIII. South America
		The culture area of northern South America and the Caribbean includes jungle lowlands, grassy savannah plains, the northern Andes Mountains, some arid sections of western Ecuador, and the islands of the Caribbean.
		Around the Caribbean, smaller groups such as the Miskito of Nicaragua, the Kuna of Panama, and the Arawak and Carib peoples of the Caribbean islands farmed and fished around their villages; the Carib also lived along the coast of Venezuela.
		The lofty chain of the Andes Mountains that stretches down the western half of South America, together with the narrow coastal valleys between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, were the home of the great civilizations of Native Americans in South America.

	MBG: Research: Asia: Moss Flora of Central America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Below the northern sierras (central Nicaragua, southwestern Honduras, and parts of El Salvador) are large areas of tertiary volcanic ranges and plateaus, and a narrow chain of quaternary volcanoes, some still active, occurs along the Pacific side of the region.
		Since Central America is a region that connects two continental masses that have basically different moss floras - Laurasian North America with a strong Hypnobryalean component and Gondwanalandian South America with a strong Isobryalean component - the region is likely to be phytogeographically complex.
		A subset of this northern element consists of species whose affinities are with those of northern Mexico and the southwestern region of the United States.

	Northern Flicker
		The Northern Flicker is a common species, yet Breeding Bird Survey trends indicate this species’ numbers are declining, particularly the eastern race (known as the Yellow-shafted Flicker).
		Northern Flickers tend to be near the edge of the forest or in more open areas—along streams, for example.
		All races of Northern Flickers are brown with fl barring on their upperparts and wings.

	CPD: South America overview
		The strongly seasonal region of northern South America also includes the open savannas of the Llanos extending from the Orinoco River west and north to the base of the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes and the north slope of the Coast Range of Venezuela.
		The desert regions of Latin America are confined to northern Mexico, the monte (Morello 1958; Orians and Solbrig 1977) and Patagonian steppes of Argentina, and the narrow Pacific coastal strip of northern Chile and Peru.
		Above treeline, the wet grass-dominated vegetation of the Venezuelan, Colombian and northern Ecuadorian Andes is termed "páramo"; this drier vegetation, occurring from Peru to Argentina and Chile, is the "puna".

	CRS Report: 94-534 - The Northern Goshawk: Future Endangered Species? - NLE
		The northern goshawk was listed in January 1992 as a candidate species (Category 2) for possible future listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) throughout its range in the United States.
		Of concern is the northern goshawk's place in ecosystems as an "indicator species." An "indicator species is one in which changes in its population levels may reveal changes in its overall habitat.
		According to many experts, decline of the northern goshawk may be due, at least in part, to timber harvests, but other causes are also widely cited.

	1989 - Military Radar Defence Lines of Northern North America - Roy J Fletcher
		Northern Canada and Alaska from 1945 to 1951 had only a minor military presence and no radar surveillance of airborne threats.
		Saglek in northern Labrador was especially windy, and the next station north, Resolution Island, had the most dangerous resupply because of the exposed anchorage and the uneven airstrip.
		Public concern that the early warning radar lines of northern North America were becoming redundant was off-set in recent years by a resurgence of belief that Soviet aircraft are able to threaten North America (Lambert 1981).

	International Police Cooperation in Northern America (by Mathieu Deflem)
		I devote attention to the existing structures and processes of international police strategies, the goals that these strategies are intended to achieve, the dynamics of continuity and change they are influenced by in their actual implementation, and some of the achievements realized and problems encountered.
		International policing in Northern America was historically less well-developed than in Europe (which is not surprising given the multitude of European national states and their geographical closeness), but it nonetheless has antecedents going far back in the respective histories of the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
		Interestingly, police of Latin America were the first to organize international cooperation as early as 1901, when the idea to foster collaboration was suggested at an international conference.

	Theses from Uppsala University : 3389 - Earthquake Sources and Hazard in northern Central America
		Northern Central America is a tectonically complex zone defined by its borders with Cocos and North America plates.
		The Middle America subduction zone and the strike-slip motion along the North America-Caribbean plate boundary, in that order, control most of its deformation.
		In a time window of 30 years, three earthquakes with moment magnitude larger than 7 struck northern Central America evincing the need to estimate the seismic hazard for the zone.
