  Northern Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern Range is the range of tall hills across the northern portion of Trinidad, the major island in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Northern Range consists mainly of sedimentary rocks - schists and limestones; portions at the eastern end of the range are of volcanic origin.
At the western end of the Northern Range, the capital city, Port of Spain, climbs into the hills and the valleys are settled and largely deforested.

 CA DFG - Northern Pike in Lake Davis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In it's native range, northern pike abundance varies and in northern Wisconsin lakes northern pike >35 cm (14 in.) was reported to averaged 16.1 fish/ha (40 fish/acre) and ranged from 2.8-38.0 fish/ha (7-94 fish/acre) (Margenau et al 1998).
Northern pike are reported to spawn in shallow marshes if available, typically with abundant flooded and aquatic vegetation, and spawning activity occurs mostly during afternoon in marshy areas of lakes or connected sloughs (Franklin and Smith 1963).
Northern pike are reported susceptible to stunting due to lack of prey (Diana 1996) and are typically associated with a high population densities (Casselman 1996).

 Yellowstone National Park - Northern Range Controversy (U.S. National Park Service)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The research demonstrates that the northern range continues to support large, healthy ungulate herds year after year, and that despite certain localized impacts, elk do not appear to have had any significant effect on the overall biodiversity of native animals and plants.
Elk move across the range throughout the season, seldom grazing forbs and grasses during their most vulnerable period and generally moving to higher elevations before the plants flower and seed.
For more information, view the on-line report Yellowstone's Northern Range: Complexity and Change in a Wildland Ecosystem, or write to the Yellowstone Center for Resources, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park for a copy of this 1997 report summarizing the history and research of this complex and fascinating topic.

 WildWNC.org : Trees : Northern Red Oak   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Northern red oak (Quercus rubra), also known as common red oak, eastern red oak, mountain red oak, and gray oak, is widespread in the East and grows on a variety of soils and topography, often forming pure stands.
Northern red oak seedlings that are established naturally or by planting at the time an old stand is clearcut, regardless of how large the clearcut area, do not grow fast enough to compete with the vigorous woody sprouts and other vegetation (4,29).
Mature northern red oaks are usually from 20 to 30 m (65 to 98 ft) tall and 61 to 91 cm (24 to 36 in) in d.b.h.

 Research in the Parks (Research on Ungulates in Northern Yellowstone National Park)
The northern winter range of Yellowstone National Park contains about 204,000 acres, supports six species of native ungulates with their complement of predators and scavengers, and is, in short, an ecological gem unmatched for this assemblage of species.
Elk occur sympatrically on the northern range with populations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), moose (Alces alces), pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), bison (Bison bison), and a variety of smaller herbivores.
The vegetation on the winter range is primarily a steppe composed of a variety of grassland types, which is intermixed with scattered coniferous forests.

 Comprehensive overview of northern Range wolves
This successor to the Rose Creek Pack, which was once the dominant pack on the northern range, has been pushed into the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River near Crevice Creek, the adjacent Buffalo Plateau, Haystack Meadows, Palmer Mountain, and Decker Flats near Gardiner.
Estimates are there might be as many as 11 members of this pack, ranging the western side of Paradise Valley and the east side of the Gallatin Range from Eightmile Creek or Pine Creek north to Wineglass Mountain.
Their findings are likely more accurate than those of Robert J. Fanning Jr., chair of the Friends of the Northern Range Yellowstone Elk, who was quoted in the NYT on 12-17.

The southeastern boundary of its range is the Pit River area of Shasta County, California.

 USGS Earthquake Hazards Program » Paleoseismic Studies in the Basin and Range Province, Northern Nevada
The Basin and Range province is a large region of extensional tectonics in the Intermountain western United States that is marked by numerous north-trending mountain ranges and adjacent basins, which formed primarily by normal faulting in late Tertiary and Quaternary time.
The Santa Rosa Range is a prominent mountain range in northwestern Nevada and southeastern Oregon.
Recent geodetic data from the northern part of the Basin and Range province in northwestern Nevada, northeastern California, and southern Oregon define a narrow zone of relatively high extension that coincides with the Steens fault zone, which bounds the eastern side of Steens Mountain and the Pueblo Mountains.

 Extended Range - Northern Sound Source
The instrument ranges are the natural ranges of most of the instruments.
The bass clarinet recorded for GPO obviously was the modern kind with the extended range, since the lowest note in the sample set -- written Db3, concert B1 -- was clearly played on such an instrument.
If you want to have a "recommended range" and an "extended range' (perhaps indicated by an overlay of a different color, say red), that's fine, but the lack of altissimo woodwind notes is a real problem for me.

 USFWS - Region 3: Copperbelly Water Snake
The northern copperbellies - found in northeastern Indiana, northwestern Ohio, and southern Michigan - exist as isolated remnant populations of small numbers of snakes.
It is estimated that the copperbelly would vanish in the northern part of its range during the next 10 to 20 years without additional protection.
The Service believes that with listing of the copperbelly in the northern part of its range, and implementation of conservation agreements in the southern part of its range the long term survival of the species and its wetland and bottomland habitats will be assured.

 Current Wolf observations in the Northern Range. Lynch
Huge herds of hundreds of elk have magically reappeared after their absence all summer, bison wander the roads freely, and the wolves seem to be enjoying the cool (OK, cold: 23 degrees F!) weather and early snows.
Through the spotting scope from Dave's Hill, it was easy to see the uncollared gray's blood-smeared face as he fed. The Sloughs also made an appearance at the opposite end of the Lamar Valley the next day, disappearing into the trees on the flank of Mount Norris near Soda Butte Cone.
Still no word on the Druids, but as far as tales of other recent wolf sightings, I heard that 10 Leopolds were visible on a carcass south of the road from the "Forces of the Northern Range" (the old "Childrens' Fire Trail") parking lot.
