Lampreys in Canada

Lampreys are a group of primitive vertebrates which, together with hagfish and various extinct forms, comprise the fish class Agnatha. Lampreys occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. About 41 extant species are known, as well as fossil forms dating from the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian (353–300 million years ago) in the US. Twenty-three species are found in North America, of which 21 are indigenous. Eleven species occur in Canada.

Land Cession

A land cession is a transfer of land from one party to another through a deed of sale or surrender. Land cessions may also be referred to as land surrenders and land purchases. In Canada and the United States, Indigenous land cessions generally took place through negotiated treaties. There are cases, however, where Indigenous peoples claim that lands were taken unjustly. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 established the protocols for land cession in both Canada and the United States.

Legume

Leguminosae, or Fabaceae, is the third-largest family of flowering plants, containing up to 650 genera and 18,000 species. Over 4,000 species are native to North America, most of which are members of the bean subfamily. They occur as scattered, secondary components of native vegetation. Over 2,000 species of milk vetch (genus Astragalus) alone occur worldwide, more than 40 in Canada. Other common native legumes are lupines (Lupinus), vetches (Vicia), locoweed (Oxytropis) and vetchling (Lathyrus). Most legumes, in association with strains of the bacterium Rhizobium,"fix" part of their nitrogen requirement and improve soils as green manure. Legumes are also a staple in the diets of both animals and humans.

Lichen

Lichen is a dual organism composed of fungi living in close association with green algae or Cyanobacteria. As composite organisms, they cannot be formally classified within a single kingdom. Names applied to lichens are those of the fungal component of the association because, with few exceptions, each recognizable lichen is the product of a different species of "lichen fungus." However, the algal species involved in the lichen consortium might be found in a number of different lichens. Blue felt lichen is the official lichen of Nova Scotia.
