“…Wetlands have here been defined as between −0.6 meter and +1.0 meter of average lake level. The lower range allows for capturing the optimum water depths for wild rice growth of between 0.3 and 0.6 meters (Drewes & Silbernagel, , p. 98). The upper elevation allows for the definition of riparian and lakeshore marshes that are within the expected range of spring‐autumn high‐low water levels (e.g., long‐term study of the interannual ranges of lake elevations for Lake Ontario approximate 1.0 meter—Quinlan & Mulamoottil, ).…”

This study uses a combination of isostatic rebound, hydrological flow, and sedimentation models to generate predictions about the postglacial evolution (from ca. 12.0 ka cal BP to the modern‐day) of the Kawartha Lakes region of central Ontario, Canada. Changes in shoreline and wetland configuration are mapped and quantified so as to inform understanding of the environmental history of the region and illuminate the manner of its evolution. This knowledge is discussed in the context of the human history of the region, particularly the relationship between ancestral Indigenous communities and their relationship to lakes and wetlands. Areas of significant shoreline transgression are identified and thus where inundated archaeological sites are likely to exist. The scale of loss of wetland areas as a result of 19th‐century dam construction is also estimated along with the impacts of settler dams on Michi Saagigg Nishaabeg First Nations traditional harvesting practices.

“…However, complex interactions within socio-ecological systems are difficult to empirically put into practice in environmental assessments (Shackleton et al, 2011 ; Nair et al, 2016 ). Socio-ecological systems are seldom closed or static (Brewer, 2012 ; Drewes and Silbernagel, 2012 ), so it is interesting to know how sociological studies are located at a local scale (e.g., watersheds). This scale of social relationships typically generates better proposals for connecting local economies with natural assets such as the use of water resources (Ruiz-Ballesteros and Gálvez-García, 2014 ; Conrad and Yates, 2018 ; Mistry et al, 2021 ).…”

Socio-ecology studies the relationships between human activities and natural systems and their importance in management and public policy. Our objective was to analyse how published papers in countries with a high Human Development Index (HDI) perform socio-ecological studies and compare them between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. To do this, we used the Scopus platform as a source for searching and obtaining scientific papers about socio-ecological studies conducted in countries from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. We calculated the number (n) of papers published per year and classified them using the main subject areas of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank database. Then, we analysed whether papers included specific recommendations for natural system management, nature conservation, policies or governance structures, or science in general. Besides, we studied whether the papers addressed socio-ecological studies related to flora and fauna and from what specific group of organisms or systems. Data were compared using the chi-square (χ2) test (Pearson p < 0.005). A total of 467 papers were analysed, where 34% were from the Southern Hemisphere (mainly Argentina, Australia, Chile, and South Africa) and 66% from the Northern Hemisphere (mainly the USA, Canada, and Spain). The Northern Hemisphere (mainly North America and Europe) played a major role in the socio-ecological knowledge exchange than the Southern Hemisphere (South America and Africa). The results showed socio-ecological studies focused mainly on generating management recommendations in social and environmental science fields. The number of studies coming from the Northern Hemisphere was significantly higher than those from the Southern Hemisphere. Most of them were conducted at a local level (e.g., watersheds or human settlements) in three different systems (i) terrestrial (e.g., forests or grasslands), (ii) freshwater (e.g., rivers or streams) and (iii) marine (e.g., coastlines or seas). Most of the studies (70%) were conducted in production systems, where the majority included livestock (mainly bovine) and aquatic fisheries (e.g., salmon, artisanal coastal fishing, or trout). Most vegetation papers (65%) were on native forests. Papers on wildlife made up 30% of all animal-related studies, with mammals, birds, and marine invertebrates (such as collars) being the most extensively researched species. This work highlighted the socio-ecological approach that was used in the analysed countries with greater HDI to develop management options for natural systems.

“…In its native habitat, it is a vital component of aquatic ecosystems, providing food and shelter for a variety of species (Chambliss, 1940; Fannucchi, 1983; Rogosin, 1954). However, the species faces serious challenges as a result of habitat destruction, hydrological changes and climate change (Drewes and Silbernagel, 2012; Pillsbury and McGuire, 2009). Also known as Manoomin or Psiŋ, NWR is a sacred food of indigenous peoples living in the Great Lakes region, who harvest the grain for use in their daily lives and ceremonies, as barter in their trade economy and for commercial sales (Andow et al., 2009).…”

Zizania palustris L. (northern wild rice, NWR) is an aquatic grass native to North America that is notable for its nutritious grain. This is an important species with ecological, cultural and agricultural significance, specifically in the Great Lakes region of the USA. Using flow cytometry, we first estimated the NWR genome size to be 1.8 Gb. Using long-and short-range sequencing, Hi-C scaffolding and RNA-seq data from eight tissues, we generated an annotated whole-genome de novo assembly of NWR. The assembly was 1.29 Gb in length, highly repetitive (approx. 76.0%) and contained 46 421 putative protein-coding genes. The expansion of retrotransposons within the genome and a whole-genome duplication (WGD) after the Zizania-Oryza speciation event have both led to an increase in the genome size of NWR in comparison with Oryza sativa L. and Zizania latifolia. Both events depict a genome rapidly undergoing change over a short evolutionary time. Comparative analyses revealed the conservation of large syntenic blocks between NWR and O. sativa, which were used to identify putative seed-shattering genes. Estimates of divergence times revealed that the Zizania genus diverged from Oryza approximately 26-30 million years ago (26-30 MYA), whereas NWR and Z. latifolia diverged from one another approximately 6-8 MYA. Comparative genomics confirmed evidence of a WGD in the Zizania genus and provided support that the event occurred prior to the NWR-Z. latifolia speciation event. This genome assembly and annotation provides a valuable resource for comparative genomics in the Oryzeae tribe and provides an important resource for future conservation and breeding efforts of NWR.
