Seasonal carryover effects of an experimental stressor in a wild teleost fish
(University of Chicago Press, 2010-10-08)
Stress can have sublethal effects that are manifested either immediately or at spatial or temporal scales that are removed from the stress event (i.e., carryover effects). We tested whether a short-term elevation of plasma ...
Osmoregulatory, metabolic and nutritional condition of summer-run male Chinook salmon in relation to their fate and migratory behavior in a regulated river
(Inter-Research, 2011-06-01)
We studied the migratory success of male summer-run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha in the Puntledge River on Canada’s Vancouver Island over a 3 yr period using biotelemetry and non-lethal physiological biopsy. ...
Physiological responses of three species of unionid mussels to intermittent exposure to elevated carbon dioxide
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2016-12-29)
Freshwater systems are at risk owing to increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and one of the possible reasons for these elevations is the deployment of non-physical fish barriers to prevent invasive fish movements. Carbon ...
Swimming activity of migrating Chinook salmon in a regulated river
(Inter-Research, 2012-10-17)
Adult Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. have a fixed amount of energy available to
fuel their freshwater spawning migration, so they must optimize their activity in a manner that conserves energy to ensure successful ...
Spatial ecology of adult muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) in the urban Ottawa reach of the historic Rideau Canal, Canada
(EDP Sciences, 2010-07-19)
The Rideau Canal in Canada was constructed in the 1800s to enable strategic military and commercial transport in eastern Ontario between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River. Today, the Rideau Canal is managed by Parks Canada ...
Injecting youth into peer-review to increase its sustainability: a case study of ecology journals
(Queen's University, 2010-02-15)
The "tragedy of the reviewer commons", where the referee pool is being drained by an influx of manuscript submissions, is becoming an increasing problem for journals. To mitigate this growing concern, we suggest that there ...
