Sphinx Moth Pollinations for the Endangered Western Prairie Fringed Orchid, Platanthera Praeclara in Manitoba, Canada
(Lepidopterists' Society, 2004)
The western prairie fringed orchid, Platanthera praeclara (Sheviak & Bowles), is an endangered species in North America. In Manitoba orchids produce lower numbers of seed capsules than more southern populations. Exploration ...
An Energy-Based Body Temperature Threshold between Torpor and Normothermia for Small Mammals
(The University of Chicago, 2007-09-05)
Field studies of use of torpor by heterothermic endotherms suffer from the lack of a standardized threshold differentiating torpid body temperatures (T_b) from normothermic T_b's. This threshold can be more readily observed ...
Long-term effects of surgically implanted telemetry tags on the nutritional physiology and condition of wild freshwater fish
(Inter-Research, 2009-03-09)
Little is known about the long-term consequences of surgically implanted telemetry
devices on wild fish, as they are rarely recaptured. We used wild largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides as a model to evaluate the long-term ...
Could localized warm areas inside cold caves reduce mortality of hibernating bats affected by white-nose syndrome?
(2009-03-05)
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a mysterious condition affecting populations of hibernating bats in the northeastern US. Little is known about its physiological effects on bats and no intervention has so far been proposed to ...
The influence of dissolved oxygen on winter habitat selection by largemouth bass: an integration of field biotelemetry studies and laboratory experiments
(University of Chicago Press, 2009-01-20)
In this study, field biotelemetry and laboratory physiology approaches were coupled to allow understanding of the behavioral and physiological responses of fish to winter hypoxia. The biotelemetry study compared dissolved ...
