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 ... -
Personality Variation in Little Brown Bats
(2013-11-27)Animal personality or temperament refers to individual differences in behaviour that are repeatable over time and across contexts. Personality has been linked to life-history traits, energetic traits and fitness, with ... -
Activation of Innate Immune-Response Genes in Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) Infected with the Fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans
(PLoS ONE, 2014-11-12)Recently bats have been associated with the emergence of diseases, both as reservoirs for several new viral diseases in humans and other animals and, in the northern Americas, as hosts for a devastating fungal disease that ... -
Context-dependent conservation responses to emerging wildlife diseases
(Ecological Society of America, 2015)Emerging infectious diseases pose an important threat to wildlife. While established protocols exist for combating outbreaks of human and agricultural pathogens, appropriate management actions before, during, and after the ... -
Glycerophospholipid Profiles of Bats with White-Nose Syndrome
(The University of Chicago, 2015)Pseudogymnoascus destructans is an ascomycetous fungus responsible for the disease dubbed white-nose syndrome (WNS) and massive mortalities of cave-dwelling bats. The fungus infects bat epidermal tissue, causing damage to ... -
Success stories and emerging themes in conservation physiology
(Oxford University Press and the Society for Experimental Biology, 2016)The potential benefits of physiology for conservation are well established and include greater specificity of management techniques, determination of cause–effect relationships, increased sensitivity of health and disturbance ... -
Energetic benefits of enhanced summer roosting habitat for little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) recovering from white-nose syndrome
(2016)Habitat modification can improve outcomes for imperilled wildlife. Insectivorous bats in North America face a range of conservation threats, including habitat loss and white-nose syndrome (WNS). Even healthy bats face ... -
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 ... -
Chill out: physiological responses to winter ice-angling in two temperate freshwater fishes
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2017-04-17)A large body of research has documented the stress response of fish following angling capture. Nearly all of these studies have taken place during the open-water season, with almost no work focused on the effects of capture ... -
Tolerance to Hypercarbia Is Repeatable and Related to a Component of the Metabolic Phenotype in a Freshwater Fish
(The University of Chicago, 2017-07-14)Freshwater fish may be exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) because of several actions, including anesthesia and high levels of aquatic respiration and potentially as the result of using high-CO2 plumes as a ... -
Endangered Oarisma poweshiek butterfly larval foraging and adult habitat interactions in Manitoba, Canada
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-10-29)The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is endemic to the tall grass prairie in North America, and is now critically endangered globally. Existing populations are scattered amongst tall grass prairie remnants. However, ... -
Endangered Oarisma poweshiek larvae vary their graminoid forage in Manitoba, Canada
(Cambridge University Press, 2022)The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is endemic to the tall grass prairie in North America and is now critically endangered globally. Existing populations are scattered among tall grass prairie remnants. However, ... -
Egg Laying Behaviour and Larval Shelter-Construction Patterns of the endangered Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) in Canada
(The Lepidopterists' Society, 2022-03-09)The Mottled duskywing (Erynnis martialis) butterfly is endangered, living in pine forests and oak barrens in Canada and the eastern United States of America. While host plants and larval behaviour is documented in Mottled ... -
An assessment of prairie management practices for maintaining habitat quality for the endangered Poweshiek skipperling butterfly in Canada
(University of Notre Dame, 2022-08-10)The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) was once a common prairie butterfly in central North America, but is now critically endangered in Canada and the United States. The Poweshiek skipperling is confined to the ...
