Evidence of Late-Summer Mating Readiness and Early Sexual Maturation in Migratory Tree-Roosting Bats Found Dead at Wind Turbines
(2012-10)
Understanding animal mating systems is an important component of their conservation, yet the precise mating times for many species of bats are unknown. The aim of this study was to better understand the details and timing ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Changes in Body Condition of Hibernating Bats Support the Thrifty Female Hypothesis and Predict Consequences for Populations with White-Nose Syndrome
(2011-06-22)
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a new disease of bats that has devastated populations in eastern North America. Infection with the fungus, Geomyces destructans, is thought to increase the time bats spend out of torpor during ...
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 ...
Endemism and Conservation of Sticklebacks in the Queen Charlotte Islands
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1973)
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, ...
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 ...
