Studies on the Bryophytes of Southern Manitoba. IV. Collections from Bird's Hill Provincial Park
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1973)
One hundred and seventeen taxa of bryophytes were collected in Bird's Hill Provincial Park, Manitoba. Habitats sampled included ditches, streams, marshes, moist clay banks, dry grassland, and areas forested by black spruce, ...
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 ...
Feasting, fasting and freezing: energetic effects of meal size and temperature on torpor expression by little brown bats Myotis lucifugus
(Company of Biologists, 2010)
Torpor is an adaptation for energy conservation employed by many species of small-bodied endotherms. However, surprisingly little is known regarding proximate factors influencing day-to-day variation in torpor expression ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Urban drinking water quality : a survey of selected literature
(Institute of Urban Studies, 1993-01-01)
Water is indispensable for all life on our planet. The quantity of water on earth is finite, amounting to approximately 1500 million cubic kilometres (Morrison, 1984). It is one of the most precious resources that we have, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Studies on the Bryophytes of Southern Manitoba. II. Collections from the Winnipeg Area
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1973)
Fifty-five taxa of bryophytes are reported for the area of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Frullania inflata, Brachythecium acuminatum, Encalypta ciliata, and Tortella inclinata are new records for the province.
