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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Endemism and Conservation of Sticklebacks in the Queen Charlotte Islands
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1973)
Aquatic Angiosperms at Unusual Depths in Shoal Lake, Manitoba-Ontario
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1986)
Shoal Lake (elevation 323 m) was found to contain extensive macrophyte communities growing at depths of 12-14 m and consisting of the angiosperms Elodea canadensis, Najas flexilis, Potamogeton foliosus, P. zosteriformis, ...
Studies on the Bryophytes of Southern Manitoba. III. Collections from Grand Beach Provincial Park
(New England Botanical Club, 1974)
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
