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 ...
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 ...
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.
Studies on the Bryophytes of Southern Manitoba. V. Collections from Whiteshell Provincial Park
(The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, 1973)
One hundred and twenty-nine taxa of bryophytes were collected in the western part of Whiteshell Provincial Park, Manitoba. The following eight taxa have not previously been recorded for the province: Frullania bolanderi, ...
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 ...
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
