Schneider, Richard R, Bayne, Erin M
Ecosystem distributions are expected to shift as a result of global warming, raising concerns about the long-term utility of reserve systems based on coarse-filter ecosystem representation. We tested the extent to which proportional ecosystem representation targets would be maintained under a...

Residual tree retention ameliorates short-term effects of clear-cutting on some boreal songbirds
Download2001
Hannon, S. J., Norton, M. R., Tittler, R.
Abstract: Retention of residual trees in \"cutblocks,\" logged blocks of forest, has been proposed as a method to conserve songbirds in landscapes fragmented by clear-cut logging. We examined songbird communities in the boreal mixed-wood forest of Alberta, Canada, to investigate the effect on...

Resistance of some cultivated Brassicaceae to infestations by Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
Download2007
Sarfraz, M., Dosdall, L. M., Keddie, B. A.
Abstract: Selecting insect-resistant plant varieties is a key component of integrated management programs of oligophagous pests such as diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), but rigorous research on important life history parameters of P. xylostella in relation to...

Response of eight Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars to copper: Copper content in the leaves and grain
Download1995
Taylor, G.J., Penney, D.C., Owuoche, J.O., Briggs, K.G.
Concentrations of copper (Cu) in the youngest fully emerged leaves (YFEL) and grain of eight widely grown Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, Biggar, Columbus, Conway, Katepwa, Laura, Oslo, Park and Roblin, were determined. l,eaves were sampled at five growth rtulE f.o. field...

Response of eight Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars to copper: Pollen viability, grain yield plant-1 and yield components
Download1994
Owuoche, J.O., Briggs, K.G., Taylor, G.J., Penney, D.C.
Eight Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, Katepwa, Roblin, Park, Laura, Conway, Oslo, Columbus and Biggar., were tested in the field for copper (Cu) use efficiency. The experiment was conducted at Stony Plain, Alberta on an Orthic, Dark Grey, Chernozemic, Cu deficient 10.48 pg...

Nisbet, Roger, Anderson, Kurt E., McCauley, Edward, Lewis, Mark A.
Much ecological research involves identifying connections between abiotic forcing and population densities or distributions. We present theory that describes this relationship for populations in media with strong unidirectional flow (e.g., aquatic organisms in streams and rivers). Typically,...

O'Sullivan, N.P., Wong, G.K., Lawley, C.T., McKay, J.C., Groenen, M.A., Fulton, J.E., Crooijmans, R.P., Muir, W.M., Megens, H.J., Cheng, H.H., McLeod, S., Zhang, H.M., Zhang, Y., Albers, G.A.A., Delany, M.E., Settar, P., Okimoto, R., Vereijken, A., Wang, J., Jungerius-Rattink, A.
In 2004 the chicken genome sequence and more than 2.8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were reported. This information greatly enhanced the ability of poultry scientists to understand chicken biology, especially with respect to identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and...
