Fecal Pellet Counts as a Technique for Monitoring an Alpine-Dwelling Social Rodent, the Hoary Marmot (Marmota caligata)
Download2004
Karels, T. J., Koppel, L., Hik, D. S.
We evaluated fecal pellet counts as an index of hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) social group size in order to develop a simple, inexpensive method for monitoring population change of a widely distributed, but poorly studied alpine mammal. Fecal pellet counts were conducted in three separate...

Hilborn, Ray, Ford, Jennifer S., Peacock, Stephanie, Dill, Lawrence M., Morton, Alexandra, Krkosek, Martin, Connors, Brendan, Lewis, Mark A., Volpe, John P., Mages, Paul, Ford, Helen
For some salmon populations, the individual and population effects of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) transmission from sea cage salmon farms is probably mediated by predation, which is a primary natural source of mortality of juvenile salmon. We examined how sea lice infestation affects...

Squires, J.E., Estabrooks, C., Gustavsson, P., Wallin, L.
Background: Interventions that have a better than random chance of increasing nurses' use of research are important to the delivery of quality patient care. However, few reports exist of successful research utilization in nursing interventions. Systematic identification and evaluation of...

Minimally-invasive assessments of the behavioural and physiological effects of enriched colony cages on laying hens
Download2011
Korver, Doug R., Schaefer, Allan L., Cook, Nigel J., Feddes, John J. R., Church, John S., Haley, Derek B.
The well-being of laying hens in cages of 5, 10, 20 and 40-birds/cage, and enrichment with perches, nest boxes and scratch pads, was assessed using behavioral and physiological parameters. Laying hens were Lohmann Brown (n = 360) and White Leghorns (n = 360), housed from 17 to 65 weeks of age....

Physical Activity Information Seeking and Advertising Recall
2011
Plotnikoff, R., Bauman, A., Berry, T. R., Spence, J. C.
Abstract: The purposes of this research were to examine the characteristics of those who look for physical activity-related information, where they find it, and to examine what types of physical activity-related advertisements are recalled (i.e., publicly funded or commercial). These purposes...

Hurd, T.E., Kloppers, E.L., St. Clair, C.C.
Wildlife habituation near urban centers can disrupt natural ecological processes, destroy habitat, and threaten public safety. Consequently, management of habituated animals is typically invasive and often includes translocation of these animals to remote areas and sometimes even their...

Energy requirements of moose (AIces alces) and wapiti (Cervus elaphus) calves were compared from December to February to determine whether metabolic requirements were lower in a boreal-adapted than in a parkland-adapted wild cervid. Eight calves of each species were divided equally into groups...

Systematic review of safety and tolerability of a complex micronutrient formula used in mental health
Download2011
Simpson, J. Steven A., Crawford, Susan G., Kaplan, Bonnie J., Field, Catherine J., Burgess, Ellen, Goldstein, Estelle T.
Background Theoretically, consumption of complex, multinutrient formulations of vitamins and minerals should be safe, as most preparations contain primarily the nutrients that have been in the human diet for millennia, and at safe levels as defined by the Dietary Reference Intakes. However, the...

The effect of sex, size and habitat on the incidence of puncture wounds in the claws of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes (Anomura: Porcellanidae)
Download2007
Many porcelain crabs have an unusual claw (cheliped) form that is broad, flat and thin. This seemingly flimsy form suggests claws may be used more for display than for feeding or aggressive interactions. However, in the flat-topped porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes, one of the most abundant...
