Wild salmon sustain the effectiveness of parasite control on salmon farms: Conservation implications from an evolutionary ecosystem service
Download2018-01-01
Kreitzman, Maayan, Ashander, Jaime, Driscoll, John, Bateman, Andrew W., Chan, Kai M.A., Lewis, Mark A., Krkošek, Martin
Rapid evolution can increase or maintain the provision of ecosystem services, motivating the conservation of wild species and communities. We detail one such contemporary evosystem service by synthesizing theoretical evidence that rapid evolution can sustain parasiticide efficacy in salmon...

With climate change rapidly affecting northern forests and wetlands, mercury reserves once protected in cold, wet soils are being exposed to burning, likely triggering large releases of mercury to the atmosphere. We quantify organic soil mercury stocks and burn areas across western, boreal Canada...

Potapov, A., Merrill, E., Lewis, M.A.
Disease control by managers is a crucial response to emerging wildlife epidemics, yet the means of control may be limited by the method of disease transmission. In particular, it is widely held that population reduction, while effective for controlling diseases that are subject to...

Three projects have evaluated the potential of game cropping, domestication and ranching in Kenya. The UNDP/FAO Wildlife Management Project explored the potential for game cropping but difficulties in meat handling as well as public controversy redirected attention to a concessionaire system of...

William James's \"The Will to Believe\" has been criticized for offering untenable arguments in support of belief in unvalidated hypotheses. Although James is no longer accused of suggesting we can create belief ex nihilo, critics continue to charge that James s defense of belief in what he...

Reintroduction of wolves (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park in 1995–1996 has been argued to promote a trophic cascade by altering elk (Cervus elaphus) density, habitat-selection patterns, and behavior that, in turn, could lead to changes within the plant communities used by elk. We...

Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that rely heavily on a variety of sensors such as LiDAR, RADAR, SONAR, and camera to capture surrounding traffic data. Sensor performance has been observed to degrade during adverse weather conditions as the signals are...

Wind-forced depth-dependent currents over the eastern Beaufort Sea continental slope: Implications for Pacific water transport
Download2018-01-01
Dmitrenko, Igor A., Kirillov, Sergei A., Myers, Paul G., Forest, Alexandre, Tremblay, Bruno, Lukovich, Jennifer V., Gratton, Yves, Rysgaard, Soren, Barber, David G.
Pacific water contributes significantly to the Arctic Ocean freshwater budget. Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux, also affected by the Pacific-derived Arctic water, impact the Atlantic overturning circulation with implications for global climate. The interannual variability of the...

Windsor House school: Systems, procedures and curriculum that support a democratic educational philosophy
Download2010
It is my belief that people learn best in situations where they respect and value the people from whom that are leaning as well as feel respected and valued themselves. For these reasons human relationships in learning environments are very important. Democratic structures help to support...
