Systematics of the Dioryctria abietella Species Group ( Lepidoptera : Pyralidae ) Based on Mitochondrial DNA
Download2008
Sperling, F. A. H., Roques, A., Dormont, L., Roux-Morabito, G., Stein, J., Gillette, N. E.
Abstract: Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller include several Serious pests of conifer seeds that are notoriously difficult to distinguish as species. We surveyed mitochondrial DNA variation within the abietella species group by sequencing 451 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and 572...

Taking a Multispecies Approach to Evaluating the Effectiveness of Wildlife Passages for Small and Medium Sized Mammals in an Eastern Canadian Boreal Forest
Download2015-09-21
Descrochers, André, Jaeger, Jochen, Martinig, April Robin
Poster presented at the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation in 2015. Research is an investigation into the effectiveness of three different types of wildlife passages along Highway 175 in northern Quebec for small and medium sized mammals using infrared cameras. Two research...

Tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) infection in flour beetles (Tribolium confusum): does it cause a trade-off between host fecundity and egg size?
Download2009
Inter- and intra-specific comparisons commonly reveal an inverse relationship between fecundity and offspring size. Many animals also vary egg size in response to environmental conditions. Infection of flour beetles Tribolium confusum Jaquelin Du Val, 1868 with the rat tapeworm Hymenolepis...

Hernandez-Castillo, G.R., Stockey, R.A., Beard, G.
Two permineralized conifer pollen cones have been identified from the AppianWay locality on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. These cones, found in marine calcareous nodules with invertebrates, are Eocene in age and have been studied with the cellulose acetate peel technique....

Temperature- and Turbidity-Dependent Competitive Interactions Between Invasive Freshwater Mussels
Download2016-01-01
Qihua Huang, Hao Wang, Anthony Ricciardi, Mark A. Lewis
We develop a staged-structured population model that describes the competitive 7 dynamics of two functionally similar, congeneric invasive species: zebra mussels and quagga 8 mussels. The model assumes that the population survival rates are functions of temperature 9 and turbidity, and that the...

Temperature-dependent Allee effects in a stage-structured model for Bythotrephes establishment
Download2011-01-01
Young, J. D., Yan, N. D., Lewis, Mark A., Wittmann, M. J.
Whether the invasive freshwater cladoceran Bythotrephes longimanus can establish after introduction into a water body depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Among these, water temperature is important because both development rates and mode of reproduction (parthenogenetic or sexual) in...

Territoriality is a phenomenon exhibited throughout nature. On the individual level, it is the processes by which organisms exclude others of the same species from certain parts of space. On the population level, it is the segregation of space into separate areas, each used by subsections of the...

Territoriality and home-range dynamics in meerkats, Suricata suricatta: a mechanistic modelling approach
Download2015-01-01
Andrew W. Bateman, Mark A. Lewis, Gabriella Gall, Marta B. Manser, Tim H. Clutton-Brock
Multiple approaches exist to model patterns of space use across species, among them resource selection analysis, statistical home-range modelling and mechanistic movement modelling. Mechanistic home-range models combine the benefits of these approaches, describing emergent territorial patterns...
