Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) hatching in the Hudson Bay system: Testing of the freshwater winter refuge hypothesis
Download2022-01-01
Schembri, Sarah, Deschepper, Inge, Myers, Paul G., Sirois, Pascal, Fortier, Louis, Bouchard, Caroline, Maps, Frederic
Buoyant Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) eggs are found at the surface or at the ice-water interface in winter. While winter temperatures in saline waters fall below 0 degrees C, the temperature in areas affected by under-ice river plumes is slightly higher. Under-ice river plumes may therefore...

Annual Dispersal of Endangered Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia): Implications for Estimating Survival
DownloadSpring 2022
The migratory population of Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in Canada has undergone significant declines over the past five decades. Monitoring of Burrowing Owl includes estimation of annual survival which is predominantly obtained using mark-recapture data. Survival is calculated based on...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
