Effects of seismic lines on the abundance of breeding birds in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Northwest Territories, Canada
Download2008
Ashenhurst, A.R., Hannon, S.J.
Current plans to increase oil and gas exploration and extraction in the Canadian Arctic include development in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary, Northwest Territories. Various studies have shown impacts of seismic lines on vegetation, but the effects on bird abundance in the Arctic are poorly...

Blasting in or near water can negatively affect fish. In Canada, there are maximum allowable limits for blasting-induced overpressure (100 kPa) and peak particle velocity (PPV; 13 mm/s) to protect fish and their incubating eggs, respectively. No studies, however, have related PPVs from blasting...

Effects of solar ultraviolet radiation on stream benthic communities: an intersite comparison
Download2003
Schindler, D. W., Bothwell, M. L., Kelly, D. J.
The effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), both mid-ultraviolet (UVB; 280-320 nm) and near-ultraviolet (UVA; 320-400 nm), on benthic algal and invertebrate communities were compared in three reaches of a British Columbia coastal stream that differed in the degree of shading by riparian...

Effects of Source of Metacercariae on Experimental Infection of Zygocotyle lunata (Digenea: Paramphistomidae) in CD-1 Mice.
Download1993
Shostak, A.W., Belosevic, M., Dharampaul, S.
Outbred (CD-1 strain) mice were infected experimentally with metacercariae of Zygocotyle lunata obtained from naturally infected Helisoma trivolvis. Growth, survival, and fecundity of the parasite and gross pathology in the host were evaluated. Metacercariae from 5 snail sources produced 3...

Abstract: Field experiments have been designed to account for spatial Structures since the inception of randomized complete block designs by R. A. Fisher. In recent years, our understanding of spatial structures led to refinements in the design and analysis of field experiments in the face of...

Empirical estimation of R0 for unknown transmission functions: The case of chronic wasting disease in Alberta
Download2015-01-01
Potapov, Alex, Merrill, Evelyn, Pybus, Margo, Lewis, Mark A.
We consider the problem of estimating the basic reproduction number R0 from data on prevalence dynamics at the beginning of a disease outbreak. We derive discrete and continuous time models, some coefficients of which are to be fitted from data. We show that prevalence of the disease is...

Details of the development of endoconidia were basically the same in Endoconidioma populi and Phaeotheca fissurella. In both species, endoconidiogenesis involved (i) subdivision of conidiogenous mother cells by septation to form two to several daughter cells; (ii) accumulation of an electrondense...

Endogenous hypothalamic somatostatins differentially regulate growth hormone secretion from goldfish pituitary somatotropes in vitro
Download2003
Davis, P.J., Peter, R.E., Chang, J.P., Graves, C., Smith, S., Rivier, J.E., Yunker, W.Y., Unniappan, S.
Using Southern blot analysis of RT-PCR products, mRNA for three different somatostatin (SS) precursors (PSS-I, -II, and -III), which encode for SS14, goldfish brain (gb)SS28, and [Pro2]SS14, respectively, were detected in goldfish hypothalamus. PSS-I and -II mRNA, but not PSS-III mRNA, were also...

Endogenous melanocortin antagonist in fish: Structure, brain mapping and regulation by fasting of the goldfish agouti-related protein gene
Download2003
Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin. In mammals, central AGRP expression is restricted to the arcuate nucleus in which it plays a key role in the control of energy balance by antagonizing melanocortin effects at melanocortin 4 receptors. In goldfish,...
