Effects of aspen harvesting on groundwater recharge and water table dynamics in a subhumid climate
Download2011
Devito, K.J., Mendoza, C.A., Smerdon, B.D., Carrera-Hernández, J. J., Petrone, R.M.
Numerical experiments were developed using different water table depths and soil textures to investigate the impact of aspen harvesting on hydrological processes on the Western Boreal Plain. The effect of harvesting on soil moisture dynamics, fluxes at the water table, and water table fluctuation...

Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis on non-target herbivore and natural enemy assemblages in tropical irrigated rice
Download2003
Cohen, Michael, B., Gaolach, Bradley, Viagante, Vicente D., Zhang, Wenjun, Schoenly, Kenneth G., Barrion, Alberto, T.
Endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produced in transgenic pest-resistant Bt crops are generally not toxic to predatory and parasitic arthropods. However, elimination of Bt-susceptible prey and hosts in Bt crops could reduce predator and parasitoid abundance and thereby disrupt biological...

Effects of bulky polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon adducts on DNA replication by exonuclease-deficient T7 and T4 DNA polymerases
Download1998
Day, B. W., Reha-Krantz, L., Shukla, R., Melacrinos, A., Keohavong, P.
Abstract: In vitro DNA replication by exonuclease-deficient T7 DNA polymerase (Sequenase) and an exonuclease deficient T4 DNA polymerase was examined on a 244-nucleotide DNA template treated with three electrophilic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites: racemic...

Effects of climate and forest structure on duration of forest tent caterpillar outbreaks across central Ontario, Canada
Download1998
Cooke, B., Roland, J., Mackey, B. G.
Abstract: We examined the effect of forest structure and climate enlarge-scale and long-term patterns of outbreaks of forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hbn., across central Ontario. This was done using previously published data on outbreak duration and forest heterogeneity, combined...

Welz, M., Faulkner, S.G., Tonn, W.M., Schmitt, D.R.
Industrial development, including geophysical exploration and mining, has increased use of explosives in and near fish habitat. To protect fish and their incubating eggs, Canadian blasting guidelines contain maximum allowable limits for overpressure and peak particle velocity (PPV). Although many...

Effects of exposure to pheromone and insecticide constituents of an attracticide formulation on reproductive behavior of oriental fruit moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Download2005
Evenden, M. L., Czokajlo, D., McLaughlin, J. R.
Abstract: The effect of exposure to both the pheromone and insecticide constituents of an attracticide formulation on subsequent pberomonal response of male oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busek) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), was tested in several wind tunnel bioassays. Male response to...

Effects of forest harvesting and fire on fish assemblages in Boreal Plains lakes: A reference condition approach
Download2003
Scrimgeour, G.J., Lange, M., Prepas, E.E., Westcott, K., Aku, P.K.M., Paszkowski, C.A., Tonn, W.M.
To assess the impacts of forest harvesting and fires on lentic fish assemblages in the Boreal Plains ecoregion (Alberta, Canada), we applied a reference condition approach to 37 lakes in burned, logged, or undisturbed catchments. Fish assemblages in the reference lakes were classified into two...

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Pairing Success of Ovenbirds: Importance of Male Age and Floater Behavior
Download2001
Bayne, Erin M., Hobson, Keith A.
Between 1996 and 1998, we compared pairing success of territorial male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) in forest fragments created by forestry (n 5 3) and agriculture (n 5 10) to contiguous forest plots (n 5 3) in the southern boreal mixedwood forest of central Saskatchewan. The percentage of...

McCauley, E., Lewis, Mark A., Lutscher, F.
The question how aquatic populations persist in rivers when individuals are constantly lost due to downstream drift has been termed the “drift paradox.” Recent modeling approaches have revealed diffusion-mediated persistence as a solution. We study logistically growing populations with and...
