  • Compartmental models of nitrogen cycling in tropical and temperate marine environments 

    LaRoche, J., and W. G. Harrison. 1987. "Compartmental models of nitrogen cycling in tropical and temperate marine environments." Marine ecology progress series.Oldendorf 38(2): 137-149.
    Time-course measurements of super(15)N tracer kinetics in particulate organic and in NH super(+) sub(4) pools from tropical and temperate regions were used to test several compartmental models describing the exchange of ...

  • Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem 

    Lauzon-Guay, Jean-Sebastien, Robert E. Scheibling, and Myriam A. Barbeau. 2008. "Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem." Marine Ecology Progress Series 375: 25-39. doi:10.3354/meps07758
    The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ...

  • Pacific Salmon in Hot Water: Applying Aerobic Scope Models and Biotelemetry to Predict the Success of Spawning Migrations 

    Farrell, A. P., S. G. Hinch, S. J. Cooke, DA Patterson, et al. 2008. "Pacific Salmon in Hot Water: Applying Aerobic Scope Models and Biotelemetry to Predict the Success of Spawning Migrations." Physiological and Biochemical Zoology 81(6): 697-708. doi:10.1086/592057
    Concern over global climate change is widespread, but quantifying relationships between temperature change and animal fitness has been a challenge for scientists. Our approach to this challenge was to study migratory ...
