Spatial heterogeneity of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools: Effects of abiotic and biotic factors
(1996-01)In any ecological system, the factors that regulate the abundance of species vary with spatial scale; therefore, the sources of spatial variability should be described. We examined different sources of variability in the ... -

Spatial Optimisation for River Restoration Planning in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2013-09-04)River restoration is believed to have the greatest chance of success when action is considered in the broader context of the riverscape. However, methods are lacking to fully integrate systemic connectivity into decision-making. ... -
Spatial Overlap Between Human and Coyote (Canis latrans) Activity in Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada
(2013-04-08)Human-coyote conflict has intensified in Nova Scotia, following a fatal attack in Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada (CBHNPC) in October, 2009. This conflict has impacted people and coyotes across the province, ... -
Spatial pattern of the shrub layer across the subarctic landscape of Churchill Manitoba
(2014-03)The shrub layer provides important habitat for wildlife throughout the harsh environment of the arctic tundra landscape. Studies have shown that the shrub layer is expanding in tundra landscapes and changing habitat ... -

SPATIAL POINT PROCESS ANALYSIS OF AT SEA SEAL ENCOUNTERS
(2011-12-16)We consider a data set comprising encounters between gray seals off Sable Island in the autumn of 2009. We apply Spatial Point Pattern data analysis approaches to this data set and demonstrate the effectiveness of ... -
Spatial Protection for Porbeagle Sharks, Lamna nasus, in the Northwest Atlantic: The Road to Recovery? [graduate project].
(2016)Sharks have dominated the seas as apex predators for more than 400 million years, but today they are being fished by humans at an unprecedented rate. Many of the biological characteristics of sharks make them particularly ... -
Spatial Relationships of Frankia and Myrica cerifera on a Virginia, USA Barrier Island

Spatial Variability of Shear Wave Velocity and its effects on Seismic Ground Response
(2021-08-31)Since it is unfeasible to sample every point at a site, there will always be a level of uncertainty in the mechanical properties that are used in geotechnical design. As the geotechnical community transitions towards ... -

Spatial-Temporal Ocean Variability on the northwest slope of Flemish Cap
(2016-12-02)The Flemish Cap is a region impacted by human activities ranging from offshore petroleum exploration to international fisheries. This is an area of complex bathymetry and ocean circulation that is also characterized by ... -
A spatially explicit integrated assessment of a social-ecological system: The Galapagos spiny lobster fishery
(2018-12-17)There is a growing recognition that implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) in combination with co-management regimes can be a solution to enhance the resilience of governing systems to respond to the social-ecological ... -
Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Eggs and Age-0 Striped Bass (Morone Saxatilis) in the Shubenacadie River Estuary
(2013-01-14)The spatio-temporal distribution of age-0 striped bass was evaluated in the Shubenacadie estuary from May to September, 2010 and 2011. From mid-May to the end of June each year there were 2-3 large spawning events resulting ... -
SPATIO-TEMPORAL POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON (PAH) CHARACTERIZATION AND ASSESSMENT IN SMALL CRAFT HARBOUR SEDIMENTS IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2018-12-07)Small craft harbour (SCH) environments play an important role in the fisheries industry of Nova Scotia (NS). SCHs support various fisheries and are federally managed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (Small Craft Harbours), ... -
Spatiotemporal assessment (quarter century) of pulp mill metal(loid) contaminated sediment to inform remediation decisions
(Springer, 2017)A bleached kraft pulp mill in Nova Scotia has discharged effluent wastewater into Boat Harbour, a former tidal estuary within Pictou Landing First Nation since 1967. Fifty years of effluent discharge into Boat Harbour has ... -
Spatiotemporal assessment of axonal transport and cytoskeletal structure in retinal ganglion cells following acute elevated intraocular pressure in the rat
(2017-02-23)Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons relay visual information to the brain via the optic nerves (ONs) and optic tracts of the vertebrate visual pathway. RGC loss leads to irreversible blindness in many optic neuropathies, and ... -
