Using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach to inform the development of a multispecies fishery management plan
(2011-10-18)The Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation would like to develop a livelihood fishery to sustain a moderate livelihood. The Sustainable Livelihood Framework guided the identification of challenges and opportunities that the Paqtnkek ... -
Using Vocal Behaviour to Reform the Conservation of Canada Warblers (Wilsonia canadensis)
(2011-03)The Canada Warbler (Wilsonia canadensis) is a declining neotropical migratory songbird that breeds in Canada and the USA and winters in South America. Between 1968 and 2007, its abundance declined an estimated 4.5% per ... -

Variation in egg spawning among subpopulations of sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis: a theoretical approach
(2001)Variation in zygote production, by determining the initial size of the larvalpool, can aff ect the population dynamics of marine invertebrates with a planktonic larval stage. In this paper, we model temporal and spatial ... -
Variation in milk production and lactation performance in grey seals and consequences for pup growth and weaning characteristics
(1999-12)Phocid seals are one of the few groups of mammals capable of sustaining the energetic demands of lactation entirely through body nutrient stores while fasting. Lactation performance of the female in turn influences the ... -
Variations in heat flow across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins
(1991)Presents the results of 44 new heat flow stations which were taken in 1984 and 1989 in profiles across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins (NE Atlantic Ocean). Simple extensional models indicate that the ... -
Variations in Sampling Procedure and Frequency Affect Estimates of Recruitment of Barnacles
(1993-09)The influence of variations in sampling procedure and frequency on estimates of recruitment of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (L.) on an intertidal rocky shore at Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada was determined from ... -
Veggies on Campus - Where, Why & How Dalhousie Students Access Fresh Produce
(2020-04)In this study, the purchasing patterns of fresh produce amongst Dalhousie students on the Halifax campuses are identified and assessed in order to determine correlating factors and variables pertaining to the logistics ... -
VELOCITY STRUCTURE OF A METHANE HYDRATE STABILITY ZONE, OFFSHORE VANCOUVER ISLAND
(1998-04-15)The occurrence of methane hydrates within marine sediments of the accretionary prism of the Cascadia Margin, offshore Vancouver Island has been inferred by the occurrence of a bottom simulating reflector (BSR), which is ... -
Vermicomposting Pilot Project: in the Life Sciences Center
(2005-04)This research study took place at Dalhousie University on the Studley Campus in the Life Sciences Center (LSC). The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using vermicomposting, or worm composting, as a ... -
Vertical migration, nutrition and toxicity in the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense
(1997)The effect of nitrate-N availability on paralytic shellfish toxin production by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense was studied in a vertically stratified laboratory water column (tank) where swimming behavior could ... -
The vertical structure of tropical convection and its impact on the budgets of water vapor and ozone
(2005-05)No abstract available. -
The vertical structure of tropical convection and its impact on the budgets of water vapor and ozone
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Convective clouds in the Tropics that penetrate the boundary layer inversion preferentially detrain into a shallow outflow layer (2-5 km) or a deep outflow layer (10-17 km). The properties of these layers are diagnosed ... -
Vessel needs, preferences, and restrictions related to minimizing risk to whales without compromising vessel operations and the safety of navigation [graduate project]
(2015-11-23)New approaches to large whale conservation make use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs such as ocean gliders) to acoustically detect whales in near real-time, and send ‘whale alert’ information on whale locations to ... -
A Vigorous Starburst in the SCUBA Galaxy N2 850.4
(2003-07-11)We present optical and near-IR spectroscopy of a z=2.38 hyperluminous IR galaxy, covering the restframe wavelength range from 1000-5000A. It appears to comprise two components separated by less than 1" on the sky (<8kpc); ... -
