Forage fish in decline: Understanding the usage and management of bait fisheries in the Maritimes Region
(2023-05-30)Many commercial fisheries of great socio-economic importance in Canada rely on bait, such as the lobster, crab and groundfish fisheries. In the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritimes Region, traditional species of ... -
Foraging Ecology of Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy
(2010-04)I studied the foraging ecology of the generalist predators Great Black-backed (Larusmarinus) and Herring (Larusargentatus) Gulls on Kent Island, in the Bay of Fundy. To study diet, I collected pellets casted in and around ... -
Foraminifera of the Minas Basin and their Distributions
(1977-08-31)One hundred and twenty-one samples of surficial sediments from all parts of the Minas Basin are analysed for foraminiferal content. Thirty-nine species are identified and described and maps of distribution are presented. This ... -
Foraminiferal assemblage changes over the last 15,000 years on the Mackenzie-Beaufort Sea Slope and Amundsen Gulf, Canada: Implications for past sea ice conditions
(2009-06)Two cores, one from the Beaufort Sea Slope at 1000 m water depth (core 750) and one from the Amundsen Gulf at 426 m (core 124), were collected to help determine paleo-ice cover in the Holocene and late glacial of this area. ... -
Foraminiferal Assemblages From a Sediment Core From the Inner Scotian Shelf: Implications for Till-Tongue Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography
(1995-04-15)The inner Scotian Shelf juxtaposes the Nova Scotia coastline, ending at the 100 m bathymetric contour, and consists of several zones based on seismic sequences and sea-bottom morphology. At the maximum extent of the last ... -

Forced desorption of polymers from interfaces
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2011)In the past decade it has become possible to directly measure the adsorption force of a polymer in contact with a solid surface using single-molecule force spectroscopy. A plateau force in the force-extension curve is often ... -
The Forces Acting on Swimming Squid
(1988)1. Analysis of cine fils and intramantle pressure records for squid Loligo opalescens Berry swimming in a tunnel respirometer provided estimates of all the forces acting in the horizontal and vertical planes for swimming ... -
Forestry Management in Cuba: An Environmental History of the 20th Century
(2008-04)Environmental history explores the relationships and interactions that humans have –and have had- with the environment. These relationships and interactions were researched in the context of the ecological history of ... -

Fossilized Forests of the Lower Carboniferous Horton Blufff Formation, Nova Scotia
(2003-04-15)The Hurd Creek and Blue Beach members of the Horton Bluff Formation (Tournaisian) at Horton Bluff on the Bay of Fundy contain several forested levels. Evidence for standing trees is found in the form of moulds and casts ... -
Fostering Ocean Literacy through Formal Education in Quebec, Canada: A Case Study of Saving a Coastal School
(2020-12)Protecting coastal ecosystems, livelihoods, and identities require the active engagement of ocean literate citizens. Ocean literacy, or the understanding of the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean, can ... -
Fourth-order gradient contributions in extended Thomas-Fermi theory for noninteracting fermions at finite temperature
(1985-12/15)Nonlocal corrections to the free energy of a system of noninteracting fermions are considered within the framework of extended Thomas-Fermi theory. The density and temperature dependence of gradient corrections is given ... -

Free-Space Availability and Larval Substratum Selection as Determinants of Barnacle Population-Structure in a Developing Rocky Intertidal Community
(1993-05)Variation in settlement and recruitment of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (L.) was experimentally investigated in the high, mid and low intertidal zones at 2 adjacent sites (A and B) on a rocky shore in Nova Scotia, ... -
Freshwater Climate Risk Index for Biodiversity (FW-CRIB): Using Climate Change Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (CCVA/CCRA) to Guide Freshwater Management in Canada’s Maritime Provinces
(2023-11)Climate change is occurring globally, impacting the distribution and fitness of organisms and the potential for ecosystems to provide vital services to human societies. In freshwater ecosystems across the globe, increasing ... -
A Fully-Identified Sample of AEGIS20 Microjansky Radio Sources
(2012-09-01)Infrared 3.6 to 8 micron images of the Extended Groth Strip yield plausible counterpart identifications for all but one of 510 radio sources in the AEGIS20 S(1.4 GHz) > 50 micro-Jy sample. This is the first such deep sample ... -
