Multiaxial Shark Conservation: How vertical distribution can inform marine management
(2023-12)Understanding how sharks are spatially and temporally distributed is critical to formulating effective conservation and management strategies. Many shark species are threatened around the world, and knowledge on diving ... -
Adaptive capacity of marine other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in an era of global climate change: a case study analysis of Canada and the Scotian Shelf
(2023-12)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are often designed and managed with limited consideration of climate change and its impacts, potentially undermining their long-term efficacy. Other effective area-based conservation measures ... -
Examining the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program in Nova Scotia Through a Food Security Lens: Management for Subsistence Shellfish Harvest
(2023-12)Defined as molluscan bivalves, shellfish are an important source of protein for subsistence harvesters in Canada. Due to health risks associated with consuming contaminated shellfish, routine monitoring of the coast is ... -
Enhancing sustainability through aesthetic values: Exploring the role of aesthetic values in the management and planning of marine social-ecological systems in Nova Scotia
(2023-12)Marine and coastal areas offer crucial Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) like enjoyment, inspiration, and aesthetic experiences, which are essential for human well-being. Recognizing and evaluating these CES is vital for ... -
Differential expression of Hdac2 in male and female mice of differing social status
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)Mice naturally form social hierarchies and their experiences as subordinate or dominant mice inform future behavioural strategies. To better understand the neural bases of social dominance, we investigated hippocampal gene ... -
Aberrant cortical activity in 5xFAD mice in response to social and non-social olfactory stimuli (Postprint)
(IOS Press, 2024-01-16)Background: Neuroimaging studies investigating the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD)—such as apathy, anxiety, and depression— have linked some of these symptoms with altered neural activity. However, ... -
Ortho-semantic learning of novel words: An event-related potential study of grade 3 children
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2024)Introduction: As children become independent readers, they regularly encounter new words whose meanings they must infer from context, and whose spellings must be learned for future recognition. The self-teaching hypothesis ... -
Regeneration of Forest and Barrens after the Spryfield Fire
(2010-09-02)This set of annotated photos illustrates the regeneration of vegetation over 16 months after an intense fire that swept through forest and barrens in the vicinity of Spryfield, Nova Scotia on April 30/May 1 of 2009. The ... -
Estimation of growth rate, production and age of the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum König
(University of Puerto Rico, 1973)There is a linear relation between average growth rate and the average maximum leaf length of Thalassia stands. The ratio production-to-standing crop (wet weight including epiphytes) tends to be constant. New foliage leaves ... -
