Salt marshes in Nova Scotia: a status report of the Saltmarsh Working Group
(Institute of Resource and Environmental Studies and Department of Biology, Dalhousie University, 1981-06-01)
There are approximately 80,000 acres of salt marsh land in Nova Scotia of which approximately 43,000 acres have been dyked for agricultural use. Salt marsh lands have served as major producers of food in estuarine regions. ...
The ecology of transition
(COGnition (Eco-Farm & Garden), 1988)
A popular account of scientific research on the processes involved in the transition of a mixed laying hen-grain farm In the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia from conventional to organic management.

The dystroglycan complex is necessary for stabilization of acetylcholine receptor clusters at neuromuscular junctions and formation of the synaptic basement membrane
(2001-02)
The dystrophin-associated protein (DAP) complex spans the sarcolemmal membrane linking
the cytoskeleton to the basement membrane surrounding each myofiber. Defects in the DAP
complex have been linked previously to a ...
The Oaks Experiments on Organic Management of Turf: Final Industry Report
(Edmonds Landscape and Construction Services Limited, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada., 1996-10-30)
The Oaks experiments were designed to address practical questions about organic management of turfs (lawns, sports fields etc.), notably: (i) How do we use organic fertilizers and soil-building amendments on turf for maximum ...
Evaluation of low external input, sustainable farming practices for livestock farms in Cumberland County
(REAP-Cumberland, Shinimicas, Nova Scotia, 1993-06-01)
Existing livestock systems in Cumberland Co. rely mainly on grass, clover and spring cereals for home grown forage and grain. There are well known limitations to these systems on the fragipan or basil till soils which ...

Columbia, Canada) en route to ...
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis: A new method of estimating predator diets
(2004-05)
Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many
species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of
fatty acids and their ...
Population-specific gene expression responses to hybridization between farm and wild Atlantic salmon
(2009-11)
Because of intrinsic differences in their genetic architectures, wild populations invaded by
domesticated individuals could experience population-specific consequences following introgression
by genetic material of ...
Individual variation in Atlantic salmon fertilization success: Implications for effective population size
(2002-02)
Mating structure can influence the variance in individual reproductive success, which in turn
has important implications for a population's effective size. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
males are characterized by alternative ...
