Population Dynamics And Persistence Of An Invasive Species In Kelp Bed Ecosystems In The Northwest Atlantic Ocean
(2018-07-16)The bryozoan Membranipora membranacea is an ecologically significant invasive species in the northwest Atlantic where it has facilitated substantial defoliation of kelp beds and dramatically altered rocky subtidal habitats. ... -
Population dynamics and seed feeding tendencies of field crickets (Gryllidae) in wild blueberry fields
(2021-08-31)Gryllus pennsylvanicus (Gryllidae), are post-dispersal seed consumers, common in wild blueberry fields. Laboratory and field studies were conducted during the summer-fall season of 2019 in wild blueberry fields. Field ... -

(Dalhousie University, 1993) -
Population genetics of the green sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Population regulation of sea urchins in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(2015-03-31)Herbivory by sea urchins is an important control of seaweed biomass worldwide. For my doctoral thesis, I investigate biological processes that govern the dynamics of a kelp bed ecosystem on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia: ... -
POPULATION STATUS AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF NORTHERN BOTTLENOSE WHALES (HYPEROODON AMPULLATUS) ON THE SCOTIAN SHELF
(2013-08-14)I examined the dynamics of an endangered population of northern bottlenose whales over a 23-year period during which its prime habitat, the Gully canyon, was made a Marine Protected Area (MPA). Using mark-recapture techniques ... -
Population Status of Exploited Marine Fish Populations
(2014-12-23)Estimating the population status and trajectory of marine fishes is hampered by limited data and the assumptions needed to augment these data gaps can have broad implications. Poor management decisions based on poor ... -
Population Structure of River Herring (Alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, and Blueback Herring, Alosa aestivalis) Examined using Neutral Genetic Markers
(2013-04-05)Incorporating molecular genetic data into management decisions would provide fisheries managers with new tools to identify the magnitude of population structure, metapopulation dynamics, at risk populations, and possible ... -
Population structures and management of the redfishes (Sebastes spp.: Scorpaendae) of the Scotian Shelf.
(Dalhousie University, 1984) -
The Population Uptake of Laparoscopic Colon Cancer Surgery in Canada:2004-2014
(2017-06-07)BACKGROUND Although the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in colon cancer (LAC) have been established, the proportion of colectomies for cancer being performed laparoscopically (use) and uptake (change in use) ... -
Portrait of the Incarcerated Woman as a Reading Mother: Revealing the Perceived Outcomes of a Shared Reading Program
(2017-08-25)Each year, 25 000 Canadian children will not share a bedtime story with their mother because their mother is incarcerated. For many families, contact with their incarcerated mother is rare. The separation caused by maternal ... -
Positron annihilation study of aluminum-copper-iron FCI quasicrystals.

Post COVID-19 Patient Throughput Simulation for Surgical Resource Allocation
(2021-07-06)In response to COVID-19, many elective surgical procedures in Nova Scotia were cancelled resulting in an increased waitlist. A discrete event simulation approach may provide strategies for waitlist management. Descriptive ... -
Post-Auricular Orientation of Auditory Attention in Sound Field versus Virtual Sound Space
(2023-04-13)The post-auricular muscle in many species changes the orientation of the external ears to improve hearing for biologically relevant sounds. The same muscle exists in humans and is modulated by sound, but humans cannot ... -
