A population of hot, dusty ultra-luminous galaxies at z~2
(2004-10-20)We report spectroscopic redshifts for 18 microJy-radio galaxies at mean redshift of z=2.2 that are faint at both submmillimeter (submm) and optical wavelengths. While the radio fluxes of these galaxies could indicate ... -
A Population of z > 2 Far-Infrared Herschel-Spire-selected Starbursts
(2012-12)No abstract available. -
Population Structure as Revealed by mtDNA and Microsatellites in Northern Fur Seals, Callorhinus ursinus, throughout Their Range
(2010-05)Background: The northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus; NFS) is a widely distributed pinniped that has been shown to exhibit a high degree of philopatry to islands, breeding areas on an island, and even to specific ... -
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 ... -
Positive Darwinian Selection in the Piston That Powers Proton Pumps in Complex I of the Mitochondria of Pacific Salmon
(2011-09)The mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation is well understood, but evolution of the proteins involved is not. We combined phylogenetic, genomic, and structural biology analyses to examine the evolution of twelve mitochondrial ... -

Post-Pleistocene Sea Level Changes in the Baie Verte Estuary (Northumberland Strait) as Revealed by Foraminiferal Studies
(1980-03-15)Two cores were obtained from the Baie Verte estuary of the Northumberland Strait to study relative sea level changes by examination of foraminiferal distributions. The base of the cores contained a layer of salt marsh ... -
Potential for anthropogenic disturbances to influence evolutionary change in the life history of a threatened salmonid
(2008-05)Although evolutionary change within most species is thought to occur slowly, recent studies have identified cases where evolutionary change has apparently occurred over a few generations. Anthropogenically altered ... -
A Potential Tool to Support the Prioritization of Blue Carbon Ecosystems in Canada
(2021-12)Globally, climate change and various anthropogenic activities have contributed to a significant decline in blue carbon ecosystems over the past few decades. These ecosystems can be prolific at accumulating and sequestering ... -

The Poverty of mathematical and existential truth: examples from fisheries science
(2011-06-27)Several years ago I suggested that the harvesting of our commercial fisheries could be improved if the non-falsifiable models of a fisheries science were to be replaced with the falsiable models of a fisheries economics. ... -

Predicting and verifying the intended and unintended consequences of large-scale ocean iron fertilization
(2008)Ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is being considered as a strategy for mitigating rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. One model for implementation is the sale of carbon offsets. Modeling studies predict that OIF has the ... -
Predicting mesoscale variability of the North Atlantic using a physically motivated scheme for assimilating altimeter and Argo observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2009-07)A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ...
