Fatty acid profiles in the gonads of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis on natural algal diets
(2008)
We examined fatty acid (FA) compositions of gonads of the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus
droebachiensis collected from a grazing aggregation (front) at the edge of a kelp bed and from
barrens dominated by coralline ...
Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, [mailto:ir@int-res.com],
[URL:http://www.int-res.com/], 2008-03)
The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2
community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the
shift from barrens to a kelp bed ...
Body condition at weaning affects the duration of the postweaning fast in gray seal pups (Halichoerus grypus)
(2008-05)
Gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) undergo a terrestrial postweaning fast (PWF) that depletes
energy reserves acquired during the suckling interval. Plasticity in PWF duration may ensure that
pups of variable body condition ...
Identifying Canadian Freshwater Fishes through DNA Barcodes
(2008-06)
Background: DNA barcoding aims to provide an efficient method for species-level identifications
using an array of species specific molecular tags derived from the 59 region of the mitochondrial
cytochrome c oxidase I ...
Conservation genetics as applied evolution: from genetic pattern to evolutionary process
(2008-02)
Conservation genetics can be seen as the effort to influence the evolutionary process in ways that enhance the persistence of populations. Much published research in the field applies genetic sampling techniques to infer ...
