Effect of Coronary Ablation and Adrenergic-Stimulation on In-Vivo Cardiac-Performance in Trout (Oncorhynchus-Mykiss)
(1994-01)
In fish, catecholamine-induced changes in cardiac performance in vivo are the result of complex interactions between the direct adrenergic effects on the heart and peripheral circulation and the reflex responses to increased ...
Male and female pollination success in a deceptive orchid, a selection study
(1998-06)
We carried out phenotypic selection analyses to assess the relative importance of several Horal traits, as well as microhabitat, in determining both male and female pollination success in a nonrewarding orchid (Cypripedium ...
Community Dynamics on a Subtidal Cobble Bed Following Mass Mortalities of Sea Urchins
(1990)
The macrobenthic community of a shallow subtidal cobble bed at Eagle Head on the Atlantic coast
of Nova Scotia [Canada] was monitored from ca 4 mo before to 41 mo after mass mortalities of sea
urchins Strongylocentrotus ...
Physical and biological factors influencing mussel (Mytilus trossulus, M. edulis) settlement on a wave-exposed rocky shore
(1996)
Settlement rates of mussels Mytilus trossulus and M. edulis on artificial collectors (aquarium
filter wool) and natural substrata were measured in tidepools and on emergent rock in recently
ice-scoured and non-scoured ...
Acoustical features of song categories of the Adelaide's warbler (Dendroica adelaidae)
(1996)
I identified acoustical features that distinguish the two song categories, A and B, of the Adelaide';s Warbler (Dendroica adelaidae). Like many other wood-warbler species, male Adelaide';s Warblers have functionally ...

Recurrent outbreaks of disease in sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in Nova Scotia: Evidence for a link with large-scale meteorologic and oceanographic events
(1997-06)
Recurrent outbreaks of a disease (paramoebiasis, caused by a marine amoeba Paramoeba invadens)
result in mass mortalities of sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in the rocky subtidal
zone of the Atlantic coast ...
Structure and dynamics of mussel patches in tidepools on a rocky shore in Nova Scotia, Canada
(1995)
The distribution, size structure, and dynamics of mussel (Mytilus trossulus, M. edulis) patches
in tidepools were studied on an exposed rocky shore near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The mussel
patches were dynamic, ...
Larval cardiorespiratory ontogeny and allometry in Xenopus laevis
(1995)
Very little is known about the early development of cardiorespiratory regulatory mechanisms in newly hatched amphibian larvae. We tested whether early cardiovascular responses to hypoxia reflect local flow regulation in ...
Procedural effects of prey tethering experiments: Predation of juvenile scallops by crabs and sea stars
(1994)
This study examines the effects of an experimental tethering procedure often used in field
predation experiments. In laboratory experiments, juvenile sea scallops Placopecten magellanicus,
either free or tethered, were ...
