Critical thinking through the eyes of Richard Paul and Karl Popper
(2014-10-08)
This 1993 workshop marks the beginning of my new logical or metaphysical research program on the application of Karl Popper’s non-inductive theory of method to the management of the World’s commercial fisheries. The view, ...
Contemporary nuclear and mitochondrial genetic clines in a north temperate estuarine fish reflect Pleistocene vicariance
(2011)
Contemporary genetic spatial structure in north temperate marine species is likely the
culmination of multiple vicariant and dispersive cycles. Here we evaluate spatial genetic structure
in an estuarine fish, rainbow ...
Genomic islands of divergence and their consequences for the resolution of spatial structure in an exploited marine fish
(2013-04)
As populations diverge, genomic regions associated with adaptation display elevated
differentiation. These genomic islands of adaptive divergence can inform conservation efforts in
exploited species, by refining the ...
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 ...
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 ...

Ecological Assessment of the Plant Communities of the Williams Lake Backlands
(The Williams Lake Conservation Company, 2014-02-12)
The Williams Lake Backlands (WLB), covering approximately 200 ha, are the larger, undeveloped part of the Williams Lake Watershed which includes Colpitt Lake and Williams Lake. The WLB are part of "Purcell's Cove Backlands" ...
Reflections on the failure of traditional fisheries management
(2017-01)
A traditional fisheries management or fish stock assessment takes a Lamarckian-like instructive view of fisheries science that involves an inductive monism. Its invalid inductive arguments have no problem solving capacity ...
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, 2011)
Fatty acid (FA) analysis is a well-established tool for studying trophic interactions in marine
habitats. However, its application to benthic food webs poses 2 particular challenges. First, unlike
pelagic zooplankton, ...
Spatiotemporal Patterns in Nest Box Occupancy by Tree Swallows Across North America
(2012-06)
Data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) suggest that populations of aerial insectivorous birds are declining, particularly in northeastern regions of the continent, and particularly since the mid-1980s. ...
