The Oaks Experiments on Organic Management of Turf: Final Industry Report
(Edmonds Landscape and Construction Services Limited, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada., 1996-10-30)
The Oaks experiments were designed to address practical questions about organic management of turfs (lawns, sports fields etc.), notably: (i) How do we use organic fertilizers and soil-building amendments on turf for maximum ...
Refuge dynamics and metapopulation dynamics: An experimental test
(1996-03)
Red scale, an insect pest of citrus, is under control by the parasitoid Aphytis melinus in many areas, and in our study area the interaction appears dynamically stable. The bark on the interior branches and trunk of trees ...
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon .1. Morphometry of gills, yolk sac and body surface
(1996-12)
During development from larva to juvenile in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, there is a change in the anatomical potential for gas exchange among gills, body skin and yolk sac as the larvae resorb yolk, grow and develop ...
The respiratory development of Atlantic salmon: II. Partitioning of oxygen uptake among gills, yolk sac and body surfaces
(1996)
During post-hatch development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), O-2 uptake partitioning changes from primarily cutaneous to primarily branchial. Over 80% of post-hatch O-2 uptake was cutaneous, with the yolk sac responsible ...
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 ...
Spatial heterogeneity of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools: Effects of abiotic and biotic factors
(1996-01)
In any ecological system, the factors that regulate the abundance of species vary with spatial
scale; therefore, the sources of spatial variability should be described. We examined different
sources of variability in the ...
Top down and bottom-up regulation of phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools
(1996-12)
We examined the relative importance of bottom-up (nutrient availability) and top-down (grazing)
factors in regulating phytoplankton assemblages in tidepools on a rocky shore near Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Canada. We manipulated ...
Preliminary observations of the status of shallow water reefs at Sandy Island, Carriacou, Grenada
(1996-10-29)
Sandy Island is an uninhabited cay lying off the west coast of Carriacou. Surrounded by clear waters and coral
reefs, with an extensive white sand beach and quiet water on its south side and a palm canopy on the island, ...
