Growing urbanization adjacent to aquatic systems may alter water, sediment and benthic community interactions. The ecological effects of urbanization on regional, local and site-specific spatial variations of benthic macrofauna and of sediment a[...]

Exotic plants often form the first woody vegetation that grows on abandoned farmland. If this vegetation attracts vertebrate frugivores; which disperse the seeds of native plants, then native plants may recruit to such oldfield sites. However, t[...]

We used a probabilistic decision tree to help select among alternative recovery strategies for the Po'ouli, a critically endangered forest bird endemic to the Hawaiian island of Maui. The Po'ouli is one of the rarest birds in the world, with onl[...]

For protected reserves set aside for conservation, the impact of roads and traffic on wildlife can be severe, particularly for those in the peri-urban environment. Often reserves possess many sealed roads that have regular traffic from tourists [...]

Declines in bee populations have been documented in several parts of the world. Bees are dependent upon flowering plants for resources, and flowering plants often depend upon bees for pollination services. Bees can therefore serve as indicator s[...]

The white-chinned petrel Procellaria aequinoctialis is a medium-sized procellariiform with a circumpolar subAntarctic breeding distribution. Feeding during both day and night, and often competing aggressively for bait, offal and discards, it has[...]

Little is known about the distribution and habitat use of nor-them pygmy owls (Glaucidium gnoma), in Alberta or throughout their range. In Alberta they are ranked as 'sensitive', meaning they are not believed to be at immediate risk of extirpati[...]

Garden floras interact with native biodiversity by providing resources for wildlife and by acting as a source of non-native species. Understanding the composition and richness of garden floras will help evaluate the relationships between these f[...]

A key to conserving organisms is identification of the habitat bounds and essential resources within them. in population studies (metapopulations) of phytophagous arthropods it is tacitly assumed that habitat bounds portray short-term stability [...]
