Post‐release survival, movement and marine migration of smolt‐to‐adult supplemented Atlantic SalmonNARA Subscribed
Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) populations are declining across much of their range, prompting the use of supplementation strategies, such as smolt‐to‐adult supplementation (SAS), to enhance adult returns. However, little is known about how captivity while maturing to adulthood influences post‐release survival, behaviour and migration of salmonids. This study evaluated SAS as a conservation approach by using acoustic telemetr...
Low molecular weight ligands govern Cu(II) binding in beerNARA Subscribed
Invertivore fish predation is an overlooked source of carbonate sediment on a turbid coral reefNARA Subscribed
The geomorphic stability of coral reef islands depends on a continued supply of biologically derived sediment from reefs. However, the ecological processes that produce detrital sediment remain poorly resolved. The role of fishes as sediment producers has largely focused on coral sand generated by parrotfishes (Labridae: Scarinae) in clear-water settings, while the contribution of other groups, such as durophagous invertivores...
Leveraging Pharmacy Education through a Train-the-Trainer Model to Enhance Breast Cancer Literacy in Rural CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Rural versus urban communities experience disproportionate challenges in breast cancer outcomes, with higher breast cancer mortality and later stage disease presentation, despite similar diagnosis rates. These disparities are driven by structural barriers, including rural hospital closures, transportation difficulties, and limited access to oncology specialists. This study evaluated a train-the-trainer program designed to equi...
The ecological effects of high densities of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) are driven by their cumulative feeding pressure on coral assemblages, making accurate predictions of feeding impacts essential for management. Despite this, a limited understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of feeding behaviour, and the environmental and biological drivers underlying them constrains our capacity to predict feedin...
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Significant declines in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) populations across their range have prompted an increased use of hatchery supplementation programmes to support population recovery. However, concerns persist regarding the effectiveness of these programmes due to limited understanding of how hatchery‐reared salmon perform post‐release in natural river systems compared to their wild counterparts. This study examined survi...
Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regional challenges among genetically distinct populations. The Cape Breton Highlands, previously subdivided into two of these DUs, are a particularly understudied region in Atlantic Canada, as a result of limited assessments due to t...
Continental Drivers of Population‐Level Intraspecific Trait Variability in Salamanders, Birds, and Small MammalsNARA Subscribed
Aim Intraspecific trait variability (ITV) is a key component of biodiversity because it informs how organisms respond to abiotic and biotic conditions. Understanding how the variability among individuals within a population (population‐level ITV) changes along environmental gradients offers insight into how local processes contribute to broad‐scale biodiversity patterns. Here, we examine how climate and species‐richness intera...
Effective conservation and enforcement strategies for marine turtles depend on understanding population structure, connectivity, and the geographic origins of turtles impacted by threats such as bycatch, overexploitation, and illegal trade. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data remain fragmented across studies, with inconsistent sequence lengths, haplotype nomenclature, and metadata standards limiting their application in co...
Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ability. The ziphiid genus Berardius is comprised of three extant species; however, a lac...
The Integration of Fire Ecology and Freshwater Ecosystems in North America: Knowledge Gaps and Research NeedsNARA Subscribed
Wildfires, unplanned fires that start and spread under the influence of weather and fuel composition, are increasing in frequency, duration, and severity across North America. While wildfires are one component of wildland fire, a broader natural process in many ecosystems, their changing behavior poses growing ecological and management challenges. Although wildfire is widely recognized as an important disturbance, empirical re...
