Nesting ecology of a population of red-necked grebes in Northwestern Ontario
(2001)
One of the largest, documented breeding populations of Red-necked Grebes
(Podiceps grisegena holboelli) in the world was studied at Whitefish Lake, Ontario in
1993 and 1994. Whitefish Lake (WFL) represents a unique area ...
The Decline of a Northern Lake Superior marsh : a study of the cause and effect
(2009)
This study quantified the loss of vegetation in Mission Marsh located within the city limits of Thunder Bay on the northern shore of Lake Superior, suggested the most likely cause of this vegetation loss, and examined in ...
Efficacy of various Hypholoma spp. and Phlebiopsis gigantea as biocontrol agents against root rotting fungi Armillaria ostoyae
(2019)
Conifer plantations are thinned to maximise production of high-quality timber for lumber, fire wood, and utility poles. However, thinning increases susceptibility to pathogens such as Armillaria ostoyae, a native basidiomycete ...
Evaluating spatial variation in food web connectivity and energetics within the Lake Superior fish community
(2019)
Habitat coupling integrates energy between habitats, a process known to contribute to food web stability, and has been observed in Lake Superior. The degree of coupling differs among species, but the extent to which it may ...
Studies on phosphate solubilizing bacteria from two lakes in central southern Ontario
(2019)
It has been well documented that phosphorus pollution has been one of the most significant factors inhibiting aquatic health on Lake Simcoe. However, reports on the impacts of microbial contribution to phosphorus levels ...
Density-dependent habitat selection alters fitness in a clonal hexapod
(2019)
Density-dependent habitat selection shapes the distribution and abundance of organisms
and thus informs our understanding of the eco-evolutionary process. When habitat choice
is contingent on an individual’s expectation ...
Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) re-establishment through mechanical removal of invasive cattails (Typha angustifolia L.)
(2019)
Re-establishment of wild rice following the removal of the invasive cattail, Typha angustifolia,
was examined in a traditional and culturally important stand of wild rice belonging to the Seine
River First Nation on Rainy ...
Water chemistry: its effects on amphibians in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2004)
Understanding the role that abiotic environmental factors play in determining the distribution of organisms is of fundamental importance to ecologists. Most amphibians are inherently dependent on aquatic habitats and ...
Riparian habitat and vegetation recovery of headwater streams after clearcut harvesting
(2009)
In this thesis I examined two important aspects of clearcut harvesting along small headwater streams and their riparian zones. The objectives of the study were: 1) to investigate the impacts of clearcut harvesting on the ...
Diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy
(2019)
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. In the ...
