Movements, survival and habitat use by elk (Cervus elaphus) reintroduced to Northwestern Ontario
(2003)
Once native to Ontario, eastern elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) occupied much
of the deciduous forest biome of eastern North America. However, increasing human
settlement, as well as demands for meat and agricultural ...
Status of turtle populations in Point Pelee National Park
(2003)
Loss of biodiversity has been an irrepressible consequence of growing human populations and
resource use. Some groups, such as turtles, are especially vulnerable because of their natural
history. Turtles are threatened ...
Health, nutritional condition, and productivity of female moose (Alces alces) in Northwestern Ontario
(2003)
Creation or maintenance of moose habitat through logging requires an understanding of
how particular timber-harvest practices affect nutritional interactions of adult females and their
subsequent production of young. I ...
Pattern and chronology of prebasic moult in wood-warblers (Parulidae)
(2003)
This study compared the pattern and chronology of the prebasic moult in
seven warbler species (Parulidae) at two locations in Ontario. Yellow Warblers
{Dendroica petechia) were the earliest to start flight feather moult. ...
Efficacy and optimization of molecular techniques for sexing skeletonized human remains
(2003)
Forensic anthropologists and bioarchaeologists are often confronted with the problem of
sex determination in poorly preserved, skeletonized, adult, human remains. This thesis
tests the ability o f newly developed DNA ...
Effectiveness of self-restoration for two small mine impacted shield lakes
(2003)
Cleaver Lake and Horneblende Lake in the Whitesand Watershed were studied for the impact of mining and milling activities. No release of zinc, copper, iron, or manganese was detected in aerated sediment samples and there ...
Ecology of pathogenic Escherichia coli in water : survival and molecular detection
(2003)
Recently there has been a surge of interest in the ability of enterohemmorhagic
Escherichia coli (EHEC) to survive in aquatic environments. It has been speculated a
correlation may exist between the genotype of an E. ...
A longitudinal mitochondrial DNA analysis of modern human hair samples from the Anyang region of China : implications for ancient DNA research
(2003)
In 1998, Dr. E. Molto was selected to conduct pilot research on the Hei Heru, Shang
Dynasty site in Anyang, China. A major component of this research is the ancient DNA
analysis o f human remains recovered at Anyang. ...
Effects of timber management practices on the use of aquatic feeding areas by moose (Alces alces) in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and boreal transition forests of Central Ontario
(2003)
During spring and summer in Ontario, moose are commonly observed at sites known as
moose aquatic feeding areas. Feeding on aquatic vegetation is thought to be an important source
of sodium for moose at this time of year. ...
