Macrophyte Community Dynamics in Lake Simcoe’s Fringe Wetlands: Potential use as Biological Indicators of Water Quality
(2016)
Indices have been developed using macrophytes and water quality parameters to detect
the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes, but such an index
does not currently exist for Lake ...
Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Regeneration in Post-fire Cryptogamic Mats
(2016)
Post-fire black spruce (Picea mariana Mill.) regeneration has received
considerable attention in management of the boreal forest of eastern Canada. Seedbed
quality is a key factor for seed germination and early seedling ...
Predicting mixing trends in mine-receiving waters using water quality modeling
(2016)
Complete mixing of the water column of lakes is important to ensure that nutrients and dissolved oxygen are replenished and equalized throughout the lake. This ensures that organisms within the lake at all trophic levels ...
Studies on water quality of aquaculture farms with an emphasis on Flavobacterium psychrophilum and UV treatment
(2016)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the causative agent of Coldwater Disease, affects salmonid fish in aquaculture operations worldwide and causes skin lesions which if left untreated results in spinal deformities, spiral swimming ...
Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside reduces cell death and upregulates antioxidants in cardiac iron overload
(2016)
Iron is essential to many biological and metabolic processes used in all organisms, but excess iron can result in complications such as cirrhosis, diabetes, and heart failure. Cardiac iron overload has been linked to ...
Habitat selection in the Common Five-lined Skink near the northern extent of its range
(2016)
The study of habitat selection is vital to identify potential threats and to conserve species at risk. The consequences of living in a particular habitat can influence processes beyond the individual with observable effects ...
Examining the Role of Ascorbic Acid in Prevention of Heterotopic Ossification
(2016)
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a condition in which mature bone forms in a non-osseous tissue
following extreme trauma such as injury or surgery (1]. It is thought that a particular cell type
known as mesenchymal ...
