Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The geographical range of the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say, 1821) in Canada is expanding northwards into areas where ticks experience colder temperatures during winter. Understanding the a…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. We studied calls of three sandpiper species to document species’ similarities and differences. We hypothesized that functionally different calls would differ in degree of divergence. We studied two nuptial …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Emerging infectious diseases can have substantial impacts on wildlife health, but also provide an opportunity to understand how populations respond to novel selective pressures. White-nose syndrome (WNS) ha…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Unionid mussels are imperiled worldwide. Understanding the impacts of thermal and hypoxia stress on larval (glochidia) and adult physiology is critical for understanding the potential impacts of climate cha…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Allometric analyses of sexually selected structures have revealed many patterns of evolutionary and behavioural significance, for example, in weapons, ornaments, and genitalia. We investigated allometry of …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Many factors influence the structure of natural assemblages. Species interaction and environmental factors may generate deterministic patterns, whereas dispersal and ecological drift may generate stochastic…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Phenotypic plasticity manifested after acclimatization is a very important source of biological variability among fish species. We hypothesized that hypoxic acclimation, besides potentially generating a tem…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 486-498, June 2023. We describe a slender immature female blindsnake from the main airport in Dili, Timor-Leste, as a new species of Indotyphlops, adding a third species to the country’s known bli…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Scatterhoarder responses to factors that influence stored food (i.e., flooding) is important given the strong reliance on hoarded food for survival. We examined how eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinen…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Understanding microhabitat use is needed to make sound conservation decisions for at-risk, patchy-habitat specialists, such as rock-habitat specialists. Rock habitats offer unique microclimatic refugia for …
