Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The family Molossidae includes several species of bats that thrive in tropical and subtropical cities of the world. It has been suggested that the remarkable tolerance of some molossid species to urban life…
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 …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Feeding regimes are a critical process to ensure survival and reproduction, which modulate several behavioral and physiological patterns of ectotherms, especially cardiovascular adjustments. However, crocod…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The Caribbean bivalve Isognomon bicolor (C. B. Adams, 1845) is currently among the main invasive species along the Brazilian coast. The present study evaluated the co-occurrence, influence, and relationship…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Haul-out sites of harbor seals, Phoca vitulina Linnaeus, 1758, include areas with high levels of anthropogenic noise. In some cases, seals haul out at night when there are lower in-air noise levels. However…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Knowledge on the diet of the Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus Swainson, 1832) is fragmentary and relies on a limited number of studies. Gaps remain in our understanding of the plasticity of its di…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Fatty acids play a critical role in embryonic development of cephalopods. However, little information is available on the allocation of fatty acids to eggs during oogenesis, limiting our understanding regar…
