Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The greatest driver of the current biodiversity crisis is habitat loss. Roads are a major contributor to habitat loss because they destroy and fragment habitat, in addition to causing direct mortality. Anim…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Overwintering in shallow habitats presents a serious obstacle for aquatic invertebrates. Here we investigated the little-known ability of water boatmen (Hemiptera: Corixidae), an aquatic insect, to survive …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Research into predator–prey interactions has focused on the landscape of fear and nonconsumptive effects that result from prey responses. Prey behavior is influenced by predator presence and the location an…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Home ranges are vitally important to an animal’s behavior, survival, and reproduction. Variation in environmental conditions and landscape composition coupled with differences between sexes can influence ho…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The stable isotope values of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) have been widely used in ecological studies to decipher the trophic relationships and interactions that occur between living organisms. The aim…

Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The feeding ecology of two populations of the sea anemone Bunodosoma zamponii Gomes, Schama & Solé-Cava 2012 living under different anthropogenic pressures in the coast of Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, A…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Compared to trial-and-error learning, learning from others is often a viable means of adding new adaptive behaviours to an individual’s repertoire. This is especially true in long-lived, group-living specie…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. We describe the first known case of disproportionate dwarfism in bats. The specimen is an adult male Seba’s short-tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758), captured in a ground-level mist net dur…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Heavy infestations with winter ticks (Dermacentor albipictus (Packard, 1869)) have been associated with mortality of moose (Alces alces (Linnaeus, 1758)). Recumbency is an obligate behaviour for moose when …
