Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Agricultural intensification simplifies natural landscapes and frequently results in the loss of biodiversity. Wetlands are highly productive and may offset these losses, but the amount of wetland area need…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Understanding bird habitat selection has become a priority in conservation, particularly for bird species facing long-term population declines. The Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia (Linnaeus, 1758)), a species…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Many parameters used to investigate stress in vertebrates are temporally sensitive. The act of capture and sampling can influence them, hindering their functionality for evaluating the effects of stressors….
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 464-473, July 2022. Identifying causes of wildlife mortality can yield an understanding of the factors that impact wildlife health. This is particularly significant for species that are facing pop…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Resource selection informs understanding of a species’ ecology and is especially pertinent for invasive species. Since introduced to Canada, wild pigs (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1978) remain understudied despite…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Upper canines do not usually appear in the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus (Linnaeus, 1758)) and their occasional appearance represents the expression of a tooth, as a rudimentary canine, which has been suppr…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Fluctuations in food supply are frequent in nature during seasons, in different stages of annual cycle of animals, and lately, climate change has become a strong driving force that could affect food supply….
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Habitat preferences in animals are often examined during the breeding period when individuals are easier to observe. However, habitat use may change once young become independent and if resource availabilit…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The geographical itineraries of Thomas Drummond’s two separate expeditions to Canada (1825–1827) and the United States of America (1831–1835) are used to provide historical context for the specimens collect…
