Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Human-induced noise, particularly from shipping and construction, significantly affects the stress responses of swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus (Miers, 1876)). Prolonged exposure can lead to stres…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Species reintroductions have the potential to cause genetic bottleneck events resulting in increased genetic drift, increased inbreeding, and reduced genetic diversity creating negative fitness consequences…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Grassland alvar is a rare plant community that occurs throughout North America and northern Europe, and may require control of encroaching vegetation to be maintained or restored. We evaluated the hypothesi…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Many animal life-history stages center around residences (nests, roosts, etc.) where the availability of resources within an optimal range can affect fitness. Understanding factors influencing residence sel…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Volume 102, Issue 3, Page 298-314, March 2024. We describe Argolebias adrianae, a new species of killifish from a small temporary wetland in the Paraná Forest ecoregion with no regular or predictable temporal pattern of wa…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Many aerial insects are declining, yet monitoring wildlife in airspace is challenging. Aerial insectivores, which are themselves a declining guild, may be useful indicators for aerial insects. However, thei…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Recent research has shown that songbirds that reside at low altitudes can ascend to ∼6000 m above sea level during migratory flight. Since migratory flight is aerobically demanding, whether migratory songbi…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The triple threats of climate change, habitat loss, and environmental pollution have stimulated discussion on how urban areas can be modified to mitigate heat increases and provide habitat for wildlife such…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. In snakes that are known to be ambush predators, tail luring, in which the movement of a snake’s tail resembles that of a worm or insect larva and is used to attract prey, has emerged as a complementary hun…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Amphisbaenians usually have a diet composed of a wide variety of small arthropods, with some species being more selective in their feeding and others considered more generalist. Using only specimens deposit…
