Abstract: <p>Early developmental stages of cold-adapted ectotherms such as brook trout </p><p>(Salvelinus fontinalis) are at risk of mortality with increasing water temperatures because </p><p>of their sensitivity to changes in their environment. I studied the mass and routine </p><p>metabolic rate (RMR) of wild-origin brook trout eggs, alevin and young fry reared… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Bell, Allan Henry, Thesis advisor (ths): Ridgway, Mark, Degree committee member (dgc): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Fox, Michael, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Blackfin Cisco (Coregonus nigripinnis), a deepwater cisco species once endemic to the Laurentian Great Lakes, was discovered in Algonquin Provincial Park in four lakes situated within a drainage outflow of glacial Lake Algonquin. Blackfin habitat preference was examined by analyzing which covariates best described their depth distribution using hurdle models in a multi-model approach.… more

Evaluating Environmental DNA (eDNA) Detection of Invasive Water Soldier (Stratiotes Aloides)

Name(s): Creator (cre): Marinich, Allison, Thesis advisor (ths): Freeland, Joanna, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Crins, Bill, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>In 2008, the first North American water soldier (Stratiotes aloides) population was discovered in the Trent River, Ontario. Water soldier is an invasive aquatic plant with sharp, serrated leaves that has the potential to spread rapidly through dispersed vegetative fragments. Although it is too late to prevent water soldier establishment in the Trent River, its local distribution remains… more
