Right paw foraging bias in wild black bear (Ursus americanus kermodei)T E Reimchen
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, V8W 3N5, Canada
Laterality 16:471-8. 2011..This is the first report of task-specific behavioural lateralisation of a wild carnivore and is suggestive of a right bias (left-hemisphere dominance) in object manipulation...
Nitrogen uptake in riparian plant communities across a sharp ecological boundary of salmon densityD D Mathewson
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 3N5
BMC Ecol 3:4. 2003..To reduce potentially confounding effects of precipitation, substrate and other abiotic variables, we made comparisons across a sharp ecological boundary of salmon density that resulted from a waterfall barrier to salmon migration...
Temporal variation in divergent selection on spine number in threespine sticklebackT E Reimchen
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, PO Box 3020, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 3N5, Canada
Evolution 56:2472-83. 2002..Furthermore, our findings indicate that variable selection can be predicted if the agents of selection are known...
Variable predation regimes predict the evolution of sexual dimorphism in a population of threespine sticklebackT E Reimchen
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, PO Box 3020, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 3N5, Canada
Evolution 58:1274-81. 2004..Replicated shifts in selective regime can demonstrate the primacy of ecological processes in driving evolution and our results illustrate how such shifts are detectable using long-term monitoring of natural populations...
The ecology of asymmetry in stickleback defense structuresThomas E Reimchen
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Evolution 63:115-26. 2009..Our results imply a complex relationship between slight asymmetries and niche space that is relevant to the broader literature on the evolutionary implications of developmental instability and intrapopulation variability...
Spawning salmon disrupt trophic coupling between wolves and ungulate prey in coastal British ColumbiaChris T Darimont
Department of Biology, Box 3020, STN CSC, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 3N5, Canada
BMC Ecol 8:14. 2008..Faecal (n=2203 wolf scats) and isotopic analyses (n=60 wolf hair samples) provide independent data sets, also allowing us to examine how consistent these common techniques are in estimating foraging behaviour...
Landscape heterogeneity and marine subsidy generate extensive intrapopulation niche diversity in a large terrestrial vertebrateChris T Darimont
Department of Biology, PO Box 3020, Station CSC, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3N5
J Anim Ecol 78:126-33. 2009....
Human predators outpace other agents of trait change in the wildChris T Darimont
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, P O Box 3020, STN CSC, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3N5
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:952-4. 2009..Specifically, the widespread potential for transitively rapid and large effects on size- or life history-mediated ecological dynamics might imperil populations, industries, and ecosystems...
Population genomics of parallel phenotypic evolution in stickleback across stream-lake ecological transitionsBruce E Deagle
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Proc Biol Sci 279:1277-86. 2012..Overall, our data emphasize the important role of ecological boundaries in driving both local and broadly occurring parallel genetic changes during adaptation...
Salmon-derived nitrogen in terrestrial invertebrates from coniferous forests of the Pacific NorthwestMorgan D Hocking
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, B, C, V8W 3NS, Canada
BMC Ecol 2:4. 2002....
Salmon subsidize an escape from a size spectrumMorgan D Hocking
Earth to Ocean Research Group, Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Environment, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6
Proc Biol Sci 280:20122433. 2013..Thus, salmon subsidize their escape from the size spectrum. These results suggest that using a size-based perspective of resource subsidies can provide new insights into the structure and functioning of food webs...
Habitat dependent associations between parasitism and fluctuating asymmetry among endemic stickleback populationsC A Bergstrom
Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, Bamfield, BC, Canada
J Evol Biol 18:939-48. 2005..These results are also consistent with previous reports showing that ecological segregation between symmetric and asymmetric G. aculeatus and between sexes can alter the FA/fitness relationship...
Asymmetry in structural defenses: insights into selective predation in the wildC A Bergstrom
Department of Biology, University of Victoria, P O Box 3020, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 3N5, Canada
Evolution 57:2128-38. 2003....
