Abstract

Samples of longhorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus) were exposed to sediment contaminated with crude oil or pulp and paper mill effluent for periods up to 13 months in the laboratory. Other samples were collected at sites where crude oil or effluent from a pulp and paper mill are discharged. The intensity of gill infections of Trichodina spp. on exposed fish was significantly higher than on controls 5, 9, and 13 months after exposure. The intensity of the ciliates was also greater on sculpins collected near an oil-receiving terminal than on those sampled 5 km from the polluted site. Field collections of longhorn and shorthorn (Myoxocephalus scorpius) sculpins at and distant from a pulp and paper mill had high and low intensities of the ciliates, respectively. Similarly, the intensity of trichodinid ciliates was also significantly greater in longhorn sculpins exposed to effluent-contaminated sediment than in controls 5 months after exposure. The results suggest that the intensity of gill-inhibiting species such as trichodinids in susceptible fish hosts increases after chronic exposure to crude oil and to pulp and paper mill effluent, and the parasites may serve as indicators of pollution.

Abstract

We conducted extensive field observations (369.6 h) and surveys of 36 preworker, multiple-foundress colonies of the social wasp Polistes fuscatus. We observed 48 intrusions by foreign conspecifics in 18 of 36 colonies. The rates of intrusion by foreign females, about 1 intrusion per colony each day, did not differ among observations conducted approximately 22, 39, and 48 days after nest initiation. Thus, it appears that usurpation pressure is both intense and constant throughout the preworker stage of the colony cycle. None of the observed intrusions resulted in the replacement of resident foundresses, although surveys revealed that 2 of 36 multiple-foundress colonies were usurped. All 48 intrusions were by females that were unlikely to be closely related to the colonies they attempted to usurp. Resident foundresses exhibited highly intolerant behaviour toward intruders, and evicted them within 40 s of their landing on the nest. There was a pronounced division of labour between queens and subordinates in colony defence. When present together on the nest, queens were significantly more involved than their subordinates in repelling intruders. The vast majority of intruder evictions did not involve cooperation or joint effort by cofoundresses. Therefore, the ability of multiple foundresses to successfully defend against usurpation is probably due to the decreased probability that their nest is left unattended.

Abstract

Bombus moderatus Cresson, 1863 occurs in the northern and western regions of North America and reaches its southern limit in Alberta. In 1915, the southernmost record was Banff; by 1987, it had appeared in Kananaskis Country, 40 km southeast of Banff, and by 2010, it had spread 80 km farther east to become one of the more common bumble bee species in Calgary, where it had never been previously recorded. This represents a rate of spread over the last 20 years of about 4 km/year. The simplest hypothesis that can account for this change is that it is just a continuation of the natural expansion of its range since the end of the last ice age. An alternative hypothesis is that it is filling the niche vacated as a result of the decline in another species, Bombus occidentalis Greene, 1858.

Abstract

Videotaped observations (371.3 h) were conducted in 1995, 1996, and 1997 on 50 multiple-foundress colonies of the social wasp Polistes fuscatus. Observations were made during the mid-preworker, late-preworker, and early-postworker stages of the colony cycle. The vast majority of lost subordinate cofoundresses (62 of 77) disappeared during the time interval from 2 weeks before to 4 weeks after the emergence of the first workers. The loss of subordinates did not appear to be the result of senescence or foraging-related mortality. Lost subordinates were from productive and presumably healthy colonies. In colonies containing two or more subordinates, lost subordinates had significantly greater dominance ranks than expected. There was no behavioural evidence that lost subordinates were evicted from their colony by queens, other subordinate foundresses, or workers. Lost subordinates were not observed to renest, join sister colonies, or adopt orphaned nests. Our results indicate that lost subordinates leave colonies of their own volition. Indirect evidence from other studies suggests that subordinates may disperse and usurp colonies from other sites.

Abstract

The protein constituents of the larval diets of queen and worker honeybees were separated by continuous paper electrophoresis. The electrophoretic patterns of royal jelly of any age and the early worker diet were similar and comprised five ninhydrin-reactive bands or fractions. Fraction 1 (nearest the cathode) contained lysine as a free amino acid. Fractions 3 and 4 appeared to be complex polypeptides. Alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine and/or leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tyrosine, valine, and an unidentified substance were found in chromatograms of the acid hydrolyzate of fraction 3; the hydrolyzate of fraction 4 contained the same amino acids except for threonine. Fractions 2 and 5 were not characterized. Electrophoresis of the diet of worker larvae older than 3 days showed a pronounced fading of all bands, attributable to the dilution of the solids by the addition of honey which occurs at this time. There appeared to be no qualitative differences between the protein fractions of royal jelly and worker diet which would account for the differentiation of female honeybees into queens and workers. The decrease with age in the percentage of protein in the worker diet may be significant.

Abstract

Seventeen species of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera showed chemical differences by the method of paper chromatography in an evaluation of the method for taxonomic purposes. The analyses were complicated by pattern differences evident in larval, pupal, and adult stages of some species. Geographic isolates of Malacosoma disstria Hbn. as well as of Chamaepsila rosae (F.) and physiological entities within Pristiphora erichsonii (Htg.) show identical patterns; however, differences are found at specific levels. Paper chromatography is therefore a valuable taxonomic tool, especially as the technique is capable of considerable refinement.

31. The nose knows: a review of the diversity, form, and function of the external and internal features of the bat nose.

Author

Dzal, Yvonne A. and Gillam, Erin H.

Abstract

Dr. M. Brock Fenton has been intrigued by the diversity of bats throughout his long career, and has combined his research and photography skills to capture the extensive morphological diversity found across the order Chiroptera. In this paper, we honour Brock's fascination with diversity by conducting a review of the external and internal characteristics of the bat nose, a morphological feature that Brock's photographs have beautifully captured in many bat species. Specifically, we explore variation in form and function of the bat rostrum and its role in respiration, echolocation, and olfaction in bats, with an emphasis on the noseleaves of nasal-emitting echolocators, as well as how turbinate morphology may be impacted by nasophonation. While our review is not an extensive dive into all that is known about bat noses, our goal is to highlight the diversity we see in form across the order Chiroptera while exploring how function has been shaped by selection, particularly in relation to mode of echolocation signal emission.

Abstract

Some time ago during informal discussions, Blake Reeves suggested that the paradigm of biochemical adaptation was in need of closer attention and definition. What are biochemical adaptations? How do we probe their significance and mechanisms? Does anything useful come out of such analyses? 1 decided to respond to this suggestion before I grew too old, and thanks to a small grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, a group of us assembled at Lake Louise, Alberta, from February 7 to 9, 1987, to see how we could rise to the challenge. My plan for analysis of these questions was based on my own experience. For many years now, researchers in my laboratory have been taking advantage of the observable fact that some living systems are "better adapted" to (are better able to cope with) low 0, availability than is man. Marine mammals, for example, are able to hold their breath for periods ranging from several minutes to over an hour during diving; some fishes are able to survive days to weeks of hypoxia; diving turtles and several invertebrate groups are able to survive months of near or even total 0, lack. Our initial goal, to discover if universal underlying mechanisms were to be found in these various examples of hypoxia adaptation, led to a remarkably simple and unifying theory. In its simplest form that theory states that the most effective defence strategy against hypoxia used by "good animal anaerobes" involves (i) controlled metabolic arrest coupled with (ii) controlled channel arrest. As 0, availability is reduced, at cell, tissue, organ, or even organism level, the energy deficit is not made up by anaerobic mechanisms. Instead, by isolating the cell interior (by arresting ion translocation through ion-specific channels), the need for maintenance energy (for ATP) is reduced and cell metabolic rate then can be drastically decreased. Our current research focusses on this adaptable coupling between metabolic and membrane functions for strictly theoretical reasons. Meanwhile, for many clinical scientists this theoretical research has been usefil and stimulating because it supplies a theoretical framework within which to organize their attuck on the all-too-practical problem of protecting tissues of patients against hypoxia. Such interacting areas include research on cardiac arrest, stroke, acute renal failure, liver ischemia, lung injury, respiratory defence syndrome, claudication, shock, and organ transplant. Thus I was satisfied that we had learned a lot about hypoxia adaptations in animals and that the work was useful to more applied fields. My challenge to each of the symposium participants was to avoid as much as possible repeating previous papers, lectures, or seminars and instead to closely examine his or her particular "system" in terms of adaptable versus constrained properties, thus outlining how it can evolve. Learning what is adaptable and what is unchangeable comes from the close comparison in different environments of macromolecules, cells, tissues, organs, or even organisms in "sensitive" versus "tolerant" species. By working out defence strategies utilized in nature against any given parameter, we hope to automatically supply the ingredients for a theoretical framework for defending more sensitive living systems against that same parameter. Thus we have two goals (or rationales) for our workshop: (i) identifying defence strategies against environmental perturbation for use in more applied fields and (ii) redefining the paradigm of biochemical adaptation in more fully modern terms.

Abstract

Bat conservation has become prevalent over the last few decades due to critical population declines worldwide. Our purpose was to assess whether Brock Fenton's research career coincided with increasing bat conservation research in Canada and North America. Fenton has made significant contributions to bat research during a long and productive publishing career accompanied by participation in research organizations like the North American Society for Bat Research and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. His conservation research as well as efforts to raise public awareness about these animals has coincided with work for the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and its equivalent (Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario) in ON. To assess the impact of his career, we quantified the relative amount of his peer-reviewed publications with a conservation focus and compared this with the level of conservation-related presentations at annual North American Society for Bat Research conferences. In the same manner, we assessed how often conservation-focused applications were funded by the Ecology and Evolution section of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council—Canada Discovery grant program. Although it cannot be said with authority that Fenton actually initiated the increase in bat conservation research, our results indicate that his research efforts coincide with and presumably had considerable influence in driving this area of research.

Abstract

Brock Fenton has devoted his career to the study of the ecological adaptations of bats and their diversity. In this paper, we describe his interest and research on the subject of bat evolution and how he has used phylogenetic hypotheses to revise our understanding of divergences and convergences of specific traits within this mammalian order. While he has always been fascinated by the evolution of echolocation, he has also written about the evolution of reproductive, morphological, and behavioural traits and his recent methods of documenting diversity incorporates his lifelong love of photography. We describe these and taxonomic attempts to honour his contributions to the study of bat species diversity. Brock has supported hundreds of students and colleagues with his endless enthusiasm and generosity and inspired them with his ongoing research on bats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Despite their temperate to subarctic geographic range, American martens (Martes americana) possess a thermally inefficient morphology. The lack of morphological adaptations for reducing thermal costs suggests that marten may use behavioral strategies to optimize thermal budgets. During the winters of 1989–1990 and 1990–1991, we radio-collared and monitored the diel activity of 7 martens. A log-linear model suggested that the presence or absence of light was the only factor associated with marten activity patterns (p
