Historical variability of subfossil chironomids (Diptera: Chironomidae) in three lakes impacted by natural and anthropogenic disturbances
Tremblay, Larocque-Tobler, Sirois
In the eastern boreal forest of Quebec, Canada, harvesting strategies try to mimic the effects of fire on forest ecosystems, assuming that both disturbances have similar impacts. However impacts of both types of perturbations on lacustrine…

Black-chinned Hummingbird nest-site selection and nest survival in response to fuel reduction in a southwestern riparian forest
Smith, Finch, Hawksworth
Despite widespread efforts to avert wildfire by reducing the density of flammable vegetation, little is known about the effects of this practice on the reproductive biology of forest birds. We examined nest-site selection and nest survival of the…

Moving riparian management guidelines towards a natural disturbance model: an example using boreal riparian and shoreline forest bird communities
Kardynal, Hobson, Van Wilgenburg, Morissette
Forest harvesting strategies that approximate natural disturbances have been proposed as a means of maintaining natural species' diversity and richness in the boreal forests of North America. Natural disturbances impact shoreline forests and upland…

Wetland use by white-winged scoters (Melanitta fusca) in the Mackenzie Delta region
Haszard, Clark
Reasons for apparent declines in populations of white-winged scoters (Melanitta fusca) in the northern boreal forest are not well understood, but some evidence suggests factors associated with the breeding grounds may be responsible. Climate warming…

An ecosystem approach to determining effects on prescribed fire on southwestern Borderlands oak savannas: a baseline study
Gottfried, Neary, Ffolliott
Many traditional land management activities and supporting research have concentrated on one or two resources, with limited evaluations of interactions among other potential values. An ecosystem approach to land management requires an evaluation of…

Seed dispersal in fens
Middleton, van Diggelen, Jensen
Question: How does seed dispersal reduce fen isolation and contribute to biodiversity? Location: European and North American fens. Methods: This paper reviews the literature on seed dispersal to fens. Results: Landscape fragmentation may reduce…

Wildfire in the southwestern USA: effects on fishes
Rinne
Until recently, the effects of wildfire on aquatic ecosystems in the southwestern USA have been given little attention. Wildfires in the early 90s and their impact on threatened and endangered fishes and their habitats increased concern for this…
