Breeding of Dendroica Striata at Great Slave Lake

A 3D Hydrodynamic Lake Model: Simulation on Great Slave Lake

Large lakes are recognized as an important influence on the circulation of the atmosphere; in return the resulting meteorological forcing also affects the lake thermal structure. This interaction is complex and continues to be a critical issue considering the millions of lakes in Canada, many of which are large, and are unaccounted for in the current climatic models. This paper evaluates the pr...

Phenotypic Diversity of Lake Trout in Great Slave Lake: Differences in Morphology, Buoyancy, and Habitat Depth

—Little is known about the phenotypic diversity of lake trout Salvelinus namaycush in large North American lakes outside the Laurentian Great Lakes. This study tested the hypothesis that phenotypic diversity in Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada, is associated with water depth, as was observed during similar studies of lake trout in Lake Superior. We describe the association of bod...

Over-Lake Meteorology and Estimated Bulk Heat Exchange of Great Slave Lake in 1998 and 1999

Meteorological and thermistor moorings were deployed in Great Slave Lake during the Canadian Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Enhanced Study (CAGES) in 1998 and 1999. Large-scale meteorology included influence from a record ENSO extending from 1997 to mid-1998. Meteorological variables varied across the lake especially during the lake-heating phase after ice breakup. Generally h...

Hybrid wood warblers, Dendroica striata x Dendroica castanea (Aves: Fringillidae: Tribe Parulini) and the diagnostic predictability of avian hybrid phenotypes

—The plumage pattern and color and external morphology of hybrid wood warblers (Dendroica striata x Dendroica castanea) are described. This hybrid combination constitutes the only known case of hybridization between two broadly sympatric species of the genus Dendroica (Fringillidae; Tribe Parulini), that is represented by both male and female specimens in definitive alternate plumage. The pluma...
