Going Coastal: Shared Evolutionary History between Coastal British Columbia and Southeast Alaska Wolves (Canis lupus)
BACKGROUND Many coastal species occupying the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest in North America comprise endemic populations genetically and ecologically distinct from interior continental conspecifics. Morphological variation previously identified among wolf populations resulted in recognition of multiple subspecies of wolves in the Pacific Northwest. Recently, separate genetic s...
متن کاملUptake of salmon-derived nitrogen by mosses and liverworts in coastal British Columbia
Throughout forested watersheds bordering the North Pacific, anadromous salmon (Oncorhynchus spp. ) are transferred into coastal forests by numerous predators and scavengers with remnants providing an important nutrient subsidy to riparian zones. The contribution of these nutrients to mosses and liverworts, which are the dominant ground cover of coastal forests, has not been investigated. We exa...

متن کاملOn the decline of Pacific salmon and speculative links to salmon farming in British Columbia
Pacific salmon abundance along the West Coast of Canada has been in sharp decline since the early 1990s. Declines have been most severe for coho and chinook salmon despite large additions of hatchery-reared fry and smolts. There is particular concern for populations of wild coho because, in addition to low abundance, up to 80% of the juvenile coho in the coastal waters has been identified as be...
متن کاملThe Gray Wolves (Canis Lupus) of B.C.'s Coastal Rainforest
A professional biologist, he has studied other elusive wildlife species including Marbled Murrelets, Canada Lynx, and Northern Goshawks. Paul first introduced Chris to wolf research in 1998 when Chris worked for the Central Rockies Wolf Project. Chris plans to continue coastal wolf research as a graduate student. He operates Darimont Environmental. in the School of Forestry. He is a member of s...
