Nutrient Allocation Strategies to Eggs by Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens) at a Sub-Arctic Colony
(University of California Press, 2011-01)
The relative allocation of endogenous- and exogenous-derived nutrients to reproductive investment in Arctic-nesting geese is affected by body size, migration distance, and proximate conditions on the wintering, staging, and ...

Is the decline of soil microbial biomass in late winter coupled to changes in the physical state of cold soils?
(Elsevier, 2010)
During winter when the active layer of Arctic and alpine soils is below 0 °C, soil microbes are alive but metabolizing slowly, presumably in contact with unfrozen water. This unfrozen water is at the same negative chemical ...
The biology of the annual Salicornia europaea agg. at the limits of its range in Hudson Bay.
(NRC Research Press, 1983)
The biology of a marginal population of the annual Salicornia europaea agg. has been examined at La Pérouse Bay, Manitoba, on the shores of Hudson Bay. Plants were confined to south-facing sites which became hypersaline ...
Soluble carbohydrate content of shoots of Arctic wetland plants that are consumed by lesser snow geese
(NRC Research Press, 2008)
We recorded seasonal changes in the total amounts of soluble carbohydrates in shoots of salt- and fresh-water coastal plants at La Pérouse Bay, northern Manitoba, to determine whether adult snow geese and their goslings ...
Goose-induced Changes in Vegetation and Land Cover between 1976 and 1997 in an Arctic Coastal Marsh
(Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of Colorado, 2005)
Since the 1970s, a breeding colony of lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens L.) at La Pérouse Bay, Manitoba, has grown 8% annually. This increase has led to significant loss of plant cover in all major salt- ...
Genetic variation within and between populations of the asexual plant Puccinellia x phryganodes
(07/04/2013)
Puccinellia x phryganodes (Trin.) Scriber and Merr is widely distributed in Arctic salt marshes. In North America the species, which is capable of extensive clonal growth, appears to be a sterile triploid (2n = 21) ; seed ...
Allochthonous inputs: integrating population changes and food-web dynamics
(Elsevier, 2004)
Most ecosystems are recipients of allochthonous materials that enhance in situ productivity. Recent theoretical and empirical studies suggest that low to moderate inputs can stabilize food webs. However, depending on the ...
