Den supplementation for black bears in coastal British Columbia
Attempts were made to create dens for black bears in an area with extensive forest harvesting that removed dens in hollow trees. Bears utilized an augmented old growth stump as a den but did not utilize artificial dens made of plastic. Abstract American black bears (Ursus americanus) require suitable den sites that provide security and cover to ...

Cytology, function and dynamics of stem and progenitor cells in decapod crustaceans
ABSTRACT Stem cells play key roles in development, tissue homeostasis, regeneration, ageing and diseases. Comprehensive reviews on stem cells are available for the determinately growing mammals and insects and some lower invertebrates like hydra but are rare for larger, indeterminately growing invertebrates that can live for many decades.
