The Impact of Canada's Working Income Tax Benefit on the Labor Supply of Low‐Income Workers

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use administrative tax data to estimate the effect of the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) on the labor supply of single, low‐income workers in Canada. Our analytical approach exploits low knowledge of the program, which generates variation in the benefit receipt both between and within eligible tax filers over time.

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Return migration to fresh water and overwintering locations used by sympatric anadromous populations of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma malma)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and northern form Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma malma) are highly valued by Indigenous communities in northern Canada. Rapid, ongoing environmental changes are affecting populations of both of these iteroparous species, and understanding variability in life‐history tactics is essential for ...

First Report of the Malacosporean Parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in the Faroe Islands Reveals Widespread Distribution and High Prevalence in Brown Trout

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae (Tb), the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonids, has predominantly been reported in temperate regions of continental Europe and North America. Here, we present the first record of Tb in the Faroe Islands, extending the known northern distribution of the ...

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.
