Dried plasma retains hemostatic function and thermal stability during Arctic military operations
Abstract Background Dried plasma offers a practical alternative for remote damage control resuscitation, providing hemostatic support and volume replacement. The Arctic presents challenges that necessitate the need for blood‐based resuscitation to extend the “golden hour.” To address this, we evaluated the hemostatic and thermal stability of dried ...

Abstract Background and Objectives Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopaenia (FNAIT) is a potentially severe immune‐mediated condition that is believed to be under‐identified in the Canadian population. The Canadian Blood Services National Platelet Immunology Reference Laboratory (NPIRL) serves as a centralized referral laboratory for FNAIT ...

Correcting Lipid Extraction Effects on Nitrogen Isotopic Values (δ15N) in Cetacean Skin
ABSTRACT Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) are widely used to study the feeding ecology of cetaceans, as they provide critical insights into diet and migratory behaviors. Lipids in tissues may bias the interpretation of δ13C. Because of this, lipids need to be extracted before measuring stable isotope ratios, but their removal may ...

Past Colony Connectivity of a Declining Seabird Derived From Host–Parasite Genetic Data
ABSTRACT The black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla, hereafter ‘kittiwake’, conservation status ‘Vulnerable’) is a long‐lived, highly motile and wide‐ranging seabird. Breeding kittiwake colonies are abundant across the northern hemisphere. The kittiwake's life history and the spatial scale of its breeding distribution make understanding colony ...

“We call it soul food”: Inuit women and the role of country food in health and well-being in Nunavut
Indigenous knowledge is central to understanding environment and health sciences in the Arctic, yet limited research in these fields has explored the human–animal–environment interface from the unique perspectives of Inuit women.

Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around ...

Abstract Few multi‐year observations of CO2 gas exchange exist over melting first year sea ice (FYI). We report 4 years of CO2 flux data during the melt season in Dease Strait, Nunavut, Canada. Utilizing a dried, closed‐path eddy covariance system on an island within the strait, we identify two statistically distinct CO2 flux melt regimes: a pre‐pond ...
