Epigeal and Flight Activity of Coleoptera in a Commercial Raspberry Plantation and Adjacent Sites in Southern Quebec (Canada): Introduction and Nitidulidae [PDF]
We studied the epigeal and flight activity of Coleoptera in a commercial raspberry plantation and adjacent sites in southern Quebec, from 1987-1989. In this first paper, we present the results for the Nitidulidae.

Effects of landscape context on herbivory and parasitism at different spatial scales [PDF]
Local community structure and interactions have been shown to depend partly on landscape context. In this paper we tested the hypothesis that the spatial scale experienced by an organism depends on its trophic level.

Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change [PDF]
The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to their habitats including the local ecological disturbances they face ...

Towards a radiocarbon chronology of the Late-Glacial: Sample selection strategies [PDF]
This paper outlines a dating program designed to test the reproducibility of radiocarbon dates on different materials of Late-Glacial age (plant macrofossils, fossil beetle remains, and the "humic" and "humin" chemical fractions of limnic sediments ...
