    A light in the dark: using cabled seafloor observatories to study abundance and behaviour of seafloor megafauna in response to environmental change

    Surface primary productivity forms the base of most marine food webs and contributes significantly to global carbon cycling, providing a key link from surface to seafloor. High seasonal primary productivity along temperate latitude coastlines provides crucial nutrients for seafloor communities, driving spatiotemporal patterns in abundance, behaviour, biodiversity, and distribution of benthic megafauna. Many factors, including ocean warming, deoxygenation, and increasing frequency and duration of marine heatwaves (MHW), may alter the dynamics governing primary production, threatening benthic organisms that depend on the seasonal input of phytodetritus for food. The focus of this thesis is to make use of two seafloor observatories, NEPTUNE near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and a new platform in Conception Bay, NL, to examine variability in abundance, behaviour, and composition of seafloor communities in response to environmental change across temporal scales. First, the response of the deep-sea pink urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis to a recent MHW on the continental margin off the coast of Vancouver Island was investigated using a combination of benthic trawls (2004-2018) and seafloor observatory data (2013-2020). Sea urchin density declined during the MHW, likely in response to reduced kelp subsidies from coastal waters. Next, the new Holyrood Underwater Observatory in Conception Bay was used to study benthic community response to the spring phytoplankton bloom. High-frequency variability in seafloor environmental dynamics was documented during the winter-spring transition, and the unexpected emergence of >200 sea cucumbers (Psolus sp.) coinciding with the arrival of phytodetritus at the seafloor was observed. These data will provide a baseline against which to monitor changes in phenology as climate change progresses. This work comes at a critical point in ocean observing as we approach global climate tipping points. Now more than ever, it is essential to document the current state of marine communities to understand and predict community responses to changing ocean conditions, and to sustainably manage ocean resources.Includes bibliographical reference

    Temporal dynamics of the deep-sea pink urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis on the Northeast Pacific continental margin

    We are thankful for the support from ONC’s marine and digital operations staff for servicing and maintaining the NEPTUNE observatory and for the curation and quality control of all oceanographic data streams used in this study. We also thank the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Institute of Ocean Sciences (IOS), in Sidney, BC, Canada, for the publicly and freely available data from the long-term Line P monitoring program.The Northeast Pacific continental margin is characterized by strong seasonal upwelling, which drives high primary productivity, and supports high diversity and biomass of benthic megafauna. The recent occurrence of a marine heat wave (“The Blob”, sensu Kintisch, 2015) in 2013–2016 resulted in changes to phytoplankton community composition and loss of coastal kelp abundance and diversity, reducing gross primary productivity in the region. However, cumulative effects of marine heat waves and ongoing basin-scale deoxygenation in deepsea ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we use a 7-year time series of physicochemical and video imagery data from Ocean Networks Canada’s NEPTUNE observatory to investigate temporal dynamics of the deepsea pink urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis in relation to multi-year environmental variability. Using generalized additive models, we show that local S. fragilis density at Barkley Upper Slope (420 m) fluctuated over time and was partially explained by changes in dissolved oxygen concentration and suspended particulate matter in the benthic boundary layer (ADCP backscatter), with high urchin density corresponding to high oxygen and low backscatter. Seafloor dissolved oxygen ranged from 0.80 to 1.89 mL/L and varied seasonally, exhibiting a clear negative correlation with sea surface primary productivity (MODIS satellite Chl-a data), corresponding with the onset of yearly upwelling conditions. However, during the anomalously warm years affected by ‘The Blob’, dampened upwelling maintained higher dissolved oxygen conditions near the seafloor. S. fragilis density declined during ‘Blob’ conditions, likely in response to reduced kelp and phytodetritus subsidies from coastal waters. We propose a foraging-respiration trade-off hypothesis, whereby S. fragilis forages in deeper water during weak upwelling and migrates to shallower habitats during low oxygen conditions. S. fragilis is an important bioturbator and detritivore; changes in the density and distribution of this species may directly affect sediment turnover rates and nutrient cycling on the continental margin, with consequences for surface and coastal productivity.Ocean Networks Canada is funded through the Canada Foundation for Innovation-Major Science Initiative (CFI-MSI) fund 30199.

    Infaunal community responses to ancient clam gardens

    No full text
    Aquatic ecosystems have been managed for millennia. Indigenous communities in North America pioneered numerous marine resource management strategies to ensure food security and support thriving economies, which have been active throughout the Northwest Coast of North America for over 14 000 years. Developed to increase shellfish productivity, clam gardens have been active for millennia. The diverse infaunal communities within these ecosystems can act as indicators of habitat alterations and provide an opportunity to study ecological community responses to seascapes shaped by millennia-old resource management structures. To determine how community structure differs between clam gardens and unmodified areas, we assessed infaunal diversity and density between intertidal mudflats, sandflats, and clam gardens. Differences in community composition were found among site types, with certain taxa, including culturally important species increasing within clam gardens. Per cent similarity analyses indicated that infaunal communities were more dissimilar among, than within site types. Furthermore, regression trees indicated that increases in diversity and density were closely correlated with the amount of shell and gravel within each habitat, which are associated with clam garden function and management practices. Species-specific and environmental responses to clam gardens indicate that human modifications in nearshore habitats created novel and distinct types of soft sediment communities.This research was supported by the Hakai Institute, the Canada Research Chairs Program, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Liber Ero Foundation, Mitacs, The PADI Foundation (Grant/Award No. 29000), the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund.FacultyReviewe

    aspectos parasitológicos de Cavia intermedia (Rodentia: Caviidae) no arquipélago de Moleques do Sul, em Santa Catarina, Brasil

    TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Biológicas. Biologia.Cavia intermedia é endêmica da maior ilha do Arquipélago de Moleques do Sul e a estimativa do tamanho médio populacional em 42 indivíduos fundamenta que esta seja uma espécie criticamente ameaçada de extinção de acordo com a IUCN. Em expedições realizadas de 11 à 19 de dezembro de 2009 e de 20 à 23 de fevereiro de 2010, um total de 27 preás foi capturado com auxílio de gaiolas iscadas com rodelas de milho. A coleta de piolhos foi realizada por escovação da pelagem sobre uma bandeja branca, antecipada da passagem de um algodão embebido em éter etílico sobre o corpo do hospedeiro, ao passo que os ácaros foram removidos por raspagem do tecido. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas por punção digital para realização de esfregaços sanguíneos, fixados posteriormente com metanol. A busca por helmintos foi baseada em exames de fezes coletadas das gaiolas e necropsias de cinco espécimes disponíveis em coleção científica. Ácaros trombiculídeos foram observados em todos os hospedeiros capturados. Um total de 1336 piolhos de duas espécies, Gliricola lindolphoi e Trimenopon hispidum (Phthiraptera – Amblycera) foi coletado de 27 preás, sendo 471 exemplares de G. lindolphoi e 865 indivíduos de T. hispidum, proporcionando uma abundância média de 49,5 (± 39,1) piolhos por hospedeiro. A prevalência e a intensidade de infestação por piolhos foram elevados e podem não ter relação com a síndrome insular, uma vez que valores similares ou até maiores foram observados em populações continentais de preás. Cavia intermedia é apresentada como um novo hospedeiro verdadeiro para ambas as espécies de piolhos. Apesar de T. hispidum ser um parasito comum de Cavia spp., a ocorrência de G. lindolphoi é rara, sendo notificada pela sexta vez. No que diz respeito ao achado de ácaros trombiculídeos, sua origem é incerta. A ausência de endoparasitos deve-se possivelmente à alta complexidade de seus ciclos biológicos, o que poderia ser resultado do isolamento no arquipélago. Estes resultados podem fundamentar ações de manejo e a sua associação com informações sobre a ectoparasitofauna de outras espécies do gênero Cavia pode subsidiar investigações taxonômicas e filogenéticas tanto para os parasitos, quanto para os hospedeiros

    Open Problems in Technical AI Governance

    No full text
    AI progress is creating a growing range of risks and opportunities, but it is often unclear how they should be navigated. In many cases, the barriers and uncertainties faced are at least partly technical. Technical AI governance, referring to technical analysis and tools for supporting the effective governance of AI, seeks to address such challenges. It can help to (a) identify areas where intervention is needed, (b) identify and assess the efficacy of potential governance actions, and (c) enhance governance options by designing mechanisms for enforcement, incentivization, or compliance. In this paper, we explain what technical AI governance is, why it is important, and present a taxonomy and incomplete catalog of its open problems. This paper is intended as a resource for technical researchers or research funders looking to contribute to AI governance.Comment: Ben Bucknall and Anka Reuel contributed equally and share the first author positio

It's easy to believe that the rich and famous are born well...rich and famous. Not so! On the way to being famous...Gwen Stefani worked at Dairy Queen, Madonna was fired from Dunkin' Donuts, Brad Pitt handed out flyers wearing a chicken suit for El Polio Loco, Rachel McAdams was a server at McDonald's and Beyonce was swept up hair in her mother's salon. There are jobs you will have before you 'make it' too. Some you will enjoy. And some - not so much. On my way to becoming a teacher I was a waiter, a landscaper, a tree planter, and a bartender. Some of these jobs I liked and some I hated. But ALL of these jobs brought me to the profession I love and shaped who I have become. At W.R. Myers High School we are proud of being a school where every student can find an avenue for success and in being part of a community where everyone in the Rebel family strives to find the best in themselves and others. As Christian Larson said, "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." Remember that you are the star of your own life and that, with hard work, your dreams will become reality! Take care, Ken Pon Principal Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient. Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient: Have the courage to be imperfect Take time for yourself Sign up for that course, join that club Be active every day in as many ways as you can Spend time with people who make you feel good Laugh out loud each day Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat) Do one thing now that you've been putting off Focus more on things you can control Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/) Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on this decision (love it/dislike it etc). A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor, Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook. Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases, does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the message being shared.

But very thankfully, and in true Rebel Spirit, we made the most of the situation and were able to organize and provide our student-athletes with a few opportunities to participate in sport. The Rebels made teams and practiced as much as they possibly could in football, volleyball, cross-country, golf, basketball, and curling. Unfortunately, a few of our traditional sports were not able to get off the ground in the Spring, but hopefully that will only fuel the fire of the up and coming athletes for next season! We want to give a big thanks to all those student-athletes and coaches who committed to one or more of our teams during these tough, unprecedented circumstances, and a special shout out to all the Grade 1 2 student-athletes for all of their years of dedication to High School Sport!

Here, we report immediate impacts of changes in human activities on wildlife and environmental threats during the early lockdown months of 2020, based on 877 qualitative reports and 332 quantitative assessments from 89 different studies. Hundreds of reports of unusual species observations from around the world suggest that animals quickly responded to the reductions in human presence. However, negative effects of lockdown on conservation also emerged, as confinement resulted in some park officials being unable to perform conservation, restoration and enforcement tasks, resulting in local increases in illegal activities such as hunting. Overall, there is a complex mixture of positive and negative effects of the pandemic lockdown on nature, all of which have the potential to lead to cascading responses which in turn impact wildlife and nature conservation. While the net effect of the lockdown will need to be assessed over years as data becomes available and persistent effects emerge, immediate responses were detected across the world. Thus initial qualitative and quantitative data arising from this serendipitous global quasi-experimental perturbation highlights the dual role that humans play in threatening and protecting species and ecosystems. Pathways to favorably tilt this delicate balance include reducing impacts and increasing conservation effectiveness
