Identification of hybrid copepods between C. finmarchicus and C. glacialis
Principal Investigator: Maps, Frederic FM
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: Project aims to identify hybrid between C. finmarchicus and C. glacialis and to estimate the geographical distribution of the hybrids. Sample will be collected from a ring net, mesh size 200 micrometer (µm). The net will be deployed from the back of the boat. It will be towed vertically at a speed of 30 m/min. The samples collected will be sieve through 200 µm stainless steel mesh to separate w...


Further Examination of the Bio- Magnification of Mercury within Fish Species of the Deh Cho and their Varying Levels among Lakes
Principal Investigator: Swanson, Heidi
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine why fish mercury levels vary among lakes in the Dehcho region; 2) to identify best predictors of fish mercury levels; and, 3) to determine with fish have the lowest levels of mercury and the highest levels of nutrients. The methods for this project include field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data analysis and reporting. The resea...


A Coastal, Pan-Canadian Collection of Plants, Microalgae, and Marine Invertebrates for the Canadian Museum of Nature
Principal Investigator: Graham, Mark S
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The goal of this work is to assemble a representative collection of marine invertebrates, vascular plants, lichens, mosses, liverworts and aquatic, microscopic algae for research and educational purposes at the national museum (the Canadian Museum of Nature). Specimens will be used in ongoing research projects at the Canadian Museum of Nature, focused on the biodiversity of the vascular plant, lic...


Genetic Diversity in the Biota of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Hebert, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Our research will involve the survey of zooplankton communities in lakes and ponds of the Mackenzie Delta area (Inuvialuit private lands). Samples will be collected by either wading in ponds or by towing at net behind a float equipped helicopter. Samples will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently examined for genetic variation. Our work aims to establish the species diversity of zoopla...


Ecology and population genetics of freshwater invertebrates of the Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Boileau, Marc G.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987 1986
Summary: To investigate the ecology and population genetics of crustacean zooplankton; to study the genetic diversity of the major species of copepods and their dispersal since deglaciation; to clarify the taxonomy and improve distribution records....
