Song Dialects of Lapland Longspurs and Female Reproductive Strategies in Arctic Birds.
Principal Investigator: Montgomerie, Robert D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will determine the extent of local and geographic variation in Lapland longspur songs. As well, they will look at the variety of strategies used by female birds to ensure their reproductive success in a cold environment. They will also examine the ability of eggs to withstand cold temperatures and the methods used by females in raising their offspring....


Migration, Ecophysiology and Energetics of Shorebirds at Alert, Ellesmere Island
Principal Investigator: Morrison, R.I.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: Work by Dr. Morrison at Alert in the mid 1970's established the Knots and Turnstones breeding on northern Ellesmere Island migrate to wintering grounds on the European seaboard. Most migrate via staging areas in Iceland, though some of the population reaches Ellesmere via Norway. The internationally coordinated research program carried out over the last six years to study the migration, ecophysiol...


Shorebird and Waterfowl Nesting Habitat in the Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Roney, Keith
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1991
Summary: The Researcher will gather information by aerial reconnaissance to take photographs of nesting areas; a ground study by boat to photograph and take notes on the habitat of nesting birds; a library search for information on the Mackenzie Delta and will conduct interviews with local researchers and residents for additional information....


Breeding Biology of the Harris' Sparrow and White-crowned Sparrows in the Thelon Game Sanctuary, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Norment, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study the breeding biology of the Harris' Sparrow and White-crowned Sparrow. He will collect both physical and genetic information which include factors such as weather, food supply, nest-site, predators, number of eggs, breeding cycle and condition of females....


BORUP FIORD 91
Principal Investigator: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1988
Summary: Multi-disciplinary research will be undertaken in botany, geology, micro meteorology, soil science, remote sensing, breeding biology of Arctic char and archaeological survey. These studies are a continuation of those begun in 1988....


Trophic Relationships and Energetics of Arctic Cod in High-Arctic Marine Food Chains
Principal Investigator: Hop, Haakon
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will collect Arctic cod. Samples of these will be taken and studied to investigate the feeding ecology of Arctic cod and the energy flow through Arctic cod from zooplankon to marine mammals and sea birds....


Studies of Arctic Shorebirds and their Habitats in the Foxe Basin, NWT
Principal Investigator: Morrison, R.I.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This is a continuation of a project begun in 1986 to study year to year variation in breeding densities of shorebirds. The Researcher and team will determine which species of birds breed on the islands of the Foxe Basin, which habitats they use and how their numbers change from year to year. They are also interested in producing a map of the main wildlife habitats on the islands using satellite im...


Shorebirds of the Outer Mackenzie Delta/Richards Island
Principal Investigator: Dickson, H. Loney
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1987
Summary: Mr. Dickson will clean up sites examined in 1985 and 1987 and will check semi palmated plover nests on drill pads in the Kendall Sanctuary....


The importance of predation and habitat use in determing resource partitioning in a subarctic avian community
Principal Investigator: Legris, Andre
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Mr. Legris and his assistant will study the way in which habitat and nest sites are used by different species in a subarctic bird community. This will be done by examining the level of predation on nests of different species and how these same species use...


Abundance and Distribution of Benthic Fishes in the Nuvuk Island area, Hudson Bay, NWT
Principal Investigator: Green, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990 1988
Summary: Dr. Green will be sampling benthic fish and observing their distribution and abundance in relation to their effect on the feeding habits and reproductive success of black guillemots and other sea birds. He will use the samples to determine growth rates, food habits, and fecundity of the various benthic species....
