Mercury (Hg) is a potentially toxic metal that has bioaccumulating and biomagnifying properties. In egg laying animals, it can be transferred from an adult female to offspring. However, in turtles, the inter-and-intra-nest variation of Hg concentrations remains unknown. We investigated the concentration of Hg in preyed-upon Common Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina) eggshells. The variability in Hg contamination between and within each nest was assessed. In June 2021, 368 eggshells left behind by predators were sampled from 14 nests, from three different sites in southwest Nova Scotia. Ten eggshells were randomly selected from each nest for analysis. We found no correlation between estimated number of eggs in a nest and average nest Hg concentration. Significant inter-nest variation (Hg ranging from 12.0 ± 3.85 to 172.3 ± 43.9 µg/kg) and intra-nest variability may indicate maternal transfer. The collection of the shells of freshly preyed- upon eggs is a useful non-destructive sampling technique to maintain sustainable turtle populations. Our results demonstrate the need for further investigation into the impact of Hg on temperate, freshwater turtle reproduction. Keywords: mercury concentration, maternal transfer, common snapping turtle, eggshells
汞(Hg)是一种具有生物积累和生物放大特性的潜在有毒金属。在产卵动物中,它可以从成年雌性转移到后代。然而,在海龟中,汞浓度的巢间和巢内变化仍然未知。研究了被捕食鳄龟蛋壳中汞的浓度。评估了每个巢间和巢内汞污染的可变性。2021年6月,从新斯科舍省西南部三个不同地点的14个巢穴中取样了368个捕食者留下的蛋壳。从每个巢中随机抽取10个蛋壳进行分析。我们发现巢中卵的估计数量与平均汞浓度之间没有相关性。显著的巢内变异(Hg范围从12.0±3.85到172.3±43.9µg/kg)和巢内变异可能表明母体迁移。收集刚捕获的海龟卵的壳是一种有效的非破坏性采样技术,可以维持海龟种群的可持续发展。我们的研究结果表明,需要进一步研究汞对温带淡水龟繁殖的影响。关键词:汞浓度,母体转移,斑鳖,蛋壳

The one global ocean is receiving unprecedented attention recently, due to numerous factors such as the ocean’s role in climate change and the burgeoning blue economy. However, even though the ocean allows life on this planet, very little attention has been given to the complex relationship between the ocean and human health (OHH). USA and Europe have for a number of years focused funding on OHH as a meta-discipline (i.e., a discipline that includes the ideas and perspectives of a number of other disciplines), but Canada until now has not. This article examines the advancement of OHH and argues that Atlantic Canada could and should lead a Canadian meta-disciplinary program on the ocean and human health.Keywords: global ocean, human health, meta-discipline
由于海洋在气候变化中的作用和蓬勃发展的蓝色经济等众多因素,全球海洋最近受到了前所未有的关注。然而,尽管海洋允许这个星球上的生命存在,但很少有人注意到海洋与人类健康之间的复杂关系。美国和欧洲多年来一直将OHH作为一门元学科(即,一门包含许多其他学科的思想和观点的学科),但加拿大到目前为止还没有。本文考察了职业健康健康的进展,并认为加拿大大西洋协会可以而且应该领导一个关于海洋和人类健康的加拿大综合学科项目。关键词:全球海洋,人类健康,元学科

BIRDS OF BRIER ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, REVISED AND UPDATED 新斯科舍省brier岛的鸟类,修订和更新
Pub Date : 2022-04-30 DOI: 10.15273/pnsis.v52i1.11371

This monograph is a revision and updating of our publication on the birds of  Brier Island, Nova Scotia, published in the Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science in 2011. Known for its concentrations of seabirds and large volume of migration in spring and autumn, the island has gained constantly increasing attention by birders since it was first investigated by members of the Nova Scotia Bird Society in 1955. The past decade, since 2011, has seen a remarkable increase in bird reports, mainly due to increased field work by birders, but also because of the use of the online bird logging system eBird. The heart of this monograph is the annotated list of birds, which has been enlarged and revised in the light of new reports by field observers and new information from the ornithological literature. We have incorporated eBird observations, along with our personal records of occurrences and bird banding data into this revision, along with the changes in the order and arrangement of North American bird families as set out by the Checklist Committee of the American Ornithological Society. Three species, Pacific Golden-Plover, Brown Booby and Zone-tailed Hawk, have been added to the island checklist, and one has been lost, Thayer’s Gull, which has been incorporated into Iceland Gull. The total list of species reported from the island is 357, including two hypothetical species. The number of known breeding bird species has increased from 74 to 83. We also update ecological knowledge of the island as a result of recent fieldwork and the restoration of the Big Meadow Bog in support of Eastern Mountain Avens conservation.  
本专著是我们2011年在新斯科舍省科学研究所学报上发表的关于新斯科舍省Brier岛鸟类的论文的修订和更新。1955年,新斯科舍省鸟类协会的成员首次对该岛进行了调查,该岛以海鸟聚集和春秋大量迁徙而闻名,一直受到观鸟者的关注。自2011年以来的过去十年中,鸟类报告的数量显著增加,这主要是由于观鸟者增加了实地工作,但也因为使用了在线鸟类记录系统eBird。本专著的核心是鸟类的注释列表,该列表已根据实地观察员的新报告和鸟类学文献的新信息进行了扩充和修订。我们将eBird观测、我们个人的发生记录和鸟类分类数据,以及美国鸟类学会清单委员会对北美鸟类科的顺序和排列进行了修改。太平洋金鸻、褐鲣鸟和带尾鹰这三个物种已被添加到岛上的清单中,还有一个物种已经消失,即塞耶鸥,它已被纳入冰岛鸥。岛上报告的物种总数为357种,包括两个假设的物种。已知的繁殖鸟类从74种增加到83种。我们还更新了该岛的生态知识,因为最近的田野调查和大草甸沼泽的恢复,以支持东部山地大道的保护。

Parasitism of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) during the first month post-emergence in streams in southwest Nova Scotia 新斯科舍省西南部溪流中鳟鱼羽化后第一个月的寄生情况
Pub Date : 2021-10-29 DOI: 10.15273/pnsis.v51i2.11175

Parasite recruitment of recently emerged fry of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in three streams in southwestern Nova Scotia was documented. In early April, fry appeared to leave the protective gravel redds parasite free but began acquiring parasites within the next 2-4 weeks, with prevalence of infections of any given species reaching 21 to 46% by mid-May. The initial infections involved 1) directly transmitted ectoparasites Gyrodactylus colemanensis and Salmincola edwardsii and 2) food-borne endoparasites (Echinorhynchus lateralis and Crepidostomum sp.). Colonizing parasites found in the first month post-emergence varied by locality: at Bangor Creek, it involved G. colemanensis, E. lateralis, and Crepidostomum sp., while at Germaine East, it involved only G. colemanensis and at Germaine North, only S. edwardsii. In each case, the initial colonizers reflected what was abundant locally and within a regional pool of 10 parasite species. Localized skin thickening and sometimes tissue erosion were evident at sites of attachment of S. edwardsii. Minor disruption of fin margins was seen with G. colemanensis. No pathology was associated with E. lateralis nor Crepidostomum sp. The predictable timing of emergence and ease of sampling fry of S. fontinalis near redds represents a convenient system with which to assess impact of initial parasitism on fish recruitment at the local level. Keywords: Echinorhynchus, Gyrodactylus, initial parasite colonization, regional parasite pool, Salmincola
记录了新斯科舍省西南部三条溪流中新近出现的鳟鱼(Salvelinus fontinalis)鱼苗的寄生虫招募。4月初,鱼苗似乎离开了保护性的砾石斑纹,但在接下来的2-4周内开始获得寄生虫,到5月中旬,任何特定物种的感染率达到21%至46%。最初的感染包括:(1)直接传播的外寄生虫科尔曼旋毛虫和爱德华Salmincola;(2)食源性内寄生虫(棘喙虫和Crepidostomum sp.)。在羽化后第一个月发现的定殖寄生虫因地而异:在班戈溪,有G. colemanensis、E. lateralis和Crepidostomum sp.,而在德国东部,只有G. colemanensis,在德国北部,只有S. edwardsii。在每种情况下,最初的殖民者反映了当地和10种寄生虫的区域池中的丰富情况。爱德华氏弧菌附着部位局部皮肤增厚,有时组织糜烂。小破坏鳍边缘可见与G. colemanensis。没有病理与侧叶棘虫和Crepidostomum sp.相关。在redds附近,fontinalis的出现时间和取样苗的可预测性代表了一个方便的系统,用于评估初始寄生对当地鱼类招募的影响。关键词:棘喙虫,旋足虫,初始寄生虫定植,区域寄生虫池,沙蚤

Climate change in Nova Scotia: temperature increases from 1961 to 2020 新斯科舍省的气候变化:1961年至2020年的气温上升
Pub Date : 2021-10-29 DOI: 10.15273/pnsis.v51i2.11174

An analysis of temperature in Nova Scotia, using climate normals for 1961-1990 and temperature records from 1961 to 2020, is presented for 16 sites across the province. These records show a slight warming trend in the first 40 years from 6.0 ± 0.5 °C (1961-1990), followed by a more significant increase in average temperature post-1990 of 1.0 °C to 6.7 ± 0.5 °C, and to 7.0 ± 0.5 in the post-1998 period. A jump in average temperature in 1998 is such that in only a few following years did the mean annual temperature fall below the average annual temperature for the previous period. A step change was coincident with La Niña events and increasing Atlantic Ocean temperatures associated with a shift of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation into a positive phase. The increase in mean monthly temperatures was more apparent in the Autumn when first frosts were later and there were fewer days with frost. This led to a significant increase in continuous frost-free days of 9.2 ± 7.9 days, with increases ranging from 0.4 to 30.6 days. Relative to other sites, Yarmouth had the smallest annual increase in mean temperature, of 0.5 °C, but this was associated with a major increase in continuous frost-free days, of 11.3. Because overall temperature change was based largely on a step change post-1998, rather than a continuous, gradual change (seen only in frost-free days), it is difficult to calculate a rate, or to predict future patterns of temperature increases. We suggest a significant influence of El Niño Southern Oscillation and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation as potential contributors to the temperature increase. Increases in annual temperature and seasonality are discussed in terms of flowering phenology, including flowering in the Spring of 2021 when 31 species were blooming by the end of April.Keywords: climate change, climate normal, flowering phenology, Nova Scotia, temperature, weather
本文利用1961-1990年的气候正常值和1961- 2020年的温度记录,对新斯科舍省16个站点的温度进行了分析。这些记录显示,从6.0±0.5°C(1961-1990)开始,前40年有轻微的升温趋势,随后在1990年以后平均气温显著升高1.0°C至6.7±0.5°C, 1998年以后平均气温显著升高7.0±0.5°C。1998年的平均气温急剧上升,仅在随后的几年里,年平均气温才低于前一时期的年平均气温。阶跃变化与La Niña事件一致,大西洋温度升高与大西洋多年代际涛动向正相位的转变有关。月平均气温的上升在秋季更为明显,因为秋季初霜较晚,霜冻天数较少。这导致连续无霜天数显著增加,为9.2±7.9天,增加幅度为0.4 ~ 30.6天。相对于其他地点,雅茅斯的年平均温度增幅最小,为0.5°C,但这与连续无霜期的主要增加有关,为11.3天。由于总体温度变化主要基于1998年以后的阶跃变化,而不是连续的、渐进的变化(只在无霜期出现),因此很难计算出温度上升的速率,也很难预测未来温度上升的模式。我们认为El Niño南方涛动和大西洋多年代际涛动是温度升高的潜在贡献者。从开花物候学的角度讨论了年温度和季节性的增加,包括2021年春季的开花,当时31种植物在4月底开花。关键词:气候变化,气候常态,开花物候,新斯科舍省,温度,天气

Increases in annual temperature and seasonality are discussed in terms of flowering phenology, including flowering in the Spring of 2021 when 31 species were blooming by the end of April.Keywords: climate change, climate normal, flowering phenology, Nova Scotia, temperature, weather","PeriodicalId":153215,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science (NSIS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131478285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ascophyllum nodosum is an ecologically and economically valuable species of brown seaweed found in Nova Scotia. The large fronds covered in airbladders create distinctive underwater canopy ecosystems in the intertidal zone. Ascophyllum is valuable as a soil supplement and fertilizer due to its biochemical composition. Commercial harvest of this wild resource began approximately sixty years ago and has been continuously exploited since. Careful management of Ascophyllum stocks is necessary to sustain the industry. In this literature review, the current harvesting regime of this seaweed in Nova Scotia is summarized and assessed in relation to harvesting regimes elsewhere and to the state of the intertidal marine ecosystem.Keywords:  Ascophyllum nodosum, ecological impacts, intertidal ecology, resource management, rockweed harvesting, seaweed industry
在新斯科舍省发现了一种具有生态和经济价值的褐藻。被气囊覆盖的大叶子在潮间带创造了独特的水下树冠生态系统。由于其生物化学成分,葡萄叶根作为土壤补剂和肥料是有价值的。这种野生资源的商业采收始于大约60年前,此后一直在不断开发。谨慎管理葡萄属植物的库存是维持该行业的必要条件。在这篇文献综述中,总结和评估了新斯科舍省目前这种海藻的收获制度,并与其他地方的收获制度和潮间带海洋生态系统的状况进行了比较。关键词:藤蔓,生态影响,潮间带生态,资源管理,岩栖草收获,海藻产业
