Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study pres...

Facing pressures in both marine and terrestrial environments, the marbled murrelet is listed as threatened under Canada’s Species at Risk Act.

Fjords are deep-water estuaries that support a wide range of marine habitats for pelagic fish. Yet, knowledge gaps in fish distribution and habitat use limit the implementation of efficient marine co...

Canada’s Wild Salmon Policy (WSP) has helped produce numerous accomplishments but its continued effectiveness may be challenged by rapidly changing ocean conditions. To illustrate how incipient ecosys...

Fine-scale oceanographic structures such as eddies, fronts, and filaments strongly influence biogeochemical and ecological processes. So far, the char…

North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) have recovered rapidly following their depletion by commercial whaling. Diet studies are necessary to assess food web implications of their reco...

Knowledge of zooplankton distributions in the Eastern Subarctic Pacific (ESP) is limited and hinders our ability to assess ecosystem level change. To …

Wildfires pollute waterways and could affect their ability to sequester carbon, new University of British Columbia research shows.

Since the 1990’s, TDC has been associated with fish and seabird declines in the Great Lakes and the Baltic Sea. In addition to direct mortality, TDC includes sublethal effects across all salmon life s...

Satellite ocean color and in situ data characterized winter surface phytoplankton community composition across the northeast Pacific Increased cryptophyte biomass was observed during marine heatw...

The ability to detect the distribution of not only widespread, but also rare and endangered, species using eDNA allows researchers to identify critical habitats and biodiverse areas requiring protecti...

Abstract. In this study, we evaluated how well DNA metabarcoding of environmental samples captures changes in marine mesozooplankton community composition

There is high niche overlap and potential for competition between Pacific salmon and non-salmonid meso-predators in the open ocean during winter. Food web structure and the level of niche overlap var...
