Son but est aussi de faciliter la recherche aux chercheurs en mettant à leur disposition toute cette documentation et les instruments nécessaires à son accessibilité. Dans ce sens, le Centre publiait en 1975 un inventaire général des archives publiques ou semi-publiques concernant les Acadiens. L'accueil fait à ce volume par les historiens et les professeurs d'histoire indique clairement qu'il répondait à un besoin manifeste. Cet inventaire n'était que le premier d'une série de travaux que le Centre se proposait de rédiger. D'autres devaient suivre, tels une bibliographie acadienne, un dictionnaire généalogique, un inventaire des articles de revue, une brochure sur le folklore, etc.

  • Using Multiple Sentinel Species and Stable Isotopes to Understand Mercury Sources and Fate in Temperate Streams
    USING MULTIPLE SENTINEL SPECIES AND STABLE ISOTOPES TO UNDERSTAND MERCURY SOURCES AND FATE IN TEMPERATE STREAMS by Timothy D. Jardine B.Sc., Dalhousie University, 1996-2000 M.Sc., University of New Brunswick, 2001-2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate Academic Unit of Biology Supervisor(s): Dr. Karen A. Kidd (Biology) Examining Board: Dr. Jeff Houlahan (Biology) Dr. James Kieffer (Biology) Dr. Charles Bourque (Forestry and Environmental Management) External Examiner: Dr. Gilbert Cabana (Departément de Chimie-Biologie, Université du Québec à Trois Rivières) This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK December, 2008 ©Timothy D. Jardine, 2009 GENERAL ABSTRACT The goal of this dissertation was to better understand mercury (Hg) dynamics in running waters. It employed two techniques, analysis of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen and the use of sentinel species, to achieve this goal. I began by learning about the feeding ecology of a common predatory insect, the water strider (Aquarius remigis) that I hoped to use as an indicator of aquatic Hg contamination. I found that water striders exhibited a strong connection to the riparian zone via consumption of terrestrial insects that made up a majority of their diet. Water striders also had Hg concentrations that were weakly related to variables known to influence Hg in waterbodies, such as pH and dissolved organic carbon content. Instead water strider Hg concentrations were predicted by their body size, trophic level and proximity to a coal-fired power plant that annually emits ~ 100 kg of Hg to the atmosphere.
