Annotated List of the Mammals of Nova Scotia
PROC. N.S. INST. SCI. (2004) Volume 42, Part 2, pp. 189-208 ANNOTATED LIST OF THE MAMMALS OF NOVA SCOTIA FRED W. SCOTT1* and ANDREW J. HEBDA2 1Research Associate, Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, and Curator, Wildlife Museum, Biology Department, Acadia University, Wolfville NS B0P 1X0 2Curator of Zoology, Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer Street, Halifax, NS B3H 3A6 The latest taxonomic, distributional, habitat and conservation status information is presented for a total of 91 species of marine and terrestrial mammals presently or historically known from Nova Scotia. Four of them are extirpated and one is extinct. Of the 86 remaining species 51 are terrestrial (46 native, 5 introduced). The terrestrial mammals include 9 species of Insectivora, 6 (+ one tentative) of Chiroptera, one Primate, 12 Carnivora, 1 Perrissodactyla, 3 Artiodactyla, 19 Rodentia and 1 Lagomorpha. Native species include Boreal, Transition Zone and Austral elements, the result of Nova Scotia’s mid-latitude position on the continental coast. The 32 recorded marine species include 6 Carnivora (5 seals, walrus) and 26 Cetacea: Delphinidae (10 species), Phocoenidae (1), Monodontidae (1), Kogiidae (2), Physeteridae (1), Ziphiidae (4), Eschrichtiidae (1, extirpated), Balaenopteridae (5) and Balaenidae (1). Since 1971 four small mammal species (Sorex gaspensis, S. dispar, Glaucomys volans and Microtus chrotorrhinus) have been added to the provincial fauna, as a result of the first systematic and intensive sampling ever done in Nova Scotia. All are disjunct and three of them are restricted to forested talus habitats in the Cobequid Mts. or the Cape Breton Highlands. With the two disjunct species already known (Sorex arcticus maritimensis and Peromyscus leucopus caudatus), there are 6 disjunct mammals in the province, comprising 14.3 % of native non-volant terrestrial mammals, 33 % of insectivores and 18.8 % of native rodents. -

RESTORATION POTENTIAL FOR REPRODUCTION BY STRIPED BASS (Morone saxatilis) IN THE SAINT JOHN RIVER, NEW BRUNSWICK by Samuel Nelson Andrews Previous Degrees (BSc, Dalhousie, 2012) (MSc, Acadia University, 2014) A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Academic Unit of Biology Supervisors: R.

This listing was due to an apparent rapid collapse and subsequent absence of presumed native origin Striped Bass, juvenile recruitment, and spawning by the species following the completion of the large Mactaquac Dam in 1968. Expert reports hypothesized that alteration in the river flow and temperature regime imposed upon the Saint John River downstream from the Mactaquac Dam were responsible for the disappearance, however, no recovery efforts or exploratory studies were conducted, and the native Striped Bass population was deemed extinct. This dissertation explored the collapse of the Saint John River Striped Bass starting with a complete historic perspective of the species in the Saint John River and concluded with a possible means to recover the population that was once believed to be lost. -

2016 NOVA SCOTIA HUNTING & FURHARVESTING SUMMARY OF REGULATIONS Cover photo by Travis MacKinnon 2015 Trail Camera winner This is a summary prepared for the information and convenience of anyone who plans to hunt or trap in Nova Scotia. The full copy of the Wildlife Act and Regulations should be consulted for all purposes of interpreting and applying the law. These laws are subject to change at any time and are available online at novascotia.ca/natr/wildlife/laws/actsregs.asp For detailed information please see our website at novascotia.ca/natr/hunt Report illegal hunting and/or trapping to your local Natural Resources Office or call 1-800-565-2224 Honourable Lloyd Hines Minister Frank Dunn Deputy Minister Please help the environment. Recycle this book. 2 Message from the Minister This booklet outlines fees, bag limits, season dates, a summary of regulations, and other information for the 2016 hunting season. The additional licence and season for hunting deer with muzzleloaders and archery equipment will continue this year. It has increased the number of hunting days available for Nova Scotia deer hunters, with little impact on the deer harvest. The Special Youth Season for hunting deer will take place from October 14–22. Young Nova Scotians may also participate in Waterfowler Heritage Day on Saturday, September 17th. Each year, these special hunts provide qualified young hunters with wonderful opportunities to be introduced to hunting and gain experience under the supervision of experienced adult hunters. In the fall of 2015, we introduced limited Sunday hunting to Nova Scotia on the two Sundays immediately following the last Friday in October. -

The report covers all major categories of off-road trail corridors including non-motorized and motorized recreational trails. To meet the demands of the nature inclined tourist, Cape Breton has a wide array of outstanding trails. They allow visitors to fully experience the environment. Trails may be destination products in themselves but more often they are part of a diverse product that is essentially inspired by the landscape.
