THE INFLUENCE OF TIDE AND WEATHER ON PROVISIONING RATES OF CHICK-REARING BALD EAGLES IN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA Kyle Hamish Elliott Canadian Wildlife Service, 5421 Robertson Road, Delta, British Columbia V4K 3N2 Canada Christopher E. Gill Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6 Canada John E. Elliott ^ Canadian Wildlife Service, 5421 Robertson Road, Delta, British Columbia V4K 3N2 Canada Abstract. We investigated how tide and weather (temperature and rainfall) influenced Bald Eagle {Haliaeetus leucocephalus) provisioning rates on the east and west coasts of Vancouver Island, British Columbia during the 1996 breeding season. Eagles nesting on the west coast had less frequent prey- delivery rates (3.2 ± 1.0 deliveries/d, N = 6 nests) than those nesting on the east coast (7.2 ± 2.8 deliveries/d, N ~ 7 nests). Prey-delivery rates were negatively correlated with precipitation on the west coast, but not on the east coast. On both coasts, prey-delivery rates were negatively related with tem- perature (r = —0.45), as nestlings have lower energetic needs during warm weather, and positively related with adult attendance (r = 0.35). Prey-delivery rates were highest at intermediate tide height and early in the day, reflecting food availability. Intertidal fish were a major component of eagle diet on the east coast (plainfin midshipman [Porichthys notatus] = 46% by frequency) while pelagic fish were the major component on the west coast (Pacific mackerel [Scomber japonicus] = 92%). We concluded that landscape features (e.g., tidal flats) and weather (e.g., rain and temperature) interact to influence provisioning rates of Bald Eagles on Vancouver Island, and that these factors may drive spatial variation in eagle productivity. Key Words: Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus; British Columbia, productivity, weather, tides.

Investigamos como la marea y el clima (temperatura y precipitaciones) influenciaron las tasas de aprovisionamiento por parte de individuos de Haliaeetus leucocephalus en las costas este y oeste de Vancouver Island, British Columbia, durante la estacion reproductiva de 1996. Las aguilas que esta- ban nidificando en la costa oeste presentaron tasas de entrega de presas menos frecuentes (3.2 ±1.0 entregas/d, N = 6 nidos) que aquellas que estaban nidificando en la costa este (7.2 ± 2.8 entregas/d, N = 7 nidos) . Las tasas de entrega de presas estuvieron negativamente correlacionadas con la precipi- tacion en la costa oeste, pero no en la costa este. En ambas costas, las tasas de entrega de presas estuvieron relacionadas negativamente con la temperatura (r = —0.45), debido a que los pichones ^ Email address: [email protected] 1 2 Elliott et al. VoL. 39, No. 1 tienen necesidades energeticas menores durante periodos calidos, y relacionadas positivamente con la presencia de los adultos (r = 0.35). Las tasas de entrega de las presas fueron mas altas a niveles inter- medios de altura de la marea y al comienzo del dia, reflejando la disponibilidad de alimentos.

  • Community Structure of Mites (Acari: Acariformes and Parasitiformes) in Nests of the Semi-Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula Semitorquata) R
    International Research Journal of Natural Sciences Vol.3, No.3, pp.48-53, December 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF MITES (ACARI: ACARIFORMES AND PARASITIFORMES) IN NESTS OF THE SEMI-COLLARED FLYCATCHER (FICEDULA SEMITORQUATA) R. Davidova, V. Vasilev, N. Ali, J. Bakalova Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen, 115, Universitetska Str., Shumen, 9700, Bulgaria. ABSTRACT: The aims of the present paper are to establish the specific structure of communities of prostigmatic and mesostigmatic mites in nests of the semi-collared flycatcher (Ficedula semitorquata) and to compare the fauna with the mites in nests of two other European flycatchers. For analysis of community structure of mites were used the indices: prevalence, relative density, mean intensity and dominance. Mite communities are strongly dominated by the species Dermanyssus gallinae and Ornithonyssus sylviarum, which were found with the highest frequency and dominance. The mite communities are characterized by a large number of subrecedent species. KEYWORDS: Acariformes, Parasitiformes, Nest of Bird, Community Structure INTRODUCTION The nests of different species of birds are an example of a fairly unstable and isolated habitat, with its own dependent on it specific fauna which involves different groups of invertebrate animals. One of the components of this fauna which demonstrates particular abundance is the arthropods, and more specifically, the mites. The studies of Parasitiformes show that mesostigmatic mites living in birds' nests vary both in terms of their species affiliation and the structure of their communities [4, 8]. Highly important with respect to veterinary science and medicine are a number of species, such as Ornithonyssus bursa, Ornithonyssus sylviarum, Dermanyssus gallinae harboured by birds, Ornithonyssus bacoti, harboured by rodents, etc.

Hale David Wilkins Roberta Hill Juan de Dios Yapita Narrating Native Histories aims to foster a rethinking of the ethical, methodological, and conceptual frameworks within which we locate our work on Native histories and cultures. We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty. We encourage collaborative work that recognizes Native intellectuals, cultural inter- preters, and alternative knowledge producers, as well as projects that question the relationship between orality and literacy. skin for skin DEATH AND LIFE FOR INUIT AND INNU GERALD M.

Box 102, Hungary 2Department of Horticulture, Szent István University, Páter Károly u. 1., H-2100 Gödöllő, Hungary (Received: 11 September 2020; accepted: 25 September 2020) A new species (Rotundabaloghia (Circobaloghia) nagyi sp. nov.) of the rotundabaloghid mites is de- scribed based on females and male collected in bamboo leaf litter in Cameroon. The new species differs from the other Afrotropical rotundabaloghid mites in following character combination: female genital shield with long apical process, the setae v7 and v8 long and pilose, v6 long and smooth, v2 short and needle-like, female genital, dorsal and ventral shields are ornamented by irregular pits, sternal setae short and needle-like. This character combination is unknown within the African rotundabaloghids. Keywords: Soil mites, Uropodina, taxonomy, Cameroon. The family Rotundabaloghidae is one of the intensively studied groups within the Uropodina mites with more than 120 described species from the tropics. The members of the large and widely distributed subgenus Rotundabaloghia (Circobaloghia) occur in all the tropics; Circobaloghia species are reported from Neotropical, Afrotropical and Orien- tal regions (Kontschán 2010). The West-African sub-region is a poorly investigated part of the Ethiopian realm from rotundabaloghid mite point of view. Rotundabaloghid mites from this sub-region are presented only from Cameroon, Ghana, Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Togo and Sierra Leone and till today only 15 species are reported (Kontschán 2010, 2019a, 2020a, b).

Gwiazdowicz • Bartłomiej Gołdyn • Jerzy Błoszyk1,2 Received: 6 September 2013 / Accepted: 27 January 2016 / Published online: 9 February 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Underground nests of Talpa europaea, known as the common mole, are very specific microhabitats, which are also quite often inhabited by various groups of arthro- pods. Mites from the suborder Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) are only one of them. One could expect that mole nests that are closely located are inhabited by communities of arthropods with similar species composition and structure. However, results of empirical studies clearly show that even nests which are close to each other can be different both in terms of the species composition and abundance of Uropodina communities. So far, little is known about the factors that can cause these differences. The major aim of this study was to identify factors determining species composition, abundance, and community structure of Uropodina communities in mole nests. The study is based on material collected during a long-term investigation conducted in western parts of Poland. The results indicate that the two most important factors influencing species composition and abundance of Uropodina communities in mole nests are nest-building material and depth at which nests are located.
