As with previous editions, this one was inspired by a very similar series piloted by the Parks Canada Western Arctic Field Unit. This report serves as a compilation of the research and monitoring projects that were conducted in the Kejimkujik area. The summaries are all written by the researchers who are listed as contacts for each project but the report as a whole is a collaborative effort between Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada (Kejimkujik) and the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI). A committee comprised of Amanda Lavers and Crystal Doggett (MTRI), Sally O’Grady, Darien Ure, and Chris McCarthy (Parks Canada) collected, edited, and prepared the publication. Many thanks to all the researchers who took the time to submit the research and monitoring project summaries this year. This report was produced in spring 2010 and is a compilation of the research and monitoring projects that were conducted in the Kejimkujik area in 2009 by Parks Canada, MTRI, and their partners. The purpose of the report is to make information about these projects available to the public, government agencies, researchers and other stakeholders. Research and monitoring projects provide the information necessary to make wise management and conservation decisions. The projects in this report are organized in four chapters corresponding to Kejimkujik’s Ecological Integrity (EI) Indicator Ecosystems: Coastal, Forest, Wetland, and Freshwater, with an additional chapter highlighting research about the Human Dimensions of sustainable resource use. Projects are categorized as either monitoring or research projects. 6 ANNUAL REPORT OF RESEARCH & MONITORING IN THE GREATER KEJIMKUJIK ECOSYSTEM 2009 The research and monitoring projects detailed in this report are important tools for attaining sustainable management of our natural resources and maintaining ecological integrity of our protected areas. The monitoring projects are conducted to keep track of how the ecological systems around us are changing over time and examine the effectiveness of management actions. The research projects provide a better understanding of the ecology of the area and how it is affected by natural and human-related influences. Overall, they indicate an impressive amount of work that is being undertaken in Kejimkujik and the surrounding area. Kejimkujik represents the Atlantic Upland Natural Region in Parks Canada’s network of protected areas. Kejimkujik consists of 381 km2 inland and 22 km2 on the coast and, in combination with the Tobeatic, is the core area of the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve. Since its establishment, Kejimkujik has been an important centre of science for southwest Nova Scotia. In collaboration with partners, research and monitoring in the park and surrounding landscape has informed decision-makers on a number of

  • On the Origin of Skilled Forelimb Movements
    TINS August 2000 20/7/00 12:09 pm Page 372 R EVIEW On the origin of skilled forelimb movements Andrew N. Iwaniuk and Ian Q. Whishaw Homologizing behaviour was once considered unreliable, but the application of modern comparative methods has been shown to provide strong evidence of behavioural homologies. Skilled forelimb movements were thought to originate in the primate lineage but in fact are common among tetrapod taxa and probably share a common origin in early tetrapods. Furthermore, skilled movements are likely to have been derived from, and elaborated through, food-handling behaviour.In addition,it is now thought that the role played by the lateral and medial descending pathways of the spinal cord in the execution of skilled forelimb movements could be synergistic, rather than the exclusive responsibility of an individual pathway.
