It is our pleasure to host the CSZ here on the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry campus, traditional territory of the Anishinaabe peoples and Metis nation homelands, during this our 140th anniversary. We are excited by the science on offer this week and the opportunity to showcase our campus and University. We have already seen two excellent days of science and camaraderie in a special satellite symposium honouring the legacy of Peter W. Hochachka held in advance of the main meeting. We are looking forward to even more great science and catching up with friends and colleagues from across Canada and around the world. We have been part of an exceptional team in the LOC and would particularly like to extend thanks to Jay Treberg, Jim Hare, Ken Jeffries and John Brubacher for putting the conference schedule together, David Deslauriers for the French translations, and Alex Quijada-Rodriguez for all student/pdf related organization. We also appreciate Joy Stacey’s extensive efforts in organizing and coordinating the education panel, ZET workshop, and the ZET lecture that will provide an excellent perspective on the value of citizen science to many of our research programs. Many others have contributed to the organization of this meeting and to them we are very grateful. If you see them wearing the tie dye shirt be sure to give them a nod of appreciation. Finally, none of this would have been possible without the extensive assistance and near daily emails with our Society Treasurer Keith Tierney; be sure to buy him the beverage of his choice as a thank you. Financial support for the conference was gratefully received from a variety of sources, not least the University of Manitoba VP Research and International office, Faculty of Science, Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, and Department of Biological Sciences. Research Manitoba were particularly generous in providing support for the conference, and thanks also go to the Company of Biologists for their generous support for student travel to this meeting as well as the satellite symposium in honour of Peter W. Hochachka. In closing we hope you have an enlightening and enjoyable week in Winnipeg. With warm regards, Kevin L. Campbell and W. Gary Anderson Co-Chaires, Comité Organisateur Local de la SCZ 2017 3 Bienvenue de la part du comité organisateur local De la part du comité organisateur local pour la SCZ 2017, nous vous accueillons pour la 56e édition de la conférence annuelle de la Société Canadienne de Zoologie. Il nous fait plaisir de vous inviter à la SCZ pour son 140e anniversaire sur le campus de Fort Garry à l’université du Manitoba, territoire traditionnel du peuple Anishinaabe et terres natives des Métis. Nous sommes excités par la science qui sera présentée cette semaine et par l’opportunité de mettre en vitrine notre campus et université.

  • Dinosaur Metabolism and the Allometry of Maximum Growth Rate
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Dinosaur Metabolism and the Allometry of Maximum Growth Rate Nathan P. Myhrvold* Intellectual Ventures, Bellevue, Washington, United States of America * [email protected] Abstract a11111 The allometry of maximum somatic growth rate has been used in prior studies to classify the metabolic state of both extant vertebrates and dinosaurs. The most recent such studies are reviewed, and their data is reanalyzed. The results of allometric regressions on growth rate are shown to depend on the choice of independent variable; the typical choice used in prior studies introduces a geometric shear transformation that exaggerates the statistical OPEN ACCESS power of the regressions.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Fish Species (Pisces) of La Réunion, Including a Red List of Threatened and Declining Species
    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

Accordingly, this work e0185185. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal. proposes that regional endothermy was present in otodontids and some closely related taxa pone.0185185 (cretoxyrhinids), playing an important role in the evolution of gigantism and in allowing an Editor: Geerat J.
