  • Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis
    Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis Dagg, M.A. THESIS Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Waterloo in partial ful­ fillmenc of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopty in Biolog The University of Waterloo February, 1967 The University of Waterloo requires the signature of all persons using this thesis. Please sign below, and give address and date. I hereby declare that I am the sole a�thor of this thesis. I authorize the University of Waterloo to lend it to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Abstract The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride and the order in which the combinations of supporting legs were used are tabulated. When possible the times for the strides are calculated. The walk patterns of each of the four families studied are shown to be statistically distinctive. Within each family, those members that live where the vegetation is so dense that they must rely on hearing to warn them of danger use a more stable walk than those species that inhabit open grasslands. A stable walk is that in which diagonal legs are used in·preference to lateral legs and three or four supporting legs are used rather than two. With a more stable walk, 4 species is able to pause quickly and to flee instantly if danger thr�atens.

  • Woodland Caribou Population Decline in Alberta: Fact Or Fiction?
    The Sixth North American Caribou Workshop, Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, 1-4 March, 1994. Woodland caribou population decline in Alberta: fact or fiction? Corey J.A. Bradshaw1 & Daryll M. Hebert2 1 University of Alberta, Department of Biological Sciences, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2E9. Present address: University of Otago, Department of Zoology, P.O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand. 2 Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries, Inc., P.O. Box 8000, Boyle, Alberta, TOA 0M0. Abstract: We re-assessed the view of a major woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population decline in Alberta. Several historical publications and provincial documents refer to this drastic decline as the major premise for the desig• nation of Alberta's woodland caribou an endangered species. In the past, wildlife management and inventory techniques were speculative and limited by a lack of technology, access and funding. The accepted trend of the decline is based on many speculations, opinions and misinterpretation of data and is unsubstantiated. Many aerial surveys failed to reduce variance and did not estimate sightability. Most surveys have underestimated numbers and contributed unreliable data to support a decline. Through forest fire protection and the presence of extensive wetlands, the majority of potential cari• bou habitat still exists. Recreational and aboriginal subsistence hunting does not appear to have contributed greatly to mortality, although data are insufficient for reliable conclusions. Wolf (Canis lupus), population fluctuations are inconc• lusive and do not provide adequate information on which to base prey population trends. The incidence of documen• ted infection by parasites in Alberta is low and likely unimportant as a cause of the proposed decline.

  • Assiniboine Park Zoo Joins World Association of Zoos and Aquariums
    World Association of Zoos and Aquariums Welcomes New Members The World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) is pleased to welcome Assiniboine Park Zoo as a new Institutional member to the global zoo and aquarium community. The Assiniboine Park Zoo, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was founded in 1904 and is the oldest zoological facility in Canada. In 2009, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy unveiled a visionary redevelopment plan that laid the groundwork for the revitalization and modernization of Assiniboine Park Zoo. The Zoo has since been transformed into a world-class destination and leader in environmental and wildlife education, research, and conservation. Today, the 32 hectare (80 acre) Zoo is home to more than 180 species with a focus on native and cold-hardy species and the recreation and celebration of Manitoba wildlife, geography, and culture. Dr Martín Zordan, Chief Executive Officer of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), said: “WAZA’s mission is to be the voice of a global community of high standard, conservation-based zoos and aquariums and a catalyst for their joint conservation action. By having the Assiniboine Park Zoo joining us, we make this mission stronger.” “We are very pleased to join the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and be part of a global community of progressive zoological organizations that are actively engaged in critically important efforts to protect and conserve wildlife,” said Grant Furniss, Senior Director, Animal Care & Conservation, Assiniboine Park Zoo. “This will present us with incredible opportunities for networking, professional development, and collaboration on international research and conservation projects.” At Assiniboine Park Zoo, conservation and research go hand in hand.

  • Assiniboine Park Zoo Expands Efforts to Save Critically Endangered Butterflies from Extinction
    sfgdg Assiniboine Park Zoo Expands Efforts to Save Critically Endangered Butterflies from Extinction For immediate release: Winnipeg, July 20, 2019 – The Assiniboine Park Conservancy has released 19 critically endangered Poweshiek skipperling butterflies at the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s properties located in the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve in the RM of Stuartburn in southeastern Manitoba. In addition, for the first time, the team has successfully bred the tiny butterflies on site at the Assiniboine Park Zoo. This has never been done before and is a critical development in the effort to save the species from extinction. “The Poweshiek skipperling is on the verge of extinction and the Assiniboine Park Conservancy is in a unique position to change that before the species is lost forever,” said Laura Burns, Research Conservation Specialist, Assiniboine Park Conservancy. The Poweshiek skipperling is a small grassland butterfly species whose historic range includes southern Manitoba and the Midwestern USA. Today, there are only two small, isolated locations where the butterfly can still be found: the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve in Manitoba and a second site near Flint, Michigan. Experts estimate there may be fewer than 500 Poweshiek skipperlings remaining, making it one of the most endangered species in the world. “Breeding and raising these butterflies from egg to adulthood in a controlled setting at the Zoo presents us with a tremendous opportunity to increase the number we release each year and potentially introduce them to new sites within the available grassland habitat here in Manitoba,” added Burns. As an indicator species, butterflies are particularly sensitive to changes in their habitat and can tell us something about the overall health of an ecosystem.
