Genetic Structure and Connectivity of the Endangered Butler's Gartersnake (Thamnophis Butleri) Across the Fragmented Landscape GENETIC STRUCTURE AND CONNECTIVITY OF THE ENDANGERED BUTLER’S GARTERSNAKE (THAMNOPHIS BUTLERI) ACROSS THE FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPE OF SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO By Megan Elizabeth Snetsinger A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Biology in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2017) Copyright © Megan Elizabeth Snetsinger, 2017 Abstract Genetic patterns in many species are affected by environmental features that may enable or obstruct gene flow. Geographical isolation of conspecific individuals by uninhabitable expanses can lead to genetic separation. For species impacted by human activities, understanding how they interact with their environment can promote re-establishment of population connectivity and conservation. Thamnophis butleri (Butler’s gartersnake) is an Endangered species in Ontario, its range comprising three disjunct regional populations: Essex County, Lambton County, and Luther Marsh. Thamnophis butleri is a specialist of wetland-adjacent grassland-type habitat, thus its distribution is constrained by Southwestern Ontario’s largely agricultural landscape. Genetic differentiation among populations inhabiting these isolated regions was shown in a single previous study. I explored genetic structure more comprehensively, augmenting the geographic sampling and deploying landscape genetics approaches. In my first data chapter, I tested for population differentiation in both T. butleri and the generalist Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (eastern gartersnake) where the congeners occur sympatrically in Ontario. Assignment analyses revealed clear genetic structure within T. butleri, with clusters corresponding to geographical regions: one each in Lambton and Luther Marsh, and two in Essex, one along the shoreline and another in LaSalle, ON and the Ojibway Prairie Complex. Dispersal by river, either aquatically or along riparian corridors, may facilitate connection in the Lambton and Essex shoreline clusters, while the Ojibway/LaSalle cluster may have no need to disperse (occurring in good-quality habitat) or be impeded from dispersing by intervening urban areas. In contrast, I found that T. s. sirtalis comprises a single genetic ii population, implying that its generalist ecology allows for dispersal through this heavily altered landscape. In my second data chapter, I explored the relationship between patterns of T. butleri genetic differentiation and landscape composition across its Canadian range, using Mantel-based methods to test the correlation along either uniform or habitat-delineated distance matrices. The relationship between landscape and genetics varied among regional populations, from resistance- based in Lambton to distance-based in Essex. Treating open water as a potential impediment or facilitator of dispersal did not alter my conclusions, raising the possibility of aquatic dispersal that may occur at a different spatial scale than terrestrial dispersal. iii Co-authorship Authorship of data chapters: Comparing the population structure of the specialist Butler’s gartersnake (Thamnophis butleri) and the generalist eastern gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) in Ontario Snetsinger, Megan, Jeffrey R.

Lab work and analysis • I would like to thank everyone in the Lougheed lab who gave me advice and guidance in the lab, particularly Mark Szenteczki who taught me the essentials from the ground up when I began my project. • Thank you to all the assistants who helped me streamline the lab process, mainly Erin Suenaga and Tori Brown. • A big thanks to Zhengxin Sun for genotyping my thousands of PCR runs, and for troubleshooting the problem areas. • And thank you to those who gave me advice on what analyses to do and how to do them, particularly to Mark Szenteczki for showing me how to read my microsatellite results, Becky Taylor for her advice and help with Arlequin, and Jeff Row for getting me through the landscape analysis R code. Funding • Thank you to the folks at the Species at Risk Research Fund for Ontario for funding the first year of my research. • And thank you to my supervisor Dr. Lougheed for making up the rest with his grant from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Emotional support • I really appreciate the love and support from all my friends and family – it really helped me drag myself through the three years of this project. Shout-outs go to Jen, Dionne, Austin, Steve M., Jake, and Hayley. And especially to my parents, who (almost) never thought I’d end up a career student. • I want to give a final recognition to Patt Austin, who just passed away this summer. Despite being deathly afraid of snakes, she supported my passion for them throughout my whole life. • And at last, thanks to our friend the Butler’s gartersnake! vi Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Co-authorship ................................................................................................................................. iv Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................................... v Table of Contents .......................................................................................................................... vii List of Figures ...............................................................................................................................

The jurisdictions selected in this report represent sources of ideas and strategies that, given a thorough analysis and evaluation, could be successfully applied in Ontario. Ontario has several outstanding programs in place to help address the skilled trades shortage. However, individuals are often unaware of the programs and incentives that currently exist in Ontario nor are they aware of how to access information on such programs. Our research indicates that the current challenges Ontario faces in regards to apprenticeship training and the skilled labour shortage are similar to those experienced in many other jurisdictions. A few examples of these challenges are: . a negative perception associated with a career in a skilled trade; . a lack of awareness; . a hesitation from employers to train an apprentice due to training costs and “poaching”. When reviewing “best practices” in other jurisdictions, several themes are evident when analyzing these successful ideas and strategies. These “themes” can be broken down into the following: .

  • THE RETAIL SALES TAX: an ECONOMIC STUDY by KENYON E
    THE RETAIL SALES TAX: AN ECONOMIC STUDY by KENYON E. POOLE A study prepared for The Ontario Committee on Taxation THE RETAIL SALES TAX: AN ECONOMIC STUDY by KENYON E. POOLE, Ph.D. A study prepared for The Ontario Committee on Taxation Printed and Published by FRANK FOGG Queen’s Printer Preface TH E present study was submitted at the beginning of 1964. Much has happened ■ since then with respect to all systems of taxation, including those of the Canadian provinces and the American states. Time limitations have prevented bringing these data up to 1968. The author would like, moreover, to take this opportunity to emphasize that his favourable view with respect to the sales tax is based on two considerations. First, the sales tax is only one tax in the revenue system as a whole. Second, exemptions can be provided for food, clothing, etc., which make the tax at least proportional in the first several thousand dollars of income and spending. In a recommendation in favour of a sales tax there is no implication that any desired use may not be made of a progressive income tax, a graduated inheritance tax, or even a graduated net worth tax. The several taxes can be combined in such a way as to satisfy the public’s view on the desired after-tax distribution of income and wealth. The author’s thanks are gladly given to those who contributed to the study at key points along the line of its development Robert Evans is due special thanks for preparing the first two chapters.
