I recently came across an article in the Tyee taken from the– –Hakai magazine about the negative human impact on wild populations by size selection in fisheries and hunting. “Humans Kill 14 Times More Adult Fish than Wild Predators” The research was authored by Dr. Tom Reimchen and former students , with some of the
This is a reference to the work of Dr. Tom Reimchen from his webpage http://web.uvic.ca/~reimlab/index.html Dr. Reichen was supported in his early research at Drizzle Lake by The Friends of Ecological Reserves. Summaries of his research in the following areas are illustrated: Adaptive Radiation and Functional Morphology Haida Gwaii Lakes , Biophysical Data Salmon Forest
P.O’Reillym T.E. Reimchen, R. Beech and C. Stroebeck in this paper submitted to Science AAS , draw on restriction endonuclease map variation in Mitochondrial DNA to show that morphologically endemic freshwater populations of threespine stickleback contain two lineages of haplotypes—– See complete PDF: mitochondrial_dna_in_gasterosteus

This research by Sheila Douglas, indicates that Floral coloration is an important component of pollinator attraction among entosophilous flowers, reflectance of wavelengths in both the visible and the near uv contribute to color patterns……. The present study examines UV reflectance among 12 species of flowering plants found in the Sphagnum bog habitat. See this PDF:
