The epiphytic community of Pterygophora californica: Race Rocks MPA, British Columbia

Abstract Epiphytic algal growth comprises a large and complex community of the sublittoral Pacific Northwest. However, very little is known concerning population composition or dynamics in non-obligate epiphytic communities. This study aims to shed light on the epiphytic community on Pterygophora californica stipes through the population interactions of Nereocystis luetkeana and Laminaria saccharina. P. californica

Short visits reveal consistent patterns of interyear and intercolony variation in seabird nestling diet and performance

D.F. Bertram, T. Golumbia, G.K. Davoren, A. Harfenist, and J. Brown  Abstract: To investigate the utility of short visits to seabird colonies to gauge nestling growth performance and diet, in 4 consecutive years (1995–1998) we measured nestling development and diet of Rhinoceros Auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata) at three colonies in British Columbia: Seabird Rocks, Triangle Island,

Stewardship Account for Rosy Owl-clover: Orthocarpus bracteosus

Orthocarpus bracteosus has been known in the Victoria area since 1893.    Historical records for Sidney, Oak Bay, Victoria and the Patricia Bay Highway are unmappable because the locality is too vague.    Historical records of populations at Rollin’s Farm, Blenkinsop (Lost) Lake, Mount Douglas (Cedar Hill) and Beacon Hill are at least 90 years old and

Independent Assessment of Satellite Channel Ecological Reserve #067: With Respect to the GSX Pipeline

Satellite Channel Ecological Reserve #067 (ER67), located between Saltspring Island and Saanich Peninsula, was designated in 1975 to conserve rich benthic communities typical of fine-grained, level-bottom environments in the southern Gulf Islands (Figure 1). Under the Ecological Reserve Act, industrial uses are prohibited in ecological reserves (ER) to protect the environmental values associated with these
