An analysis of temperature in Nova Scotia, using climate normals for 1961-1990 and
temperature records from 1961 to 2020, is presented for 16 sites across the province. These …

Intertidal habitats are unique because they spend alternating periods of submergence (at
high tide) and emergence (at low tide) every day. Thus, intertidal temperature is mainly …

In intertidal environments, temperature changes at hourly scales are ecologically relevant
because of the physiological stress that organisms must endure as a result. Tides constitute …

Dissolved oxygen (DO) in the global ocean is on the decline, resulting in the degradation of
coastal habitats. As aquaculture production occurs in these regions, proper understanding of …

We introduce and test the subhabitat dependence hypothesis (SDH) in biogeography. This
hypothesis posits that biogeographic pattern within a region differs when determined with …

Materials and Methods We measured intertidal SST every day from 1 May 2014 to 31
October 2018 (with a few exceptions noted below) at nine intertidal locations spanning the …

Materials and Methods Dorian approached Atlantic Canada as a hurricane from the south
(Ezer, 2020) and made landfall as a post-tropical cyclone near Halifax (Nova Scotia) at 19 …

Materials and Methods We did this study at Western Head, a prominent rocky headland
located on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (43.9896 N, 64.6607 W; Figure 1A). We took all …

Biodiversity is one of the most fundamental aspects of the environment and is vital in
preserving the stability of ecosystems. It is therefore important to understand and maintain …

Climate change with increasing global temperatures is well established on a global scale. In
Nova Scotia these changes are reflected in a 1 C increase in the period 1991–2020 relative …
