A polar bear stretches at the St.Felicien Wildlife Zoo in St. Felicien, March 5, 2009. According to Environment Canada, Canada is home of approximately 15,000 of the estimated 20,000-25,000 polar bears worldwide. The species is also listed as a special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada while last year, the US listed the polar bear as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act because their sea ice habitat is melting down.

About the Research The occurrence of deformities (sometimes called “malformations”) in natural populations of amphibians has been a highly publicized environmental issue for more than a decade. The cause(s) for amphibian deformation remains scientifically controversial but the primary agents currently being investigated are parasitic trematode infection, chemical pollution and predator-induced injury, or a potential synergy between these. Low levels of developmental abnormalities occur naturally in all vertebrates, in anuran amphibians the “normal” background ratio for abnormalities is generally considered to be less than 5% of the overall population. North American wetlands where amphibian populations exhibit a greater than 5% level of deformed individuals are often referred to as “hotspots” may be indicative of overall wetland ecosystem stress or collapse (Lannoo 2008). In Southern Quebec, researchers in the 1990's reported numerous deformed anurans featuring missing limbs, limb segments (mostly toes) at several wetlands. Additionally, the teams found small numbers of frogs had supernumerary limbs (suggesting potential trematode parasite involvement), a few with missing eyes and several of the wetlands had a greater than 5% deformity ratio. Although the researchers suggested chemical involvement no definitive cause(s) or underlying mechanism resulting in abnormal development were established. More than a decade later very little information remains on the rate of anuran deformities nor the underlying causes among natural populations in Southern Quebec. With our current research, 2009/10, we have examined almost 10,000 wild amphibians for injury and deformity ratios from Southern Quebec wetlands. In 2009 we found several wetlands with a deformity ratio well above expected baselines, over 16% at one residential pond. Our research continues but we have identified trematode parasites and some aquatic tadpole predators as proximate causes for young frogs and toads with abnormal hind limbs and other deformities. Complexly our preliminary analysis of date from field observations suggests that injury and deformity ratios may increase as environmental quality of wetland habitats decreases .As amphibians globally are experiencing unprecedented population declines, finding out specific information about localized phenomena is invaluable towards achieving larger-scale conservation efforts.

Screw it I said. I'm too old for this crap. I got up and got dressed. In my civies. I caved and decided to drive to work. Later, as I was sitting on the couch waiting for the school bus to come so I could kick the Short Squad out the door, I felt like a load. I thought of all of those times that I opted to drive, only to feel 500 yards down the road in the rolling metal death box that pang of "Dammit, I should have ridden!". I thought of the times I'd shown weakness of fortitude and opted to drive in, only to pass 3 or 4 cyclists on the way in who seemed to say to me with their proud stares, "I am so much harder than you are." I asked myself, "Self, what would Jens Voight do?" That didn't work, 'cause Jens would have been up and out the door 3 hours earlier and just getting back now. Forget Rules 5 and 9, Jens has HIS OWN RULE. Then I thought, "Wayaminit. Didn't I just launch a mother-lovin' WEB STORE with merch DEVOTED to people who rode their bikes to work?" Wasn't this my tribe? Surely I should be kicked off the island. I was motivated into action. Changed into the rain kit (#teamfenderless) and out the door I went. Always the best call, really.

The idea behind the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation's (HSRC) iron fertilization experiment last year was fairly simple in theory. If they could increase plankton blooms (which love iron) then the whole foodweb above would be boosted - including salmon. Oh and possibly help CO2 absorbtion. The idea isn't a new one, but it is controversial not least because we don't really know what the ecosytem effects of this would be. In this particular case, the experiment was even more controversial because it seems the HSRC didn't obtain (or necessarily need) permission from either Provincial or Federal Government. It seems that the HSRC are waiting to do it again this year, but have been held back by Environment Canada who have seized data and samples after the orginal dumping.

From Wikipedia.org: "A highway sign in 1973 promoting White River as the 'coldest spot in Canada.' White River advertises itself as "The Coldest Spot in Canada" with recorded temperatures as low as -58 °C (-72 °F). However, this is a myth, as the coldest temperature in Canada has been recorded in Snag, Yukon, at -62.8 °C (-81.0 °F) on 3 February 1947.[2] Even in Ontario, the coldest recorded temperature was in Iroquois Falls at -58.3 °C (-72.9 °F) (23 January 1935), which is the lowest temperature reported in Eastern Canada too.[2] White River's reputation for coldest area is probably based on the fact that for many years its reported temperature was deemed "the coldest in the nation today" from the handful of stations reporting daily temperature extremes in newspapers and on radio, climatological stations data being only available monthly to Environment Canada." Size: 1515 X 1024 Keywords:    See, I wasn't kidding. From Wikipedia.org: "A highway sign in 1973 promoting White River as the 'coldest spot in Canada.' White River advertises itself as "The Coldest Spot in Canada" with recorded temperatures as low as -58 °C (-72 °F). However, this is a myth, as the coldest temperature in Canada has been recorded in Snag, Yukon, at -62.8 °C (-81.0 °F) on 3 February 1947.[2] Even in Ontario, the coldest recorded temperature was in Iroquois Falls at -58.3 °C (-72.9 °F) (23 January 1935), which is the lowest temperature reported in Eastern Canada too.[2] White River's reputation for coldest area is probably based on the fact that for many years its reported temperature was deemed "the coldest in the nation today" from the handful of stations reporting daily temperature extremes in newspapers and on radio, climatological stations data being only available monthly to Environment Canada."
