Effects of Weather on Reproductive Success of Birds at Churchill, Manitoba

Describes the effect of a severe wind and rain storm, 8 July 1965, on passerine bird nestlings in this area. Mortality from exposure was high: there was little evidence of starvation. The weather did not effect nests with eggs only. Non-passerine species appeared largely unaffected by the storm. The altricial condition of passerine young may account for paucity of arctic passerine species.Effets du temps sur la reproduction des oiseaux à Churchill, Manitoba. Les auteurs étudient les effets d'un vent violent et d'une forte pluie d'orage du début juillet 1965 sur les nichées d'oiseaux de la région de Churchill, Manitoba, et le rôle, peut-être déterminant, du temps dans la composition de l'avifaune arctique

Devon Island Programs, 1968

Four field parties, studying glaciology, botany and ornithology, used the Arctic Institute's facilities on Devon Island during the summer of 1968. The botanical and ornithological studies were carried out from the Base Camp near Cape Sparbo, while the glaciological work was pursued from field camps on the ice cap and the Sverdrup Glacier. ..

Devon Island Programs, 1967

The Arctic Institute's facilities on Devon Island were again used during the summer of 1967 by field parties studying glaciology, glacio-isostatic geomorphology, periglacial geomorphology, ornithology, and botany. In addition, an expedition photographer recorded the summer's activities with still photographs and on 16 mm. colour film. Field camps were established at various locations and the studies were pursued from these as well as from the Base Camp close to Cape Sparbo. ..

Devon Island Programs, 1966

Five field parties availed themselves of the facilities at the Arctic Institute's Base Camp on Devon Island during the 1966 field season. Each party consisted of two men (or in the case of the glaciology party, one man and one woman). The general areas of study were glaciology, botany, ornithology, periglacial geomorphology, and glacioisostatic geomorphology. A base-camp staff of three, including two Boy Scouts, provided a valuable service in maintaining the Base Camp, and in assisting the various field parties as required. The first party flew to Devon Island from Resolute Bay on 11 June, and the remainder followed on 16 and 29 June. Some of the party left Devon Island by air on 13 August, while the remainder were evacuated by the icebreaker John A. Macdonald on 29 August. Transport to and from Devon Island was greatly simplified through the kind assistance of Dr. F. Roots of the Polar Continental Shelf Project; whenever weather and the needs of his own project permitted, he made every effort to assist in the movement of equipment and personnel to and from Devon Island. ..
