- Abstract:
- ... The purpose of this study was to capture information on patient experiences and perspectives of group medical appointments (GMAs) and compare them to those attending individual appointments (IAs) with the diabetes education team (usual care) for managing type 2 diabetes. Adults (N = 18; 61% male; 83% 50-70 years old) with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) living in rural Saskatchewan were recruited ...

- Abstract:
- ... Specimens of Stylops advarians were sampled by collecting foraging bees of Andrena milwaukeensis along the South Saskatchewan River within Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. As the foraging season progressed from early May till late June over three consecutive years (2016–2018), most stylopized bees possessed endoparasitic adult (neotenic) females of S. advarians protruding from the bee gaster's dorsum. In ...

- Abstract:
- ... Traditionally, hydrological models are only calibrated to reproduce streamflow regime without considering other hydrological state variables, such as soil moisture and evapotranspiration. Limited studies have been performed on constraining the model parameters, despite the fact that the presence of a large number of parameters may provide large degree of freedom, resulting in equifinality and poor ...

A total of 370 specimens were obtained from owl pellets taken from 4 localities in southern Saskatchewan. The 4 most common morphotypes are, in order of descending relative abundance, molars with 5 closed triangles and a well-developed but widely open sixth triang ...

This study examined if dwarf French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown at northern latitudes develop seeds with superior yielding potential compared with plants grown at more southern latitudes. Two lines (BND3085 and BND3106) were grown at four sites across latitudes ranging from 52°N to 3°S. BND3085 and BND3106 seeds from Saskatoon grown plants (52°N) had the least damaged seed coats but the hig ...

When these were analysed for virulence on 16 standard differential wheat lines 38 virulence phenotypes were found, with MBDS (11.7%), TBBG (11.3%), TNBG (10.2%) and MBTN (8.3%) the most common. In Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 29 virulence phenotypes were ...

However, predicting migration timing and movements in relation to weather conditions at staging sites can increase our understanding and mitigate effects of wind turbine collisions. Here we assessed northward mig ...

Post-collection changes by evaporation or sublimation can be severe, and may be minimized, but not eliminated, by emptying collection gauges immediately after snowfall. Snow gauge undercatch caused two main effects: a small direct effect caused by preferen ...

In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and especially in shorter crops such as lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), A. fatua seed panicles elongate above the crop canopy, which can facilitate physical cutting of the panicles (clipping) to reduce viabl ...

Many zooplankton species are sen ...
