Andrew T. TOWNSEND, Joseph A. BISHOP, Thomas L. SERFASS, and Robert P. BROOKS
CWBM 9 (2): 88-106.
A human-induced global decline of apex predators resulted in the “release” of smaller mesopredators. These mesopredators exhibit different relationships with landscape disturbance than do their apex cousins.

Causes of Mortality in Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in The Canadian Maritime Provinces, 1991-2016
Amélie MATHIEU, E. Jane PARMLEY, Scott MCBURNEY, Colin ROBERTSON, Helene VAN DONINCK, and Pierre-Yves DAOUST
CWBM 9 (2): 159-173
This article summarizes the results of necropsy findings on 420 bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) from the 3 Canadian Maritime provinces over a 26-yr period. It shows that, as in other regions of North America, anthropogenic factors dominate the diagnosed causes of mortality in this species, representing close to 50% of the cases.
