Abstract:
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the Townsend's vole, Microtus townsendii, was compared with mouse mtDNA by positioning vole restriction enzyme fragments on the known laboratory mouse mtDNA molecule by homology hybridization. The vole mitochondrial genome is conserved in general sequence organization and size but does contain a nonhomologous region of more than 600 base pairs not found in the mouse sequence. Thirty-five voles were collected from seven different localities throughout the range of the species, including insular populations on Bowen and Vancouver islands. The variation of vole mtDNA sequences within this species was assayed with six hexameric and four tetrameric type II restriction endonucleases. These individuals can be divided into seven distinct maternal lines. The level of nucleotide substitution between populations is shown to be as high as 0.896 ± 0.350%. The voles from Bowen Island showed no detectable variation within their population, or divergence from a mainland population on the adjacent coast. This fact suggests a recent colonization of Bowen Island. The samples from Vancouver Island fall into two major maternal lines, which show 0.453 ± 0.240% divergence. These insular maternal lines are 0.677 ± 0.257% divergent from the most closely related mainland population. These results suggest that the voles on Vancouver Island represent long-established maternal lines, and are not derived by a recent colonization from a mainland source population. Based on conservative estimates for rates of nucleotide substitution, Vancouver Island has been inhabited by the Townsend's vole since at least the Olympic interglacial.

Abstract:
A new U–Pb date of [Formula: see text] for foliated felsic metavolcanic rocks of the Bowen Island Group, from Mount Elphinstone in the southwesternmost Coast Mountains of British Columbia, indicates that there the age of this hitherto undated unit is early Middle Jurassic. These rocks grade along strike to the north-northwest into a more sedimentary facies, which north of Jervis Inlet contains a probable Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic) ammonite. The Bowen Island Group thus appears to include Lower and Middle Jurassic rocks and to be coeval in part with volcanic rocks of the Bonanza Formation on Vancouver Island to the west and the Harrison Lake Formation within the central Coast Mountains 75 km to the east.

Abstract:
Abstract In a companion paper, the authors presented a formulation and evaluation of an urban parameterization designed to represent the urban energy balance in the Community Land Model. Here the robustness of the model is tested through sensitivity studies and the model’s ability to simulate urban heat islands in different environments is evaluated. Findings show that heat storage and sensible heat flux are most sensitive to uncertainties in the input parameters within the atmospheric and surface conditions considered here. The sensitivity studies suggest that attention should be paid not only to characterizing accurately the structure of the urban area (e.g., height-to-width ratio) but also to ensuring that the input data reflect the thermal admittance properties of each of the city surfaces. Simulations of the urban heat island show that the urban model is able to capture typical observed characteristics of urban climates qualitatively. In particular, the model produces a significant heat island that increases with height-to-width ratio. In urban areas, daily minimum temperatures increase more than daily maximum temperatures, resulting in a reduced diurnal temperature range relative to equivalent rural environments. The magnitude and timing of the heat island vary tremendously depending on the prevailing meteorological conditions and the characteristics of surrounding rural environments. The model also correctly increases the Bowen ratio and canopy air temperatures of urban systems as impervious fraction increases. In general, these findings are in agreement with those observed for real urban ecosystems. Thus, the model appears to be a useful tool for examining the nature of the urban climate within the framework of global climate models.

Abstract:
A partial juvenile Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) skeleton from nearshore marine sands at Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia has been radiocarbon dated to 12 570 ± 70 BP. This date is supported by both stratigraphic and regional sea-level emergence data and is similar to radiocarbon dates on a Steller sea lion humerus from Bowen Island, just north of Vancouver. The juvenile apparently died from a blow to the braincase, most likely caused by a Steller sea lion bull. The Courtenay specimen is significant since very few Pleistocene otariid fossils are complete enough to be assigned to modern taxa. Associated mollusk remains indicate that the marine paleoclimate of the fossil locality was considerably colder than now — close to that along the northern reaches of Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound, Alaska. Pollen and plant macrofossils collected from the Courtenay site clearly demonstrate the presence of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests nearby during this early late-glacial interval. Fish remains (mainly Pacific cod and walleye pollock, with some salmon) from this site probably reflect selection by adult sea lions at a rookery.

Abstract. The study of the interactions between urban surfaces and the urban boundary layer plays an important role in urban climatology, especially seen against the background of increasing urbanisation in most parts of the world. Measurements of radiation and heat fluxes suffer from the extreme heterogeneity of the urban landscape. It is therefore difficult to get accurate and representative measurements. To bridge the gap between accurate point measurements and their spatial representation, satellite data from Landsat-TM are used. Methods and results of the investigation of radiation properties, net radiation and heat fluxes of urban areas in the Basel Region, NW-Switzerland are presented. In addition to field measurements, satellite data from Landsat-TM were linked to numerical models to compute net radiation and heat fluxes of the whole region. By integrating the normalized difference Vegetation index (NDVI) from multi-spectral satellite data, storage heat fluxes could be estimated with high accuracy. The next step was to compute latent and sensible heat fluxes by using a Bowen-ratio approach attributed to a land use Classification. Of interest is the Observation that the idea of an «Urban Heat Island» (UHI) has to be defined very carefully. Very often an «Urban Cooling Island» may be found during daytime and under clear sky conditions. This feature could be explained using the results of the satellite based radiation and heat budget analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines the question of why people live in rural communities, what draws them to these communities and the significance of social sustainability. The focus is on the view of individual perspectives that could be obtained through the process of completed questionnaires and interviews. Results of the combined questionnaire and interviews were referenced to earlier studies and to government statistics. The community of Bowen Island served as the case study, a rural community with a historical and evolving relationship to Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. The research activity was designed to be one of information and knowledge gathering, rather than an issue-oriented approach. The approach taken is one of discovering patterns of shared values and the adaptive practices of islanders in their homes and community environs. Transcribed interview responses were grouped by enquiry type to facilitate comparison between participants across BI neighbourhoods, resulting in qualitatively rich personal narratives about home, habitat and community engagement. The community is physically engaged in a beautiful mountainous and marine environment, which is also a tourist destination. Fun is a quality of BI’s community celebrations along with spirituality and a connection to nature, the backdrop to a privileged life-style; some with ‘plenty of dough’ most somewhere in-between ranging to bohemian artists, sharing in the community dynamic. The major attraction and commitment to stay on BI was the desire to achieve and retain a connection to nature. Diverse opinions expressed by the respondents were accepted and respected by the group, the open discussions and commitment to the Island has resulted in a shared value system while respecting diversity. The major concern of the Islanders is the feeling of uncertainty resulting from issues of governance. Shifts in ethical norms and lifestyle patterns warrant examination: the dynamics that constitute a cohesive community can be seen in the lived experiences and individual intentions of people on an island such as Bowen where the cultural collective aspires to live very close to nature at the wild land and rural-urban fringe.

Abstract:
The breeding success of the Little Penguin was significantly higher in northern populations compared with documented southern colonies. Several southern colonies including Phillip Island in Victoria and colonies in Tasmania, have been characterised by poor breeding success, increasingly later commencement of breeding, and declining populations. This study aimed to compare and contrast the ecological attributes of a thriving northern population with other documented colonies. I collected long term data on breeding success (1987 to 1997) of the Little Penguin on Bowen Island, and related variability in breeding success to ocean currents and climate patterns, foraging behaviour and diet, nesting habitat, and inter-specific and fisheries competition. The benefits of successional changes to nesting habitat on Bowen Island since active habitat management commenced in 1989 were examined, including the importance of burrow depth, aspect, distance to water from the burrow, and vegetation type on breeding success of the Little Penguin. Morphological measurements of east coast penguins indicated a north-south cline, similar to that described in New Zealand. The Little Penguin was larger at higher latitudes. Whilst adults were sedentary and displayed a high degree of nest site fidelity, juveniles dispersed widely in their first three years, but then returned to the colony, sometimes to their natal burrow, to breed. This appears to be an adaptive mechanism, which selects for high quality nesting habitat. The study confirmed earlier findings that mature vegetation assemblages, namely woodland and forest, support higher breeding success than structurally simpler grassland and herbland habitat. This may contribute to observed differences in breeding success between northern and southern colonies, because many of the southern colonies have degraded nesting habitat. Most important to the diet of the Little Penguin were clupeoids, which dominated the fish species of Jervis Bay. The substantial clupeoid resources were targeted by the tuna fishery for bait, in the same areas and coinciding with maximum demands (chick raising and fledging), as penguins. The potential quantity of baitfish taken from Jervis Bay was over 10, 000 tonnes per year, which was well beyond the quantities raising concerns in other regions, although the fishery remains unregulated. Nevertheless, the foraging range of Bowen Island penguins was smaller than has previously been described Little Penguins on Bowen Island had a heavy reliance on relatively shallow waters of the Bay, within 5 km of the island. Daily foraging distances exceeding 20 km coincided with low breeding success, sometimes below that required for population replacement. Greater daily foraging range during the breeding season in southern Victoria may explain in part why these populations are declining. The principal mechanism for nutrient enrichment of Jervis Bay waters was the East Australia Current (EAC). This is a large and powerful, warm water boundary current of 250 km diameter and 1000 feet depth, which promoted slope water intrusion through upwelling along the New South Wales coast during the study, particularly during the penguin breeding season. The EAC effects northern colonies, but less so southern colonies. The Bowen Island colony was prone to periodic breeding failure, which was related to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, indicated in Australia by the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). ENSO warm events, corresponding with negative values of the SOI, depressed the EAC and caused downwelling, leading in some seasons to increased breeding failure. There was a correlation between both fledging success and adult mortality, and the SOI. The mean breeding success of the Bowen Island colony, at 1.46 chicks per pair over the ten-year study, was the highest recorded for the Little Penguin, and the population was increasing.

Abstract:
The future of human health and that of all other species depends on the viability and sustainability of a host of environments and ecosystems. Human behaviour(s) have profound effects (both positive and negative) on such ecosystems. Despite the obviousness of these statements, there remains a lack of clarity around the mechanisms for altering specific behaviours related to sustainability and their impact on the physical environment. This research grapples with the issue of why it is necessary to identify relations between human behaviour and achieving sustainability. It studied a dialogue process as a means to enable people to move from learning about what sustainability might be to taking action toward making the Georgia Basin region more sustainable. The dialogue process that was studied used QUEST, a user-friendly, interactive, computer software program designed to engage the public in creating future scenarios up to the year 2040 and the Precede-Proceed Planning Framework, a planning model adopted from the field of Health Promotion. In combining these two tools, the goal was to first initiate a dialogue on what sustainability might look like in a regional context, with the use of QUEST and then consider the preliminary planning steps needed to actualize some of those ideas using the Precede-Proceed planning model. This two-step approach was applied in a workshop setting with some members of the Bowen Island community and the research revolved around describing and reflecting on the application of the process and its outcomes in the community. The purpose of this dialogue framework was to provide citizens of Bowen Island with a well-structured, theoretically sound means of generating positive discourse and decision making around issues of sustainability on Bowen Island. The application of the dialogue process had some promising outcomes. QUEST facilitated learning about some of the complex interactions between socio-economic and environmental aspects of how the Georgia Basin region functions. Learning about the consequences and tradeoffs of potential futures was a central theme in the research. This kind of learning helped to reinforce and expand people's thinking about sustainability. However, for a local island community, it was difficult to translate these regional ideas about desired futures into practical terms. Using the Precede-Proceed framework enabled participants to identify and prioritize potential strategies and articulate constructive objectives. The framework helped to create coherence in understanding what strategies should be focused on. With this clarity, some of the workshop participants were inspired to work together to implement their ideas. Although the results of this study indicate that using this kind of dialogue process had its benefits it mostly reinforced the need for more practical examples of policy and program planning process in this vain. Engaging citizens in these conversations makes it possible to incorporate their perspectives into wider public planning.

Abstract:
A contemporary view of health and health care has arisen, out of the broadened social understandings of the later half of this century, which recognizes the individual as a whole person (rather than a clinical object), and which recognizes the local community as the preferable locus of care. The community health center model has emerged as a response to this contemporary view. It is a community-specific model of health care delivery, health promotion, and community action. Its services cover a full range of primary health care needs (from social work to urgent care), utilizing a multi-disciplinary team approach. While the response of facility planning and programming to the contemporary view of health and health care has been explored to great depth over the past twenty five years, the response of architecture has not. The intent of this thesis was, therefore, to create an architectural design that may serve as a model of the multiservice community health center, and as a source of architectural ideas which respond to the contemporary view of health and health care. A rural site was selected as the most appropriate setting for a new purpose-built facility. The design solution specifically sought to countermand the alienation, stress, loss of sense of personal control, unfamiliarity, sterility, and institutional qualities of the common medical environment - particularly, from the experiential viewpoint of the client. The design also sought to stand on its own as a legitimate work of architecture. Towards these ends, the building was bound to the community via prominence, accessibility and familiarity in the activities of daily life. A concept of democratic space sought to extend the public realm and a sense of public ownership into the facility. A marketplace vocabulary and communitycontrolled space contributed towards this end. The building was bound to place via architectural expression and explorations of processional qualities; responding to the nature of its island place, to the forest environment, and to local vernacular architecture. The design sought to establish a relationship with nature, or natural order, via an interstitial relationship with the forest, the use of natural materials, a truthful structural expression, a presence of natural light, and, at the conceptual level, an interplay between order and aggregation. As a representation of health care architecture, the design sought to express the notion of a community of services, rather than that of an untouchable institution. It also sought to achieve all of this in accord with efficient functioning and way-finding, and to achieve it at costs comparable to existing facilities (if not less expensive), via strategic choices regarding systems and construction.

Abstract:
The equilibrium theory of island biogeography (MacArthur and Wilson 1967) gives little attention to the human forces that have contributed to shape the biota of archipelagos. Most of the studies that have been done to test the theory, however, concentrated mostly on natural forces and less on the ancient influences of sea-faring cultures on island biodiversity. Although many biologists have followed MacArthur and Wilson’s lead by charting the natural processes shaping the island biogeography of the midriff islands in the Sea of Cortés (Soulé and Sloan 1966; Case and Cody 1983), the cultural dispersal of native plants and animals across the gulf has hardly been taken into account in these pattern analyses of the region’s biota. Nevertheless, new opportunities have emerged. Analyses made possible by novel genetic tools can now be combined with recent revelations of oral history from Seri Indian seafarers who have frequented the midriff islands and who know of their ancestors’ activities on the islands. Archaeologists have found indigenous remains on San Esteban, Ángel de la Guarda, San Lorenzo Norte and Sur, and Tiburón, with dateable occupation sequences on San Esteban for a minimum of 350 years (Bowen 2000). We can now begin to reconcile data from cultural geography, genetics, and biogeography to track cultural dispersal with new precision. A cohesive but curious story has begun to emerge from this unlikely partnership of genetic analyses performed in laboratories and oral history documentation in the field: historic seafarers of this arid region have carried with them flora and fauna that became established on islands other than those accessible by natural routes of dispersal (Grismer 1994; Petren and Case 1996, 1997; Nabhan in press). This should come as no surprise to scientists who read beyond their own area of interest: similar cultural dispersal dynamics have been documented in Polynesia and Melanesia (McKeown 1978; Fisher 1997; Austin 1999) and in Central America and the Caribbean (Bennett 1992; Case 1996). Factoring indigenous cultural dispersal into island biogeography has led to very different views of biotic origins and migrations than those offered by a purely biological perspective.
