Cette collection fait maintenant partie du patrimoine, elle n'est plus maintenue. Elle pourrait ne pas respecter les normes actuelles du gouvernement. Les utilisateurs de l'Atlas du Canada à l'échelle nationale de 1/5 000 000 (publication du mai 2017) devraient envisager l'utilisation du nouveau produit CanVec. La série de Données de l'Atlas du Canada à l'échelle nationale de 1/5 000 000 comprend des jeux de données sur les limites, les côtes, les îles, les noms de lieux, les chemins de fer, les rivières, les routes, les traversiers et les étendues d'eau qui ont été compilés de manière à être utilisés dans des cartes à moyenne échelle (1/5 000 000 à 1/15 000 000) de l'atlas. Ces jeux de données ont été intégrés de sorte que leurs positions relatives soient correctes du point de vue cartographique. Toutes les données à l'extérieur du Canada comprises dans ces jeux de données s'y retrouvent strictement pour avoir le contexte global des données. This collection is a legacy product that is no longer maintained. It may not meet current government standards. Users of Atlas of Canada National Scale Data 1:5,000,000 (release of May 2017) should plan to make the transition towards the new CanVec product. The Atlas of Canada National Scale Data 1:5,000,000 Series consists of boundary, coast, island, place name, railway, river, road, road ferry and waterbody data sets that were compiled to be used for atlas medium scale (1:5,000,000 to 1:15,000,000) mapping. These data sets have been integrated so that their relative positions are cartographically correct. Any data outside of Canada included in the data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data.

1. Ballast water has been identified as a leading vector for introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS). Recently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) implemented management standards – D-2 – where all large, commercial ships trading internationally are required to adopt an approved treatment system using technologies such as ultraviolet radiation or chlorination. However, current management regulations are based only on the total abundance of viable taxa transported (i.e., total propagule pressure), largely ignoring species richness (i.e., colonization pressure).2. To determine the efficacy of chlorine treatment in reducing invasion risks and changes in transported biological communities inside ballast tanks, we used DNA metabarcoding-based approaches to estimate colonization pressure (here, the number of species/Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) introduced) and relative propagule pressure (relative abundance of each species/OTU) of zooplankton communities in control and chlorine treated tanks during four transatlantic voyages. 3. Our study demonstrated that transport itself did not significantly reduce colonization pressure of zooplankton species, nor did chlorine treatment. Chlorine treatment altered community structure by reducing relative propagule pressure of some taxa such as Mollusca and Rotifera, while increasing relative propagule pressure of some Oligohymenophorea and Copepoda species.4. Synthesis and applications. Chlorine treatment may not reduce invasion risks as much as previously thought. Reduction in total propagule pressure does not mean reduction in abundance of all species equally. While some taxa might experience drastically reduced abundance, others might not change at all or increase due to hatching from dormant stages initiated by chlorine exposure. Therefore, management strategies should consider changes in total propagule pressure and colonization pressure when forecasting risk of new invasions. We therefore recommend adopting new approaches, such as DNA metabarcoding-based methods, to assess the whole biodiversity discharged from ballast water. As species responses to chlorine treatment are variable and affected by concentration, we also recommend a combination of different technologies to reduce introduction risks of aquatic organisms.

The SHS is conducted annually in the ten provinces. Starting with SHS 2015, the survey is conducted every two years in the three territorial capitals (Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit). The SHS underwent a major redesign in 2010. The new methodology combines a questionnaire with recall periods based on the type of expenditure (last month, last 3 months, last 12 months or last payment) and a daily expenditure diary that a sub-sample of households is selected to complete for a two-week period following the interview. Also, data on income and income taxes now come mainly from the T1 (Individual Tax Return) administrative data files from the Canada Revenue Agency. Finally, collection is carried out on a continuous monthly basis from January to December from a sample of households distributed over twelve monthly collection cycles. Although the expenditure data collected since 2010 are similar to those of previous years, the changes to data collection, processing and estimation methods have created breaks in the data series. As a result, users are advised not to compare SHS data from 2010 onward with data prior to 2010, unless otherwise noted. Notes: The household income used for imputation is taken from the personal income tax data and equals the sum of the incomes of all household members aged 16 and over on December 31st of the calendar year preceding the survey.;

<b>Abstract</b><br/><p>Dinoflagellates possess many unique cellular characteristics with unresolved evolutionary histories including nuclei with greatly expanded genomes and chromatin packaged using histone-like proteins and dinoflagellate-viral nucleoproteins instead of histones, highly reduced mitochondrial genomes with extensive RNA editing, a mix of photosynthetic and cryptic secondary plastids, and tertiary plastids. Resolving the evolutionary origin of these traits requires understanding their ancestral states and early intermediates. Several deep-branching dinoflagellate lineages are good candidates for such reconstruction, however they tend to be delicate and environmentally sparse, so such analyses are not always simple. Here, we employ transcriptome sequencing from manually-isolated and microscopically documented cells to resolve the placement of two cells of one such genus, <i>Abedinium</i>,<i> </i>collected by ROV in deep waters off the coast of Monterey Bay. One cell corresponds to the only described species, <i>A. dasypus</i>, while the second cell is distinct and formally described as<i> Abedinium folium, </i>sp. nov. <i>Abedinium</i> has classically been assigned to the deep-branching dinoflagellates subgroup Noctilucea, which is weakly supported by phylogenetic analyses of the single characterized gene from any member of the genus, small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA). However, a phylogenetic analysis based on 221 proteins from the transcriptome places <i>Abedinium </i>in a distinct lineage, separate from and basal to the Noctilucea and the rest of the core dinoflagellates. The transcriptome also contains evidence of a cryptic plastid functioning in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, iron-sulfur clusters, and heme, a mitochondrial genome with all three expected protein-coding genes (<i>cob</i>, <i>cox1</i>, and cox3), and the presence of some but not all dinoflagellate-specific chromatin packaging proteins.</p>
