Summary Safety Review - INTUNIV XR (guanfacine hydrochloride) - Assessing the Potential Risk of Raynaud's Phenomenon

A safety review was carried out to evaluate the potential risk of Raynaud's phenomenon in patients taking Intuniv XR. Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder of the blood vessels, mainly in the fingers and toes, where they episodically do not receive enough blood and oxygen. The resulting lack of blood and oxygen causes numbness and the skin will turn a pale or bluish colour. Most episodes of this phenomenon last about 15 minutes but in severe cases this can cause damage to the skin and muscle (through oxygen deprivation and tissue death). Health Canada started a review because other drugs used to treat ADHD contain warnings in their product safety information about the risk of Raynaud's phenomenon. The review aimed to determine whether there was enough evidence to include a similar stronger warning for Intuniv XR.

Advances in Distinguishing Groundwater Influenced by Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) from Natural Bitumen-Influenced Groundwaters

This study aimed to develop and improve upon analytical methods and sampling techniques for detecting oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) seepage from mining containments and discriminating any seepage from the natural bitumen background in groundwaters influenced by the Alberta McMurray formation. Two groups of monoaromatic acids were analyzed that showed significant enrichment in OSPW, while O2/O4 ratios and acid extractable organics (AEOs) did not. A secondary objective was to assess anthropogenically derived artificial sweeteners and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as potential tracers for OSPW.

Molt ecology and age determination of Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) in southern Yukon

The Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) breeds in boreal forest wetlands across North America, and winters in the southeastern USA. This species is listed under Canada’s Species at Risk Act as Special Concern due to population declines. For the study, 1220 Rusty Blackbirds were captured in spring and fall from 2005-2010 at three sites in southern Yukon Territory (Whitehorse, Teslin, Watson Lake) in order to investigate timing of migration, stopover and molt, and to develop methods for age determination. We recorded sex, weight, wing length, fat, body molt, molt of primary and secondary wing feathers, eye colour, and extent of skull ossification. We photographed each bird (head, underwing, upperparts), and collected a primary feather (P1) for stable isotope analysis in order to determine breeding origin. Each bird was fitted with an aluminium band and a single colour band to indicate banding site. This dataset includes 717 individual Rusty Blackbirds captured at the Whitehorse Landfill site (60.751° -135.157°) by Canadian Wildlife Service personnel, plus 63 recaptures involving 57 of those 717 individuals. The other birds in the study (not included here) were captured in Teslin and Watson Lake, YT, by the Society of Yukon Bird Observatories http://www.yukonbirdobservatories.org/ . Basic banding data for all banded birds are also held by the Bird Banding Lab of Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/bird-banding.html

Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) Yukon roadside night surveys 2014-2015

We conducted a species-specific survey for Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) near the northwestern limit of the species’ breeding distribution, in order to investigate relative abundance and also to determine whether a species-specific survey protocol being established for Canada would be appropriate in the north. Activity of Common Nighthawk was documented using 10-stop to 20-stop roadside surveys conducted during the night in northern British Columbia and southern and central Yukon in 2014-15, mostly along established North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) routes. We used a total of 19 roadside survey routes, including 14 standardized routes which used the first 20 odd-numbered stops of established BBS routes and were conducted in both 2014 and 2015. The other five routes included one BBS-based route which was completed only partially in 2014 but completely in 2015; one BBS-based route where non-standard stops were surveyed, run only in 2014; and three routes with 10-20 stops which were selected non-randomly and run in both years. Two of the standard routes were also run a second time in the 2014 season. Overall, 738 point counts were conducted on 19 routes over two years. Each survey started one hour before sunset; survey stops were 1.6 km apart, and the count at each stop was 6 minutes long.

Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) daily and seasonal activity in southern Yukon

We documented seasonal and daily activity patterns of Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) near Whitehorse, Yukon, to evaluate the appropriateness at higher latitudes of national survey protocols for this species. Nighthawk vocalizations and audible aerial displays were detected at four locations using automated sound recording units (SM2+ Song Meters, Wildlife Acoustics) from June to August 2013-2014. 

We used two 5-minute recording segments for each hour, spaced 30 minutes apart, from at least one hour before sunset to at least one hour after sunrise. In 2013, we made a 5-minute recording every 30 minutes, while in 2014 we made a one-hour recording every hour and extracted two 5-minute segments from each recording for analysis.

We developed a “recognizer” using Songscope software to automatically scan the 5-minute recording segments and detect “peent” calls. If at least one peent call was detected on a segment, then the spectrogram of that segment was visually scanned by a technician who counted occurrences of the “boom” sound, an audible flight display that is thought to be indicative of nesting territory. For every recording segment with peent calls detected, the previous and subsequent segments were also visually scanned by the technician and booms counted, even if no peent calls were detected by the Songscope recognizer on those recording segments. If the recognizer did not detect peent calls at a site for several nights, we did not scan subsequent recordings from that site. In total, 7296 5-minute recording segments were analysed.

Determinants of mating success in a lek-mating species

1.	Leks are male-biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. 
2.	One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another.
3.	When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species it is often exhibited by females, but some studies have also demonstrated the presence of male mate choice. 
4.	We investigate mate choice in the lek forming European woodwasp, Sirex noctilio. 
5.	We determine the importance of age and size as predictors of mating success. 
6.	We demonstrate that mating is not random and that male and female traits affect mating success. 
7.	Age plays an important role in mating success in both males and females with older males mating more and younger females being more attractive and more receptive to mating.
8.	Relative male size seems to play a role in mating success with males being more successful when attempting to mate with females that are larger than them.

Interpolated Census of Agriculture by Watershed

The Census of Agriculture is disseminated by Statistics Canada's standard geographic units (boundaries). Since these census units do not reflect or correspond with biophysical landscape units (such as ecological regions, soil landscapes or drainage areas), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in collaboration with Statistics Canada's Agriculture Division, have developed a process for interpolating (reallocating or proportioning) Census of Agriculture information from census polygon-based units to biophysical polygon-based units.  
  
  In the “Interpolated census of agriculture”, suppression confidentiality procedures were applied by Statistics Canada to the custom tabulations to prevent the possibility of associating statistical data with any specific identifiable agricultural operation or individual. Confidentiality flags are denoted where "-1" appears in data cell. This indicates information has been suppressed by Statistics Canada to protect confidentiality. Null values/cells simply indicate no data is reported.

Count of Mean Weekly Best-Quality Maximum-NDVI

Each pixel value corresponds to the actual number (count) of valid Best-quality Max-NDVI values used to calculate the mean weekly values for that pixel. Since 2020, the maximum number of possible observations used to create the Mean Best-Quality Max-NDVI for the 2000-2014 period is n=20. However, because data quality varies both temporally and geographically (e.g. cloud cover and snow cover in spring; cloud near large water bodies all year), the actual number (count) of observations used to create baselines can vary significantly for any given week and year.
