From December 1964 to April 1965 a survey of the marine algae of the Atlantic coast of Halifax County, Nova Scotia was carried out. Within this region 11 collecting stations were established, including sites from the exposed outer coast to the protected area of Halifax Harbour. One hundred and one species were identified: 24 from the Chlorophyceae, 36 from the Phaeophyceae, and 41 from the Rhodophyceae. Seventeen species are new records for Nova Scotia. During the winter months active vegetative and reproductive development was observed. These results have been compared with those obtained previously from this area as well as with results of similar studies made in Massachusetts and Newfoundland–Labrador.

The algal flora at two selected sites on the Digby Neck Peninsula, Bay of Fundy, was examined at monthly intervals for a year. One hundred and eighty-seven species and varieties were recorded; of these 76 are newly recorded for the Bay of Fundy and 11 are new records for North America. A taxonomic listing, inclusive of reproductive structures found during the year, is given. Seasonal changes and vertical migration of the algae are discussed.

Collections were made from various sites in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island for small green benthic marine algae, filamentous species associated with other plants, animals, wood, shells, or stones. Identifications were based on observations in situ and material isolated into culture. Twenty species, distributed in 14 genera, were identified; six are new records for eastern Canada and a seventh species is a new record for the Maritime provinces.

Twenty-nine species of Phaeophyceae are described, and 25 of these are new records for Nova Scotia. Six species are new to North America: Feldmania irregularis (Kützing) Hamel, Mikrosyphar polysiphonia Kuckuck, Phloeospora curta (Foslie) Jaasund, Sphacelaria saxatilis (Kuckuck) Sauvageau, Streblonema immersum Levring?, and S. tenuissimum Hauck?.

Thirty-four species of Rhodophyceae are described and 25 of these are new records for Nova Scotia. A large number of these species were collected either in the sublittoral area, to a depth of 38 m, or in warm-water, salt-marsh habitats.

Collections made in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru provide new data on the geographical distribution of 13 marine fungi of the Ascomycetes and Deuteromycetes. The following species are new records for South America: Chadefaudia corallinarum (on Halimeda); Corollospora marítima, C. trifurcata and Halosphaeria salina (the last 3 spp. as ascospores in sea foam); Keissleriella blepharospora (in Rhizophora); Mycosphaerella pneumatophorae, Rhabdospora avicenniae (both in Avicennia). Conocarpus erectus is a new host for Halosphaeria quadricornuta and Lulworthia sp. The marine fungal flora of Colombia appears to agree with that of Florida and the Atlantic coast of Mexico, containing species typical for tropical and subtropical waters.

Twenty-one additional species new or rare to Nova Scotia are reported. Of these, 12 belong to the Rhodophyceae, 6 to the Phaeophyceae, 1 to the Chlorophyceae, and 2 to the Xanthophyceae. Acrochaetium porphyrae and Scytosiphon dotyi, two species previously known only from the west coast of North America, are recorded for the first time from the Atlantic coast of that continent. Porphyrodiscus simulons and Entonema polycladum, known from Europe, are also recorded for the first time in North America.

The Lake Rossignol Wilderness Area is a 4100 ha protected area in Queens County, Nova Scotia. In July, 2006, the Protected Areas Branch of Nova Scotia Environment invited 34 scientists, students and volunteers to conduct a four day bioblitz of this little studied protected area. Surveys were conducted for reptiles, fish, vascular plants, fungi, lichens and bryophytes. Physical and biological attributes of peatlands and dendrochronological studies were also conducted. A total of 294 species were identified during the survey, 285 of which are new records for the Wilderness Area. Dendrochronological analysis suggests trees at the site have been growing in place for at least the last 350 years.Keywords: Lake Rossignol Wilderness Area, bioblitz

To develop effective protected area policies, scholars and practitioners must better understand the mechanisms through which protected areas affect social and environmental outcomes. With strong evidence about mechanisms, the key elements of success can be strengthened, and the key elements of failure can be eliminated or repaired. Unfortunately, empirical evidence about these mechanisms is limited, and little guidance for quantifying them exists. This essay assesses what mechanisms have been hypothesized, what empirical evidence exists for their relative contributions and what advances have been made in the past decade for estimating mechanism causal effects from non-experimental data. The essay concludes with a proposed agenda for building an evidence base about protected area mechanisms.
