Five new species and one new genus of the subfamily Harpirhynchinae (Acariformes: Harpirhynchidae) are described from birds in Canada: Harpyrhynchoides heatherae sp. nov. from Junco hyemalis (Passeriformes: Emberizidae), H. botaurus sp. nov. from Botaurus lentiginosus (Pelecaniformes: Ardeidae), H. phalaropus sp. nov. from Phalaropus lobatus (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae), Neharpyrhynchus loxia sp. nov. from Loxia curvirostra (Passeriformes: Fringillidae), and Fainharpirhynchus contopus gen. nov., sp. nov. from Contopus cooperi (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae). Additionally, 3 species were recorded in Canada (Manitoba) for the first time: Harpyrhynchoides tracheatus (Fritsch, 1954) from Buteo jamaicensis (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) (new host), H. modestus (Fain, 1976) from Columba livia (Columbiformes: Columbidae) (new host), and Neharpyrhynchus pilirostris (Berlese et Trouessart, 1889) from Passer domesticus (Passeriformes: Passeridae).
The aim of this study was to identify empirical relationships among 12 water chemistry parameters, microcystins, and coliform bacteria at four beaches in Lake Winnipeg, Canada. While microcystin fluctuations were not synchronized among the different sites, concentrations were marginally correlated with concurrent nitrate levels at individual sites, but lagged more significantly behind soluble inorganic phosphorus, and inversely behind the nitrate-N/soluble phosphorus ratio (NPR). Microcystins were also inversely correlated with copper, which was used as an algaecide in the lake. Total coliform bacterial counts (TC) were significantly greater at times of increased turbidity, temperature, and higher inorganic phosphate and dissolved organic matter. TC were also inversely correlated with NPR.
