Animal learning has interested ecologists and psychologists for over a century. Mathematical models that explain how animals store and recall information have gained attention recently. Central to this work is statistical decision theory (SDT), which relates information uptake in animals to...

Devito, K.J., Smerdon, B.D., Mendoza, C.A.

[1] A fully coupled, integrated surface water/groundwater model was used to study hydrologic controls on lake-groundwater interaction in the subhumid, Boreal Plains of northern Alberta, Canada. Findings from a previous water budget study indicate that lakes on the outwash landscape capture...

Tyrannosauridae can be subdivided into two distinct subfamilies-the Albertosaurinae and the Tyrannosaurinae. Previously recognized subdivisions Aublysodontinae and Shanshanosaurinae are rejected because they are based on insufficient material and juvenile specimens. Our results are based upon a...

Brachmann, Cole G., Hik, David S., Hernandez Ramirez, Guillermo

Data files used for analyses in manuscript titled "Soil development limits alpine plant establishment in recently-deglaciated terrain". The original data was collected in 2016/2017 and analyzed to be included in MSc. thesis titled "Characteristics of alpine plants and soils along an elevational...

Source-receptor relationships for speciated atmospheric mercury measured at the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), Northwestern Ontario, Canada were investigated using various receptor-based approaches. The data used in this study include gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), mercury bound to fine...

Sperling, Felix A. H., Hamelin, Richard C., Murray, Brent W., James, Patrick M. A., Coltman, Dave W.

Spatial patterns of genetic variation in interacting species can identify shared features that are important to gene flow and can elucidate co-evolutionary relationships. We assessed concordance in spatial genetic variation between the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and one of its...

Creed, I.F., Sass, G.Z., Devito, K.J.

[1] We used metrics of surface water and groundwater connectivity as explanatory variables in nonparametric regression models to explain the spatial heterogeneity in trophic status of shallow lakes. The concentration of chlorophyll a (Chl a) was used as an indicator of trophic status and was...

Memory is critical to understanding animal movement but has proven challenging to study. Advances in animal tracking technology, theoretical movement models and cognitive sciences have facilitated research in each of these fields, but also created a need for synthetic examination of the linkages...
