This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Integrating ecological and social approaches for promoting the conservation of carnivores in a human-dominated landscape of southern Chile
DownloadFall 2015
significantly affected by native forest, road density and the presence of dogs (Canis familiaris). The magnitude of these effects were also influenced by the time of day and spatial scale. The positive effect of native forest on occupancy probability was stronger during the night for the Darwin's fox
Mammalian carnivores inhabiting human-dominated landscapes may face reduced and heterogeneous distributions of feeding resources while being more exposed to humans and introduced carnivores. Therefore, sustainable landscape planning intended to conserve carnivores in human-dominated landscapes
requires the use of a multi-dimensional approach that integrates different conceptual and methodological components, such as: 1) habitat and prey selection patterns of carnivores at different spatio-temporal scales; 2) habitat selection models including fine-grain information of habitat structure; and 3
