Chickadee behavioural response to varying threat levels of heterospecific and conspecific calls
DownloadFall 2015
Chickadees produce many vocalizations, including the chick-a-dee call that they use as a mobbing call in the presence of predators. Previous research has shown that chickadees produce more D notes in their mobbing calls in response to high-threat predators compared to low-threat predators, and...

Canada’s boreal forest is the breeding ground for some 288 species of resident and migratory birds. Approximately 65% of the species that are currently of highest conservation priority in the boreal region are associated with wetlands and riparian areas. Although estimates vary with scale and...

The Canadian boreal forest is vital breeding habitat for North American songbirds. Extensive anthropogenic disturbances within this biome are therefore of conservation concern. Using unharvested stands as controls, I examined the effects of variable retention management (VRM) relative to...

Since the mid-2000’s there has been a major shift in molecular ecology to the use of genomic methodologies. These methods utilize genome-wide sampling of genetic variation and allow for consideration of questions that cannot be answered with a handful of microsatellite markers or a few gene...

Dispossession and Accumulation in an Ethnic Minority Border Region: The Kazakh Project in Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, China
DownloadFall 2023
This study examines Altay Prefecture, one of China’s border regions inhabited by ethnic Kazakhs, as a case to elucidate how the Chinese state has achieved dispossession and accumulation through the management of ethnicity and culture in an ethnic minority region. Within the framework of a case...

Disturbance has lasting effects on functional traits and diversity of grassland plant communities
Download2022-01-01
Ellen A Smith, Emily M Holden, Charlotte Brown, James F Cahill Jr
Background Localized disturbances within grasslands alter biological properties and may shift species composition. For example, rare species in established communities may become dominant in successional communities if they exhibit traits well-suited to disturbance conditions. Although the idea...
