Influence of forestry and conspecific attraction on habitat use and reproductive activity of the Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) in the western boreal forest: Implications for critical habitat identification
DownloadSpring 2017
Recovery strategies for species at risk are legally mandated in Canada and the Government of Canada must identify which habitat is important for a species and which activities result in its destruction. The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) has been designated as a threatened species in...

Information contained within a simple acoustic signal: The fee-bee song of the black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
DownloadFall 2015
Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) are a common North American songbird that produce numerous types of vocalizations with various functions. The vocal repertoire of black-capped chickadees have been the focus of numerous vocal production and perception studies. Black-capped chickadees...

Beres, Brian L., Cárcamo, Héctor A., Weaver, David K., Dosdall, Lloyd M., Evenden, Maya L., Hill, Bernard D., McKenzie, Ross H., Yang, Rong-Cai, Spaner, Dean M.
The wheat stem sawfly(Cephus cinctus Norton [Hymenoptera: Cephidae]) is a serious threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cereal grains in the northern Great Plains. Insecticides have proven ineffective for sawfly control and can be detrimental to beneficial insects. The management of...

Nutrient limitation of periphyton in agricultural streams: Implications for watershed management
DownloadSpring 2021
Freshwater streams are ecologically important as sources of habitat, unique biodiversity, and valued ecosystem services. Yet, stream health can be threatened by intensified nutrient loading derived from adjacent anthropogenic land-uses such as agricultural and municipal developments. Since algal...
