A burning question: The spatial response of woodland caribou to wildfire in northeastern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2020
The Canadian Federal Recovery Strategy for woodland caribou classifies areas burned by wildfire in the last 40 years as disturbed habitat for woodland caribou. This delineation of fire disturbance has major economic and social implications across Canada. Caribou have been shown to avoid burned...

Species invasions are increasing worldwide and are impacting populations, communities, and ecosystems. Non-native species that are ecosystem engineers, such as earthworms, may be particularly likely to have large impacts due to their ability to modify both biological and physical characteristics...

Predation by cougars (Puma concolor) variously can structure ecosystems and preserve biodiversity, engender conflict where livestock and pets are killed, and even drive prey populations to extinction. Effective management requires a firm grasp of the ecological drivers of predation, but these...

Description of new species of Osteostraci from the Man On The Hill locality, Northwest Territories, Canada, with consideration of the phylogenetic and biogeographic significance of the new taxa
DownloadFall 2011
The Lochkovian (Lower Devonian) Man on the Hill (MOTH ) locality, Northwest Territories, Canada, is a Konservat-Lagerstätte, where articulated early vertebrate remains are found. Among the early vertebrates preserved at the MOTH locality are the Osteostraci. Many specimens of osteostracan have...

Development of a GIS Water Table Visualization Tool (WTVT) for Determining Water Table Position in Heterogeneous Landscapes in the Boreal Plains Ecozone, Alberta
DownloadFall 2015
The Boreal Plain is currently undergoing an unprecedented rate of land use change from oil and gas extraction as well as forestry. This change needs to be managed responsibly to ensure the long term sustainability of the region, both ecologically and economically. As part of this understanding...

Early late Paleocene mammals from the Roche Percée local fauna, southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The occurrence of vertebrate fossils from the Ravenscrag Formation near Roche Percée, southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada, documents the presence of a large and diverse assemblage of early late Paleocene (approximately 58 million years) mammals. Previous studies of the Roche Percée localities have...

Threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have experienced large range recessions and population declines across much of Canada’s boreal forest in the last century and have become a major focus of conservation efforts in the region. Habitat management strategies for woodland caribou...
