Spring 2013
Industrial development is transforming Alberta's landscapes, with largely unquantified effects on wildlife species. Open-pit mining is occurring on vast expanses, most notably for bitumen but also extensively for coal in a rich seam that traverses the province. Major concerns have developed over...

Lilles, E.B., Purdy, B.G., Chang, S.X., Macdonald, S.E.
We examined height and basal area growth over time for trembling aspen and white spruce in plots along a salinity gradient at six naturally saline sites in northern Alberta, as a benchmark for forest productivity on reclaimed saline sites. We measured root distributions and analyzed foliage for...

Habitat and forage selection of moose in the aspen-dominated boreal forest, central Alberta
Download1992
Forage and habitat selection of tame moose (Alces alces) in a 65 ha enclosure were studied for an annual cycle. Although the staple winter foods were woody twigs, moose consumed large amounts of leaf litter and bark under some environmental conditions. Foliage dominated the diet following leaf...

Habitat Use in Undisturbed Forest and the Effect of Variable Retention Harvesting on Pollinator Assemblages (Apoidea, Syrphidae) in the Boreal Forest of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2019
While pollination in agricultural areas has been well studied, pollinators in forests have received much less attention, particularly in the boreal forest. Bees, especially native bees, and hoverflies are the two most important groups of pollinators providing crucial ecological and economical...

The western toad (Anaxyrus boreas, formerly Bufo boreas) is one of many amphibian species considered to be at risk of extinction (COSEWIC status is Special Concern). I examined habitat use patterns of the western toad using several methods to gain a better understanding of its habitat...
