An assessment of the adequacy of baseline data relevant to the documentation and evaluation of the impacts of oil sands developments on large mammals in the AOSERP study area
Download1978
Thompson, D. C., Ealey, D. M., McCourt, K. H.
Three of the tenets upon which the Canada-Alberta agreement for the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) is founded are: 1. Canada and Alberta recognize the necessity of improving the scientific understanding of the effects of the oil sands development on human and natural...

Eaton, B.R., Fisher, J.T., McKenna, G.T., Pollard, J.
Oil sands companies are required to reclaim the land that has been disturbed during their operations to self-sustaining, locally common boreal forest. An important facet of the reclaimed landscape is support of locally-relevant wildlife communities. Wildlife communities are an important part of...

Hilchie, G. J., Ealey, D. M., Hannon, S.
A review of the available literature was conducted on obligatory insectivorous animals expected or known to occur in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area. Several biologists involved in studies of the area were contacted. Distribution, abundance in the AOSERP study...

Application of stratified random census procedures to the 1976 aerial moose census in the AOSERP study area
Download1978
This report gives the first-year interim results of an ongoing project which will be completed in 1978. The project is one of a series to establish the baseline states of the terrestrial fauna in the AOSERP study area. The purpose of this project is to determine the population size of moose in...

Diet and environment shape fecal bacterial microbiota composition and enteric pathogen load of grizzly bears
Download2011-01-01
Northrup, Joseph M., Cristescu, Bogdan, Schwab, Clarissa, Stenhouse, Gordon B., Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Diet and environment impact the composition of mammalian intestinal microbiota; dietary or health disturbances trigger alterations in intestinal microbiota composition and render the host susceptible to enteric pathogens. To date no long term monitoring data exist on the fecal...

Distribution, abundance and habitat associations of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters in the AOSERP study area, Northeastern Alberta
Download1979
A synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters is presented. Field studies conducted during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts in snow. A total of 249 active beaver lodges were seen on 2550 km of...
