Introduction: Imagine David Lewis, David Armstrong and Peter van Inwagen involved in a debate that starts with the hypothesis “If One is” and purports to deduce from it the conclusion “Then, chopped up by Being, it is many and unlimited in multitude”. Verity Harte’s groundbreaking and insightful...

A body composition model to estimate mammalian energy stores and metabolic rates from body mass and body length, with application to polar bears
Download2009-01-01
Derocher, Andrew E., Klanjscek, Tin, Molnár, Péter K., Lewis, Mark A., Obbard, Martyn E.
Many species experience large fluctuations in food availability and depend on energy from fat and protein stores for survival, reproduction and growth. Body condition and, more specifically, energy stores thus constitute key variables in the life history of many species. Several indices exist to...

Keyghobadi, N., Roland, J., Fownes, S.
We used mark-recapture methods to estimate the number of Parnssius smintheus (Papilionidae) butterflies moving among 20 alpine meadows separated by varying amounts of forest along the east slope of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. We combined generalized additive models and generalized...

The Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) framework is widely used to assess the suitability of roadway environments for cycling. Its main strength is the identification of infrastructure characteristics that meet the needs of different cyclist groups. The four levels of infrastructure ratings, LTS 1 to...

An NMR-based approach to the structural and functional investigation of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1
DownloadFall 2013
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is the predominant isoform in mammalian cells, and regulates intracellular pH and ion concentrations. NHE1 also interacts with numerous proteins and signalling pathways. Consequently, it has been found to influence cell volume, growth, differentiation, and...

Analyzing Network Connectivity by Cyclist Comfort: An Empirical Reappraisal of the Four Types of Cyclists Typology and Level of Traffic Stress Framework
DownloadFall 2019
North America is seeing a resurgence of interest in cycling both for recreation and as a transportation mode. Cycling is touted as a means to reduce traffic congestion and its GHG emissions and pollution, increase livability, and provide a remedy to inactivity and its related health problems....

Are boreal birds resilient to forest fragmentation? An experimental study of short-term community responses
Download1997
Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Machtans, C. S., Hannon, S. J.
Abstract: We studied the effect of habitat fragmentation on the richness, diversity, turnover, and abundance of bleeding bird communities in old, boreal mixed-wood forest by creating isolated and connected forest fragments of 1, 10, 40, and 100 ha. Connected fragments were linked by 100 m wide...

In machine learning and data mining, outliers—data points significantly differing from the majority—often pose challenges by introducing irrelevant information. Unsupervised methods are often used for detecting them as the information about outliers is unknown. Global-Local Outlier Scores based...

Birds of a feather do not always lek together: Genetic diversity and kinship structure of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Alberta
Download2010
Aldridge, C.L., Bush, K.L., Coltman, D.W., Carpenter, J.E., Paszowski, C.A., Boyce, M.S.
Endangered species are sensitive to the genetic effects of fragmentation, small population size, and inbreeding, so effective management requires a thorough understanding of their breeding systems and genetic diversity. The Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a lekking species that...

Characterization, Structure and Mechanism of Sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
DownloadFall 2015
A key enzyme in maintaining sulfide homeostasis is the membrane-associated flavoenzyme sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) found in nearly all domains of life (except plants). SQR maintains a critical equilibrium between sulfide (H2S, HS- and S2-) and elemental sulfur (S0), coupling the...
