Ciarniello, L. M., Heard, D. C., Boyce, M. S., Seip, D. R.
The purpose of our study is to show how ecologists' interpretation of habitat selection by grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) is altered by the scale of observation and also how management questions would be best addressed using predetermined scales of analysis. Using resource selection functions (RSF)...

Human-wildlife conflicts are a global conservation challenge. Reserves and protected areas usually do not adequately provide for the space needs of large carnivores, resulting in overlap between carnivore home ranges and private lands. Private lands often can provide valuable habitats, but...

A major side-effect of industrial activity is the associated linear-feature footprint and increase in recreational access. Alberta’s threatened grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) populations overlap with a multitude of different potential forms of human disturbance, including human recreational...

Individual and Seasonal Variation in Grizzly Bear Selection for a Railway and other Linear Features in Banff National Park, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Mortality caused by collisions with trains affects numerous species globally and has increased recently to threaten the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population protected in Banff and Yoho National Parks, Canada. Although train collisions are the ultimate cause of mortality, the more proximate...

Peacock, Stephanie J., Holt, Carrie A.
The distribution of individuals among populations and in space may contribute to their resilience under environmental variability. Changes in distribution may indicate the loss of genetically distinct subpopulations, the deterioration of habitat capacity, or both. The distribution of Pacific...

Mitigating the Effects of Human Activity on Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) in Southwestern Alberta.
DownloadSpring 2015
Anthropogenic habitat loss and alteration, as well as human-caused mortalities associated with increasing access, threaten grizzly bear populations across much of their North American range. This research investigates strategies for mitigating the negative effects of human activities on grizzly...

Urbanization is viewed as a major threat to global biodiversity because of its role in the loss and fragmentation of low-lying, productive habitats associated with coastal plains and river valleys. My study examines the effects of urbanization on the movements and distribution of songbirds in...

West-central, Alberta is subject to a growing number of resource extraction activities such as forestry that change ecosystem components and their structure. This area is important for the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) population, which is considered to be a threatened species in Alberta...

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are an apex predator of the Arctic marine food web and vulnerable to changes in sea ice because various aspects of their existence depend on this dynamic platform. Arctic sea ice extent and thickness have declined, and been particularly low since the first record...
