Permineralized Fruits and Seeds from the Princeton Chert (Middle Eocene) of British Columbia: Araceae.
Download1988
Cevallos-Ferriz, S., Stockey, R.A.
Some of the most conspicuous fruit and seed remains from the Middle Eocene Princeton chert locality (Allenby Formation) are assignable to the Araceae. Several thousand campylotropous, reniform, spiny seeds 2.5-3.2 mm long x 1.8-2.3 mm wide have been found dispersed in the chert. Two fruits, each...

Definition and interpretation of fact in Canadian Aboriginal title litigation: A comment on Delgamuukw
Download1994
Asch, Michael, Bell, Catherine
Professors Asch and Bell argue that Aboriginal title litigation presents a unique set of evidentiary problems both for Aboriginal plaintiffs and the courts. The elements of proof of title are themselves imbued with an ethnocentrism which serves to ignore Aboriginal systems of land ownership and...

Lepage, B. A., Currah, R. S., Stockey, R. A.
The middle Eocene Princeton chert locality in southern British Columbia, Canada, contains one of the best-preserved permineralized Tertiary floral assemblages known in North America. The quality of pres- ervation of the vascular plant and fungal remains is exquisite because anatomical and...

Landslides in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments, Morkill River valley, British Columbia
Download2001
Abstract: Slopes in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments in the Morkill River valley in the Canadian Rocky Mountains stand at up to 70 degrees. Based on field and laboratory observations it appears that a contributing factor to instability is the softening of the soils by frost action and...

Cyathea cranhamii sp. nov. (Cyatheaceae), Anatomically Preserved Tree Fern Sori from the Lower Cretaceous of Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Download2003
Stockey, Ruth A., Rothwell, Gar W., Smith, Selena Y.
Permineralized cyatheaceous sori occur among remains of conifers, fungi, and other plants in newly discovered calcareous concretions from Early Cretaceous (Barremian) marine sediments of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Sori are superficially attached in two rows to narrow pinnules and...

Potential effects of climate change on tree species and ecosystem distribution in British Columbia
Download2006
A new ecosystem-based climate envelope modeling approach was applied to assess potential climate change impacts on forest communities and tree species. Four orthogonal canonical discriminant functions were used to describe the realized climate space for British Columbia's ecosystems and to model...

Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

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)...
