Factors influencing bee pollinator bycatch in cutworm and armyworm moth (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) monitoring programs in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2019
Unintentional bycatch of bee pollinators in monitoring traps that target moth pests occurs in many agroecosystems. Capture of bees can have a substantial effect on the efficiency of monitoring systems and has the potential to negatively impact bee biodiversity and pollination services for both...

Isotopic and Geochemical Tracers for Fingerprinting Process-Affected Waters in the Oil Sands Industry: A Pilot Study
Download2011-04-04
Jasechko, K., Gibson, J.J., Moncur, M., Birks, S.J., Tattrie, S., Yi, Y., Eby, P., Richardson, K.
A pilot study was conducted by Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures during 2009 and 2010 to assess potential for labelling process-affected water from oil sands operations using a suite of isotopic and geochemical tracers, including inorganic and organic compounds in water. The study was...
