The Density of Beaver, Castor canadensis, Activities along Camrose Creek, Alberta, within Differing Habitats and Management Intensity Levels
Download2008-10-01
Loates, Bethany M., Hvenegaard, Glen T.
Beaver (Castor canadensis) occupy a variety of habitats in North America, but prefer Aspen (Populus trernuloides) and willow (Salix spp.) for food and construction materials. Beaver landforms, such as dams, can cause many problems for landowners, resulting in varied management efforts, such as...

Reliable population density estimates are critical for ecological research and species management but can be difficult to obtain. Sampling methods like noninvasive genetic sampling and remote camera traps, combined with appropriate statistical models, provide opportunities to estimate density...

Factors Influencing Bioacoustically Derived Arrival Timing of Three Migrant Bird Species in the Western Boreal Forest
DownloadFall 2021
Habitat alteration is the leading cause of bird population declines globally. Therefore, understanding the processes influencing habitat selection are important for the identification and protection of important areas for birds. Long-distance migrant birds are particularly vulnerable and are...

What does a detection mean? Spatial and behavioural context improves the use of passive acoustic monitoring for the conservation of a wide-ranging bird
DownloadFall 2021
The culture of ecology is shifting towards collaborative, integrative approaches that use ‘big data’ to solve big problems. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has the potential to play a role in this new paradigm because it uses in-situ autonomous recording units (ARUs) to collect a permanent...

This thesis investigates the experimental mechanical behavior of polymeric foams, specifically studying the effects of microstructural features (pore size and wall thickness), foam density, and strain-rate-dependency on their stress-strain, lateral-axial strain, and failure. This thesis explores...
