Fusarium root rot of canola (Brassica napus): Occurrence, pathogenicity and yield losses in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2024
Root rot is a soilborne disease of canola (Brassica napus) caused by a pathogen complex. Canola crops were surveyed in Alberta, Canada, in 2021 and 2022 to assess the composition and diversity of fungi associated with root rot in this region. Isolates were identified to genus and/or species based...

Mitigating the ‘Trial by Fire’: The Experiences of Residency Teachers Participating in a Post-Graduate, Pre-Service Teaching Residency Program
DownloadFall 2015
This is a case study of the experiences of five teachers who returned to university for an after degree diploma in effective teaching and learning in urban contexts. The ten month school based residency was facilitated by a partnership between a large school district and university. The residents...

School-based approaches to mitigate child health inequities in Canada: The Health Promoting Schools approach and equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility school practices
DownloadFall 2024
Childhood exposure to neighbourhood deprivation has been consistently associated with poor health behaviours, including unhealthy diets, sedentary behaviours, and poor mental health and wellbeing. These may result in health inequities that could present challenges to public health, especially in...

Soil fungi after pine beetle outbreak: Diagnosis of fungal community composition and treatment of outplanted seedlings with tailored soil inoculum
DownloadSpring 2019
Soil fungal communities play vital roles in boreal forests as key organisms that cycle nutrients, facilitate uptake of resources for mycorrhizal plants, and store carbon. Forest disturbances often result in shifts in soil fungal community composition, yet, it is unclear if these effects are...

Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in Alberta: species diversity, symbionts, and population structure
DownloadFall 2024
Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea), also known as sowbugs or woodlice, are one of the few groups of crustaceans that include members fully adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle. Sowbugs are readily transported by human activity, and many species have been introduced worldwide. Potential...

In recent years, automated bird song classification programs have been becoming more common among researchers as a way to study, track, and monitor birds. In our research, we tested the accuracy of one such program called BirdNET. We tested 225 recordings by uploading them to BirdNET and manually...

Fall 2023
The coexistence of numerous species despite competing for similar resources remains a central paradox within the field of ecology. Differentiation of species interactions with resources and their environment has been proposed as a mechanism by which species reduce competitive interactions, thus...
