Factors driving range expansion of white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, in the boreal forest of northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2011
A large suite of species, across numerous taxa, are expanding their geographic ranges, with potential impacts on species, communities and ecosystems. This has increased interest in understanding the mechanisms driving range change and anticipating future changes in species’ distributions....

Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis) response to energy development and inclement weather in southern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2021
Growing global energy demand is projected to increase by nearly 30% in coming decades. As such, wildlife is increasingly required to persist in altered landscapes resulting from energy-related changes and development. In breeding birds, anthropogenic structures are often used as perches and, in...

Fire regimes at the transition between mixedwood and coniferous boreal forest in northwestern Quebec.
Download2004
Flannigan, M., Kafka, V., Gauthier, S., Bergeron, Y.
Fire history was reconstructed for an area of 15 000 km2 located in the transition zone between the mixed and coniferous forests in Quebec's southern boreal forest. We used aerial photographs, archives, and dendroecological data (315 sites) to reconstruct a stand initiation map for the area. The...

Fall 2015
Specialist predators with a limited diet may be less adaptable to environmental change than generalists, which consume a diversity of prey. As the climate changes, ecological homogenization is occurring, where generalist species outcompete specialists, reducing ecosystem complexity. In Arctic...

Forest Tree Population Response to Climate Variability and Climate Change: Implications for Reforestation
DownloadFall 2022
This dissertation aims to quantify the sensitivity and adaptive capacity of forest tree species to climate change in Canada and North America, with applications of guiding sustainable forest management through case studies focusing on Alberta. The general idea is that management interventions...

Gender-differentiated Innovations in Response to Climate Change: Evidence from Smallholder Agriculture in 4 countries in East Africa
DownloadSpring 2014
We investigate gender differentiated innovations regarding maize production among households in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We find that innovation is positively influenced by access to information assets and on farm water, amount of land, and number of income sources, with Kenya and...
