Spatial and Temporal Variations in Tree Growth, Mortality, and Biodiversity in Alberta Forests
DownloadSpring 2014
Understanding the spatial and temporal variation of tree demographic rates and biodiversity is essential for predicting the dynamics of forest ecosystems and their responses to changing environments. This thesis contributes to that understanding through modeling the long-term change in tree...

Temperature Extremes Exposure and Children’s Health: Extreme Heat- and Cold-Related Impacts in Edmonton, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2024
In the current context of escalating climate change effects on public health, Canada's distinctive geographic position causes it to warm at double the global average rate. This phenomenon leads to potentially heightened health risks for its residents through direct and indirect mechanisms....

Temperature-dependent Allee effects in a stage-structured model for Bythotrephes establishment
Download2011-01-01
Young, J. D., Yan, N. D., Lewis, Mark A., Wittmann, M. J.
Whether the invasive freshwater cladoceran Bythotrephes longimanus can establish after introduction into a water body depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Among these, water temperature is important because both development rates and mode of reproduction (parthenogenetic or sexual) in...

Climate change is currently a central problem in ecology, with far-reaching effects on species that may be diffcult to quantify. Ectothermic species which rely on environmental cues to complete successive stages of their life history are especially sensitive to temperature changes and so are good...
