Survey, host preference and infectivity of Phasmarhabditis californica (Family: Rhabditidae) on pest slugs
DownloadFall 2023
Patuwatha Withanage, Dayani B. M.
Certain slug species are considered agricultural and horticultural pests worldwide. Nematodes offer a potential solution as biocontrol agents in controlling slug populations due to their natural associations with terrestrial gastropods. In some cases, they provide higher specificity and more...

Systematics and palaeobiology of the crested hadrosaurine Saurolophus from Canada and Mongolia
DownloadFall 2011
Reappraisal of Saurolophus confirms Saurolophus osborni and Saurolophus angustirostris as distinct species. Synapomorphies of Saurolophus include a spike-like pseudonarial crest formed by the nasals, frontals, and prefrontals; tripartite frontals with anteroventral and posterodorsal extensions...

The biology and characterization of NOD-like receptors in goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) macrophages exposed to bacterial pathogens
DownloadSpring 2017
The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is important for the initiation of the host defense against pathogens. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of PRRs that primarily detect the cytosolic PAMPs of the pathogens. The NLRs have...

The ecology of a re-established cougar (Puma concolor) population in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan
DownloadFall 2010
Cougars (Puma concolor) have recently begun to reclaim former range and also are expanding into new territory. The Cypress Hills of southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan now hosts the most eastern confirmed breeding population of cougars in Canada. However, with the return of cougars come...

The Influence of a Railway on Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) in Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks
DownloadSpring 2019
Linear features such as roads and railways threaten wildlife directly through collisions with vehicles. Although the adverse effects of roads on wildlife have been extensively studied resulting in widespread mitigation measures (e.g. fencing and highway crossing structures), far less attention...

The Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Evolution of Thescelosauridae (Ornithischia) from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Thescelosauridae is a basal neornithischian dinosaur clade that flourished in the Cretaceous from the Aptian to the Maastrichtian. This diverse but poorly studied group of small-bodied herbivores is divided taxonomically into Orodrominae and Thescelosaurinae, and existed in Asia and North and...

The Short-term Impacts of Aspen Clear-cutting on Upland Groundwater RechargeClear-cutting Impacts on Groundwater Recharge
DownloadSpring 2011
The impacts of aspen clear-cutting on upland groundwater recharge are presented based on two years (2007-2008) of the five year (2005-2009) HEAD2 NSERC-CRD paired-catchment experiment. Research was conducted at the Utikuma Region Study Area (URSA), 370 km north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in...

Toxicological Characterization of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water Exposures to Aquatic Organisms
DownloadFall 2021
Hydraulic fracturing is an unconventional oil and gas extraction method used to liberate oil and gas reserves from low permeability geological formations by injecting large quantities of fracturing fluid into the well-bore under high pressures. A by-product of this process is flowback and...

Spring 2023
Human-coyote conflicts are increasing in urban areas, where reports of coyotes approaching, pursuing, or attacking pets and people have become more prevalent. Aversive conditioning is increasingly being advocated as a non-lethal method to reduce conflicts with bold coyotes, but it has not been...
