Spring 2015
Personality has been documented in diverse taxa and growing attention is being directed towards the ecological implications of consistent variation in individual behaviour. These implications include the rise in habituation behaviour by wildlife living in human-disturbed areas, which has resulted...

Ecophysiology And Carbon Allocation Of Aspen And Balsam Poplar Seedlings In Response To Drought
DownloadFall 2012
Drought-induced forest mortality has been recorded in every forested continent. Although the effect of drought on plant growth, physiology and ecology have been extensively studied in the past, the physiological mechanism leading to plant mortality under drought conditions are far from being...

Fall 2014
Stable home ranges can emerge in a generic forager using a two-part memory system and rules derived from optimal foraging theory. My objective was to evaluate the underlying assumptions of this promising theoretical model using data from two populations of elk. Using a spatiotemporal scan...

Evaluating trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedling stock characteristics in response to drought and out-planting on a reclamation site
DownloadFall 2014
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedlings often display reduced growth, or transplant shock, following out-planting largely due to moisture constraints. This thesis explores the influence of seedling size (root volume), root to stem ratio (RSR) and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC)...

Foraging-predator avoidance trade-offs made by migrant and resident elk (Cervus elaphus) on their sympatric winter range
DownloadFall 2009
Migratory behaviour of the Ya Ha Tinda (YHT) elk population is diminishing while the number of residents remaining on the YHT winter range year-round is increasing. Previous research addressing the fitness consequences of each migratory strategy assumed there was no advantage to either segment...

Forest floor protection during drilling pad construction and its benefits for natural regeneration of native boreal forest vegetation
DownloadSpring 2014
I tested forest floor protection techniques in the construction and reclamation of temporary drilling pads to restore native boreal canopy and understory cover. By covering and delineating the forest floor I hoped to reduce damage to the vegetative propagule bank, so clonal species such as aspen...

Forest Succession and Nutritional Carrying Capacity of Elk since the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens
DownloadFall 2016
There has been increasing concern over declines in habitat quality for elk (Cervus elaphus) on industrial timber lands west of Mount St. Helens due to canopy closure and the loss of nutritional resources related to succession of early seral stands created by the 1980 eruption. Vegetative...
