Conserving cougars in a rural landscape: habitat requirements and local tolerance in west-central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Maintaining large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes poses a significant conservation challenge. Extirpation is common because of habitat loss or direct persecution. I studied cougar habitat selection and human perception of cougars in west-central Alberta to better understand...

Could Age, Sex and Physical Fitness Affect Blood Glucose Responses to Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes?
Download2019-11-13
Yardley, J. E., Brockman, N. K., Bracken, R. M.
Closed-loop systems for patients with type 1 diabetes are progressing rapidly. Despite these advances, current systems may struggle in dealing with the acute stress of exercise. Algorithms to predict exercise-induced blood glucose changes in current systems are mostly derived from data involving...

Distribution, abundance and habitat associations of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters in the AOSERP study area, Northeastern Alberta
Download1979
A synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters is presented. Field studies conducted during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts in snow. A total of 249 active beaver lodges were seen on 2550 km of...

Thompson, M. D., Kirby, M. E., Wride, M. C.
The purpose of this study was to prepare ecological habitat working maps at a scale of 1:50,000 from false colour infrared photographs of the AOSERP study area obtained in 1977, and to evaluate multispectral and multistage remote sensing techniques for application to mapping and monitoring in the...

Effects of flood seasonality and frequency on northern pintail and other breeding ducks in managed prairie wetlands
Download2011
Thompson, Jonathan E., Bork, Edward W., Asamoah, Stephen A.
Anthropogenic flooding to create wetlands is a management option intended to compensate for historical loss of natural wetlands in the Dry Mixedgrass Prairie of western Canada. It may help moderate or reverse declines in density of breeding Northern Pintails (Anas acuta L.) and other waterfowl....

Fall 2019
Understanding historical species distributions is vital to the conservation and restoration of native species, yet such information is often qualitative. Here, we show that the paleolimnological history of threatened freshwater fishes can be reconstructed using species diagnostic markers...

Fall fisheries investigation in the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers upstream of Fort McMurray Vol I
Download1978
McCart, P. J., Mann, G. J., Jones, M. L.
Fisheries investigations were undertaken in the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers upstream of Fort McMurray in the fall of 1977. The major emphasis of these studies was to delineate actual and potential spawning areas for lake whitefish in the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers. Lake whitefish were...

Ciarniello, L. M., Heard, D. C., Boyce, M. S., Seip, D. R.
The purpose of our study is to show how ecologists' interpretation of habitat selection by grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) is altered by the scale of observation and also how management questions would be best addressed using predetermined scales of analysis. Using resource selection functions (RSF)...
