Territorial behaviour is widespread in the animal kingdom, with creatures seeking to gain parts of space for their exclusive use. It arises through a complicated interplay of many different behavioural features. Extracting and quantifying the processes that give rise to territorial patterns...

The Natural Regions and Subregions classification represents the state-of-the-art in ecological land classification in Alberta. It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that current landscape patterns are destined to change in coming decades as a consequence of global warming. In this...

Bacterial response to siderophore and quorum-sensing chemical signals in the seawater microbial community
Download2001
Background Oceans are iron-deficient and nutrient-poor environments. These conditions impart limitations on our understanding of and our ability to identify microorganisms from the marine environment. However, less of knowledge on the influence of siderophores and N-acyl homoserinelactone as...

Worldwide, forest pathogens are a major cause of forest disturbances and can impact economic revenues and endanger host species and their ecosystems. Genomics represents one of the most promising avenues to better understand and prevent forest disease epidemics. Pathogen genome characterization...

Effects of contemporary winter seismic exploration on low arctic plant communities and permafrost
Download2009
Kemper, J. T., MacDonald, S. E.
Abstract: We studied effects of oil and gas exploration, using the most recent seismic exploration technologies, on tundra plant communities and soils in four vegetation types in the Low Arctic of western Canada, two to three years post-disturbance. For all four vegetation types, seismic lines...

Influence of subhumid climate and water table depth on groundwater recharge in shallow outwash aquifers
Download2008
Smerdon, B.D., Mendoza, C.A., Devito, K.J.
[1] Hypothetical one-dimensional models of unsaturated flow were used to estimate the probability of groundwater recharge to shallow, glacial outwash aquifers. Simulations were supported by field data, previous three-dimensional modeling, and cross-sectional models of water table response to...

Interannual variability in trophic status of shallow lakes on the boreal Plain: Is there a climate signal?
Download2008
Devito, K.J., Bayley, S.E., Creed, I.F., Sass, G.Z.
We explored relations between climate and trophic status of shallow lakes (lake area > 5 ha, mean depth < 3.2 m) located on the subhumid western Boreal Plain of Canada. Correlation and regression analyses were used to assess the association between indicators of climate and satellite-based...

Simulations of fully coupled lake‐groundwater exchange in a subhumid climate with an integrated hydrologic model
Download2007
Devito, K.J., Smerdon, B.D., Mendoza, C.A.
[1] A fully coupled, integrated surface water/groundwater model was used to study hydrologic controls on lake-groundwater interaction in the subhumid, Boreal Plains of northern Alberta, Canada. Findings from a previous water budget study indicate that lakes on the outwash landscape capture...
