Wildlife festivals, i.e., short-term celebrations of local natural wildlife features, are growing in number across North America. To be considered ecotourism activities, wildlife festivals should focus on natural areas, deliver environmental education, and promote sustainability. The goal of this...

Coexistence with large carnivores is one of the greatest conservation challenges across the globe, in part because mechanisms of coexistence are unknown or contested. Large carnivores can be conflict-prone and pose real or perceived threats to human life and property. In North America, grizzly...

Habitat mapping and habitat supply assessment have been identified as key elements of the Alberta Woodland Caribou Conservation Strategy. Previous studies from northeastern Alberta have shown that caribou select lowland habitat types and avoid upland. The objectives of our study were to determine...

The use of rayon in 1920s and 1930s garments confronts conservators with new challenges: definitive fibre identification involves more than basic microscopy and treatment can be difficult with little available research on early rayon and its conservation. Rayon is expected to degrade similarly to...

Identifying seasonal Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) movement patterns and habitat selection in the South Saskatchewan River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque 1817) have experienced population declines throughout their range. In Alberta, low density age-class distributions, irregular recruitment, critically low spawning potential ratios and other factors led to a 2007 designation of “Threatened” for this...

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It: the Unintended Consequences of Large Language Model Code Repairs
Download2024-08-01
Nowadays, we heavily rely on ChatGPT to generate content, including writing code. But have you ever thought about the scenario where you input the correct content while GPT outputs a bug? This project aims to explore the unintended consequences of code repairs made by large language models. By...

Mitigating the Effects of Human Activity on Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) in Southwestern Alberta.
DownloadSpring 2015
Anthropogenic habitat loss and alteration, as well as human-caused mortalities associated with increasing access, threaten grizzly bear populations across much of their North American range. This research investigates strategies for mitigating the negative effects of human activities on grizzly...
