Annual Dispersal of Endangered Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia): Implications for Estimating Survival
DownloadSpring 2022
The migratory population of Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in Canada has undergone significant declines over the past five decades. Monitoring of Burrowing Owl includes estimation of annual survival which is predominantly obtained using mark-recapture data. Survival is calculated based on...

Effects of Supplemental dietary starch on production and reproductive characteristics in postpartum dairy cows
DownloadFall 2009
This study evaluated the effects of dietary starch on productive and reproduction parameters of postpartum dairy cows. Three diets were fed, with increasing starch levels from calving until 70 days in milk. Treatment had no effect on dry matter intake, energy balance, specific metabolic hormones...

Factors Influencing Mountain Pine Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Dispersal by Flight and Subsequent Trade-off Between Beetle Flight and Reproduction
DownloadFall 2016
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), has an obligatory dispersal phase before selection of a suitable host for brood production. Flight during the dispersal phase is affected by both beetle physiology and environmental factors....

Investigating fine-scale movement patterns and comparative swimming performance of the newly identified and threatened Rocky Mountain Sculpin (Cottus sp.) across its Canadian distribution
DownloadSpring 2016
Cumulative anthropogenic impacts to the riverscape, including hydrologic alteration, have contributed to an escalated number of freshwater fish species at risk in North America. Species dispersal is an important mechanism underlying many ecological processes. Understanding the scale at which...

Litter birth weight phenotype and maternal n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pigs
DownloadSpring 2013
Research reported in this thesis investigated effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation, litter birth weight phenotype, and their possible interactions, on reproductive performance of the gilt and sow and postnatal performance of the litter. In an initial study, LCPUFA...

Local and regional demography in a migratory forest songbird and effects of forest management intensity
DownloadSpring 2014
The numerical response of forest birds to habitat alteration has been well documented in North America, but the underlying demographic processes driving these changes remain largely unknown. Among species sensitive to such alterations, the Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) shows one of the largest...

Population-level responses of fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to alarm substances and predator odour
DownloadSpring 2010
Alarm substances, released by injured prey, and odours from predators, such as northern pike, are chemical cues associated with increased predation risk in aquatic ecosystems. In laboratory studies, individual prey can respond to the presence of such cues by reducing conspicuous behaviours, such...
