Spring 2023
Human-coyote conflicts are increasing in urban areas, where reports of coyotes approaching, pursuing, or attacking pets and people have become more prevalent. Aversive conditioning is increasingly being advocated as a non-lethal method to reduce conflicts with bold coyotes, but it has not been...

Genetic structure of a large recolonizing carnivore: the case of the northern cougars (Puma concolor)
DownloadFall 2023
Anthropogenic activities have pressured and altered landscapes resulting in extinctions and extirpations. However, increased conservation efforts and changing management strategies in some large carnivores have resulted in population and range expansion. Population growth and range expansion are...

Survey, host preference and infectivity of Phasmarhabditis californica (Family: Rhabditidae) on pest slugs
DownloadFall 2023
Patuwatha Withanage, Dayani B. M.
Certain slug species are considered agricultural and horticultural pests worldwide. Nematodes offer a potential solution as biocontrol agents in controlling slug populations due to their natural associations with terrestrial gastropods. In some cases, they provide higher specificity and more...

The Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Evolution of Thescelosauridae (Ornithischia) from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Thescelosauridae is a basal neornithischian dinosaur clade that flourished in the Cretaceous from the Aptian to the Maastrichtian. This diverse but poorly studied group of small-bodied herbivores is divided taxonomically into Orodrominae and Thescelosaurinae, and existed in Asia and North and...

A burning question: The spatial response of woodland caribou to wildfire in northeastern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2020
The Canadian Federal Recovery Strategy for woodland caribou classifies areas burned by wildfire in the last 40 years as disturbed habitat for woodland caribou. This delineation of fire disturbance has major economic and social implications across Canada. Caribou have been shown to avoid burned...

Spring 2019
In wildlife conservation, long-term monitoring is often justified by wildlife agencies as they allow managers to inform stakeholders, avoid conflicts, and to evaluate the results of management interventions. However, many wildlife agencies insufficiently or inadequately use these data in their...

The Influence of a Railway on Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) in Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks
DownloadSpring 2019
Linear features such as roads and railways threaten wildlife directly through collisions with vehicles. Although the adverse effects of roads on wildlife have been extensively studied resulting in widespread mitigation measures (e.g. fencing and highway crossing structures), far less attention...

Fall 2019
Although typically referred to as a generalist species, individual prey specialization has been documented in cougars (Puma concolor). This behaviour has the potential to limit and regulate ungulate dynamics, particularly in cases where ungulates exist in small or isolated populations. Cougars...

Spring 2018
Cretaceous birds of Alberta are poorly understood, as skeletal elements are rare and typically consist of fragmentary postcranial remains. A partial avian coracoid from the upper Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada can be referred to the Ornithurae, and is referred to here as...

Spring 2017
Food is fundamental to life. It is the source of essentially all the chemical and biological components found in our bodies. Given its importance, there is a growing desire among food producers, consumers, nutritionists, and dieticians to have a better understanding of the precise chemical...
