"The GNB3 825T allele encodes a product that has enhanced activation of heterotrimeric G proteins in vitro and could play a role in adipogenesis. We therefore evaluated the possibility that the GNB3 825T allele was associated with obesity in a sample of 213 healthy Canadian Inuit. We found that...

Ice-Atmosphere Interactions on the Devon Ice Cap, Canada: the Effects of Climate Warming on Surface Energy Balance, Melting, and Firn Stratigraphy
DownloadSpring 2014
In order to better constrain the magnitude of projected sea-level rise from Canadian Arctic glaciers during the 21st century warming, it is critical to understand the environmental mechanisms that enhance surface warming and melt, and how the projected increase in surface melt will translate into...

Intrapopulation variability in wolf diet revealed using a combined stable isotope and fatty acid approach
DownloadSpring 2018
Naturally occurring stable isotope ratios and fatty acids are two types of chemical biomarkers frequently used to quantitatively estimate consumer diets. Stable isotope values in animal tissues and diets have been evaluated using Bayesian mixing models to provide dietary estimates of consumers in...

Multiple carnivore species can have greater population limiting effects than single carnivores. Two coexisting carnivores can only be similar up to a certain extent. I investigate how two carnivores, wolves (Canis lupus) and cougars (Puma concolor), coexist through niche partitioning in the...

Let the winter sun shine on, let me feel the frost of dawn: Rangifer tarandus osteology, anatomy, and identity
DownloadFall 2020
Rangifer tarandus, the species which encompasses both caribou in North America and reindeer in Eurasia, is a keystone species for both the cultures and the ecosystems of the circumpolar world. Because of this, human interactions with reindeer and caribou throughout history are of great interest...

Paquet, P.C., Hik, D.S., Frame, P.F., Cluff, H.D.
Wolves (Canis lupus) on the Canadian barrens are intimately linked to migrating herds of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus). We deployed a Global Positioning System (GPS) radio collar on an adult female wolf to record her movements in response to changing caribou densities near her den...

Managing the cumulative impacts of land uses in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin: A modeling approach.
Download2003
Wasel, S., Schneider, R., Boutin, S., Stelfox, J.
This case study from northeastern Alberta, Canada, demonstrates a fundamentally different approach to forest management in which stakeholders balance conservation and economic objectives by weighing current management options from the point of view of their long-term effects on the forest....

Measuring wildlife response to seismic lines to inform land use planning decisions in northwest Canada
DownloadFall 2012
Development of hydrocarbon resources across northwest Canada has spurred economic prosperity but also generated concerns over impacts to biodiversity. To balance these interests, comprehensive land use plans have been used to match targeted management strategies to ecological components deemed...

Movement ecology thrives from a successful synergy of data and models. In a field where experiments are difficult or impossible, linking field data with mathematical and statistical models allows us to test hypotheses and increase our quantitative understanding of movement processes. Owing to...
