Snowfall, travel speed, and seismic lines: The effects of snow conditions on wolf movement paths in boreal Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
In the winter, snow can present a major challenge to large mammals by impeding locomotion, limiting food availability, and imposing additional energetic costs during travel. This thesis examines the effects of snow conditions on the fine-scale movement patterns of grey wolves (Canis lupus) in a...

Mercer, G., St. Clair, C. C., Whittington, J.
Increasing levels of human activity in mountainous areas have high potential to inhibit animal movement across and among valleys. We examined how wolves respond to roads, trails, and other developments. We recorded the movements of two wolf packs for two winters by following their tracks in the...

Subduction related crustal and mantle deformations and their implications for plate dynamics
DownloadFall 2010
Ocean-continent convergence and subsequent continental collision are responsible for continental growth, mountain building, and severe tectonic events including volcanic eruptions and earthquake activity. They are also key driving forces behind the extensive thermal and compositional...

The influence of morphological variation on migration performance in a trans-hemispheric migratory songbird
Download2015-01-01
Lam, Lawrence, McKinnon, Emily A., Ray, James D., Pearman, Myrna, Hvenegaard, Glen T., Mejeur, James, Moscar, Lauren, Pearson, Mackenzie, Applegate, Kelly, Mammenga, Paul, Tautin, John, Fraser, Kevin C.
For long-distance migratory songbirds, morphological traits such as longer wings and a smaller body size are predicted to increase migration efficiency. Due to previous limitations in our ability to track the long-distance journeys of small-bodied birds, the relationship between morphology and...

The Migration of Zimbabweans to South Africa and their Working and Living Conditions, 2000-2010
DownloadFall 2016
In this dissertation, I focus on the migration of Zimbabweans to South Africa and on their living conditions after they settled there. I cover the years from 2000 to 2010. This migration is important to study for several reasons. The departure of Zimbabweans during those years was extraordinary....
