Spring 2017
A major side-effect of industrial activity is the associated linear-feature footprint and increase in recreational access. Alberta’s threatened grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) populations overlap with a multitude of different potential forms of human disturbance, including human recreational...

Fall 2014
Taking cues from the work of Paul W. Schroeder, this project seeks to investigate the particular conditions which allowed the Habsburg Monarchy and two of its leading politicians—Leopold II and Metternich—to have such pride of place in Schroeder’s ‘transformation’ of the European state-system. It...

Individual and Seasonal Variation in Grizzly Bear Selection for a Railway and other Linear Features in Banff National Park, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Mortality caused by collisions with trains affects numerous species globally and has increased recently to threaten the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population protected in Banff and Yoho National Parks, Canada. Although train collisions are the ultimate cause of mortality, the more proximate...

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations between physical activity, screen time, and fitness in a sample of young children from Edmonton, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Background: High fitness is associated with several positive health outcomes; however, fitness of Canadian children has declined over the past two decades. Correlates of fitness in children under 10 years of age are relatively unexplored, and few studies involving young children have looked at...

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...

Spring 2015
West-central, Alberta is subject to a growing number of resource extraction activities such as forestry that change ecosystem components and their structure. This area is important for the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) population, which is considered to be a threatened species in Alberta...

Resources and Reproductive Trade-offs Affect Fitness, Life History Traits, and Sexual Selection in Red Squirrels
DownloadSpring 2017
Animals face trade-offs throughout life between competing functions, such as between self-maintenance, reproduction, and survival. Resource allocation between these competing functions leads to different patterns of life history traits, changes in investment in reproductive effort, and different...

Spatial heterogeneity of buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis) in relation to forest canopy patterns and its importance for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) resource selection
DownloadFall 2016
Spatial heterogeneity inherent in the environment influences how animals respond to their surroundings, especially as it relates to the variability of their food resources. Heterogeneity in specific elements of vegetation, such as the spatial pattern of a single plant species, can be defined...
