A mechanistic model for understanding invasions: using the environment as a predictor of population success
Download2011-01-01
DiBacco, C., Lewis, Mark A., Strasser, C. A.
Aim We set out to develop a temperature-and salinity-dependent mechanistic population model for copepods that can be used to understand the role of environmental parameters in population growth or decline. Models are an important tool for understanding the dynamics of invasive species; our model...

Models of population dynamics are a central piece for harvest management, allowing managers to evaluate alternative strategies and to identify uncertainty. Here we present a density-dependent population dynamics model that can be used in conjunction with adaptive management to optimize big game...

An Investigation of the Effects of Conversion Pressure and Fragmentation on Farmland Values in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
The majority of the agricultural area in Alberta, Canada, is situated in the southern half of the province. This also coincides with the population distribution as most Albertans call this region home. Therefore, it is no surprise that there are multiple competing uses and demands for farmland....

Are the “ seeds ” of spatial variation in cyclic dynamics apparent in spatially-replicated short time-series ? An example from the forest tent caterpillar
Download2005
Variation in the pattern of dynamics of the forest tent caterpillar was assessed over a 13-year interval of population collapse and increase among 68 sites within a 420 km2 region. Patterns of population change were compared with the level of forest fragmentation among sites, and interpreted in...

Biology and integrated management of wheat stem sawfly, cephus cinctus norton (hymenoptera: cephidae), with a discussion of needs for future research
Download2011
Dosdall, Lloyd M., Spaner, Dean M., Cárcamo, Hector A., Beres, Brian L.
The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), is historically one of the most important economic insect pests in the northern Great Plains of North America. Within this geographical region, the areas subjected to greatest attack are southern Alberta and Saskatchewan,...

Lamberson, Leslie, Pagano, Steven, Hogan, James
The rate-dependent compressive response and resulting fragmentation characteristics of dry ox cortical bone and cyanoacrylate-based cortical bone surrogate material was investigated in two material orientations. Tests were conducted under quasi-static (10−3 s−1) and dynamic (103 s−1) loading in...

Conversion of cycloalk-2-enones into 2-methylcycloalkane-1,3-diones - Assessment of various Tamao-Fleming procedures and mechanistic insight into the use of the Me3SiMe2Si unit.
Download2016-01-01
Yu, Goujun, Clive, Derrick L. J.
Conjugate addition of Me3SiMe2SiLi to cycloalk-2-en-1-ones, ketalization, Tamao-Fleming oxidation (Bu4NF, then H2O2, KHCO3), TPAP oxidation and acid hydrolysis generates 2-methyl cycloalkane-1,3-diones. Ketalization is needed in order to prevent addition of Me3Si- to the carbonyl. The...

Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Hannon, S. J.
Abstract. Building or maintaining corridors in fragmented landscapes may be an important method to conserve gap-sensitive species that avoid crossing gaps in forest cover. We tested the effectiveness of corridors by examining the changes in abundance of boreal birds pre- and post-logging in...

Coupling mountain pine beetle and forest population dynamics predicts transient outbreaks that are likely to increase in number with climate change
Download2023-09-27
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) in Canada have spread well beyond their historical range. Accurate modelling of the long-term dynamics of MPB is critical for assessing the risk of further expansion and informing management strategies, particularly in the context of climate change and variable forest...
