Integrated step selection analysis: Bridging the gap between resource selection and animal movement
Download2016-01-01
Avgar, Tal, Potts, Jonathan R., Lewis, Mark A., Boyce, Mark S.
A resource selection function is a model of the likelihood that an available spatial unit will be used by an animal, given its resource value. But how do we appropriately define availability? Step selection analysis deals with this problem at the scale of the observed positional data, by matching...

Intersections of animal production practices on meat quality, intramuscular collagen and expression of genes related to collagen and myofibrillar synthesis and degradation
DownloadSpring 2022
Beef quality, particularly tenderness, continues to be a major challenge in the beef industry resulting in significant economic losses. Beef tenderness is influenced by genetic factors, especially the expression of genes associated with collagen and collagen crosslink synthesis, live production...

Investigating fine-scale movement patterns and comparative swimming performance of the newly identified and threatened Rocky Mountain Sculpin (Cottus sp.) across its Canadian distribution
DownloadSpring 2016
Cumulative anthropogenic impacts to the riverscape, including hydrologic alteration, have contributed to an escalated number of freshwater fish species at risk in North America. Species dispersal is an important mechanism underlying many ecological processes. Understanding the scale at which...

Linking genotype to phenotype to identify genetic variation relating to host susceptibility in the mountain pine beetle system
Download2020-01-01
Cullingham, Catherine I., Peery, Rhiannon M., Fortier, Colleen E., Mahon, Elizabeth L., Cooke, Janice E. K., Coltman, David W.
Identifying genetic variants responsible for phenotypic variation under selective pressure has the potential to enable productive gains in natural resource conservation and management. Despite this potential, identifying adaptive candidate loci is not trivial, and linking genotype to phenotype is...

Local and regional demography in a migratory forest songbird and effects of forest management intensity
DownloadSpring 2014
The numerical response of forest birds to habitat alteration has been well documented in North America, but the underlying demographic processes driving these changes remain largely unknown. Among species sensitive to such alterations, the Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) shows one of the largest...

Flight polyphenisms naturally occur as discrete or continuous traits in insects. Discrete flight polyphenisms include winged and wingless morphs, whereas continuous flight polyphenisms can take the form of short- or long-distance fliers. The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) exhibits...

Migration and survival of Parnassius smintheus: Detecting effects of habitat for individual butterflies
Download2004
Hanski, I., Roland, J., Matter, S. F., Moilanen, A.
We examined the migration and survival of the butterfly Parnassius smintheus in a heterogeneous landscape consisting of 21 habitat patches imbedded in a matrix of meadow and forest habitat. We modified an existing mark-release-recapture model to account for multiple habitat types and fit the...

Minimizing invasion risk by reducing propagule pressure: a model for ballast-water exchange
Download2005-01-01
Lewis, Mark A., Wonham, Marjorie J., MacIsaac, Hugh J.
Biological invasions are a major and increasing agent of global biodiversity change. Theory and practice indicate that invasion risk can be diminished by reducing propagule pressure, or the quantity, quality, and frequency of introduced individuals. For aquatic invasions, the primary global...

Mitochondrial DNA variation and identification of bark weevils in the Pissodes strobi species group in western Canada (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download1995
Sperling, F. A. H., Langor, D. W.
Abstract: Morphological, allozyme, and chromosomal characters and ecological traits have limited value for discriminating among four closely related Pissodes spp. known from western Canada. We amplified a 1585-bp segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including half of the cytochrome oxidase I...
