A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population
Download2008
McDermid, G., Hebblewhite, M., Merrill, E.
The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) proposes that ungulate migration is driven by selection for high forage quality. Because quality declines with plant maturation, but intake declines at low biomass, ungulates are predicted to select for intermediate forage biomass to maximize energy intake...

Divided landscapes: the emergence and dissipation of "The Great Divide" landscape narrative
DownloadFall 2011
Heights of land are, in a North American context, geographical boundaries—defined by the division of waters and a certain degree of elevation that sets them apart from the immediate environs. Heights of land are also landscaped places. Indeed, the hegemonic narrative that frames the height of...

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...

Abstract: Twenty topples are described from Rock Glacier Site, 2 km north of the summit of the Highwood Pass in the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. In situ field testing and laboratory tests indicated that the external force driving the toppling process is frost action within a...

Yoho National Park protects the Burgess Shale: a chain of fossil beds in British Columbia bearing what paleontologist and science writer Stephen Jay Gould once called “the world’s most important animal fossils.” They are an extraordinary record of underwater soft-bodied organisms from just after...

Modelling long- term impacts of mountain pine beetle outbreaks on merchantable biomass, ecosystem carbon, albedo, and radiative forcing
Download2016-01-01
Price, David T., Matthews, H. Damon, Parrott, Lael, Ramankutty, Navin, Landry, Jean-Sébastien
The ongoing major outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) in forests of western North America has led to considerable research efforts. However, many questions remain unaddressed regarding its long-term impacts, especially when accounting for the range of possible responses from the non-target...

School based gay straight alliances (GSAs) are primarily North American extra- curricular clubs that foster support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) and allied middle and secondary students. Founded and led by youth, they can also take on activist or educational roles,...

Although oil and gas overshadow coal mining in conversations about fossil fuels, coal still plays a significant role in Alberta’s culture, economy, and energy supply. In some pockets of Alberta, coal mining is central to local communities and their future aspirations. This study uses a case study...
