Genetic structure of a large recolonizing carnivore: the case of the northern cougars (Puma concolor)
DownloadFall 2023
Anthropogenic activities have pressured and altered landscapes resulting in extinctions and extirpations. However, increased conservation efforts and changing management strategies in some large carnivores have resulted in population and range expansion. Population growth and range expansion are...

Molecular analysis of lodgepole and jack pine seedlings response to inoculation by mountain pine beetle fungal associate Grosmannia clavigera under well watered and water deficit
DownloadFall 2016
To date mountain pine beetle (MPB) has affected more than 19 million ha. of pine forests in Canada. The primary species affected by the current outbreak has been lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), however as MPB range expands eastward beyond its historical habitat, the bark beetle has encountered a...

Phenotypic and genetic variation in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis)
DownloadFall 2023
Genetic variation is a ubiquitous feature of natural populations and underpins much phenotypic variation. Genetic variance can be partitioned and examined at various hierarchical levels of organization to address fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. Patterns of genetic variance among...
