Age determination of a long-lived coregonid from the Canadian North: comparison of otoliths, fin rays and scales in inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys)
Download2004
Gendron, M., Tonn, W.M., Howland, K.L., Tallman, R.F.
We examined otoliths, pelvic fin rays and scales of inconnu to determine precision of age estimates within and between readers, and to compare relative accuracy of estimates from different structures. Our main objective was to determine if readability and estimates from fin rays and scales,...

Assessing health care in Canada’s North: what can we learn from national and regional surveys?
Download2015-07-24
Young, T. Kue, Ng, Carmina, Chatwood, Susan
"Background: Health surveys are a rich source of information on a variety of health issues, including health care. Objectives: This article compares various national and regional surveys in terms of their geographical coverage with respect to the Canadian North, especially their Aboriginal...

Disturbance has lasting effects on functional traits and diversity of grassland plant communities
Download2022-01-01
Ellen A Smith, Emily M Holden, Charlotte Brown, James F Cahill Jr
Background Localized disturbances within grasslands alter biological properties and may shift species composition. For example, rare species in established communities may become dominant in successional communities if they exhibit traits well-suited to disturbance conditions. Although the idea...

Effects of forest harvesting and fire on fish assemblages in Boreal Plains lakes: A reference condition approach
Download2003
Scrimgeour, G.J., Lange, M., Prepas, E.E., Westcott, K., Aku, P.K.M., Paszkowski, C.A., Tonn, W.M.
To assess the impacts of forest harvesting and fires on lentic fish assemblages in the Boreal Plains ecoregion (Alberta, Canada), we applied a reference condition approach to 37 lakes in burned, logged, or undisturbed catchments. Fish assemblages in the reference lakes were classified into two...

Patient transportation in Canada’s northern territories: patterns, costs and providers’ perspectives
Download2019-05-25
Young, T. Kue, Tabish, Taha, Young, Stephanie K., Healey, Gwen
"Canada’s northern territories are characterized by small, scattered populations separated by long distances. A major challenge to healthcare delivery is the reliance on costly patient transportation, especially emergency air evacuations (medevacs). The purpose of this study was to describe the...

Mercer, G., St. Clair, C. C., Whittington, J.
Increasing levels of human activity in mountainous areas have high potential to inhibit animal movement across and among valleys. We examined how wolves respond to roads, trails, and other developments. We recorded the movements of two wolf packs for two winters by following their tracks in the...

Wolves Influence Elk Movements: Behavior Shapes a Trophic Cascade in Yellowstone National Park
Download2005
Fortin, D., Beyer, H. L., Smith, D. W., Boyce, M. S., Mao, J. S., Duchesne, T.
A trophic cascade recently has been reported among wolves, elk, and aspen on the northern winter range of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, but the mechanisms of indirect interactions within this food chain have yet to be established. We investigated whether the observed trophic cascade...

Modeling the carbon balance of Amazonian rain forests: resolving ecological controls on net ecosystem productivity
Download2009
de Oliveira, R. C., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C., Hutra, L. R., Grant, R. F., Saleska, S. R.
Abstract: There is still much uncertainty about ecological controls on the rate and direction of net CO(2) exchange by tropical rain forests, in spite of their importance to global C cycling. These controls are thought to arise from hydrologic and nutrient constraints to CO(2) fixation caused by...
