Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Cranial Morphology, Taxonomy, and Systematics of Pachycephalosaurids (Dinosauria, Ornithischia)
DownloadSpring 2022
Pachycephalosauridae (pachcycephalosaurids) were small to medium sized bipedal ornithischians, known solely from the Late Cretaceous of North America and Asia. These dinosaurs are characterised by thick, often domed frontals and parietals (frontoparietal dome), which are thought to have been used...

Diversity of wetland non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) and their responses to environmental factors in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
Wetlands provide a wide range of services, including improving water quality, providing habitats for wildlife, and storing floodwaters. In Alberta, wetlands cover about 21% of the landscape of the province. In Alberta, as elsewhere, wetlands have suffered from human activities and many have...

Epulorhiza inquilina sp. nov. from Platanthera (Orchidaceae) and a key to Epulorhiza species
Download1997
McInnis, T. M., Currah, R. S., Zettler, L. W.
Abstract: Epulorhiza inquilina sp. nov. is described from the mycorrhizas of mature plants of Platanthera clavellata, P. cristata and P. integrilabia, coexisting terrestrial orchids native to bogs in the southern Appalachians. The new taxon was isolated consistently and exclusively from these...

Assis, Leandro C.S., Brigandt, Ingo
Taxa and homologues can in our view be construed both as kinds and as individuals. However, the conceptualization of taxa as natural kinds in the sense of homeostatic property cluster kinds has been criticized by some systematists, as it seems that even such kinds cannot evolve due to their being...

Molecular characterization of Tubifex populations in Alberta, Canada, and their role in the spread of whirling disease
DownloadSpring 2024
Whirling disease is a parasitic infection caused by Myxobolus cerebralis Hofer (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) and is debilitating to the salmonid fish that act as hosts. As of 2016, this parasite has been confirmed in Alberta, Canada. This thesis focused on estimating how long M. cerebralis has been present...
