Community ecology of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the central sand hills of Alberta, and a key to the ants of Alberta.
DownloadFall 2012
In this study I examined ant biodiversity in Alberta. Over a two-year period, 41,791 ants were captured in pitfall traps on five sand hills in central Alberta and one adjacent aspen parkland community. Using additional collections, I produced a key to the 92 species of ants known from Alberta,...

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...

A range-wide common garden experiment of white spruce indicates population differentiation in drought tolerance traits
DownloadFall 2019
In western regions of the Canadian boreal forest, mean annual temperature has increased by 1.5 to 2.5 °C, significantly exceeding the mean global temperature increase. Climate conditions have also become drier and together these climate trends have induced widespread growth reductions, dieback...

Estimating the mechanical contribution of willows and balsam poplar in soil bioengineering projects in Alberta
DownloadFall 2019
After the floods in 2013 in Alberta, the effort towards reducing the impact of conventional approaches on the environment and improving the desirable effects of vegetation protecting the water bodies has been an increasing trend in most cities. Soil bioengineering designs with fast-growing plants...

Early Stages Of Calcareous Soil Reclamation Along The TMX-Anchor Loop Pipeline In Jasper National Park
DownloadFall 2010
Research assessed early stages of calcareous soil reclamation along the TMX-Anchor Loop pipeline through Jasper National Park. Calcareous soils are low in nutrients and highly prone to erosion after disturbances. Four sites were established in each of five calcareous soils, and divided into three...

Spring 2012
This study examined the potential of using conifer seedlings Picea glauca and Pinus banksiana inoculated with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to improve revegetation success and plant establishment in reclaimed oil sands mining sites. Mycorrhizal inoculum potential of the reclamation soils was low...

Surface mining in the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOSR) of Alberta, Canada, has led to the removal of over 760 km2 of boreal forest. Successful reclamation of these areas must return them to an equivalent capability boreal forest community. Clearwater overburden is a saline byproduct of surface...

Festuca hallii (plains rough fescue), a late-seral bunchgrass and long-lived perennial, is difficult to restore once disturbed. Once dominant in grasslands throughout central Alberta, F. hallii now occurs in remnants, a result of agricultural and residential development, and oil and gas...
