Exploring above- and belowground behavioural responses to nutrients and neighbours in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2022
Taking in environmental information and responding in ways that maximize their ability to thrive and reproduce, plants exhibit behaviour through constant changes in biomass development and spatial distribution. Studies aiming to map this behaviour often use model plants like sunflowers and...

McNickle, G. G., Cahill jr, J. F.
All organisms must find and consume resources to live, and the strategies an organism uses when foraging can have significant impacts on their fitness. Models assuming optimality in foraging behavior, and which quantitatively account for the costs, benefits, and biological constraints of...

Relationships among diverse root foraging behaviours: understanding plant behavioural types
DownloadSpring 2014
Behaviours capture the functional response of plants to environmental factors. I explore behaviours for twenty co-occurring grassland species in response to common belowground environmental factors (competition, mycorrhizae, heterogeneous and high nutrients) and their relationship to plant...

Role of host identity, stand composition, soil type and disturbance severity in structuring ectomycorrhizal communities in the boreal forest
DownloadSpring 2018
The symbiosis between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is essential for tree establishment and survival in the boreal forest because it is a disturbance prone ecosystem characterized by long harsh winters and low nutrient mobility. Ectomycorrhizal fungal community composition can be...

All organisms, including plants, experience variability in the environment which puts pressure on organisms to evolve flexible responses. The study of these responses by organisms falls into the discipline of behavioural ecology. In this thesis, I am interested in the foraging behaviour of plant...

Sequential decision-making in a variable environment: modeling elk movement in Yellowstone National Park as a dynamic game.
Download2007
Potapov, A. B., Noonburg, E. G., Newman, L. A., Lewis, M. A., Crabtree, R. L.
We develop a suite of models with varying complexity to predict elk movement behavior during the winter on the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park (YNP). The models range from a simple representation of optimal patch choice to a dynamic game, and we show how the underlying theory in each...

Fall 2015
The recent open pit mining for oil sands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), northern Alberta has created an unprecedented industrial scale disturbance whose ecological consequences is not well understood, and requires intensive investigation. This study focused on the temporal dynamics of...
