Two reclaimed coal mines in west-central Alberta host a complex assemblage of large-bodied predator and prey populations, including cougars (Puma concolor), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), elk (Cervus elaphus), and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). The presence of ungulate and predator...

Evolutionary quantitative genetics and genomics applied to the study of sexually dimorphic traits in wild bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
DownloadSpring 2011
The independent evolution of the sexes may often be constrained if male and female homologous traits share a similar genetic architecture. Thus, cross-sex genetic covariance is assumed to play a key role in the evolution of sexual dimorphism (SD) with consequent impacts on sexual selection,...

Horns and hotspots: detecting change in mountain sheep populations over large spatiotemporal scales
DownloadSpring 2020
Long-term data is essential for addressing questions about how populations change over time in response to environmental variability, and natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Two species of mountain sheep (Ovis spp.) in Canada have been monitored over several decades and provided the data...

Resilient Space: Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) Ecological Resilience in the Northern Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2016
Abstract Ecological resilience was defined, reviewed and discussed by synthesis of theory, concepts and empirical evidence presented in the primary literature (Chapter 1). Ecological resilience is concerned with ecological functions and the desirability of alternate states. Management and...
