Fall 2010
High-resolution regional climate simulations of the Karakoram, Himalaya have been performed for investigation into the atmospheric dynamics in this region, and their role in the Karakoram’s snowfall accumulation and glacial evolution. It has been seen through a combination of field measurements...

The Effect of Water Limitation on Volatile Emission, Tree Defense Response, and Brood Success of Dendroctonus ponderosae in Two Pine Hosts, Lodgepole, and Jack Pine
Download2016
Lusebrink, Inka, Erbilgin, Nadir, Evenden, Maya L.
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) has recently expanded its range from lodgepole pine forest into the lodgepole × jack pine hybrid zone in central Alberta, within which it has attacked pure jack pine. This study tested the effects of water limitation on tree defense response...

Studies have found that belief in anthropogenic climate change, and approval of policies to combat it, are lower in Alberta compared to the rest of Canada. This paper expands on previous research by examining how the framing of climate change by Alberta politicians changed over time, and why. I...

The interactive effects of climate, social structure, and life history on the population dynamics of hoary marmots (Marmota caligata)
DownloadFall 2010
I used 8 years of mark-recapture data to test alternative hypotheses about the relative influence of winter climate, social structure, and life history on survival, reproduction, and population dynamics of hoary marmots (Marmota caligata) in the southwest Yukon. Climate, characterized by the...

The lodgepole x jack pine hybrid zone in Alberta, Canada: A stepping stone for the mountain pine beetle on its journey east across the Boreal forest?

Evenden, Maya L., Erbilgin, Nadir, Lusebrink, Inka
Historical data show that outbreaks of the tree killing mountain pine beetle are often preceded by periods of drought. Global climate change impacts drought frequency and severity and is implicated in the range expansion of the mountain pine beetle into formerly unsuitable habitats. Its expanded...

Mating systems evolve in response to factors that influence the distribution and availability of mates. In turn mating systems can influence species life histories as a result of sexual selection. Most of what is known about sexual selection in large mammals comes from long-term studies of...

The response of Tropical Dry Forests to meteorological drought and El Niño Southern Oscillation
DownloadSpring 2020
As a result of economic pressures from agricultural development, timber extraction, tourism and the expansion of cattle ranching, Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) are considered one of the most threatened and least protected ecosystems in the neotropics. Interacting with these human-induced effects,...

The role of historical fire disturbance in the carbon dynamics of the pan-boreal region: A process-based analysis
Download2007
Apps, M., Zhuang, Q., Burnside, T.J., Shvidenko, A., Flannigan, M., McAllister, J., Wirth, C., Clein, J.S., Balshi, M.S., Kurz, W.A., Kicklighter, D.W., Harden, J., McGuire, A.D., Kasischke, E., Melillo, J.
Wildfire is a common occurrence in ecosystems of northern high latitudes, and changes in the fire regime of this region have consequences for carbon feedbacks to the climate system. To improve our understanding of how wildfire influences carbon dynamics of this region, we used the process-based...
