Factors driving switches in the primary producer communities of shallow lakes of the Boreal Plains, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2012
The mechanisms that contribute to the frequent switching of primary producer communities in shallow lakes on the Boreal Plains of Alberta, Canada were explored. The lakes tend to be clear and macrophyte-rich (61% of lakes) or turbid and phytoplankton-rich (30% of lakes). The study is based on...

Habitat selection and food-web relations of Horned Grebes (Podiceps auritus) and other aquatic birds on constructed wetlands in the Peace Parkland, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
I investigated if constructed wetlands provide breeding habitat for the Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus) in northwest Alberta. Over two years, I conducted bird surveys of 201 borrow-pits (ponds created during road construction) and 18 natural wetlands and collected data on local habitat and...
