Conservation of boreal moth communities in the mixedwood boreal forests of northwestern Alberta: Impacts of green tree retention and slash-burning
DownloadFall 2012
Green tree retention (GTR), which involves leaving dispersed or clustered live trees on harvested stands, is being adopted as an alternative to clear-cutting, and to conserve biodiversity on managed forests. This thesis examines the post-harvest (7-10yrs) recovery of boreal moths following...

Impacts of aggregated retention harvesting on the diversity patterns of nocturnal moth species assemblages in the mixedwood boreal forest of northwestern Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
The loss of mature forest habitat from forest harvesting represents a substantial threat to the diversity of nocturnal boreal forest moth assemblages. In this study, I used spatial patterns of species diversity to quantify the effects of aggregated green tree retention harvesting on the diversity...
