Fall 2021
This thesis investigates the experimental mechanical behavior of polymeric foams, specifically studying the effects of microstructural features (pore size and wall thickness), foam density, and strain-rate-dependency on their stress-strain, lateral-axial strain, and failure. This thesis explores...

Factors Influencing Bioacoustically Derived Arrival Timing of Three Migrant Bird Species in the Western Boreal Forest
DownloadFall 2021
Habitat alteration is the leading cause of bird population declines globally. Therefore, understanding the processes influencing habitat selection are important for the identification and protection of important areas for birds. Long-distance migrant birds are particularly vulnerable and are...

Fall 2018
Reliable population density estimates are critical for ecological research and species management but can be difficult to obtain. Sampling methods like noninvasive genetic sampling and remote camera traps, combined with appropriate statistical models, provide opportunities to estimate density...

What does a detection mean? Spatial and behavioural context improves the use of passive acoustic monitoring for the conservation of a wide-ranging bird
DownloadFall 2021
The culture of ecology is shifting towards collaborative, integrative approaches that use ‘big data’ to solve big problems. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has the potential to play a role in this new paradigm because it uses in-situ autonomous recording units (ARUs) to collect a permanent...
