Assessing Algal Community Structure and Nutrient Uptake Kinetics Across a Nutrient Gradient in Agricultural Streams
DownloadFall 2020
Streams provide important ecosystem services, such as the transformation of organic matter and water purification, while transporting water from headwaters to larger receiving waterbodies downstream. Excess nutrients introduced through anthropogenic land use put stress on aquatic ecosystems and...

Biogeochemical impacts of glacial meltwaters across a High Arctic watershed (Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada)
DownloadFall 2018
Climate change across northern latitudes is fundamentally altering the hydrological cycle there, resulting in increased glacial melt, permafrost thaw and precipitation. Whereas enhanced glacial melt has potentially important implications for water quality and productivity in downstream freshwater...

Evaluating the Biogeochemical and Geotechnical Behavior of Oil Sands Tailings in Pit Lakes and Mitigating Pit Lake Turbidity with Biofilms
DownloadFall 2023
Permanent storage and reclamation of oil sands mine waste (fluid fine tailings, FFT) in pit lakes has been proposed by industry. Pit lakes are considered best practice in terms of geotechnical stability, however, there are numerous challenges and knowledge gaps surrounding this proposed oil sands...

Flowering and floral visitation predict changes in community structure provided that mycorrhizas remain intact
Download2018-01-01
Pollination is critical for plant fitness and population dynamics, yet little attention is paid to the role of flowering and plant-pollinator interactions in structuring plant communities, including community responses to environmental change. Changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF),...

Fluvial inorganic carbon cycling across divergently evolving permafrost landscapes (Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada)
DownloadFall 2019
Across the circumpolar north, rapid warming and intensifying hydrologic cycles are accelerating permafrost thaw and strengthening land-freshwater linkages. Among the most significant implications of this change is the mobilization of large amounts of previously sequestered organic and inorganic...

Stream Carbon Flux in the Northern Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest: Seasonal DOC Transport and CO₂ and CH₄ Emissions
DownloadSpring 2020
Streams in British Columbia's humid, organic-rich Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest (PCTR) deliver globally significant yields of soil-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the ocean, which can affect ocean acidification, provide energy to coastal food webs, and off-gas to the atmosphere...

Maldonado, M, Bayer, K, Lopez-Acosta, M
SUMMARY Several inorganic compounds of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are key to ocean ecology because, among other effects, they sustain primary production. After discovering in the 1980s that sponges can be both source and sink of such nutrients, much has been learned, including that fluxes...

Spring 2019
Hagfish are considered the oldest living representatives of the vertebrates and as such are of interest for studies in evolutionary biology. Moreover, hagfish occupy a unique trophic niche wherein they are active predators and benthic scavengers of a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate...
