The Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Evolution of Thescelosauridae (Ornithischia) from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Thescelosauridae is a basal neornithischian dinosaur clade that flourished in the Cretaceous from the Aptian to the Maastrichtian. This diverse but poorly studied group of small-bodied herbivores is divided taxonomically into Orodrominae and Thescelosaurinae, and existed in Asia and North and...

The potential influence of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) control harvesting on grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) food supply and habitat conditions in Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
In response to the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) threat in Alberta, forest companies plan to surge harvest 75% of susceptible (mature) lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) stands over 20 years. To assess potential changes to grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) habitat, I projected food...

The role of Albertan anglers in tracking and controlling the invasive Prussian carp Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782)
DownloadFall 2021
The recent invasion of the Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) in freshwater environments in central Canada threatens native aquatic species and ecosystems. The fish’s hardiness, fecundity, and monozygotic reproduction pose challenges to their eradication, making population suppression and...

The Role of Apoptosis and Necrosis in Age-Dependent Enzymatic Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Individual Skeletal Muscle Fibers
DownloadSpring 2017
Aging is associated with the functional decline of cells, tissues and organs affecting the lifespan of all organisms. Age-associated changes to the skeletal muscle such as decline in muscle mass and function is termed as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia results from fiber atrophy and loss of myofibers. We...
