Climate change is driving the loss of alpine glaciers globally, yet investigations about the water quality of rivers stemming from them are few. In Chapter 2, we provide an overview of a biogeochemical dataset containing 200+ parameters that we collected between 2019-2021 from 14 sampling sites...

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...

Large carnivores have a significant role in ecosystems and their role as apex predators can have cascading effects that influence ecosystem stability. Managing large carnivores requires an understanding of how they use the land and their vital rates, including survival. For cougars (Puma...

Prairie wetlands provide many important ecosystem services including supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, preventing erosion, recharging groundwater, and attenuating floods. However, more than half of prairie wetlands in North America have been lost, primarily due to drainage for...

All multicellular organisms host one or more species of symbiont. Endosymbionts of homeotherms experience relatively constant environments whereas those of ectotherms and all ectosymbionts experience variation in external environment. For ectosymbionts, both the presence of a host and a...

American black bears (Ursus americanus) and grizzly bears (U. arctos) have similar habitat requirements, relying on seasonally available grasses, forbs, fruiting shrubs and trees, and neonate ungulates. To avoid aggressive encounters with grizzly bears, black bears partition habitats spatially...

One of the three largest systems of black-tailed prairie dog (BTPD) colonies is located in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. During the last two decades, the area occupied by these colonies has been highly reduced and fragmented. Previous studies suggested that agriculture, poisoning, cattle...

Understory protection is a harvesting approach that seeks to protect understory conifers during hardwood harvesting in mixedwood forests. While understory protection harvesting has been implemented for over a decade in Alberta, there has been no study of its ecological value to birds. We surveyed...
