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...

Fall 2016
As resource exploitation and development expands in northern Canada, threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater systems increase. In Canada, developments that could negatively affect aquatic ecosystems require offsetting or compensation measures. As a result of diamond mine development, a...

Fall 2014
The development of the Diavik diamond mine destroyed pristine lakes and streams in Barrenlands region of northern Canada. Subsequently, several fish habitat compensation projects were undertaken to offset these losses. The M-Lakes project was intended to enhance the productive capacity of a...

Assessing seascape-wide ecological connectivity in support of conservation and restoration efforts in the Florida Keys, USA
DownloadSpring 2022
Multi-habitat use is a widespread strategy for marine organisms, including numerous coral reef fish and invertebrate species of ecological and economic importance. Through daily, seasonal, or ontogenetic migrations, these species play vital roles in maintaining functional connectivity, i.e., the...

Assessing Social Behaviour, Ontogenetic Change and Taxonomic status in a Juvenile Gorgosaurus libratus (Dinosauria; Theropoda; Tyrannosauridae): A multidisciplinary analysis
DownloadFall 2015
The sparseness of the fossil record and the subjectivity of interpreting behaviour from morphological and taphonomic evidence have impeded studies on the behaviour of juvenile theropod dinosaurs. Most evidence for social behaviour in juvenile dinosaurs comes from multi individual bone beds or...

Assessing Spatial and Temporal Variation in Source Water Quality and Drinking Water Treatability Across a Gradient of Forest Harvest on Vancouver Island, BC
DownloadFall 2021
On Canada’s Pacific Coast, forestry is integral to society. Although economically important, harvesting practices may alter source waters that originate in forested watersheds through changes in suspended solids (SS) and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Each of these metrics has the potential to...

Fall 2021
Streams provide essential ecosystem services including nutrient cycling and uptake, organic matter processing and ecosystem production and respiration. Stream ecosystem functioning provides an integrated metric of biological structures and processes that can respond to anthropogenic land use...

Assessing stress in western Hudson Bay polar bears using hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker
DownloadFall 2015
The development of novel biomarkers to help assess whether polar bear (Ursus maritimus) health is impacted by long-term physiological stress associated with climate change represents an emerging area of research. With progressively greater reductions in sea ice cover and a corresponding decrease...
