A pilot scale constructed wetland was built at the Strachan Gas Plant to evaluate its ability to treat dissolved phase hydrocarbons in groundwater. The overall objective was to assess the feasibility...
Critical Summer Foraging Tradeoffs in a Subarctic Ungulate
Resource
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
