Factors Driving Territory Size and Breeding Success in a Threatened Migratory Songbird, the Canada Warbler
Resource
Successful conservation of migratory birds demands we understand how habitat factors on the breeding grounds influences breeding success. Multiple factors are known to directly influence breeding...
Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat Investigations in the Mackay River Watershed of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
General objective of this study was to describe the baseline states of the fish component of the MacKay River watershed, the largest basin on the west side of the Athabasca River
Fishery Resources of the Athabasca River Downstream of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Volume I
Resource
The fish populations of the Athabasca River downstream of Fort McMurray were sampled during the open-water period in 1976 and 1977. Twenty-seven fish species were identified from the Athabasca River,
Fishery Resources of the Athabasca River Downstream of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Volume II
Resource
Results of work done in 1976, the first year of a two-year study intended to evaluate and describe the baseline state of the fish resources of the Athabasca River downstream of Fort McMurray
Fishery Resources of the Athabasca River Downstream of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Volume III
Resource
During 1977, the second year of a two-year study, the fish populations of the Athabasca Rive: were investigated in two general areas downstream of Fort McMurray from mid-April to early November
Forest Landscape Restoration Legislation and Policy: A Canadian Perspective
Resource
Restoring degraded ecosystems is an urgent policy priority to regain ecological integrity, advance sustainable land use management, and mitigate climate change. This study examined current legislation...
Genetic Influences on Male and Female Variance in Reproductive Success and Implications for the Recovery of Severely Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Assessment of three endangered caribou subpopulations using non-invasive genetic sampling to assess demographic population changes.
Genomic Population Structure and Inbreeding History of Lake Superior Caribou
Resource
Abstract Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) have experienced dramatic declines in both range and population size across Canada over the past century. Boreal caribou ( R. t. caribou), 1 of the 12...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Relationships and Management of Terrestrial Birds in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Breeding bird studies using the mapping method were combined with intensive habitat quantification to determine the relative values to breeding avifauna of 21 habitat types
Habitat Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Resource
We fitted collars on 35 adult caribou to assess seasonal habitat selection at 2 spatial scales, current and future population trends, and interactions with the neighboring migratory caribou herd.
Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River
High Genetic Load Without Purging in Caribou, a Diverse Species at Risk
Resource
High intra-specific genetic diversity is associated with adaptive potential, which is key for resilience to global change. However, high variation may also support deleterious alleles through genetic...

In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
