Oil sands mining in Alberta has disturbed large areas of peatlands, the dominant regional ecosystem type, and no formal strategies exist to reconstruct the landscape. Peatland reclamation is...
Using a telemetry location dataset spanning 1981 – 2018, we tested for changes in prevalence of migratory tactics (resident, migrant) over time, switching between tactics, shifts in seasonal space-use...
iWETLAND: Managing Species at Risk Habitat through Wetland Water Level Citizen Science Presented by Taylor North and the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab iWetland is a citizen science wetland water level...
Boreal peatland ecosystems are generally resilient to low severity wildfire. However, climate change may increase wildfire intensity and frequency, potentially shifting wetlands to less wildfire...
A significant challenge of conservation biology is to preserve species in places where their critical habitat also attracts significant economic interest. The problem is compounded when species...
Linear features are pervasive across the boreal forest of Canada, negatively impacting several wildlife species. Understanding how wildlife responds to different types and characteristics of linear...
Nowhere across Canada is the continued persistence of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) more uncertain than in Alberta due to widespread industrial development. A recent...
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
