Intrinsic Traits of Woodland Caribou Rangifer tarandus Calves Depredated by Black Bears Ursus americanus and Coyotes Canis latrans
Resource
Individuals in substandard physical condition are predicted to be more vulnerable to predation. Support for this prediction is inconsistent partly as a result of differences across systems in the life...
Large Animal Models for Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since...

Peatland Pools are Tightly Coupled to the Contemporary Carbon Cycle
Resource
Peatlands are globally important stores of soil carbon (C) formed over millennial timescales but are at risk of destabilization by human and climate disturbance. Pools are ubiquitous features of many...
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
