Technical and technological alternatives for aerial moose (Alces alces) survey
(2017)Moose (Alces alces) aerial surveys provide the information needed for effective management only when they are accurate and precise. I aimed to identify gaps in and improve understanding of aerial moose surveys in North ... -
Temporal patterns of ungulate vehicle collisions in the Thunder Bay area
(2023)Rising road densities, higher vehicle speed limits, and increased traffic volumes, combined with growth in the density of various deer species, have increased the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions across the world. The ... -
Testing local adaptation in five populations of Hyalella azteca in northern Alberta’s oil sands region
(2015)Canada’s oil sands hold the third largest petroleum reserves worldwide. Rapid economic growth has led to increased exploitation of the surrounding boreal forest despite limited understanding of the environmental effects ... -
Traditional agroforestry systems as habitat for avian species: assessing their role in conservation
(2019)The objective of this study was to explore the role of traditional agroforestry systems in Ecuador, called chakras, in the conservation of avian species. Eleven examples of chakra, including plantations of yuca (Manihot ... -
Trends in breeding propensity of Common Loons (Gavia immer) in relation to lake water clarity in and around Algonquin Provincial Park
(2023)Productivity of Common Loons has been in decline across most of Canada for several decades. Many environmental factors and human impacts on the breeding grounds may be causing the decline, and these factors are known to ... -
Updates from camera traps used to monitor the elk population in the Lake of the Woods area
(2022)Elk (Cervus elaphus L. canadensis), once widespread across North America, severely declined due to overhunting and habitat conversion in the 1900s. The Lake of the Woods are was one of four locations chosen to reintroduce ... -
The use of citizen science data to predict the winter distribution of the snowy owl in Ontario
(2023)As an Anishinaabe person and environmental scientist, I feel I have an inherent duty to be a steward of the environment. I chose to conduct research on Snowy Owls after learning about the conservation issues affecting ... -
Using a novel methodology to test whether group size affects foraging behaviour in elk
(2012-11-10)Group formation is one of the most striking patterns in the natural world. Elk (Cervus elaphus and C. canadensis) are well known for their social and gregarious nature, but motivations for this behaviour are not fully ... -
Using Canadian migration monitoring network data to assess population changes in Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis)
(2023)The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) has been listed since 2010 as Threatened according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) due to significant and long-term declines in the ... -
Using coarse-scale physical lake characteristics to model lake sturgeon (acipenser fulvescens) feeding habitat and their prey
(2012)Coarse-scale, physical lake characteristics (lake fetch, shoreline exposure, and littoral-zone slope) were investigated as to their ability to predict benthic macroinvertebrate communities and lake sturgeon feeding along ... -
Wildlife management on urban golf courses: the case of the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club
(2023)Urban development has put increasing pressure on public greenspaces and the local wildlife populations encompassing them. Golf courses are an accessible way for the public to view the natural environment and wildlife ...
