Addressing Indigenous community concerns of lake health by assessing water quality in Constance Lake, ON and biomarker responses in freshwater mussels, Pyganodon grandis and Lampsilis siliquoidea
(2023)Constance Lake First Nation has had concerns regarding the health of a culturally significant lake, Constance Lake, for several years. There are several external stressors to this lake including urbanization and forestry, ... -
Characterizing the flow regime in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) incubation habitats and the implications for management in a hydro-regulated river
(2018)Hydropower accounts for more than one third of Ontario Power Generation’s electrical production. Hydroelectric development often occurs on rivers that also support recreational fisheries. The construction and operation of ... -
Density-dependent habitat selection alters fitness in a clonal hexapod
(2019)Density-dependent habitat selection shapes the distribution and abundance of organisms and thus informs our understanding of the eco-evolutionary process. When habitat choice is contingent on an individual’s expectation ... -
Floristic composition and functional stability of black spruce-Kalmia shrub savannah
(2023)Scope: In eastern Canada, black spruce (Picea mariana)-Kalmia angustifolia forest revert into forest, or become Kalmia heath, or Kalmia-spruce shrub savannah (SS) depending on fire severity. My main research objective ... -
Recovering the proteome of archived biomedical specimens
(2021)While several proteomic studies have undertaken the challenge of analyzing formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, few have developed optimized protocols for studying FFPE human brain tissue. This study will ... -
Utilization of hydrodynamic modeling in predicting water quality and Brook Trout habitat: reclamation of a mine impacted Boreal Shield Lake
(2020)Mining operations in Ontario are subject to regulatory limits on effluent release into surrounding waterbodies designed to preserve aquatic life. However, said guidelines may not always be enough to prevent damage to the ...
