Abundance, transportation, and preservation of Mysis diluviana eDNA in freshwater ecosystems
(2021)Environmental DNA (eDNA) has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting rare or invasive species, particularly within the Great Lakes and surrounding aquatic ecosystems. Recent work has shown that sedimentary eDNA (sedDNA) ... -
Drought effects on soil enzyme activity
(2021)Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) is a strong predictor for soil health. EEA cycle nutrients within terrestrial systems, processing carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous, while also mineralizing and stabilizing gas. ... -
Plant diversity effects on soil Collembola in boreal forest
(2024)Collembola are one of the most abundant soil fauna in terrestrial ecosystems. They play essential roles in ecosystem processes like litter decomposition. Ongoing biodiversity loss across taxa harms the stability and ... -
Relating eDNA concentrations to Brook Trout abundance and biomass across varying spatial scales in Northern Ontario streams
(2024)Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection has been proposed as a potential method for determining the presence, abundance, and biomass of species within aquatic habitats. However, it is unclear what spatial scale(s) eDNA ... -
The relationship between multifaceted diversity and functioning of Canadian forests under global environmental change
(2024)Human activities have caused biodiversity simplification at local and global scales and raised concerns about potential effects on ecosystem functions and biodiversity conservation. In the past decades, there have been ... -
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in Northern Ontario
(2019)The forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ...
