Behavioral habitat selection of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in boreal forests
Habitat selection is critical to informing wildlife management and conservation. However, different behaviors require the use of different habitat components. Not considering... -
Less is more? A novel method for identifying and evaluating non-informative...
Purpose Accelerated soil erosion poses a global hazard to soil health. Understanding soil and sediment behaviour through sediment fingerprinting enables the monitoring and... -
An approach to inform air quality management through receptor source...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, exceeded the national Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for 2011–2013. In response, a... -
Remote sensing-derived land surface temperature trends over South Asia
Spatiotemporal changes in land surface temperature (LST) over South Asia were estimated using MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer) data from 2000 to 2021. We... -
Winter Dust Storms Impact the Physical and Biogeochemical Functioning of a...
We found that a winter of abnormally low snowfall and numerous dust storms from eolian processes acting on exposed landscapes (including a major 4-day dust storm while onsite in... -
Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining Contaminates Snowpack across a Broad Region
Mountaintop removal coal mining is a source of downstream pollution. Here, we show that mountaintop removal coal mining also pollutes ecosystems downwind. We sampled regional... -
Native cover indicator for Alberta
Provides documentation on the development of the Native Cover indicator to be applied across the province of Alberta. The intent of the Native Cover indicator is to measure and... -
Genetic network analysis uncovers spatial variation in diversity and...
The conservation of genetic diversity and connectivity is essential for the long-term persistence and adaptive ability of a species. Recent calls have been made for the... -
High genetic load without purging in caribou, a diverse species at risk
Highlights • Caribou are genetically diverse and form nine lineages across North America • Levels of inbreeding vary, with some highly inbred caribou in some locations •... -
Effectiveness of population-based recovery actions for threatened southern...
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this... -
Determining ice-jam stage frequency distributions of an ungauged river reach...
Ice-jam floods are a common, but dangerous natural phenomena occurring in many northern rivers. These events are even more dangerous when only limited gauged river data is... -
Estimating Lake Evaporation for the South Saskatchewan River Basin of Alberta
Evaporation from a reservoir’s surface is an important component of water balance calculations. Using long-term (1955–2020) climate data from Alberta Climate Information... -
Temporal Assessment of GCM-Driven Hydroclimatic Conditions for the Alberta...
Freshwater supplies in most western Canadian watersheds are threatened by the warming of temperatures because it alters the snow-dominated hydrologic patterns that characterize... -
Atmospheric deposition monitoring program: concentrations and trends:...
Historical data collected through the Alberta Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring Program were evaluated to understand the current state, long-term trends, annual and seasonal... -
Long-toed salamander occupancy trends in the Kananaskis
The Alberta Wild Species General Status Listing (GOA 2010) classifies the long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) as Sensitive because the distribution may be declining... -
Wetland water quality in the Athabasca Oil Sands region and its relationship...
Wetlands in the Oil Sands Region of Alberta are vulnerable to direct and indirect effects of human development including land disturbance, hydrologic alteration, and addition of... -
Assessing changes in indicators of fish health measured between 1997 and...
Industrial development in Canada’s oil sands region influences the ambient environment. Some of these influences, such as the atmospheric deposition of emitted particles and... -
Reconstructing historical fish occurrence and introductions in lakes using...
The recovery of DNA preserved in the sediment of aquatic systems (sedDNA) has provided short-term and long-term data on biological groups (e.g., bacteria, phytoplankton,... -
