Mercury bioaccumulation in stream fish from an agriculturally-dominated watershed
Bioaccumulation of mercury in freshwater fish is a complex process driven by environmental and biological factors. In this study, we assessed mercury in fish from four... -
Multiscale drivers of phytoplankton communities in north-temperate lakes
Multiple factors operating across different spatial and temporal scales affect β-diversity, the variation in community composition among sites. Disentangling the relative... -
Can soil invertebrates indicate soil biological quality on well pads...
Integrating soil physico-chemical properties and soil invertebrate bioindicators could prove a practical and robust method for assessing reclamation and soil biological quality... -
Tracing total and dissolved material in a western Canadian basin using...
Highlights •The source dynamics of total and dissolved material were investigated. •Water quality monitoring data was modelled with Deconvolutional-MixSIAR. •A novel approach to... -
A Burning Question: What are the Implications of Forest Fires for Woodland Caribou?
Canada's federal recovery strategy for boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) classifies areas burned by forest fire as disturbed habitat. This assignment of fire... -
Unveiling the recovery dynamics of walleye after the invisible collapse
Walleye (Sander vitreus) populations in Alberta, Canada, collapsed by the mid-1990s and were a case study in the paper Canada’s Recreational Fisheries: The Invisible Collapse?... -
Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds in Rivers Dominated by Petrogenic Sources...
Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) threaten the health of aquatic ecosystems. In northeastern Alberta, Canada, decades of oil sands mining and upgrading activities have... -
Quantifying Meltwater Sources and Contaminant Fluxes from the Athabasca...
Abstract: Glaciers are retreating across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. As this ice volume is lost, trace elements, nutrients, and other contaminants, accumulated from millennia... -
Severe western Canadian wildfire affects water quality even at large basin scales
Highlights •Large rivers show wildfire water quality signatures after precipitation events. •Continuous monitoring captures short-term wildfire impacts on river water quality.... -
Selection of both habitat and genes in specialized and endangered caribou
Genetic mechanisms determining habitat selection and specialization of individuals within species have been hypothesized, but not tested at the appropriate individual level in... -

Chloride inputs to the North Saskatchewan River watershed: the role of road...
Highlights • Deicers often drive freshwater salinization in northern regions of the world. • Less is known in areas where temperatures may be too cold for NaCl to be effective.... -
Natural and anthropogenic impacts on the geochemical composition and metal...
Purpose Surveillance monitoring programs can provide fast, relatively low-cost, synoptic information on key water quality drivers and help inform land management decisions....
