The report describes sport fish losses due to entrainment in major water diversions from the Bow River between Calgary and the Bassano Dam. Fish entrainment was initially...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that infects cervid species by direct and environmental transmission and is invariably fatal. CWD spread can be promoted by the...

The frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as heat waves are increasing globally, revealing ecological responses that provide valuable insights toward the...

Wetlands globally have and continue to undergo modification from anthropogenic and natural environmental factors. To bridge this gap, this study utilised a GIS-based approach to...

Optimal foraging theory (OFT) and the energy maximization hypothesis (EMH) have long been essential when examining wildlife habitat selection. At high latitudes and altitudes,...

Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining across much of their distribution in Canada in response to habitat alteration, leading to unsustainable predation,...

Coexistence between humans and wildlife is necessary for many conservation goals but is difficult to achieve in landscapes with increasing human populations and species that are...

Wolverines (Gulo gulo) are a circumboreal species that has experienced substantial range reduction worldwide. In Canada, the wolverine has been extirpated entirely from the...

The 2024 Critical Review (CR, Driscoll et al. Citation2024a) details current understanding and uncertainties on the sources, transformations, and effects of atmospheric reduced...

The McLeod River headwaters originate in the Rocky Mountains in west-central Alberta and join the Athabasca River near Whitecourt. Coal mining has occurred in the McLeod...

Mountaintop removal coal mining impairs downstream ecosystems through the delivery of nutrients, ions, and heavy-metals. Here, we show that this mining also impacts ecosystems...

Mountaintop removal coal mining leaves a legacy of disturbed landscapes and abandoned infrastructure with clear impacts on water resources; however, the intensity and...

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging,...

Most of the globe has experienced significant warming trends that have been attributed to anthropogenic climate change. However, these rates of warming are also influenced by...

Significant advances in field monitoring, laboratory experiments and computational modelling of river ice processes havebeen made in the past few decades. Different ice processes,...

Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk...

Conservation breeding programs are increasingly used as recovery actions for wild animals; bringing founders into captivity to rear captive populations for future reintroduction...
