As global climate change progresses, wildlife management will benefit from knowledge of demographic responses to climatic variation, particularly for species already endangered...

Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly...

Endangered species policies and their associated recovery documents and management actions do not always sufficiently address the importance of migratory behaviour and seasonal...

Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies...

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?...

Myxobolus cerebralis is the parasite causing whirling disease, which has dramatic ecological impacts due to its potential to cause high mortality in salmonids. The large-scale...

Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) threaten the health of aquatic ecosystems. In northeastern Alberta, Canada, decades of oil sands mining and upgrading activities have...

This report presents the methods used to generate the web-based Condition on Environment (CoE) content published for chloride (Cl-) concentrations in the surface water of major...

Highlights • New geospatial method to optimize water monitoring programs or design new networks. • Catchment Structural Units (CSU) quantify key landuse/landcover, geology,...

Abstract: Salinization is increasingly recognized as a global issue. However, the relative importance of different drivers across a broad range of ions and ecosystems is not...

This Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) lotic quality control report investigates the bias and variability of data generated from the Long Term River Network (LTRN) and...

Abstract: Fish consumption advisories for mercury (Hg) are common in rivers, highlighting connections between landscape sources of Hg and downstream fluvial ecosystems. Though...

Abstract: Glaciers are retreating across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. As this ice volume is lost, trace elements, nutrients, and other contaminants, accumulated from millennia...

Highlights •Large rivers show wildfire water quality signatures after precipitation events. •Continuous monitoring captures short-term wildfire impacts on river water quality....

Genetic mechanisms determining habitat selection and specialization of individuals within species have been hypothesized, but not tested at the appropriate individual level in...

Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest...

Wide-ranging animals, including migratory species, are significantly threatened by the effects of habitat fragmentation and habitat loss. In the case of terrestrial mammals,...

This document will outline specifics with regards to portable sampling analysis utilizing and operating the Thermo-Miran SapphIRE. The intent is to provide operating procedures...

To obtain timely data for the purpose of air quality assessment, air quality trend reporting, air quality index reporting and to meet the requirements for inclusion of the data...

The Puregas and Bendix model air dryers are designed to effectively remove moisture or other unwanted components from a compressed air stream. They separate the various...
