Applying and Testing a Novel Method to Estimate Animal Density from Motion-triggered Cameras
Resource
Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to...
Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across broad areas...
Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across broad areas...
Are American Pikas (Ochotona princeps) Vulnerable to Climate Change?
Resource
American Pika populations in Alberta will likely be capable of persisting throughout this century, although their survival will depend increasingly on successful vertical migration.
Assessing the Influence of In Situ Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta. 2012 Final Report
Resource
With few exceptions, permeability across in situ developments was the main factor affecting caribou movement. Relationship was non-linear, suggesting a minimum threshold of permeability is needed
Assessing the Influence of Industrial Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region of Alberta: 2011 Final Report
Resource
At current levels of industrial development, pipelines and linear features have a very small negative effect on caribou populations compared to the high levels of predation.
Assisted Dispersal and Retention of Lichen-dominated Biocrust Material for Arctic Restoration
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Association of Environmental Factors with Seasonal Intensity of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae Seropositivity among Arctic Caribou
Resource
Several caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) populations have been declining concurrently with increases in infectious diseases in the Arctic. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a zoonotic bacterium, was first...
Audio Data Compression Affects Acoustic Indices and Reduces Detections of Birds by Human Listening and Automated Recognisers
Resource
Increasing popularity in passive acoustic monitoring and the ease with which researchers can accumulate large quantities of acoustic data has resulted in challenges for audio recording storage...
Automated Classification of Avian Vocal Activity Using Acoustic Indices in Regional and Heterogeneous Datasets
Resource
Acoustic indices combined with clustering and classification approaches have been increasingly used to automate identification of the presence of vocalizing taxa or acoustic events of interest. While...
Baseline States of Organic Constituents in the Athabasca River System Upstream of Fort McMurray
Resource
Investigations were carried out on the Athabasca River upstream of Fort McMurray to determine the baseline quantities of organic constituents and their contribution to the organic water quality
Bathurst Caribou Health Guide
Resource
Visual assessment of caribou health is very difficult. To better understand the current health status of Bathurst caribou, Kaitlyn Dornstauder, a University of Calgary Veterinary student working in...
Behaviour is More Important Than Thermal Performance for an Arctic Host–parasite System Under Climate Change
Resource
An academic paper reporting on combined experimentation and modeling to try to assess the effects of climate change on a common caribou/reindeer gut parasite.
Better Environmental Management Through Monitoring (2013 Conference)
Resource
This set of presentations will introduce you to the wide range of research topics currently being undertaken by the ABMI. Speakers present the state-of-the-science and discuss the implications for Alberta’s land-use managers and policy makers.
Biodiversity Outcomes of Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.
Blog: A New Approach to Habitat Recovery Could Help Threatened Woodland Caribou
Resource
From a caribou’s perspective, seismic lines might be considered effectively ‘restored’—that is, the additional risk associated with them might be considered negligible—once vegetation reaches 50 cm
Blog: A New Wetland Inventory for Alberta
Resource
We’re pleased to announce the release of the ABMI Alberta-wide Wetland Inventory—our most up-to-date and high-resolution wetland data yet.
Blog: ABMI Releases Preliminary Report on the Status of Human Footprint in Alberta
Resource
From1999 to 2015, human activity in Alberta visibly converted over 23,000 km2 of native ecosystems into residential, recreational, or industrial landscapes
Blog: Canadian Scientists Collaborate to Map Biodiversity and the Human Footprint
Resource
With the support of Alberta Environment and Parks, the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has become the trusted source for data about habitat, species, and the human footprint.
