The Density of Anthropogenic Features Explains Seasonal and Behaviour-based Functional Responses in Selection of Linear Features by a Social Predator
Resource
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate access and travel efficiency for predators, and can influence predator distribution and encounter rates with prey. We used GPS collar data from eight wolf...
The Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks and their Treatment Methods on the Abundance of Plant-foods Important to Caribou and Grizzly Bears
Resource
In Alberta, Canada, mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestations overlap with threatened caribou and grizzly bear ranges. While MPB is a natural part of the ecosystem, increased intensity of infestation...
Toward the Restoration of Caribou Habitat: Understanding Factors Associated with Human Motorized Use of Legacy Seismic Lines
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...
Towards the Restoration of Caribou Habitat: Understanding Factors Associated with Human Motorized Use of Legacy Seismic Lines
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...
Understory Forage on Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the fRI Research Caribou Program investigates seismic lines for their abundance of forage plants, which could attract predators of caribou such as bears as well as alternate prey for...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices - Summary
Resource
In Canada, the young forests created by harvesting have shifted the distribution and abundance of deer, elk, and moose. A consequence is unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators like bears...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices
Resource
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator– prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose)...
Unravelling the Impacts of Disturbance Type and Regeneration on Movement of Threatened Species
Resource
Impact of disturbance on the daily movement of two large threatened mammals, and examined the nuances of movement response to type and regeneration of disturbance across seasons.
Vegetation Growth on Seismic Lines in West-Central and North-Western Alberta
Resource
Seismic lines are slow to recover naturally, and many seismic lines need to be restored to contribute towards caribou recovery. Caribou predators use seismic lines to travel throughout caribou ranges...
Video - A Drainage Network Model for Regional-scale Land-use Planning in Alberta's Foothills
Resource
Dr. Richard McCleary draws the links between what we see in the field to the maps we have for planning and points out that the information we need for watershed assessment and riparian zones is the same.
Video - A Framework for Assessing Cumulative Effects on Watershed Values
Resource
This presentation describes a method of assessing cumulative effects, taking into account the many drivers or pressures on the landscape and their effects on watershed processes.
Video - Adaptive Management and Native Fish Conservation Planning
Resource
Dr. Lorin Hicks talks about the Montana example of habitat conservation planning in forestry management.
Video - Alberta's Watershed Management Symposium: Flood and Drought Mitigation
Resource
This public symposium covers Alberta's progress to improve its flood and drought resiliency, including the role of natural solutions. NOTE: This is a 4 hour video with multiple presenters
Video - An Approach to Predict Dewatering and Material Performance of PF-MFT
Resource
Lois Boxill is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer with SRK Consulting. She describes the concepts and testing involved in her Ph.D thesis studying how mature fine tailings behave after treatment with...
Video - An Ecosystem Approach to Natural Landscapes Management
Resource
Dr. David Andison describes how an ecosystem approach would work with woodland caribou habitat recovery. At the core of a ecosystem management approach is the question: "What would Mother Nature Do?"
Video - An Ecosystem Approach to Natural Landscapes Management
Resource
Dr. David Andison is program lead of the fRI Healthy Landscapes program. He begins by explaining the "Why" of ecosystem management and how current approaches to land management fragments the landscape...
Video - Assessing a Novel Technology Using a Tailings Management Simulation Model
Resource
Dr. Nicholas Beier is a Research Associate with the Oil Sands Tailings Research Facility, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. He describes his doctoral thesis research using tailings management...
Video - Assessing Cumulative Ecological Effects: The Changing Management Landscape
Resource
Jim Schieck, research scientist at Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures, discusses how cumulative effects are currently being assessed in Alberta. He talks about the pilot study of how to use...
