Application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to Oil Sands Environmental Monitoring
Resource
This report presents a comprehensive review of industrial applications of an emerging environmental monitoring technology called Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and a WSN installed at Coal Valley Mine
Applications and Costs of Wildlife Habitat Reclamation
Resource
The costs and methods of wildlife habitat reclamation are discussed for three examples. The first example, the Cascade Landfill site in Banff National Park, illustrates the approach and costs of...
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
Abstract 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...
Aquatic Fate of Fish Tainting Compounds in the Athabasca River
Resource
Relationship between hydrocarbons present naturally, or introduced due to surface oil sands mining and upgrading activities, and their potential bioaccumulation and tainting of the commercial fishery

Assessing Spatial Factors Affecting Predation Risk to Boreal Caribou Calves: Implications for Management
Resource
In 2013, we completed the last year of data collection for the project. Across the project’s three years, we collected GPS data from 57 female caribou, 19 wolves (Canis lupus) and 19 black bears...
Assessing the Health-fitness Dynamics of Endangered Mountain Caribou and the Influence of Maternal Penning
Resource
Abstract The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Assisted Dispersal and Retention of Lichen-dominated Biocrust Material for Arctic Restoration

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...
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...
Avian Colonization of Reclaimed Areas on the Suncor Lease
Resource
Reclamation activities on the Suncor lease have resulted in the development of a variety of habitat types over the past nineteen years. Many reclamation areas assume a patchy habitat type which...
Avian Response to Wildfire Severity in a Northern Boreal Region
Resource
Research Highlights: The effects of fire on birds in the most northern parts of the boreal forest are understudied. We found distinct differences in bird communities with increasing fire severity in...
