Investigating the feasibility of using scent detection dogs to locate bat hibernacula in a coastal temperate rainforest
Little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) populations have dramatically declined in North America as a result of white-nose syndrome, a fungal pathogen. The identification and protection of hibernacula is important to conservation efforts for the species…
Re-inventing an old hit: song evolution within and between populations of white-throated sparrows

Re-inventing an old hit: song evolution within and between populations of white-throated sparrows
Cultural evolution of birdsong occurs when songs change over generations and such changes can spread directionally or via drift within and between populations. The objective of this thesis was to document the emergence and spread of a novel song…

Extirpation of a native population following a stocking program: genetic population structure and demographics of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) in a large impounded watershed
Kokanee, the non-anadromous life history form of Oncorhynchus nerka, use lacustrine habitat in watersheds draining into the north Pacific Ocean. Kokanee have also been widely introduced into reservoirs following impoundment of rivers due to the…

Avian communication networks: how audible are mountain chickadee males during dawn signalling?
My thesis investigates how urban noise influences the relative audibility of songs to female Mountain Chickadees (Poecile gambeli), who assess male signalling at dawn while roosting within the nest cavity. Over two breeding seasons, I monitored…

Evolutionary and functional characterization of oxidative stress proteins in dendroctonus ponderosae hopkins (curculionidae: scolytinae)
Understanding the mountain pine beetle detoxification systems is vital for predicting its continued spread into the novel jack pine host. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted for mountain pine beetle catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide…
Resource use of mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and other sympatric ungulates, in west-central Alberta, Canada.

Resource use of mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and other sympatric ungulates, in west-central Alberta, Canada.
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are declining worldwide. Across Canada, numerous populations have been extirpated over the past 50 years. In many cases, the mechanism of these declines is unsustainable predation exacerbated by apparent competition.…
