Name(s): Creator (cre): Millward, Brian, Thesis advisor (ths): Schaefer, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Mahoney, Shane, Degree committee member (dgc): Franklin, Steven, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>While the harvest of mammals is monitored in each jurisdiction across Canada and the USA, there has been no analysis of this wild harvest at a continental scale across North America. The recreational wild harvest of large mammals varies geographically across North America, and I hypothesized that this variation is influenced by both anthropogenic and other environmental factors on the… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Buckley, Janette, Thesis advisor (ths): Beresford, David, Degree committee member (dgc): Schaefer, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Nol, Erica, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis focused on expanding knowledge of Hybomitra, Chrysops and Tabanus (Diptera: Tabanidae) distributions north of Lake Nipigon, Ontario, in a managed boreal forest. As land use and climate changes accelerate, there is increased pressure to increase knowledge from which to monitor changes. In 2011 and 2012, 8928 individuals representing, 44 species were captured using sweep… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Boudreau, Melanie R., Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis L, Degree committee member (dgc): Schaefer, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Burness, Gary, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Predation risk can elicit a range of responses in prey, but to date little is known about breadth of potential responses that may arise under realistic field conditions and how such responses are linked, leaving a fragmented picture of risk-related consequences on individuals. We increased predation risk in free-ranging snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) during two consecutive summers by… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Vizza, Kayla Marie, Thesis advisor (ths): Beresford, David V, Degree committee member (dgc): Schaefer, James, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Bees (clade Anthophila), are poorly studied in northern Canada, as these regions can be difficult to access and have a short growing season. This study examined bees from two such regions: Ontario's Far North, and Akimiski Island, Nunavut. I present this study as the largest biogeographical study of bees performed in these remote areas to enhance knowledge of northern native bees. I… more
