Abstract: <p>Recent declines in North American shorebird populations could be linked to habitat loss on the non-breeding grounds. Sea-level rise and increased frequency of coastal storms are causing significant erosion of barrier islands, thereby threatening shorebirds who rely on shoreline habitats for foraging. I conducted shorebird surveys on Bulls Island, South Carolina in the winters of 2018 and… more

Name(s): Thesis advisor (ths): Conolly, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Haines, Helen, Degree committee member (dgc): Janz, Lisa, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis presents a palaeotopographic reconstruction of the Burleigh Bay region of Stony Lake (Kawartha Lakes Region, Ontario) from 12,600 cal BP to present. The paleotopographic reconstructions are used to model paleoshoreline locations and archaeological site potential for the Late Paleoindian and early Archaic periods. Isostatic rebound following the end of the last glacial period… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Hudson, Sean, Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis, Degree committee member (dgc): Davy, Christina, Degree committee member (dgc): Beresford, David, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Many rare and elusive species have low detection probabilities, thereby imposing unique challenges to monitoring and conservation. Here, we assess the detection probability of the Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) in contrast to a more common and conspicuous species, the Eastern Gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis). We found that patterns of detection probability differed between… more

Abstract: <p>A consistent provincial approach to capacity planning for rehabilitative care had been </p><p>identified as a critical gap in the field of health care in Ontario (Rehabilitative Care </p><p>Alliance, 2015a). In response, the rehabilitative care alliance (RCA) developed a needs</p><p>based hip fracture capacity planning canvas together with persons and… more
