The Limestone Barrens of Newfoundland are a coastal ecosystem hosting many rare plant species, including the endangered Braya fernaldii and Braya longii. In addition to habitat loss and human disturbance, these plants are chronically affected by fungal infections and foliar damage by insect pests. To assist species recovery efforts across their historic range, seeds have […]

This research project aims to create a model to understand how nature benefits humans through services like pollination, food production, water supply, and soil health in the agricultural landscapes of the Canadian prairies. Using advanced technology, the project will map these services and study their complex relationships, as well as potential trade-offs and collaborations. The […]

The Salish Sea contains many shipping routes frequently used by the endangered Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW). To protect the declining population of SRKW, current efforts are focused on limiting encounters between SRKW and vessels. To acoustically locate SRKW in the Salish Sea, detectors must be capable of distinguishing SRKW and Bigg’s killer whale vocalizations. […]
