Perceptions of ecological risk associated with mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) infestations in Banff and Kootenay National Parks of Canada.
Western Canada is experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of the mountain pine beetle (MPB). The MPB has the potential to impact some of Canada's national parks by affecting park ecosystems and the visitor experience. Controls have been initiated in some parks to lessen the impacts and to prevent the beetle from spreading beyond park boundaries. We examine the perception of ecological risk assoc...

متن کاملRestoration of the food web of an alpine lake following fish stocking
Trout stocking in the mid-1960s eliminated the calanoid copepod Hesperodiaptomus arcticus and other largebodied crustaceans such as Gammarus lacustris, Daphnia middendorffiana, and Daphnia pulex from many alpine lakes in the Rocky Mountain Parks of Canada. H. arcticus frequently dominates the plankton communities of fishless lakes, preying on rotifers and nauplius larvae. Following the extirpat...
متن کاملSpatial decomposition of predation risk using resource selection functions: an example in a wolf-elk predator-prey system
Predation is a fundamental ecological and evolutionary process that varies in space, and the avoidance o f predation risk is o f central importance in foraging theory. While there has been a recent growth of approaches to spatially model predation risk, these approaches lack an adequate mechanistic framework that can be applied to real landscapes. In this paper we show how predation risk can be...
