Collecting of Parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae)
chercheur principal: Goulet, Henri
Année(s) de permis: 2010
Résumé: The research plan is to collect specimens of as many species (named or not) of the wasp subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to get recent and properly preserved specimens for DNA barcoding and taxonomic resolution. The goal is to know more about the diversity of these wasps and to be able to compare the recently wasp fauna with re-identified specimens sampled in the 1950’s. To achi...


Botanical collecting - Dempster Highway and Mackenzie Delta
chercheur principal: Darnell, David M.
Année(s) de permis: 2009
Résumé: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No.1095. The objective of this research is to obtain specimens of the major plant species comprising the plant communities found in the northwestern Northwest Territories, especially those riparian ones not found in the adjacent Yukon Territory. The researchers will employ standard botanical field techniques and equipment...


Do the Mosquitoes in the NWT have Wolbachia?
chercheur principal: Hansen, Tamara A
Année(s) de permis: 2008
Résumé: The objective of this research is to collect mosquitoes from the Inuvik area and perform a set of genetic tests to see if they are infected with a particular bacterium called Wolbachia. This bacterium is harmless to humans but affects the mating process of mosquitoes by killing the sperm of an infected male. A presence of Wolbachia has not been detected in the NWT as of yet, but if detected coul...


Loche Liver Study
chercheur principal: Thompson, Amy L
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007
Résumé: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778. This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...


Impacts of Oil and Gas Activity on the Peoples in the Arctic Using a Multiple Securities Perspective
chercheur principal: Elliott, Milissa A
Année(s) de permis: 2008
Résumé: This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling. Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...


Recent changes in carbon source-sink relationships and greenhouse gas emissions in forest and peatland ecosystems along the Mackenzie Valley region of Canada
chercheur principal: Bhatti, Jagtar
Année(s) de permis: 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
Résumé: The objective of this research is to assess variations and processes controlling CO2, CH4 and N2O dynamics along the Mackenzie Valley, to investigate the amount and character of greenhouse gases released, and to understand conditions controlling soil GHG emissions. Soil gas sample tubes will be sampled on a seasonal basis for gas concentration (CH4, N2O, CO2) and isotope ratios. The response of...


Traditional knowledge on Loche
chercheur principal: Thompson, Amy L
Année(s) de permis: 2007
Résumé: This project is divided into two phases: Year 1: Traditional knowledge interviews (this licence) will be conducted in each of the four GSA communities. The objective is to document traditional knowledge about loche biology and loche liver condition. Specifically, questions will be asked about loche spawning, movements, predator-prey relationships, habitat, historic changes, loche livers and tra...


2007 Canada Western Arctic Germplasm Collection
chercheur principal: Wright, Stoney J
Année(s) de permis: 2007 2006
Résumé: The primary objective of the fieldwork is to collect small samples of seed from grass species in six primary Genera: Festuca, Poa, Deschampsis, Leymus, Elymus and Alopecurus. Other species may be collected. Wild mustard species (Crucifer species) will also be collected. The collections will be compared visually and genetically to other collections of the same or closely related species from Alaska...


Surveys of Rare and Exotic Plants in the NWT
chercheur principal: Oldham, Micheal
Année(s) de permis: 2006
Résumé: Indigenous rare plants exist in the NWT, including in parts of the Mackenzie Mountains and the Beaufort Sea coast (especially in areas that were not glaciated). Alien species may be spreading along roads. There are 94 species of alien plants, transported to the territories by human activity. Surveys pf alien and rare plants will be conducted along roads in the North, South Slave and DehCho reg...


Local and Regional-Scale Societal Dynamics in Grizzly Bear Conservation
chercheur principal: Clark, Douglas A.
Année(s) de permis: 2006 2003
Résumé: Government agencies responsible for grizzly bear management have made significant investments in biological studies; however, wildlife management programs based solely on biology, without understanding the human side of grizzly bear management, run the risk of creating conflicts. People who share the land with bears are especially affected by these decisions. These conflicts can waste time and mon...
