Dragonfly mercury monitoring in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Chetelat, John
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5648. The main objective of this project is to measure mercury in dragonfly larvae from a variety of aquatic ecosystems in the Yellowknife area. This information will be collected as part of a Canada-wide project to evaluate geographic and temporal patterns of mercury bioaccumulation. The first priority will be to inve...


Butterfly Inventory in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Layberry, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Butterflies are easily studied and can provide valuable information of changes occuring in northern ecosystems - including climate changes, and habitat changes. Many areas of the NWT have few studies on insects; therefore, this inventory work can inprove the baseline information of these species. The main investigator will travel with other NWT biologists to remote study sites and near comm...


The molecular population genetics of the arctic-alpine ground-beetle species Amara alpina
Principal Investigator: Schwert, Donald P.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1992
Summary: The sample of arctic-alpine ground-beetles will be collected under rocks and by pitfall traps (dixie cups placed in 8 cm diameter drilled holes) in the tundra habitat. All rocks will be replaced exactly and pitfall trap holes refilled with their soil plugs. No chemicals will be used in any of the trapping or collecting. Specimens will be analysed using DNA techniques which include RLPF's and PC...


Mosquito Baseline Study for the City of Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Ellis, R.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The mosquito baseline study is aimed at determining which mosquito species breed in and around Yellowknife. While sampling for mosquito larvae, samples of non-target (i.e., other) insect species will also be taken to determine which of these species are natural predators or parasites of mosquitoes, or should be protected for other reasons. The City of Yellowknife will be provided with recommenda...
