Carbon Cycling Linkages of Permafrost Systems [CYCLOPS]
chercheur principal: Williams, Mathew
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012
Résumé: The ultimate aim of the proposed project is to develop and evaluate a detailed process-based model of vegetation-soil-permafrost interactions using data collected through directed field campaigns in the discontinuous and sporadic permafrost zones of western Canada. The research team will (i) elucidate the role of plant biodiversity in controlling permafrost status in contrasting ecosystems with di...


Ecological Structure of Northern Arthropods: Assessing community structure and biodiversity across an environmental gradient
chercheur principal: Buddle, Chris
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are: (1) To test how and to what degree the structure of arthropod communities changes between the northern boreal and sub-arctic zones. This will provide us with a contemporary geographic profile of species and group distributions as well as estimates of diversity. (2) To use molecular genetic techniques to aid in species identification and to help expl...


A phylogenetic and phylogeographic study of predaceous diving beetles in the Nearctic with a focus on the tribe Agabini (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Colymbetinae).
chercheur principal: Venables, Chandra
Année(s) de permis: 2011
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to: 1) establish evolutionary relationships of diving beetles in the Nearctic, in addition to identifying colonization routes for exemplars in the tribe Agabini; 2) assess genetic diversity of target species and among-population genetic mixing, and compare these data to historical data (where possible) with an aim at assessing latitudinal and historica...


Insect Biodiversity and Biogeography along the Thelon River, NWT
chercheur principal: Currie, Douglas
Année(s) de permis: 2002 2000
Résumé: The primary focus of the study is the numbers and kinds of insects that live in the Thelon River at its valley. A previous study in 2000 on the Horton River revealed a number of species that are not represented in Alaska and the Yukon. Collections from t...


Bacterial Biodiversity as a Source of New Biological Products.
chercheur principal: Nano, Francis
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The goal of this project is to find new biological products of commercial and medical importance made by bacteria associated with permafrost soils, and to describe the bacterial biodiversity associated with the soils. A total of 500 small soil samples will be collected within 200 m. of the Dempster Highway (in undeveloped areas) between Dawson and Inuvik during August 1999. The decisions for the...


BORUP FIORD 91
chercheur principal: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Année(s) de permis: 1991 1988
Résumé: Multi-disciplinary research will be undertaken in botany, geology, micro meteorology, soil science, remote sensing, breeding biology of Arctic char and archaeological survey. These studies are a continuation of those begun in 1988....
