A phylogenetic and phylogeographic study of predaceous diving beetles in the Nearctic with a focus on the tribe Agabini (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Colymbetinae).
Principal Investigator: Venables, Chandra
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: 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
Principal Investigator: Currie, Douglas
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2000
Summary: 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...


Physical properties of dead and downed round-wood in the boreal forests of Western Canada
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: Accurate estimates of the bulk density or specific gravity, tilt angle and average diameter of various size classes must be established. This study focuses on collection and validation of these estimates, recognizing that they may indeed change, dependin...


Bacterial Biodiversity as a Source of New Biological Products.
Principal Investigator: Nano, Francis
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: 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...


Tundra Northwest 1999
Principal Investigator: Karlqvist, Anders
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The overall goal of the expedition Tundra Northwest 1999 is to study geographic variation of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems of the tundra. By using the CCG icebreaker Louis St. Laurent for transport and as a scientific platform the the expedition route will include a longitudinal gradient from Baffin Island to the northern coast of Alaska and a latitudinal gradient through the Canadian Arc...


BORUP FIORD 91
Principal Investigator: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1988
Summary: 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....
