Phylogeography and Trematode Parasitism of Oreohelix Land Snails in Southern Alberta
PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND TREMATODE PARASITISM OF OREOHELIX LAND SNAILS IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA ZACHARIAH WILLIAM DEMPSEY BSc, Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, 2014 A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Biological Sciences University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Zach W.

Dr. Tony Russell Associate Professor Ph.D. Chair, Thesis Examination Committee ABSTRACT Modern studies in phylogeography integrate many once-disparate scientific fields. This study investigated terrestrial mountain snails, Oreohelix spp., in southern Alberta using DNA markers and the recent emergence of the trematode parasite Dicrocoelium dendriticum. Large-bodied snails in Cypress Hills (CH) and the Rocky Mountains (RM) formed three clades within the species complex O. subrudis. One was geographically widespread, one was restricted to one region in the RM, and one was restricted to CH. Small-bodied snails in CH were determined to be O. cooperi, a rare Oreohelid thought to be imperilled in the western U.S.A. Phylogeographic analyses determined that snails likely colonized and came into contact in CH due to its glacial history. -

(“Montem”) is in receipt of correspondence dated April 1, 2021 from the Ktunaxa Nation Council (“KNC”), on behalf of the Ktunaxa Nation (“Ktunaxa”), to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”) requesting that the Tent Mountain Mine Project (the “Project”) be designated for federal review in accordance with section 9(3) of the Impact Assessment Act.1 Montem respects the Ktunaxa’s rights and interests in the area of the Project as well as the concerns raised by the KNC. Montem has commenced engagement with the KNC to better understand how resumption of mining at the Tent Mountain Mine site will potentially impact the Ktunaxa and to ensure that any impacts to their rights and interests are addressed. Montem reiterates its request that the Project not be designated for the detailed reasons set out below including: 1. The Project is the restart of a small, existing mining operation on a previously disturbed brownfield mine site, with a relatively short duration (approximately 14 years) with a production capacity of less than 5,000 tonnes per day. It is not a new mine or a large expansion that would warrant federal designation; 2. The Project is an existing and permitted operation with mining activities that currently cross the provincial boundary between the Province of Alberta and the Province of British Columbia. -

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology. -

ABOUT MONTEM MONTEM RESOURCES Coal Mining in the Crowsnest Pass The Crowsnest Pass has been a key pillar in western Canadian coal mining for over 120 years. The Canadian Pacific Railway built its southern main line from Lethbridge Alberta through the Crowsnest Pass into British Columbia in 1898. A number of coal mines in the region both in Alberta and British Columbia commenced operations immediately afterward. A series of mining towns were built along the railway line from Hillcrest and Bellevue in the east to Sparwood in the west. -
Casting in the Dark, on Alberta's Crowsnest River
Lundbreck Falls Casting in the dark, on Alberta’s Crowsnest River. By Dana Sturn Curtis Hall A friend lost a fly box on the Crowsnest River. It slipped out of an open vest pocket. We never knew where or when. All we knew was it was gone. I searched down one side while Richard splashed across and searched down the other until his progress was halted where the river rushed up against a rock wall. He waived me off, and pointed upstream, signaling I should meet him back where we started. “This sucks,” he said, wading out. “All my Stealth Caddises were in there.” His first trip to Alberta wasn’t off to the best start. Crap weather and reluctant rainbows made his few days on the Bow near Calgary underwhelming, so this morning on the two-hour drive south I assured him that the Crowsnest would be different. But now I imagined the box—my gift of a clear Orvis full of perfect little hand ties— spinning in eddies and bumping off boulders, eventually tumbling over Lundbreck Falls a few kilometers downstream. There are some big trout below those falls. At dusk they start looking up for caddisflies that the size-16 Stealth Caddis matches perfectly in dark waters. Now he didn’t have any. And that’s where we were headed. Smaller and wilder than the Bow, the Crowsnest flows east along Highway 3 in southwestern Alberta, until it joins the Oldman River northeast of the village of Cowley. It’s a walk and wade dream river that fishes best late June through early autumn. -
