I will use recent advances in genetic approaches and non-invasive hair collection methods to identify individual animals and\u00a0estimate population size, track individual survival, reproduction and movements. Specifically, I will test the cumulative effects of human harvest, black bear occurrence and key food resources on grizzly bear demography, and investigate the complex interactions between these factors across the landscape. \u00a0In addition, I am using these data to investigate the influence of\u00a0ecological trap dynamics on\u00a0this species. Identifying general patterns of demographic variation will inform the research and management of this species across its range as well as provide a rigorous test of population theory<\/p>\n<p><strong>Webpage:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lamb-eco-research.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.lamb-eco-research.ca&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1554313465546000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGjCiI2ZQBiQ0NUNUwPyzbTByFATg\">www.lamb-eco-research.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ctlamb@ualberta.ca\">ctlamb@ualberta.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClaytonTLamb\">@ClaytonTLamb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD research: Limits to population growth of an apex omnivore: Untangling the influences of human predation, competing species and high nutritional requirements Co-supervised by Dr. Stan Boutin and Dr. Scott Nielsen My research aims to identify the net influence of&hellip; <br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/clayton-lamb-phd\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-91","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":129,"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91\/revisions\/129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boutin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
