Stan Boutin NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Integrated Landscape Management at the University of Alberta. His research interests include: population ecology of boreal mammals with emphasis on the relationship between behavior and resources; parental investment and dispersal; management

of boreal communities, predator-prey relationships; and forestry-wildlife interactions in the boreal mixed woods of northeastern Alberta.

Erin Bayne is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology, University of Alberta. His research centers on understanding the cumulative ecological impacts of human activities on boreal forest biodiversity and using GIS to spatially model these effects. Recent research focuses on: 1) behavioral, population, and

community responses of boreal forest birds to energy sector development; 2) development of biotic and abiotic ecological indicators for detecting cumulative effects thresholds; and 3) anthropogenic factors influencing the invasion potential of boreal forest landscapes by non-native species and the consequences of invasion to native taxa.
