Description

Kakwa Wildland Park is located at the northern edge of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, about 114 km southwest of Grande Prairie. The purpose of this survey was to provide an annotated summary of the odonate species that occur in the park, including notes on such parameters as relative abundance, distribution patterns, range extensions and any other relevant biological or behavioural information. This information will contribute towards an increased understanding of the odonate fauna of the park and, in a broader context, of Alberta.

Description

An odonate survey was conducted in the summer of 2000 (Hornung 2001) in the Maybelle River, Marguerite River and Richardson River Dunes Wildland Parks. The latter two parks are located in the Central Mixedwood Subregion. Maybelle River WP is located in the Athabasca Plain Subregion. In the summers of 2001 and 2002, three wildland parks located in the Kazan Upland Subregion were surveyed. These were La Butte Creek and Fidler-Greywillow in 2001 and Colin-Cornwall Lakes in 2002 (Macaulay 2002, Macaulay 2003). Most recently, two wildland parks within the Subarctic Subregion were surveyed; the Caribou Mountains in 2003 and Birch Mountains in 2004. These surveys were the first for all of these parks.

Description

Caribou Mountains Wildland Park, within the Subarctic Subregion, was the focus of an odonate survey in the summer of 2003. The Subregion where this wildland park is located contains numerous muskeg ponds, streams and lake habitats. The purpose of the survey was to provide an annotated summary of some of the odonate species that occur in the park, including notes on such parameters as relative abundance, distribution patterns, range extensions and any other relevant biological or behavioral information. The information obtained contributes towards an increased understanding of the odonate fauna found within this wildland park but also within the broader context of Alberta.

Description

In Alberta, the Canadian Shield Ecoregion is restricted to the extreme northeast part of the province (Strong and Leggat 1992). It is subdivided into the Kazan Upland Subregion and the Athabasca Plain Subregion, located to the north and south of Lake Athabasca, respectively. There are several wildland parks that have recently been established in these two subregions. An odonate survey was conducted in the summer of 2000 (Hornung) within three of the wildland parks that are located in the Athabasca Plain Subregion, namely Maybelle River, Marguerite River and Richardson River Dunes. This survey was the first for these three parks. Two parks located in the Kazan Upland Subregion were the focus for an odonate survey in the summer of 2001, namely La Butte Creek and Fildler-Greywillow Wildland Parks. The subregion within which these two wildland parks are located contains extensive riparian and shield outcrop habitats. The purpose of the survey in La Butte Creek and Fildler-Greywillow was...
