Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Conserving cougars in a rural landscape: habitat requirements and local tolerance in west-central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Maintaining large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes poses a significant conservation challenge. Extirpation is common because of habitat loss or direct persecution. I studied cougar habitat selection and human perception of cougars in west-central Alberta to better understand...

Most multicellular organisms form tissue networks for transport function. What controls the formation of tissue networks is thus a central question in biology. In animals, the formation of these networks often involves extensive cell movements—movements that are instead prevented in plants by a...

Multicellular organisms solve the problem of long-distance transport of signals and nutrients by means of tissue networks such as the vascular system of vertebrate embryos and the vein networks of plant leaves; therefore, how vascular networks form is a key question in biology. In vertebrates,...

Vascular networks transport water, signals and nutrients in both plants and animals; what controls the formation of these networks is thus a central question in biology. In animals, vascular network formation requires direct cell-cell communication and often cell movements, both of which are...

To form tissue networks, animal cells migrate and interact through proteins protruding from their plasma membranes. Plant cells can do neither, yet plants form vein networks. How plants do so is unclear, but the prevailing hypothesis proposes that GNOM — a regulator of vesicle formation in...

Tissue networks such as the vascular networks of mammalian embryos and the vein network of plant leaves transport water, signals and nutrients; what controls the formation of these networks is thus a key question in biology. In animals, the formation of tissue networks requires direct cell-cell...
