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.

Intrapopulation variability in wolf diet revealed using a combined stable isotope and fatty acid approach
DownloadSpring 2018
Naturally occurring stable isotope ratios and fatty acids are two types of chemical biomarkers frequently used to quantitatively estimate consumer diets. Stable isotope values in animal tissues and diets have been evaluated using Bayesian mixing models to provide dietary estimates of consumers in...

Intraspecies Antagonistic Interactions Driven by the Type VI Secretion System in Vibrio cholerae
DownloadFall 2020
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a contact-dependent molecular weapon used by bacteria to transport a variety of effectors into neighbours. Attacked cells must have immunity proteins specific to each incoming effector in order to neutralize their cytotoxic effects. Vibrio cholerae, a...

Intraspecific cache pilferage in larder-hoarding red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) in Kluane, Yukon
DownloadFall 2010
Pilfering is thought to play a role in the evolution of scatter-hoarding strategies; but is not well understood in larder-hoarding animals. I studied intraspecific pilfering in red squirrels in Kluane, YT, Canada. The purpose of this project was to estimate the natural rate of cache pilferage,...

Fall 2015
Here I assess sources of intraspecific morphological variability in the armoured dinosaurs (Dinosauria: Ornithischia: Ankylosauria), approached from the viewpoints of ontogenetic allometry, fossil bone histology, and individual variation. Juvenile specimens of Pinacosaurus grangeri Gilmore, 1933,...

Intrauterine cooperativity: amplification between ligands, cells, and tissues to transition the uterus for parturition
DownloadFall 2018
Birth is a complex biological event requiring genetic, cellular and physiological changes to the uterus, resulting in a uterus activated for completing the physiological processes of labour. We define the change from the state of pregnancy to the state of parturition as uterine transitioning,...
