The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major forest pest of pines in western North America. Beetles typically undergo a one-year life cycle with larval cold hardening in preparation for overwintering. Two-year life cycle beetles have been observed but...

Bioconversion of Lignin and Glycerol to Polyhydroxyalkanoates Using Pseudomonas putida KT2440 Under Nutrient Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2023
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a type of bioplastic synthesized by several bacterial species using various carbon sources. PHAs are biocompatible, sustainable, and biodegradable, making them attractive alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics. However, the price of PHAs is currently...

Gene expression analysis of overwintering mountain pine beetle larvae suggests multiple systems involved in overwintering stress, cold hardiness, and preparation for spring development

Robert, Jeanne A., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Pitt, Caitlin, Spooner, Luke J., Fraser, Jordan D., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Jorg, Huber, Dezene P. W.
Cold-induced mortality has historically been a key aspect of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), population control, but little is known about the molecular basis for cold tolerance in this insect. We used RNA-seq analysis to monitor gene expression...

Global and comparative proteomic profiling of overwintering and developing mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae
Download2012
Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W., Pitt, Caitlin, Fraser, Jordie D., Bohlmann, Jörg, Bonnett, Tiffany R., Robert, Jeanne A.
Background Mountain pine beetles, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are native to western North America, but have recently begun to expand their range across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The requirement for larvae to withstand extremely cold winter temperatures and...

The western toad (Anaxyrus boreas, formerly Bufo boreas) is one of many amphibian species considered to be at risk of extinction (COSEWIC status is Special Concern). I examined habitat use patterns of the western toad using several methods to gain a better understanding of its habitat...

Identifying seasonal Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) movement patterns and habitat selection in the South Saskatchewan River Basin
DownloadFall 2016
Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque 1817) have experienced population declines throughout their range. In Alberta, low density age-class distributions, irregular recruitment, critically low spawning potential ratios and other factors led to a 2007 designation of “Threatened” for this...

IL-6 indirectly modulates the induction of glyceroneogenic enzmes in adipose tissue during exercise
Download2012
Wan, Zhongxiao, Beaudoin, Marie-Soleil, Castellani, Laura, Wright, David C., Ritchie, Ian, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Glyceroneogenesis is an important step in the control of fatty acid re-esterification with PEPCK and PDK4 being identified as key enzymes in this process. We have previously shown that glyceroneogenic enzymes such as PDK4 are rapidly induced in white adipose tissue during exercise....

Fraser, Jordie D., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Winter mortality is a major factor regulating population size of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Glycerol is the major cryoprotectant in this freeze intolerant insect. We report findings from a gene expression study on an overwintering...

Estimating annual wolf kill rates and composition is important for assessing the impact of wolves on their prey and managing wolf-ungulate dynamics. Most studies have focused on kill rates of wolves in winter or single-ungulate dominated systems. I used high intensity GPS tracking combined with...
