From State to Empire: Human Dietary Change on the Central Plains of China from 770 BC to 220 AD
DownloadFall 2016
This study is designed to investigate human dietary features on the Central Plains of China during the social transition from regional states to centralized empire, which occurred during the period from the Eastern Zhou to the Han Dynasty (770BC-220 AD). Human remains from four sites and animal...

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) belongs to a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) which affect many species. From 1986 more than 184,000 cattle in the UK have been confirmed to be infected with this disease, and in Canada total...

Genetic mapping and physiological characterization of water-use efficiency in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2011
Temporal or seasonal water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop yield on the Canadian Prairies. Empirical knowledge suggests that carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), through its negative relationship with water-use efficiency (WUE), is a good index for selecting crop varieties...

Impact of Feed Efficiency and Diet on Adaptive Variations in the Bacterial Community in the Rumen Fluid of Cattle
Download2012
Hernandez-Sanabria, E., Goonewardene, L. A., Durunna, O.N., Wang, Z., Moore, S S., Guan, L. L.
Limited knowledge of the structure and activities of the ruminal bacterial community prevents the understanding of the effect of population dynamics on functional bacterial groups and on host productivity. This study aimed to identify particular bacteria associated with host feed efficiency in...

Integrating the building blocks of agronomy and biocontrol into an IPM strategy for wheat stem sawfly
Download2011-01-01
Beres, Brian L., Cárcamo, Héctor A., Weaver, David K., Dosdall, Lloyd M., Evenden, Maya L., Hill, Bernard D., McKenzie, Ross H., Yang, Rong-Cai, Spaner, Dean M.
The wheat stem sawfly(Cephus cinctus Norton [Hymenoptera: Cephidae]) is a serious threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cereal grains in the northern Great Plains. Insecticides have proven ineffective for sawfly control and can be detrimental to beneficial insects. The management of...

SSHRC IG awarded 2021: My study of the food supply in France addresses two issues fundamental to civilian survival: state management of food supplies and civilian adaptations to scarcity. My project will reconstruct French food policy from 1939 to 1950, analyze the locations and logic for...

Plastow, G., Lu, D., Miller, S., Moore, S., Vander Voort, G., Wang Z., Sargolzaei, M., Li, C., Kelly, M.
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the persistence of its phase across populations are important for genomic selection as well as fine scale mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, knowledge of LD in beef cattle, as well as the persistence of LD phase between crossbreds (C) and purebreds,...

Nutrient limitation of periphyton in agricultural streams: Implications for watershed management
DownloadSpring 2021
Freshwater streams are ecologically important as sources of habitat, unique biodiversity, and valued ecosystem services. Yet, stream health can be threatened by intensified nutrient loading derived from adjacent anthropogenic land-uses such as agricultural and municipal developments. Since algal...
