Bottom-up controls of flammability in the Canadian boreal forest at multiple temporal and spatial scales
DownloadFall 2023
Wildfires are the most common disturbances occurring in the Canadian boreal forests. Their incidence and characteristics are controlled by different factors at different temporal and spatial scales. At every scale, vegetation is an essential factor fueling fires. Despite its importance, some...

Elucidating the effects of photoperiod during gestation and lactation on mammary gene expression and function in cows and mice
DownloadSpring 2015
Photoperiod, or day length, generates a highly accurate biological calendar that allows animals to anticipate and adapt to environmental change throughout the year. Photoperiod coordinates both daily and yearly rhythms associated with sleep/wake cycles, behavior, and reproduction, including...

Maternal Essential Fatty Acid Status During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study and Infant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) acids are essential fatty acids found in breast milk and are important for the infant’s brain development and cognitive functions such as those that regulate sleep and crying. The overall goal of this research was to use a large maternal infant cohort,...

Maternal long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid status during pregnancy and lactation in the APrON cohort.
DownloadFall 2013
INTRODUCTION: Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) that are essential for fetal and infant development. The overall aim of the study was to characterize DHA, EPA and AA status during pregnancy and lactation in the first cohort of the...
