Fall 2017
Photoreceptors (the light-sensitive cellular mediators of vision in the eye) are divided into two classes: rods, which are sensitive to dim light and responsible for vision in low-light conditions, and cones, which are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light, and are responsible for daytime...

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) were among the first large mammals to be assessed for genetic variation in the wild, and they remain a common subject of genetics studies. Although recent advances in genotyping technology have allowed for more accurate determination of population structure and the...

Roe, Amanda D., Farfan, Lina, Cooke, Janice E. K., Hamelin, Richard C., El-Kassaby, Yousry A., Rice, Adrianne V., Tsui, Clement K.
Over 18 million ha of forests have been destroyed in the past decade in Canada by the mountain pine beetle (MPB) and its fungal symbionts. Understanding their population dynamics is critical to improving modeling of beetle epidemics and providing potential clues to predict population expansion....

Multiple novel and rapidly changing environmental factors (i.e. anthropogenic stressors) are increasingly affecting ecological communities, and their functional roles in ecosystems. Consequently, freshwater biodiversity has declined worldwide; however, the functional impacts of this loss should...

The mating system, dispersal behavior and genetic structure of a collared pika (Ochotona collaris: Ochotonidae) population in the southwest Yukon, and a phylogeny of the genus Ochotona.
DownloadFall 2011
Pikas (Ochotona, Ochotonidae) are small, short-eared lagomorphs that inhabit steppes and mountains in northern and central Asia and alpine regions in western North America. I examined the dispersal patterns, genetic structure and mating system of a collared pika (O. collaris) population from the...
