Correlations in morphology between the sexes in feather mites (Acari: Astigmata): precopulatory guarding and reproductive morphologies
DownloadFall 2013
Sexual dimorphism is prominent across animals. In addition to differences in size and colouration, the sexes may also differ in non-genitalic contact traits whereby the grasping morphologies of males are matched by either cooperative or resistant corresponding structures in females. Resistance...

Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE), a known carcinogen, is a reactive metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (BP). BP is usually formed during combustion of organic substances, such as cigarette smoke, automobile emission exhaust, and industrial waste burning. BPDE can covalently bind to the nucleobases of...

Developing and Assessing an Environmental DNA Protocol for Detecting Amphibian Species in Lentic Systems in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2016
Global declines of amphibian populations have resulted in increased interest in determining and monitoring the geographic ranges for both endangered and invasive amphibian species. Monitoring programs rely on detection techniques to amass data, techniques that must be dependable in order to...

Development and Evolution of Complex Reproductive Traits in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadSpring 2023
Flowering plants exhibit a bewildering diversity of forms, which raises fundamental questions on how that diversity arises. A cornerstone of evolutionary developmental biology is the expansion of comparative landscapes and establishment of focal clades that enable investigation of complex and...

Development, Anatomy, and Phylogenetic Relationships of Jawless Vertebrates and Tests of Hypotheses about Early Vertebrate Evolution
DownloadSpring 2018
The origin and early evolution of vertebrates remain one of the central questions of comparative biology. This clade, which features a breathtaking diversity of complex forms, has generated profound, unresolved questions, including: How are major lineages of vertebrates related to one another?...

Different scales of spatial segregation of two species of feather mites on the wings of a passerine bird
Download2011
Mestre, A., Mesquita-Joanes, F., Proctor, H., Monros, J. S.
The \"condition-specific competition hypothesis\" proposes that coexistence of 2 species is possible when spatial or temporal variations in environmental conditions exist and each species responds differently to those conditions. The distribution of different species of feather mites on their...

DNA-assisted Heterogeneous Integration of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Devices: Modeling, Control, and Rational Design of Selective Attachment
DownloadSpring 2018
Heterogeneous integration is an electronic packaging approach that enables the fabrication and assembly of complete electronic subsystems from components fabricated with different substrates and processes. Current commercial techniques like robotic pick-and-place, fluidic self-assembly, and...

Spring 2014
This thesis evaluates economic impact of adoption of crops developed by means of modern genomic tools. The economic impact of these improved crops is looked at from two different angles: the welfare implications from trading improved crops on the world market, and the benefits of adopting...
