Rapid Increases in Forest Understory Diversity and Productivity following a Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Outbreak in Pine Forests
Download2015-01-01
Pec, G. J., Karst, J., Sywenky, A. N, Cigan, P. W., Erbilgin, N., Simard, S. W., Cahill, J. F.
The current unprecedented outbreak of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests of western Canada has resulted in a landscape consisting of a mosaic of forest stands at different stages of mortality. Within forest stands, understory communities are...

Saproxylic Beetles (Coleoptera) Associated With Aspen Deadwood in Broad-Leaved Boreal Mixedwood Stands
DownloadFall 2012
I assessed deadwood-associated (i.e., ‘saproxylic’) beetles (Coleoptera) along a decay gradient of trembling aspen in mature deciduous stands of the boreal mixedwood forest in NW Alberta. Various collection methods were employed to sample saproxylic beetle species. Assemblages differed between...

Gene duplication is a widespread phenomenon in genome evolution, and it has been proposed to serve as an engine of evolutionary innovation. In the present study, we performed the first comprehensive analysis of duplicate genes in the bovine genome. A total of 3131 putative duplicated gene pairs...

Shape Variation of Cysticercoids of Hymenolepis diminuta (Cyclophyllidea) from Fed, Partially Fed, and Fasted Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera)
Download2006
Quantitative studies of a crowding effect on cysticercoids of Hymenolepis diminuta in the intermediate host are few and limited in scope. In this study, we developed a technique to rapidly collect morphological information on large numbers of parasites, and verified the utility of geometric...

Spatial genetic structure of a symbiotic beetle-fungal system: Toward multi-taxa integrated landscape genetics
Download2011-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Hamelin, Richard C., Murray, Brent W., James, Patrick M. A., Coltman, Dave W.
Spatial patterns of genetic variation in interacting species can identify shared features that are important to gene flow and can elucidate co-evolutionary relationships. We assessed concordance in spatial genetic variation between the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and one of its...

Spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical data in virtual reality using semantic mapping
Download2009
Janzen, R.P., Dong, X., Gordon, P.M., Soh, J., Wishart, D.S., Sabhaney, A., Turinsky, A.L., Sensen, C.W., Chang, J., Hau, D., Xia, J., Trinh, Q.M.
We have developed a computational framework for spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical datasets in a virtual reality environment. Using two case studies involving gene expression data and pharmacokinetic data, respectively, we demonstrate how existing knowledge bases for molecular...

Survival prediction is becoming a crucial part of treatment planning for most terminally ill patients. Many believe that genomic data will enable us to better estimate survival of these patients, which will lead to better, more personalized treatment options and patient care. As standard...

T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...
