Growth of understory spruce following mountain pine beetle attack and recalibration and validation of the Mixedwood Growth Model for black spruce
DownloadFall 2018
Effective forest management requires reliable growth and yield models and adequate information on changes in the forest resulting from climate change, insect outbreak and competition from neighboring trees. Growth responses of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and black spruce (Picea...

Host Plant Chemistry Affects Fungal Interactions, Which Influence the Production of Volatile Fungal Metabolites
DownloadSpring 2019
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently expanded its host range to novel jack pine forests in Alberta. Invasion success of MPB may depend on the outcome of interactions between its primary symbiotic fungus Grosmannia clavigera with other organisms sharing the same host. Among resources-sharing...

Gonzalès, Rodolphe, Parrott, Lael
The resilience of resource-based communities facing natural disturbances partly depends on the capacity of a wide diversity of stakeholders to share their expertise, articulate their efforts, and develop solutions that are both effective and equitable. Structural methods from network theory can...

Identification and Validation of a Common Molecular Signature of Progressive Fibrosis in Human Livers
DownloadSpring 2020
Over 25% of the world population suffer from chronic liver disease. Most common causes are long-term viral infections, alcohol abuse, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity, diabetes or hyperlipidemia. Chronic liver disease due to any cause is characterized by...

Impact of carbohydrates and carnocyclin A on growth and gene expression of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadSpring 2024
L. monocytogenes is the foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, which has a high fatality rate of 20 to 30%. L. monocytogenes is often associated with ready-to-eat food products. Therefore, techniques to control growth of this organism are needed for the safety of these foods....

Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Attack on Water Balance of Lodgepole Pine Forests in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
In recent decades mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an important natural disturbance agent in western Canada, thus the impact of this disturbance will likely be an important component affecting water resources in this region. Despite the widespread recognition of the potential changes, there...

Induced monoterpene responses in jack pine: defence against jack pine budworm and a fungal associate of the mountain pine beetle
DownloadFall 2010
My thesis research investigated monoterpene responses in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) to different agents to better understand how these responses may influence the spread of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins; MPB) in the boreal forest. The results support that...

Interactions Between Host Trees, Bacteria, and Fungi: Impacts on Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Reproduction
DownloadFall 2012
Warming winter trends due to climate change have allowed for a range expansion of the mountain pine beetle, and the beetle now threatens Canada’s economically and ecologically important jack pine forests. The beetle’s success in jack pine trees will depend upon successful colonization of the...

Investigation of mRNP export kinetics and gene expression regulation by the DEAD-box protein Dbp5p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2019
The intricate architecture of the eukaryotic cell, which includes the partitioning of the cell into discrete membrane bound organelles, necessitates that various cargos must cross the nuclear envelope (NE). Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large macromolecular assemblies embedded within the NE...
