Choline demands during lactation are high; however, detailed knowledge is lacking regarding the optimal dietary intake during this critical period. The present study was designed to determine the effects of varying intakes of choline on maternal immune function during lactation. Primiparous...

Density-dependent constraints on parasite growth, survival or reproduction are thought to be important in preventing the unchecked increase in parasite numbers within individual hosts or host populations. While it is important to know where, and with what severity, density dependence is acting...

Development of carcass cuts, organs, body tissue and chemical body composition during growth of pigs
Download2006
Landgraf, S., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Kalm, E., Looft, H., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
A serial slaughter trial was carried out to examine the developmental change of physical and chemical body composition in pigs highly selected for lean content. A total of 48 pigs (17 females and 31 castrated males) were serially slaughtered and chemically analysed. Eight pigs were slaughtered at...

Diet and Growth of Northern Pike in the Absence of Prey Fishes: Initial Consequences for Persisting in Disturbance-Prone Lakes.
Download2006
Venturelli, P. A., Tonn, W. M.
The northern pike Esox lucius is a renowned piscivore, but will prey opportunistically on invertebrates (e.g., in small lakes of boreal Alberta, where winterkill can unexpectedly reduce or eliminate prey fishes). We emulated such a disturbance by stocking a fishless lake with northern pike and...

Differential exudation of polypeptides by roots of aluminum-resistant and aluminum-sensitive cultivars of Triticum aestivum L. in response to aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, A., Taylor, G. J., Basu, U.
Cultivars of Triticum aestivum differing in resistance to Al were grown under aseptic conditions in the presence and absence of Al and polypeptides present in root exudates were collected, concentrated, and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon exposure to...

Diurnal and annual exchanges of mass and energy between an aspen-hazelnut forest and the atmosphere: testing the mathematical model ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment
Download1999
Russell, C., den Hartog, G., Grant, R.F., Berry, J.A., Yang, P.C., Neumann, H.H., Blanken, P.D., Black, T.A., Gower, S.T.
There is much uncertainty about the net carbon (C) exchange of boreal forest ecosystems, although this exchange may be an important part of global C dynamics. To resolve this uncertainty, net C exchange has been measured at several sites in the boreal forest of Canada as part of the Boreal...

Diverting Resources to Turn on Resistance: Influences of Biotic and Abiotic Stresses on Aspen Seedlings
DownloadFall 2012
The interactions between biotic and abiotic stresses and their influence on plant reserves in non-photosynthetic tissues (i.e., roots and stems) and the role of plant reserves in tree defenses are poorly understood. Aspen seedlings grown under different conditions (light, fertilizer) were grouped...
