Multi-habitat use is a widespread strategy for marine organisms, including numerous coral reef fish and invertebrate species of ecological and economic importance. Through daily, seasonal, or ontogenetic migrations, these species play vital roles in maintaining functional connectivity, i.e., the...

Congenital ocular coloboma is a rare genetic disorder that is typically observed as a cleft in the inferior aspect of the eye due to failed choroid fissure closure during embryogenesis. Together with microphthalmia (small eyes) and anophthalmia (absence of eyes), it represents 3-11% of childhood...

Migratory species may shift established spatiotemporal patterns in response to anthropogenic impacts, so understanding the energetic consequences of behavioural plasticity may provide insight into how effectively migratory species respond to climate change. I used satellite telemetry to examine...

Pachycephalosauridae (pachcycephalosaurids) were small to medium sized bipedal ornithischians, known solely from the Late Cretaceous of North America and Asia. These dinosaurs are characterised by thick, often domed frontals and parietals (frontoparietal dome), which are thought to have been used...

The Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii, is a basal, jawless marine fish considered key to understanding the evolution of vertebrates as is their sister group, the lampreys. Cyclostomes like hagfishes and lampreys differ from gnathostomes in their stress response system including the...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of thermokarst and accelerating the delivery of terrestrial organic material from previously sequestered sources to aquatic systems, where it is subject to further biochemical alteration. Rapid climate change in the glacially conditioned...

Livestock metabolomics is an emerging field of metabolomics that is growing at a fast rate. The ability to rapidly detect and quantify hundreds or even thousands of metabolites within a single sample is helping livestock scientists paint a far more complete picture of animal metabolism and...

The cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is a unique multilayered structure that protects them from the constantly changing and often times inhospitable environments, and significantly contributes to their virulence. Having a complex structure, it requires an extensive regulatory network to...

Almost 60% of Canada’s freshwater drains North, where air temperatures are increasing at twice the global rate. Despite the exposure of northern lakes to higher rates of change and their ecological, hydrological, and cultural importance, baseline knowledge and monitoring of their water properties...
