Biodiversity of soil arthropods in a native grassland in Alberta, Canada: obscure associations and effects of simulated climate change
DownloadFall 2013
Soils have traditionally been treated as a “black box” due to the challenges of studying this complex medium. The living component of soil consists of a complex network of roots and mostly very small, highly abundant, and extremely diverse group of microbes, protists, and other invertebrates. In...

Effect of Regular Dietary Consumption of Beans or Peas on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure in Men and Women with Mild Hypercholesterolemia
DownloadSpring 2015
Pulse consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on heart health. In this randomized controlled trial, 51 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia were randomly assigned to consume study food items containing ¾ cup beans, peas, or rice (control) per day, 5 days per week for 6...

Populations of a host species may exhibit different assemblages of parasites and other symbionts. The loss of certain species of symbionts (lineage sorting, or ‘‘missing-the-boat’’) is a mechanism by which geographical variation in symbiont assemblages can arise. We studied feather mites and lice...

Morphological variation associated with dispersal capacity in a treekilling bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins
Download2018-01-01
Shegelski, Victor A., Evenden, Maya L., Sperling, Felix AH
Intrinsic factors influencing the dispersal of insect pests during outbreaks are poorly understood, yet these factors need to be quantified to parameterize dispersal in models that predict population spread. The present study related wing and body morphology of female mountain pine beetles...
