Chronic exposure to elevated free fatty acids (lipotoxicity) induces uncoupling protein (UCP2) in the pancreatic β-cell, and therefore a causal link between UCP2 and β-cell defects associated with obesity may exist. Recently, we showed that lipid treatment in vivo and in vitro in UCP2(–/–)...

Jackson, D.A., Walker, S.C., Poos, M.S.
Functional diversity is an important concept in community ecology because it captures information on functional traits absent in measures of species diversity. One popular method of measuring functional diversity is the dendrogram-based method, FD. To calculate FD, a variety of methodological...

Glucose-regulated glucagon secretion requires insulin receptor expression in pancreatic α-cells
Download2005
Chan, Catherine B., Wheeler, Michael B., Asghar, Zeenat, Diao, Jingyu
The insulin receptor (IR) and its signaling appear to be essential for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. However, much less is known about the role of the IR in α-cells. To assess the role of the IR in glucagon and insulin secretion, we engineered adeno-viruses for high efficiency small...

SSHRC NFRF-E awarded 2019: With the requested funding, I will apply my expertise in T cells and metabolism to identify new potential metabolic drugs that can enhance immune function. We hypothesize that a Insulin-Resistance (IR)-related immune and metabolic defect contributes to increased risk of...

High levels of green-tree retention are required to preserve ground beetle biodiversity in boreal mixedwood forests
Download2010
Jacobs, J.J., Volney, W.J.A., Work, T.T., Spence, J.R.
Recovery of biodiversity and other ecosystem functions to pre-disturbance levels is a central goal of natural disturbance-based approaches to ecosystem management. In boreal mixedwood forests, green-tree retention has been proposed as an alternative approach to traditional clearcutting that may...

The worldwide biodiversity crisis has intensified the need to better understand how biodiversity and human disturbance are related. Yet this relationship lacks both consensus in theoretical expectations and consistency in observed empirical patterns. I present one of the largest extent studies...

This research compared the variability/diversity of spectral information captured with spectrometers at the airborne, field, and leaf level to tree species diversity. Airborne measurements were made over the North Saskatchewan River Valley while field and leaf measurements were done with...
