Limited impacts of extensive human land use on dominance, specialization, and biotic homogenization in boreal plant communities
Download2015-01-01
Mayor, S. J., Boutin, S., He, F., Cahill, J. F.
Background Niche theory predicts that human disturbance should influence the assembly of communities, favouring functionally homogeneous communities dominated by few but widespread generalists. The decline and loss of specialists leaves communities with species that are functionally more similar....

Limited mitochondrial permeabilization is an early manifestation of palmitate-induced lipotoxicity in pancreatic ß-cells
Download2008
Wheeler, Michael B., Chan, Catherine B., Dai, Feihan F., Koshkin, Vasilij, Robson-Doucette, Christine A.
Involvement of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore in early stages of lipotoxic stress in the pancreatic β-cell lines MIN6 and INS-1 was the focus of this study. Both long term (indirect) and acute (direct) effects of fatty acid (FA) application on β-cell susceptibility to...

Rueda-Clausen, Christian Federico
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are still the primary cause of death and disability in modern society. Although genetic factors play a fundamental role in the development of these chronic conditions, the remarkable variability in an individual’s susceptibility to develop these pathologies...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells critical for the initiation of the adaptive immune response. As such, DCs continually circulate the body to survey for foreign antigen in the periphery. DCs encounter a milieu of environmental cues within the traversed microenvironment that can...

Parasite aggregation is a population-based metric in which many hosts harbour few parasites but some hosts are infected by a large number of parasites. The causes of aggregation are primarily attributed to heterogeneity in host exposure and susceptibility. However, parasites can exert numerous...

Oligosaccharides, compounds that are composed of 2–10 monosaccharide residues, are major carbohydrate sources in habitats populated by lactobacilli. Moreover, oligosaccharide metabolism is essential for ecological fitness of lactobacilli. Disaccharide metabolism by lactobacilli is well...

Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...

Abstract: During a survey of microfungi from rotting wood in northern Alberta forests, 49 species of ascomycetes, representing 24 genera, and 15 families in seven orders, were recovered. Twenty-eight species are new reports for Alberta, 15 of which are new for Canada, and seven are new for North...
