Shegelski, Victor A., Campbell, Erin O., Thompson, Kirsten M., Whitehouse, Caroline M., Sperling, Felix A. H.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a significant destructive force in the pine forests of western Canada and has the capacity to spread east into a novel host tree species, jack pine (Pinaceae). New populations have been documented in central...

Environmental biosafety of field scale GM triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack) cultivation for bioindustrial applications
DownloadSpring 2012
Triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack) is an intergeneric hybrid of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. and T. Durum Desf.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) that is primarily utilized as an animal feed crop, but is being genetically modified (GM) to take advantage of its bioindustrial qualities. Prior to release...

Environmental biosafety of genetically engineered crops: Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) as a model system
DownloadSpring 2010
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is considered as a model plant species for multipurpose uses with whole plant utilization for several purposes including industril, food, animal feed, fiber, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and bioproduct markets. Therefore, flax is in the process of genetic...

Fine-scale genetic diversity and relatedness in fungi associated with the mountain pine beetle
Download2019-01-01
Tsui, Clement K. M., Beauseigle, Stephanie, Ojeda Alayon, Dario I., Rice, Adrianne V., Cooke, Janice E. K., Sperling, Felix A. H., Roe, Amanda D., Hamelin, Richard C.
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) forms beneficial symbiotic associations with fungi. Here we explored the fine-scale spatial genetic structure of three of those fungi using single nucleotide polymorphism. We found that single mated pairs of beetles carry not...

Genetic population structure of walleye (Sander vitreus) in northern Alberta and application to species management
DownloadFall 2010
Walleye (Sander vitreus) is an economically valuable freshwater fish throughout North America. In Alberta, pressure from sport fishing and commercial fishing make effective management and protection of this species crucial to its sustainability. Walleye from 12 Alberta lakes were genetically...

Limited effects of soil nutrient heterogeneity on populations of Abutilon theophrasti (Malvaceae)
Download1996-01-01
An experiment was conducted to determine if spatial nutrient heterogeneity affects mean plant size or size hierarchies in experimental populations of the weedy annual Abutilon theophrasti Medic. (Malvaceae). Heterogeneity was imposed by alternating 8 X 8 X 10 cm blocks of low and high nutrient...

Wittische, Julian, Janes, Jasmine K., James, Patrick M. A.
The current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) outbreak has reached more than 25 million hectares of forests in North America, affecting pine species throughout the region and substantially changing landscapes. However, landscape features that enhance or limit...

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) were among the first large mammals to be assessed for genetic variation in the wild, and they remain a common subject of genetics studies. Although recent advances in genotyping technology have allowed for more accurate determination of population structure and the...
