Fall 2022
Pathogenic bacteria have a plethora of mechanisms to survive within the human body, and the effectiveness of antibiotics to treat these infections is rapidly declining due to an increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and a lack of new drug discovery. AMR is a significant global concern, and...

The Expression of Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Proteins (TARPs) in Developing Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
DownloadFall 2013
In embryonic vertebrates, newly-formed synapses are quiet until they are unsilenced through a process that resembles synaptic plasticity but remains mechanistically unclear. I used gene expression to determine if Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Proteins (TARPs), AMPA receptor auxiliary...

The fitness consequences of variation in resting metabolic rate in juvenile North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus)
DownloadFall 2010
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the minimum energy expenditure necessary for survival. RMR varies widely both among and within species and a central question in evolutionary physiology concerns the functional basis for this variation. Juvenile North American red squirrels were used to investigate...

Ceratopsidae is a group of non-avian dinosaurs known for their distinctive cranial ornamentation and horns. This ornamentation has become the focal point of ceratopsid research and therefore has led to a state of affairs in ceratopsid palaeontology in which taxa are diagnosed on the basis of...

Oogenesis in C. elegans requires the activity of type II nonmuscle myosins, complexes containing two heavy and four light chains that bind and move actin. Two different complexes are found in the gonad, differing in their heavy chains, (NMY-1 versus NMY-2). These two myosins are redundant during...

The sucrose-nonfermenting-1 related kinase 1 (SnRK1) protein complex is a heterotrimeric serine/threonine protein kinase complex conserved in eukaryotes that acts as a regulator of carbon metabolism and energy homeostasis. The objective of this study was to determine if the SnRK1 protein complex...

The immune response of the goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) to natural mycobacterial pathogens
DownloadFall 2018
Disease caused by pathogens of the genus Mycobacterium is of serious consequence to many animals, not least of which is M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis. The ongoing efforts to characterize the immune response during mycobacterial infection have rendered a complex yet...
