We have engineered a novel model of cone photoreceptor regeneration using transgenic zebrafish to induce cell ablation. Zebrafish were engineered to express the E. coli gene nfsB, encoding the protein nitroreductase (NTR), within UV-sensitive cones. We have adapted the...

Sanchez Ulate, Natalie Viviana
The study of avian vocalizations intrigues humans in many ways, in part because song production has many similarities with human speech. Since the development of technologies to record and analyze songs, the study of avian vocalizations has provided insights into song learning and its function in...

Venison to beef and deviance from truth: biotelemetry for detecting seasonal wolf prey selection in Alberta
DownloadFall 2010
An abrupt interface between mountains and prairies in southwestern Alberta means wilderness areas and carnivore populations overlap cattle grazing lands. Consequently, there is concern about the effects of large carnivores, especially wolves, on livestock. I used GPS clusters and scat samples...

The escape response in zebrafish is mediated in part by the Mauthner cell and its two homologues, MiD2cm and MiD3cm. In adult fish, the Mauthner cell fires a single action potential when activated while the homologues fire multiple action potentials. Their distinct firing properties are partially...

Walking in Their Footsteps: New Approaches to Identify Behavioural Processes and Define Home Ranges Using Animal Movement Data
DownloadFall 2014
Animal movement and space-use patterns influence the distribution and abundance of species, predator-prey interactions, and many other ecological processes. Different approaches are used to study individual's space-use strategies and each approach suffers from unique challenges. The mechanistic...

Oil sands mining in Alberta will destroy tens of thousands of hectares of boreal habitat. This land will need to be reclaimed. Current closure plans call for the construction of shallow open water wetlands to cover about 10-30% of the reclaimed landscape. Already, several trial wetlands have...
