Correlations in morphology between the sexes in feather mites (Acari: Astigmata): precopulatory guarding and reproductive morphologies
DownloadFall 2013
Sexual dimorphism is prominent across animals. In addition to differences in size and colouration, the sexes may also differ in non-genitalic contact traits whereby the grasping morphologies of males are matched by either cooperative or resistant corresponding structures in females. Resistance...

Corynebacterium glutamicum: A Platform For Studying Actinobacterial Protein-O-Mannosylation And High-Yield Heterologous Protein Production
DownloadSpring 2024
Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 is a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) soil actinobacterium that is widely utilized in industry and was originally used for the large-scale production of amino acids. Through both genetic and metabolic engineering, the organism has been developed into a...

Fall 2012
In western North America cougar populations are increasing and expanding eastward. Simultaneously, growing human populations are creating new challenges for managers charged with maintaining the viability of cougar populations and their ungulate prey. Information on how cougars respond to...

Animals live in close association with communities of microbes that play important roles modulating host nutrition, immunity, health, and behavior. Many of these microbes live on or in their animal host, most notably in the vertebrate gut, but microbiome studies now encompass disparate taxa from...

Cranial Morphology, Taxonomy, and Systematics of Pachycephalosaurids (Dinosauria, Ornithischia)
DownloadSpring 2022
Pachycephalosauridae (pachcycephalosaurids) were small to medium sized bipedal ornithischians, known solely from the Late Cretaceous of North America and Asia. These dinosaurs are characterised by thick, often domed frontals and parietals (frontoparietal dome), which are thought to have been used...

Created stormwater wetlands as wetland compensation and a floristic quality approach to wetland condition assessment in central Alberta
DownloadFall 2010
In Alberta, almost all created wetlands accepted as compensation have been naturalized stormwater management facilities. Our investigation of 32 created and natural wetlands in central Alberta determined that created wetlands have steeper shoreline slopes, largely as a result of their primary...
