Cyanobacterial (CB) blooms are becoming a global concern due to the increasing prevalence of eutrophication. The dependence of CB dynamics on phosphorus and light inputs is modeled via a stoichiometric approach. The dynamics occur in distinct phases that allow us to make use of multiple timescale...

Trawetsia princetonensis gen. et sp. nov. (Blechnaceae): a permineralized fern from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert
Download2006
Rothwell, G.W., Stockey, R.A., Nishida, H., Smith, S.Y.
Trawetsia princetonensis Smith, Stockey, Nishida & Rothwell gen. et sp. nov. is described from several permineralized rhizomes, stipes, and higher-order frond members of a blechnoid fern that have been identified from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert of British Columbia. Rhizomes bear stipes...

Li, R., Zheng, W., Durbin, R., Liu, T., Bolund, L., Dehal, P., Coin, L.J., Coghlan, A., Osmotherly, L., Heriche, J.K., Ruan, J., Li, H., Wang, J., Wong, G., Zhang, Z.
TreeFam is a database of phylogenetic trees of gene families found in animals. It aims to develop a curated resource that presents the accurate evolutionary history of all animal gene families, as well as reliable ortholog and paralog assignments. Curated families are being added progressively,...

Triage for conserving populations of threatened species: The case of woodland caribou in Alberta.
Download2010
Hauer, G., Adarnowicz, W., Boutin, S., Schneider, R.
Prioritization of conservation efforts for threatened and endangered species has tended to focus on factors measuring the risk of extirpation rather than the probability of success and cost. Approaches such as triage are advisable when three main conditions are present: insufficient capacity...

Khan, Amanda S., Chu, Jackson W. F., Leys, Sally P.
Sponges link the microbial loop with benthic communities by feeding on bacteria. Glass sponge reefs on the continental shelf of western Canada have extremely high grazing rates, consuming seven times more particulate carbon than can be supplied by vertical flux alone. Unlike many sponges, the...

Trophic Relations of the Red-Necked Grebe on Lakes in the Western Boreal Forest: A Stable-Isotope Analysis.
Download2004
Tonn, W. M., Klatt, P. H., Paszkowski, C. A., Gingras, B. A., Wilcox, K.
We compared trophic ecology of grebes inferred from stable-isotope analysis to that from gut contents, and compared isotopic ratios of Red-necked Grebes (Podiceps grisegena) from lakes differing in their food webs. Analyses of different grebe tissues (egg yolk and albumen, pectoral and leg...

Tumour-stromal interactions: Integrins and cell adhesions as modulators of mammary cell survival and transformation
Download2001
Chrenek, Micah A., Weaver, Valerie M., Wong, Paul
Stromal–epithelial interactions modulate mammary epithelial cell (MEC) growth and apoptosis by influencing cell adhesion and tissue organization. Perturbations in the mammary stroma and cell adhesion characterize breast tumors and underlie the altered tissue organization, disrupted tissue...

Two New Species of Pseudogymnoascus with Geomyces Anamorphs and Their Phylogenetic Relationship with Gymnostellatospora
Download2006
Rice, Adrianne V., Currah, Randolph S.
Two new psychrophilic Pseudogymnoascus species with Geomyces anamorphs are described from a Sphagnum bog in Alberta, Canada. Pseudogymnoascus appendiculatus has long, branched, orange appendages and smooth, fusoid to ellipsoidal ascospores with a faint longitudinal rim. Pseudogymnoascus...

Ultraviolet-ozone treatment reduces levels of disease-associated prion protein and prion infectivity
Download2009
Gilbert, P., Pedersen, J., McKenzie, D., Johnson, C.J., Aiken, J.M.
Background: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by novel infectious agents referred to as prions. Prions appear to be composed primarily, if not exclusively, of a misfolded isoform of the cellular prion protein. TSE infectivity...
