Wilson, A.J., Pemberton, J.M., Coltman, D.W., Kruuk, L.E.B., Pilkington, J.G., Mifsud, D.V., Clutton-Brock, T.H.
There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable environments. Here, we applied a novel...

Epulorhiza inquilina sp. nov. from Platanthera (Orchidaceae) and a key to Epulorhiza species
Download1997
McInnis, T. M., Currah, R. S., Zettler, L. W.
Abstract: Epulorhiza inquilina sp. nov. is described from the mycorrhizas of mature plants of Platanthera clavellata, P. cristata and P. integrilabia, coexisting terrestrial orchids native to bogs in the southern Appalachians. The new taxon was isolated consistently and exclusively from these...

The goal of this group project has been to coordinate and bring up-to-date information on all genes of Escherichia coli K-12. Annotation of the genome of an organism entails identification of genes, the boundaries of genes in terms of precise start and end sites, and description of the gene...

Establishing a fossil record for the perianthless Piperales: Saururus tuckerae sp. nov. (Saururaceae) from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert
Download2007
Investigations of small permineralized flowers from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert, British Columbia, Canada have revealed that they represent an extinct species of Saururus. Over 100 flowers and one partial inflorescence were studied, and numerous minute perianthless flowers are borne in an...

Lewis, M.A., Derocher, A.E., Molnár, P.K.
Allee effects are an important component in the population dynamics of numerous species. Accounting for these Allee effects in population viability analyses generally requires estimates of low-density population growth rates, but such data are unavailable for most species and particularly...

McLachlan, J. S., Lewis, M. A., HilleRisLambers, J., Clark, J. S.
Recent literature on plant population spread advocates quantification of long-distance dispersal (LDD). These estimates could provide insights into rates of migration in response to climate change and rates of alien invasions. LDD information is not available for parameterization of current...

Estimation of spatiotemporal transmission dynamics and analysis of management scenarios for sea lice of farmed and wild salmon

Stephanie J. Peacock, Martin Krkošek, Andrew W. Bateman, Mark A. Lewis
Parasite transmission between farmed and wild salmon affects the sustainability of salmon aquaculture in Pacific Canada. Understanding and managing parasites in aquaculture is challenged by spatial and temporal variation in transmission dynamics. We developed a mechanistic model that connects sea...

Estimation of speciated and total mercury dry deposition at monitoring locations in Eastern and Central North America
Download2012
Narayan, J., Zhang, L., Gay, D.A., Miller, E.K., Dalziel, J., Zsolway, R., Holsen, T.M., St. Louis, V.L., Prestbo, E.M., Johnson, D., Risch, M.R., Graydon, J.A., Blanchard, P., Castro, M.S.
Dry deposition of speciated mercury, i.e., gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM), particulate bound mercury (PBM), and gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), was estimated for the year 2008–2009 at 19 monitoring locations in Eastern and Central North America. Dry deposition estimates were obtained by...

Searching allows animals to find food, mates, shelter and other resources essential for survival and reproduction and is thus among the most important activities performed by animals. Theory predicts that animals will use random search strategies in highly variable and unpredictable environments....
