Dean Koch, Subhash Lele, Mark A. Lewis
When working with contemporary spatial ecological datasets, statistical modellers are often confronted by two major challenges: (I) the need for covariance models with the flexibility to accomodate directional patterns of anisotropy; and (II) the computational effort demanded by high-dimensional...

Concomitant loss of NDH complex‐related genes within chloroplast and nuclear genomes in some orchids
2017-04-11
Ming‐Che Shih, Chi‐Chou Chiu, Jer‐Ming Hu, Chen‐Jui Yang, Han CW Hsiao, Choun‐Sea Lin, Wen Wang, Gane Ka‐Shu Wong, Wan‐Jung Chang, Xiao‐Hua Jin, James Leebens‐Mack, Claude W Pamphilis, Yao‐Ting Huang, Jeremy JW Chen, Ling‐Hung Yang, Ling Kui
The chloroplast NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex consists of about 30 subunits from both the nuclear and chloroplast genomes and is ubiquitous across most land plants. In some orchids, such as Phalaenopsis equestris, Dendrobium officinale and Dendrobium catenatum, most of the 11...

Conditional, temperature-induced proteolytic regulation of cyanobacterial RNA helicase expression
Download2014
Owttrim, George W., Tarassova, Oxana S., Chamot, Danuta
Conditional proteolysis is a crucial process regulating the abundance of key regulatory proteins associated with the cell cycle, differentiation pathways, or cellular response to abiotic stress in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. We provide evidence that conditional proteolysis is involved...

Consequences of distributional asymmetry in a warming environment: Invasion of novel forests by the mountain pine beetle
Download2017
Burke, Jordan Lewis, Bohlmann, Joerg, Carroll, Allan L.
The range of many Holarctic forest insects does not comprise the entire range of their hosts, as they are often limited to more southern latitudes by the adverse effects of cold temperatures. Global climate warming has led to the increased potential for forest insects to invade novel habitats of...

Consequences of mountain pine beetle outbreak on forest ecosystem services in western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Dhar, Amalesh, Parrott, Lael, Heckbert, Scott
After affecting millions of hectares of pine forests in western Canada , the mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonous ponderosae Hopkins) is spreading out of its native range and into Canada's boreal forest . Impacts of outbreaks can be environmental, economic, and social, and an ecosystem...

Conservation Reserve Program is a key element for managing white-tailed deer populations at multiple spatial scales
Download2019-01-01
Mariana B. Nagy-Reis, Mark A. Lewis, William F. Jensen, Mark S. Boyce
Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving population demographics such as species-habitat relationships and the spatial scale in which these relationships occur is essential for developing optimal management strategies. Here we evaluated how landscape characteristics and winter severity...

Conserving Alberta’s Biodiversity Under a Changing Climate: A Review and Analysis of Adaptation Measures
Download2014
As a province and a nation we have committed to conserving our native biodiversity. In this discussion paper I examine this goal through the lens of climate change. The intent is to draw attention to issues that need to be addressed and to illustrate options for adapting our current system of...
