A longitudinal mitochondrial DNA analysis of modern human hair samples from the Anyang region of China : implications for ancient DNA research
(2003)In 1998, Dr. E. Molto was selected to conduct pilot research on the Hei Heru, Shang Dynasty site in Anyang, China. A major component of this research is the ancient DNA analysis o f human remains recovered at Anyang. ... -
Activity of liposomal taxol against breast cancer cells / by Melanie Heney.
(2007)Taxol (paclitaxel) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents used for the treatment of multiple cancers, including breast, ovarian, and, non-small-cell lung cancer. However, development of taxol resistance with ... -
Amphibian species richness and distribution in northwestern Ontario : the importance of hydroperiod
(2004)The preservation of biodiversity has become a fundamental ecological goal in recent years. If we wish to prevent or reverse worldwide amphibian declines it is imperative that we understand patterns of abundance ... -
Annotated list of the ants of the Thunder Bay District
(1970)Thirty nine species and subspecies of ants were collected from the Thunder Bay District of Ontario, Canada, in the summer of 1970. Extensions of known range were recorded for Leptothorax poss. texanus, Camponotus ... -
Annual production and population dynamics of a relatively unexploited walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum (Mitchill 1818), population in Savanne Lake, Ontario
(1979)Most studies of the walleye have been conducted on highly exploited populations. Savanne Lake in northwestern Ontario, and having an area of 364.29 ha, was exploited until 1969, whereupon it was designated a fish ... -
Aspects of the reproductive biology of clintonia borealis (Ait.) Raf.
(1980)The rhizome of Clintonia borealis tAit.) Raf, was shown to store large quantities of total nonstructural carbohydrates up until fall dormancy and to draw upon these reserves during the spring growth period, however the ... -
Attempts to differentiate elaphostrongyline larvae (Nematoda : Protostrongylidae) using guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) as alternate hosts
(1989)First-and third-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, P. andersoni and Elaphostrongylus cervi could not be distinguished morphometrically. Third-stage larvae of P. tenuis did develop into recognizable adults ... -
Behavioral bioassay examining the effects of ethanol on flagfish reproduction
(1983)A behavioral bioassay method was developed to examine the effects of ethanol on the reproductive success and behavior of flagfish (Jordanella floridae). Reproductive behavior was divided into eight categories; egg ... -
Behaviour and reproductive success of female-female pairs of Ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarenis), Granite Island
(1982)Female-female pairs of Ring-billed Gulls were studied on Granite Island, northern Lake Superior, during the breeding seasons of 1979 and 1980. In 1979 the colony consisted of approximately 2400 pairs with 99 nests (4.1%) ... -
Biodegradation of fenitrothion and fenitrooxon by the soil fungus Trichoderma viride
(1987)The biodegradation of fenitrothion (0,0-dimethyl-0-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)- phosphorothioate and fenitrooxon (0,0-dimethyl-0-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)phosphate by the soil fungus Trichoderma viride Pers. has been ... -
Biology and histopathology of Proteocephalus ambloplitis Liedy, 1887, infecting walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) and yellow perch (Perea flavescens) in Lake of the Woods, Ontario
(1985)Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum ) and yellow perch (Perea flavescens ) from Lake of the Woods were examined for parenteral Proteocephalus ambloplitis from May to November, 1982 and 1983. One hundred percent of ... -
Biology of "peak" and "late" nesting Ring-billed gulls, Granite Island, Lake Superior
(1982)Late-nesting Ring-billed Gulls in this study laid fewer and smaller eggs and hatched fewer young than earlier nesting pairs. Birds nesting late in the season appeared to lack sufficient stimuli for incubation, as indicated ... -
Biology of Cystidicola farionis Fischer, 1798 (Nematoda : Cystidicolidae) in salmonid fishes
(1987)Morphological studies, experimental cross-infections and host specificity data suggest that the species of swimbladder nematode which matures in Coregonus clupeaformis, from inland lakes is not distinct from Cystidicola ... -
Biology of rumen flukes (Trematoda: Paramphistomatidae) in moose, Alces alces L., in northwestern Ontario
(1985)Paramphistoines {Parampbistomum sp.) were found in 86% of 160 moose rumens collected from northwestern Ontario at all seasons of the year. All moose older than 2.4 years were infected. The number of flukes per moose ranged ... -
Biology of the gastro-intestinal helminths of woodland and barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
(1987)Twenty-one species of helminths were recovered from wild and captive caribou (Rangifer tarandus). Woodland caribou of the Slate Islands, barren-ground caribou of the Beverly herd and captive woodland caribou were parasitized ... -
