Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)
The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ...
Diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy
(2019)
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. In the ...
Movement, resource use, and life history strategies of Black Bay Walley (Sander vitreus)
(2019)
Resource distribution across the landscape can drive movement strategy selection, from sedentary to highly mobile individuals. When paired with other forms of analysis, movement ecology can provide insight into the resource ...
Density-dependent habitat selection alters fitness in a clonal hexapod
(2019)
Density-dependent habitat selection shapes the distribution and abundance of organisms
and thus informs our understanding of the eco-evolutionary process. When habitat choice
is contingent on an individual’s expectation ...
Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) re-establishment through mechanical removal of invasive cattails (Typha angustifolia L.)
(2019)
Re-establishment of wild rice following the removal of the invasive cattail, Typha angustifolia,
was examined in a traditional and culturally important stand of wild rice belonging to the Seine
River First Nation on Rainy ...
Studies on phosphate solubilizing bacteria from two lakes in central southern Ontario
(2019)
It has been well documented that phosphorus pollution has been one of the most significant factors inhibiting aquatic health on Lake Simcoe. However, reports on the impacts of microbial contribution to phosphorus levels ...
Evaluating spatial variation in food web connectivity and energetics within the Lake Superior fish community
(2019)
Habitat coupling integrates energy between habitats, a process known to contribute to food web stability, and has been observed in Lake Superior. The degree of coupling differs among species, but the extent to which it may ...
Efficacy of various Hypholoma spp. and Phlebiopsis gigantea as biocontrol agents against root rotting fungi Armillaria ostoyae
(2019)
Conifer plantations are thinned to maximise production of high-quality timber for lumber, fire wood, and utility poles. However, thinning increases susceptibility to pathogens such as Armillaria ostoyae, a native basidiomycete ...
The effects of invasive dreissenid mussels on the offshore food web of Lake Simcoe, Ontario
(2019)
Dreissenid mussels have successfully invaded North America, including the Great Lakes and their surrounding waterbodies. With their establishment, there have been many notable impacts including the rerouting of energy flow ...
Causes and consequences of population changes in Black Bay Steelhead, Lake Superior
(2019)
Understanding species interactions is an important component of fisheries resource management. Like the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior’s fish species composition (and therefore interactions among species) has been changing ...
