Abundance, transportation, and preservation of Mysis diluviana eDNA in freshwater ecosystems
(2021)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting rare or
invasive species, particularly within the Great Lakes and surrounding aquatic ecosystems.
Recent work has shown that sedimentary eDNA (sedDNA) ...
Study of the activation of the inflammasome protein complex by Haemophilus influenzae Type a
(2021)
Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a gram-negative bacterium capable of causing
severe invasive infection such as meningitis and is classified by the presence or absence
of polysaccharide capsule. The polysaccharide capsule ...
Isolation of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria with plant growth promoting characteristics to enhance phytoremediation of arsenic
(2021)
A common strategy for remediation of arsenic is bacterial remediation by oxidation of As(III) to
the less toxic As(V). Another widely accepted technique for arsenic remediation is
phytoremediation however in highly ...
Utilization of alternative testing methods in the evaluation of pulp and paper mill effluent toxicity
(2020)
Pulp mills are required to perform routine regulatory testing to ensure the effluent they release
from their water treatment plants is not harmful to humans and the environment. The key components
within the effluent ...
Salmonid thermal habitats in Lake Superior tributaries
(2020)
For some potamodromous salmonid species, such as the Brook Trout, streams are a critical
spawning habitat but also habitat for juveniles and stream residents to grow. Salmonids are coldwater fishes and cooler stream water ...
Utilization of hydrodynamic modeling in predicting water quality and Brook Trout habitat: reclamation of a mine impacted Boreal Shield Lake
(2020)
Mining operations in Ontario are subject to regulatory limits on effluent release into
surrounding waterbodies designed to preserve aquatic life. However, said guidelines may not
always be enough to prevent damage to the ...
Exploring the effect of predator experience on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) behaviour and predator recognition
(2020)
Recreational and commercial fisheries are important resources that can be
vulnerable to disruption by invasive species, particularly the introduction of top predators
into water systems that have not previously supported ...
