Expression of oxidative stress response genes in Campylobacter jejuni biofilms / by David Andrew Brookes.
(2007)
'Campylobacter jejuni' is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that is widely believed to be the number one cause of food borne gastroenteritis and diarrhea caused by bacteria. The ability to form biofilms may provide ...
Effects of ultra violet and visible light on bacterial survival / by Natasha Vermeulen.
(2006)
The optical dose in mJ/cm[superscript]2 for causing mortality of Escherichia coli, using wavelengths between 230-375 nm in the UV and 400-532 nm in the mid-visible spectral regions, has been determined in
this study. ...
Status of turtle populations in Point Pelee National Park
(2003)
Loss of biodiversity has been an irrepressible consequence of growing human populations and
resource use. Some groups, such as turtles, are especially vulnerable because of their natural
history. Turtles are threatened ...
Health, nutritional condition, and productivity of female moose (Alces alces) in Northwestern Ontario
(2003)
Creation or maintenance of moose habitat through logging requires an understanding of
how particular timber-harvest practices affect nutritional interactions of adult females and their
subsequent production of young. I ...
Pattern and chronology of prebasic moult in wood-warblers (Parulidae)
(2003)
This study compared the pattern and chronology of the prebasic moult in
seven warbler species (Parulidae) at two locations in Ontario. Yellow Warblers
{Dendroica petechia) were the earliest to start flight feather moult. ...
Efficacy and optimization of molecular techniques for sexing skeletonized human remains
(2003)
Forensic anthropologists and bioarchaeologists are often confronted with the problem of
sex determination in poorly preserved, skeletonized, adult, human remains. This thesis
tests the ability o f newly developed DNA ...
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 ...
Small-scale disturbance and vegetation dynamics in trembling aspen dominated forests in northeastern Ontario
(2004)
The scientific understanding of boreal forest stand development and vegetation
dynamics has been well documented with respect to stand-initiating disturbances;
however, the role of subtler disturbance events has received ...
Edge effects at clearcut, fire and riparian buffers in the boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario
(2004)
In the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario clearcutting and fire are two common
edge-creating disturbances. Fundamental knowledge regarding the ability of fire and
clearcut edges to minimize edge effects, preserve ...
Species richness, species incidence and turnover of amphibians in Northwestern Ontario : assessing the role of habitat characteristics
(2004)
There has been recent global concern over the decline of some amphibian
populations. The loss of amphibian species is of concern because they play a crucial role in
ecosystem structure and are indicators of ecosystem ...
