How does environmental variation effect fitness of density-dependent habitat selectors? / by Jody T. MacEachern.
(2010)
The spatial distribution of animals can arise through a variety of habitat-selection strategies. It is unclear which habitat characteristics lead to the evolution of one of these strategies over another. Thus I use an ...
Functional niche differentiation in co-occurring congeneric plants / by Md Saiful Islam Khan.
(2014)
"Niche differentiation is argued as one of the mechanisms explaining species coexistence. Despite their sessile nature, similar resource needs and traits to acquire and utilize resources closely related plant species ...
Factors that predict brook trout distribution, thermal habitat, and abundance in Northwestern Ontario streams
(1995)
Predictive models were developed to improve the understanding of
stream-resident brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations and habitat in
northwestern Ontario, and to facilitate protection of stream-resident brook ...

The morphology of elaphostrongyline nematodes parasitizing North American
cervids was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy in order to improve
previous descriptions that were based exclusively on light ...
Effect of biofilm and the role of rpoS on the survival of a p-Nitrophenol-degrading Pseudomonas putida / by Miranda Maki.
(2008)
Pseudomonas putida is a Gram negative bacterium that can be found naturally in the environment as planktonic free-living cells, or in concert with other bacterial species in biofilms. In this study, the P. putida strain ...
