Revisiting the hypothesis of sex-biased turtle road mortality
(2019)Road mortality poses a major threat to turtle populations. Several studies have suggested that the terrestrial movements associated with nesting increase this risk for females. The Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTCC) ... -
Remarkable Male Bias in a Population of Midland Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta marginata) in Ontario, Canada
(2017-04-30)We report on male sex bias in a population of Midland Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta marginata) at a wetland near Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The wetland is bisected by a major arterial road and characterized by high traffic ... -

Supplementary raw data files for "Unpacking multi-trophic herbivore-grass-endophyte interactions: feedbacks across different scales in vegetation responses to Soay sheep herbivory". Revised manuscript submitted to The Science of Nature (Naturwissenschaften) on August 26, 2018 11/11 files
(2018)Grazing can induce changes in both plant productivity and nutritional quality, which may subsequently influence herbivore carrying capacity. While research on Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) dynamics on Hirta Island in the St ... -

A molecular model of the tombusvirus p92 RNA directed RNA polymerase (RDRP)
(2016-10-23)This is molecular model of the p92 RNA directed RNA polymerase. This model was prepared in four stages from a published crystal structure of a related protein from Hepatitis C Virus (2XYM). -
A model for dimerization of the SOX Group E transcription factor family
(2016-04-22)Group E members of the SOX transcription factor family include SOX8, SOX9, and SOX10. Preceding the high mobility group (HMG) domain in each of these proteins is a thirty-eight amino acid region that supports the formation ... -

(Association of Universities and Colleges of CanadaAssociation of Universities and Colleges of Canada, 2005-11)Juggling a demanding academic career with family responsibilities – sound familiar? I nearly called it quits. Instead, I called a coach -
Master-Slave Algorithm for Highly Accurate and Rapid Computation of the Voigt/Complex Error Function
(Journal of Mathematics Research, 2014-06)We obtain a rational approximation of the Voigt/complex error function by Fourier expansion of the exponential function ${e^{ - {{\left( {t - 2\sigma } \right)}^2}}}$ and present master-slave algorithm for its efficient ... -
Antiviral Strategies for Emerging Influenza Viruses in Remote Communities
(PLoS ONE, 2013-04-22)Background: Due to the lack of timely access to resources for critical care, strategic use of antiviral drugs is crucial for mitigating the impact of novel influenza viruses with pandemic potential in remote and isolated ... -
A Test for Pre-Adapted Phenotypic Plasticity in the Invasive Tree Acer negundo L.
(PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2013-09-09)Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism associated with the spread of exotic plants and previous studies have found that invasive species are generally more plastic than co-occurring species. Comparatively, the evolution ... -
The Heterodimeric Glycoprotein Hormone, GPA2/GPB5, Regulates Ion Transport across the Hindgut of the Adult Mosquito, Aedes aegypti
(PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2014-01-20)A family of evolutionarily old hormones is the glycoprotein cysteine knot-forming eterodimers consisting of alpha- (GPA) and beta-subunits (GPB), which assemble by noncovalent bonds. In mammals, a common glycoprotein ... -
Bees collect polyurethane and polyethylene plastics as novel nest materials
(Ecological Society of AmericaEcological Society of America, 2013-12-31)Plastic waste pervades the global landscape. Although adverse impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, there are few observations of behavioral flexibility and adaptation in species, especially insects, ... -
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: the Importance of Rejection, Power, and Editors in the Practice of Scientific Publishing
(PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2013-12-30)Peer review is an important element of scientific communication but deserves quantitative examination. We used data from the handling service manuscript Central for ten mid-tier ecology and evolution journals to test whether ... -
Effects of Endophyte Infection on the Performance of Fall Armyworm Feeding on Meadow Fescue under a Range of Water Stress Levels
(2013-07-18)Les endophytes fournissent une protection à leur hôte contre les herbivores via la synthèse d'alcaloïdes. Sous le stress de la sécheresse, certains organismes photosynthétiques profitent de leurs relations symbiotiques ...
