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 ... -
Testing the Prey-Trap Hypothesis at Two Wildlife Conservancies in Kenya
(2015-10-21)Protecting an endangered and highly poached species can conflict with providing an open and ecologically connected landscape for coexisting species. In Kenya, about half of the black rhino (Diceros bicornis) live in ... -
Testing the effects of perimeter fencing and elephant exclosures on lion predation patterns in a Kenyan wildlife conservancy
(2016-02-11)The use of fences to segregate wildlife can change predator and prey behaviour. Predators can learn to incorporate fencing into their hunting strategies and prey can learn to avoid foraging near fences. A twelve-strand ... -
Colonization and usage of an artificial urban wetland complex by freshwater turtles
(2018-08-08)Conservation authorities invest heavily in the restoration and/or creation of wetlands to counteract the destruction of habitat caused by urbanization. Monitoring the colonization of these new wetlands is critical to an ... -
A ghost fence-gap: surprising wildlife usage of an obsolete fence crossing
(2018-11-27)Wildlife fencing has become more prevalent throughout Africa, although it has come with a price of increased habitat fragmentation and loss of habitat connectivity. In an effort to increase connectivity, managers of fenced ... -
Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul: managing threatened predators of endangered and declining prey species
(2019-10-15)Conservation policy and practice can sometimes run counter to their mutual aims of ensuring species survival. In Kenya, where threatened predators such as lion deplete endangered prey such as Grevy’s zebra, conservation ... -

The Churchill Community of Knowledge Digital Archive is a YorkSpace Institutional ... -
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 ... -
Coaching for life -- my life
(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 ...
