Seven formations of the Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group
sedimentary rocks are exposed on Saturna and Tumbo Islands. These
formations are, from oldest to youngest, the Extension-Protection,
Cedar District, DeCourcy, Northumberland, Geoffrey, Spray, and
Gabriola. The rocks represent four successive cycles of deltaic
sedimentation, the oldest and the youngest of which...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF

Micropropagation of hazelnut (Corylus avellana
L.) is typically difficult because of the wide variation
in response among cultivars. This study was designed to
determine the required mineral nutrient concentrations for
micropropagation of C. avellana cultivars using a response
surface design analysis. Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut
(DKW) medium mineral nutrients were...

In many regions of the world, forest management has shifted from practices emphasizing timber production to more sustainable harvesting that integrates ecological values, including maintenance of biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and ecological goods and services. To this end, management strategies emphasize retention of stand structures that meet the needs of forest-obligate...

Successful host cell colonization by the Q fever pathogen, Coxiella burnetii, requires translocation of effector proteins into
the host cytosol by a Dot/Icm type 4B secretion system (T4BSS). In Legionella pneumophila, the two-component system (TCS)
PmrAB regulates the Dot/Icm T4BSS and several additional physiological processes associated with pathogenesis. Because PmrA...

What is the nature of evolutionary divergence of the jaw skeleton within the genus Oncorhynchus? How can two associated bones evolve new shapes and still maintain functional integration? Here, we introduce and test a ‘concordance’ hypothesis, in which an extraordinary matching of the evolutionary shape changes of the dentary and...
