Regulation of late gene expression in vaccinia virus

Creator:: Weinrich, Scott L.
Abstract:: The prototypal poxvirus vaccinia is a cytoplasmic-replicating DNA virus which contains a large genome with the capacity to encode 200 polypeptides. Tight temporal regulation coordinates the expression of this large number of genes throughout a relatively short replication cycle. As a first step towards identifying and understanding the regulatory mechanisms...

FriedlaenderAriFisheriesWildlifeEvidenceAcousticCommunication.pdf

Creator:: Parks, Susan E., Cusano, Dana A., Stimpert, Alison K., Weinrich, Mason T., Friedlaender, Ari S., and Wiley, David N.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), a mysticete with a cosmopolitan distribution, demonstrate marked behavioural plasticity. Recent studies show evidence of social learning in the transmission of specific population level traits ranging from complex singing to stereotyped prey capturing behaviour. Humpback whales have been observed to employ group foraging techniques, however details...

Stress and reproduction in male garter snakes

Creator:: Moore, Ignacio T.
Abstract:: Animals respond to stressful situations with increases in plasma levels of glucocorticoid stress hormones. These hormones originate from the adrenal cortex in response to stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Glucocorticoids (corticosterone in reptiles) function to mobilize energy and suppress unnecessary functions until the stress passes. Among these immediately unnecessary functions...

The ontogeny and mediation of sexual size dimorphism in the red-spotted garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus

Creator:: Lerner, Darren T.
Abstract:: A wide range of environmental and physiological factors influence the type and extent of sexual dimorphism found in animals. Influential factors include variable climate, competition for resources and mates, mate choice, and parental investment. In addition, some investigators attribute differences in body size to physiological factors influenced by genetic and...

Life in a Rapidly Changing Environment: The Thermal Biology of the Red-sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis)

Creator:: Hubert, David L.
Abstract:: At a time when environmental conditions are rapidly changing, understanding how thermal extremes impact wildlife is imperative to fully understanding the consequences of climate change in natural ecosystems. While many organisms are currently impacted by rapidly warming and more erratic environmental conditions, identifying and investigating model species whose life histories...

Sources of variability in duration of anesthesia with brevital sodium in snakes

Creator:: Preston, Daniel L.
Abstract:: Variability in the depth and duration of anesthesia in individuals within a species is frequently observed, yet few studies have investigated its causes in reptiles. To evaluate the potential causes of variability in reptile anesthesia, I conducted experiments to test for effects of body temperature, body composition and time post-feeding...

Reproductive implications of parasitic infections and immune challenges in garter snakes

Creator:: Uhrig, Emily J.
Abstract:: Parasitic infections and immune challenges can affect host reproductive fitness and, ultimately, the evolution of host populations in a myriad of ways. The fitness implications of parasitic infections range from increased host mortality to subtle changes in reproductive investment. From alterations of behaviors, sexual signaling, and competitive ability to changes...

Effect of Captivity on Chemical Profiles of the Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: Rudie, Katherine A.
Abstract:: This study investigated the effect of captivity on the chemical profiles of the female sexual attractiveness pheromone of the red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). Dorsal skin lipids were extracted from female garter snakes collected from the Interlake region of Manitoba, Canada. A comparison of captive and wild snakes was...
