Name(s): Creator (cre): Thompson, Laura Marie, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Paul J., Degree committee member (dgc): Pond, Bruce, Degree committee member (dgc): Schaefer, James, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Maintaining functional connectivity among wildlife populations is important to ensure genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of declining populations, particularly when managing species at risk. The Boreal Designatable Unit (DU) of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan has declined in southern portions of the range because of increased… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Kerr, Emily, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Paul J., Degree committee member (dgc): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Chris, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Identifying the population origin of aquaculture-reared caviar is crucial for both conservation and management strategies of farmed fish but could also facilitate international trade of a CITES regulated product. Shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) is the main source of caviar production in Atlantic Canada, from Breviro Caviar Inc. aquaculture facility. Shortnose sturgeon are… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Bertrand, Philip, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Paul J., Thesis advisor (ths): Manseau, Micheline, Degree committee member (dgc): Bowman, Jeff, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Sex-specific genetic structure is a commonly observed pattern among vertebrate species. Facing differential selective pressures, individuals may adopt sex-specific life historical traits that ultimately shape genetic variation among populations. Although differential dispersal dynamics are commonly detected in the literature, few studies have investigated the potential effect of sex-… more
