    Nutrient dynamics and stoichiometry in stormwater management ponds

    Year: 2024, 2024
    Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
    Name(s): Creator (cre): Lamond, Marisha, Thesis advisor (ths): Xenopoulos, Marguerite A., Degree committee member (dgc): Frost, Paul C., Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, M. Catherine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>Although stormwater management ponds (SWMPs) are frequently used to mitigate flooding in urban areas, we still do not fully understand how these systems impact water quality in a watershed. Currently, most research focuses on the effectiveness of SWMPs to retain nutrients during high flows, even though there is potential for internal nutrient releases to occur in these systems during low… more

    Nutrigenomics of Daphnia: Examining effects of nutrients on the Daphnia pulex transcriptome and identifying nutritional phenotypes

    Name(s): Creator (cre): Jones, Catriona Lucy Clare, Thesis advisor (ths): Frost, Paul C., Degree committee member (dgc): Shafer, Aaron B. A., Degree committee member (dgc): Crease, Teresa, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>Organismal nutrition lies at the interface between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem, dictating the transfer of energy and nutrients across trophic levels. Our ability to detect nutritional limitation in consumers is reliant on a priori knowledge of dietary history due to our inability to differentiate nutrient stress based on body-wide responses.
