Name(s): Creator (cre): Vanderwolf, Karen J, Thesis advisor (ths): Davy, Christina, Thesis advisor (ths): Kyle, Christopher, Degree committee member (dgc): Donaldson, Michael, Degree committee member (dgc): McAlpine, Donald, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a skin disease of bats caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) that damages flight membranes during hibernation and can lead to death. The disease causes mortality of multiple bat species in eastern North America and is spreading into western North America. Future impacts of WNS on naïve bat populations are unknown. Variation in host… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Marsh, Kayla Margaret, Thesis advisor (ths): Saville, Barry J, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Christopher, Degree committee member (dgc): Dorken, Marcel, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Puccinia triticina, wheat leaf rust (WLR), is the most economically damaging fungal rust of wheat on a global scale. This study identified transcriptome changes in a recently emerged race of WLR in Ontario with a new virulence type relative to a possible ancestor race. Also, this study focused on detecting variation in candidate virulence genes and uncovering novel insight into WLR… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): MacDonald, Amanda Marie, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Paul J, Degree committee member (dgc): Saville, Barry, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Christopher, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) are a class of highly polymorphic microsatellites which occur in neutral and non-neutral loci and may provide utility for individual- and population-identification. Exonic trinucleotide motifs, in particular, offer additional advantages for non-human species that typically utilize dinucleotide microsatellite loci. Specifically, the reduction of technical… more
