(University of Winnipeg, 2018-12-11)
Owing to years of Indigenous lobbying, organizing, and scholarship, recent decades have
seen growing engagement with Indigenous peoples and their knowledges in environmental
management, policy-making, and research around ...
The Influence of Soil Nitrogen Level on Tomato Defence against Whiteflies
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-03)
Whiteflies are one of the leading causes of tomato yield loss worldwide. Phloem feeders, including whiteflies, prefer foliage with high nitrogen (N) content because organic N is a limiting factor for herbivores. Since soil ...
Hibernation Behaviour of Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus)
(University of Winnipeg, 2014-09-25)
For temperate endotherms (i.e., mammals and birds) energy costs are highest during winter but food availability is lowest and many mammals depend on hibernation as a result. Hibernation is made up of energy-saving torpor ...
Cain and Abel: Reimaging Stories of Violence
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-24)
This thesis uses a close reading of the Cain and Abel narrative to offer an interpretation grounded in feminist theology, which imagines a world with less violence. It draws on sources from the social sciences, peace and ...
Postmating, Prezygotic Isolation among species of the Drosophila virilis subgroup
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-12-01)
Reproductive barriers between sexually reproducing organisms prevent interbreeding and
gene flow between species. Early studies of reproductive isolation focused on prezygotic and
postzygotic isolating mechanisms, yet ...
