Year: 2020, 2020
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Illes, Mike, Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Paul J, Degree committee member (dgc): Bruce, Catherine, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Chris, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Forensic epistemology is the study of knowledge as it relates to forensic science and can be broken into four sources; intuitive, authoritative, logical and empirical. In a four-phase research approach, I explored reasoning skills (logical knowledge) used by crime scene experts and methods (empirical knowledge) for forensic case-specific experimentation. First, the reasoning skills of… more

Mitogenome characterization of the shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) for international trade validation of aquaculture-reared caviar

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

Comparative Evaluation of Effective Population Size Genetic Estimation Methods in Wild Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Populations

Name(s): Creator (cre): Alshamlih, Mohammed M., Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Freeland, Joanna, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Chris, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Effective population size (Ne) is a key concept in population genetics, evolutionary biology and conservation biology that describes an important facet of genetic diversity and the capacity of populations to respond to future evolutionary pressures. The importance of Ne in management and conservation of wild populations encouraged the development of numerous genetic estimators which rely… more
