Principal Investigator: Johnson, Jim
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mackenzie River basin broad whitefish represent a mixed-stock population which utilizes different geographical areas for different stages of its life history. The study will examine the role of outer delta lakes and lakes/rivers of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in the life history of the Mackenzie River population....

Principal Investigator: Crease, Teresa
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and her team will collect Daphnia pulex (water flea) samples and maintain them in culture to obtain sufficient material for genetic analysis....

Principal Investigator: Reist, James D.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This work is a continuation of a 3 year FJMC funded study to determine genetic stock and structure of the broad whitefish population utilized by communities of the Mackenzie River basin....

Principal Investigator: Eger, Judith
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The investigators will study the chromosomal and genetic variation in collared lemmings to assess the effect of isolation of different populations in glacial refugia. They will compare this species with the brown lemming....

Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will apply new tag technology and DNA analysis to a study of site tenacity and industrial disturbance of bowhead whales. They will test the feasibility of using sonic tags to track bowheads underwater and will be testing sampling methods for collecting skin from live whales for DNA analysis....

Principal Investigator: Green, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the ongoing study designed to investigate the postglacial dispersal patterns of freshwater and anadromous fishes by determining genetic relationships between fish populations inhabiting the rivers. Tissue samples will be collected and the genetic variations will be determined through analysis for selected proteins....

Principal Investigator: Marvin, LuDean
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...

Principal Investigator: Hebert, Paul D.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the genetics and ecology of very small organisms in freshwater lakes and rivers. The organisms (zooplankton) will be sampled and catalogued for identification purposes....
