  Gene Complexes and their role in Worker Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Ovary Activation 

  Romeril, Abigail Jean (Thesis, Master of Science, 2013)

  Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are remarkable creatures with a complex eusocial hive structure. There are two female honeybee castes within a hive; a single queen and thousands of workers. The only reproductively active female ...
• Identification and detection of Cyanobacteria and their toxins in Pacific oysters 

  Wall, Jodi Maree (Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)

  During a cyanobacterial bloom in Lake Omapere, cyanobacterial toxins were detected in Crassostrea gigas (Pacific oyster) from the Hokianga Harbour using Enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, Detection and ...
• A sub-set of the Hox genes in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum 

  O'Neill, Meaghan Pauline (Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)

  How developmental pathways evolve to produce different morphologies is an exciting area of study. Most knowledge of invertebrate development is from D. melanogaster, or other holometabolous insects. However, the more ...

  A Tale of Two Transcription Factors: The Interaction Between PAX8 and E2F1 in Cancer Cells 

  Nyman, Jennifer E. (Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)

  The PAX gene family encodes a group of transcription factors that play important roles during embryogenesis with mutations resulting in developmental abnormalities. Normally expression of these genes is downregulated prior ...

  Signatures of Selective Sweeps in Parasite Selection Flocks 

  McRae, Kathryn Marjorie (Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)

  Gastrointestinal nematodes are the single most costly disease facing sheep production in New Zealand. Production loss due to parasitism is two-fold; the direct cost of anthelmintic treatment combines with production losses ...
