Integrating genetics, geography, and local adaptation to understand ecotype formation in the yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus
(2010)Speciation is a constantly ongoing process whereby reproductive isolating baririer build up over time until groups of organisms can no longer exchange genes with each other. Adaptation is thought to play a major role in ... -
Selection and Constraint: Population Genetic Approaches to Understanding the Evolution of Sea Urchin Development
(2011)Changes in the expression and function of genes active during metazoan development have played a critical role in the evolution of morphological differences between species and phyla, yet the origins of these changes remain ... -
Theoretical and Emperical Investigations into Adaptation
(2010)The problem is two fold: how does natural selection operate on systems of interacting genes and how does natural selection operate in natural populations. To address the first problem, I have conducted a theoretical investigation ... -
Zebrafish Cardiac Development Requires a Conserved Secondary Heart Field
(2011)Despite its lack of septation, the tissue patterning of the arterial pole of the zebrafish is remarkably similar to the patterning of pulmonary and aortic arterial poles observed in mouse and chick. The secondary heart ...
