Investigating the Genetic, Evolutionary, and Functional Mechanisms of Adaptations to Copper Mine Tailings in Mimulus guttatus
(2017)The evolution of copper tolerance in the common yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus, is a classic example of rapid adaptation in plants; however, little is yet known about the genetic, functional, and evolutionary mechanisms ... -
Is Rapid Adaptation to New Environments Fueled by Old Mutations? A Case Study of Copper Tolerance on Mimulus guttatus
(2016-06-08)Rapid adaptation and tolerance is a phenomenon experienced by a variety of organisms typically because of new and harsh environments. Mimulus guttatus, a plant commonly seen on the west coast of the United States, is a prime ... -
The selective and developmental maintenance of genetic variation in a natural population of Mimulus guttatus
(2017)The maintenance of genetic variation for quantitative traits has long puzzled evolutionary biologists. Previous studies have effectively interrogated large genomic regions both in the greenhouse and field to understand the ... -
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 ...
