    Clearly Camouflaged Crustaceans: The Physical Basis of Transparency in Hyperiid Amphipods and Anemone Shrimp 

    Bagge, Laura Elizabeth (2017)
    This dissertation research focused on the ways in which clear crustaceans with complex bodies (i.e. with hard cuticles, thick muscles, and other internal organs) maintain transparency across their entire body volume. I ...

    Evolution of Fungal Endophytes and Their Functional Transitions Between Endophytism and Saprotrophism 

    Chen, Ko-Hsuan (2017)
    The kingdom Fungi is one of the major groups of the plant microbiome(Hardoim et al., 2015; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2015; Peay et al., 2016). Of the various plant-fungus interactions, mycorrhizal fungi that form mutualistic ...

    The Behavior and Energetics of Ritualized Weapon Use in Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda) 

    Green, Patrick Andrew (2018)
    Contests are essential parts of an animal’s life history, as they dictate access to critical resources like mates, food, or territory. Studying how animals efficiently assess competitive ability to resolve contests is a ...

    Diversity and Effects of the Fungal Endophytes of the Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha 

    Nelson, Jessica Marie (2017)
    Fungal endophytes are ubiquitous inhabitants of plants and can have a wide range of effects on their hosts, from pathogenic to mutualistic. These fungal associates are important drivers of plant success and therefore contribute ...

    The Visual Ecology of the Cleaner Shrimp-Client Fish Mutualism 

    Caves, Eleanor Mary (2018)
    Cleaner shrimp are small, brightly-colored tropical crustaceans that attract reef fish clients to set locations on a reef called cleaning stations and then "clean" them by removing ectoparasites from their scales, gills, ...

    Application of Phylogenetic Analysis in Cancer Evolution 

    Ding, Yuantong (2018)
    Cancer is a major threat to human health and results in 1 in 6 deaths globally. Despite an extraordinary amount of effort and money spent, eradication or control of advanced disease has not yet been achieved. Understanding ...

    Using Genomic Tools to Understand Speciation Dynamics in Madagascar's Mouse Lemurs (Order: Primates) 

    Campbell, Christopher Ryan (2019)
    Mouse lemurs (genus Microcebus; Order Primates) are endemic to the island nation of Madagascar. These small, nocturnal primates offer a unique mammalian system ideally suited to study the patterns and processes of speciation, ...

    Evolution and development of the Drosophila peripheral olfactory system 

    Pan, Jia Wern (2017)
    How species adapt to their local environments over the course of evolution remains an important question that underlies much of modern biology. Though much has been learned, many questions remain unanswered on the interplay ...

    Evolutionary Trends in the Individuation and Polymorphism of Colonial Marine Invertebrates 

    Venit, Edward Peter (2007-05-10)
    All life is organized hierarchically. Lower levels, such as cells and zooids, are nested within higher levels, such as multicellular organisms and colonial animals. The process by which a higher-level unit forms from the ...

    THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF SCALLOP MANTLE EYES 

    Speiser, Daniel Isaac (2010)
    Scallops, a family of swimming bivalve mollusks, have dozens of eyes arrayed along the edges of their valves. Relatively little is known about the form and function of these unusual eyes. To learn more about them, we studied ...
