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 ...

Investigating the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Drivers of Primate Heterothermy 

Faherty, Sheena Lee (2016)
Seasonal heterothermy—an orchestrated set of extreme physiological responses—is directly responsible for the over-winter survival of many mammalian groups living in seasonal environments. Historically, it was thought that ...

The selective and developmental maintenance of genetic variation in a natural population of Mimulus guttatus 

Troth, Ashley (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 ...

The Genetic Basis of Local Adaptation to Serpentine Soils in Mimulus guttatus 

Selby, Jessica (2014)
While local adaptation has been frequently demonstrated via reciprocal transplant experiments, our understanding of the genetic basis of it remains minimal. There is a notable lack of studies that identify naturally segregating ...

Functional Interactions and Evolution of cAMP-PKA Signaling in Saccharomyces 

KAYIKCI, OMUR (2013)
In an attempt to gain more insight on functional evolution of cAMP-PKA pathway I have taken a comparative approach and examined functional interactions of cAMP-PKA signaling in well-studied yeast developmental programs and ...

Causes and Consequences of Recombination Rate Variation in Drosophila 

Stevison, Laurie S. (2011)
Recombination occurs during meiosis to produce new allelic combinations in natural populations, and thus strongly affects evolutionary processes. The model system Drosophila has been crucial for understanding the mechanics ...

B-cyclin/CDK Regulation of Mitotic Spindle Assembly through Phosphorylation of Kinesin-5 Motors in the Budding Yeast, <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic> 

Chee, Mark Kuan Leng (2012)
Although it has been known for many years that B-cyclin/CDK complexes regulate the assembly of the mitotic spindle and entry into mitosis, the full complement of relevant CDK targets has not been identified. It has previously ...

The Role of Polyploidy in Phenotypic and Genomic Evolution in the Shy Monkeyflower, <i>Mimulus sookensis<i> 

Modliszewski, Jennifer Louise (2012)
In an ever-changing world, evolution is an essential process that may allow organisms to adapt to their environment through natural selection. All evolutionary processes act through a single fundamental medium: genetic variation. ...

Evolutionary and Ecological Factors Maintaining Apomixis in Boechera, a Wild Relative of Arabidopsis 

Rushworth, Catherine Ann Scheelky (2015)
What evolutionary processes and ecological patterns underlie the maintenance of asexual reproduction in natural populations? Although a vast body of literature offers theory to explain the existence of sexual and asexual ...
