Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

Natural history and evolution of a color polymorphism in Rana pipiens, the northern leopard frog

Creator:: Hoffman, Eric A.
Abstract:: A primary goal of population genetics is to identify the role of microevolutionary forces in producing observed patterns of molecular and phenotypic variation. I conducted four studies in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to determine just how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection influenced, genetic structure of mitochondrial DNA...

Fecundity and longevity in Tribolium castaneum : a selection experiment

Creator:: Treneman, Nancy C.
Abstract:: Recent experimental and theoretical work has examined the possible genetic causes of senescence. These are reviewed, and four types of factors are found to be responsible for the evolution of senescence and age specific fecundity curves: 1. Age specific mortality schedules, 2.Density dependent factors, 3. Density independent factors, 4. Random...

Population and conservation genetic structure of the Cascades frog, Rana cascadae throughout the species' range

Creator:: Monsen, Kirsten J.
Abstract:: A major goal of conservation biology is to elucidate the population genetic structure in threatened species and assess the relative importance of the evolutionary forces that shape that population genetic structure. I conducted three studies in the declining amphibian Rana cascadae to assess levels of population genetic differentiation and the...

Sulfide metabolism in Lucina floridana, a sulfur symbiont-containing marine clam

Creator:: Larabee, Jeannine Kay
Abstract:: Lucina floridana is an intertidal clam that contains intracellular, sulfur-oxidizing symbiotic bacteria in its gills. These bacteria are chemolithoautotrophic, using the energy from the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds to power carbon fixation. Although sulfide is an energy-rich compound, it is also toxic to aerobic metabolism and autooxidizes in the...

Cardiovascular and respiratory responses of the ghost shrimp, Callianassa californiensis Dana, to the pesticide carbaryl and its hydrolytic product 1-naphthol

Creator:: Estes, Patricia S.
Abstract:: Many environmental factors influence cardiovascular and respiratory activities of crustaceans. The effects of natural stressors (hypoxia, low salinity, high temperature) have been well studied, but the effects of pollutants upon these two organ systems have received less attention. The presence of the pesticide carbaryl (Sevin, Union Carbide, Inc.) and its...

Aquatic community responses to drought disturbance: experimental manipulations of top predator extinctions and stream drying

Creator:: Boersma, Kate S.
Abstract:: Although it is generally assumed that the intensifying abiotic environment is the primary effect of drought on aquatic organisms, drought-induced top predator extinctions may be an important underlying mechanism. I used manipulative experiments to disentangle the impacts of drying and top predator extinctions on arid-land aquatic invertebrate communities. I then...

Modulation of respiratory burst activity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytic cells

Creator:: Galvan, Irja S.
Abstract:: In a comparison of the mammalian and fish immune systems many similarities and differences are found. While most of the differences occur in the acquired or lymphoid arm of immunity, the nonlymphoid immune systems of fish and mammals share many similarities. For instance, both animal groups use phagocytic neutrophils and...

The relationship between body size and metabolism in Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque

Creator:: Behrisch, Hans Werner
Abstract:: Weight-specific oxygen consumption of intact bluegill sunfish was estimated in relation to body weight and temperature by the sealed jar method. The relationship between body weight and weight-specific oxygen consumption was represented by the equation: Y = aX[superscript b]⁻¹ in which Y is the weight-specific oxygen consumption, expressed as cc/kg/hr,...
