  • Evolutionary Dynamics of Genomes and Endosymbionts in Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

    Creator:
    Wasala, Wasala Mudiyanselage Sulochana K.
    Abstract:
    Plant-parasitic nematodes cause more than US $100 billion in annual agriculture loss worldwide. Thorough knowledge of their genetic diversity, and interactions with endosymbionts and environment have the potential to provide valuable insights into the basic biology of these animals, and assist future efforts aimed at management of these plant parasites....

  • Evolutionary Insights into Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis from Natural Variation in Aiptasia Sea Anemones

    Creator:
    Bellis, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...

  • The genus Caenorhabditis : a system for testing evolutionary questions

    Creator:
    Raboin, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Caenorhabditis elegans is arguably the best understood animal on the planet. Used for over 50 years to study development, we have a vast amount of knowledge of the inner workings of this worm. Our knowledge is incomplete, however, without placing this organism in its evolutionary and ecological context. In this...
