Linkages between mangrove forests and coral reefs : quantifying disturbance effects and energy flow between systems

Creator:

Granek, Elise F.

Abstract:

Interface habitats are considered valuable natural systems, tightly linked to adjacent habitats through the flow of matter and energy. However, there is limited research on mechanisms of connectivity such as movement of organisms and particulate matter and ways in which anthropogenic disturbance to interface habitats may affect immediate and adjacent...

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...
