  • Environmental Variables and Gene Expression Profiles Associated with Cueing Reproductive Events in Cnidarians

    Crowder, Camerron M.
    Abstract:
    Coral reproduction is vital to the persistence of coral reefs. Decades of ecological studies have correlated environmental variables, such as temperature and light, to the timing of reproduction in anthozoan cnidarians, including corals and sea anemones. However, elevated temperatures associated with climate change impair reproductive success and threaten the resilience...

  • The Effects of Host and Pathogen Variation on Infection Dynamics in the Amphibian-Chytrid System

    Creator:
    Dang, Trang D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation uses manipulative experiments to explore amphibian-Bd infection dynamics. Although there has been almost two decades research since the discovery of Bd, many questions still remain regarding what conditions mediate chytridiomycosis virulence. My research shows how certain host and pathogen factors can influence disease virulence. Identifying how host and...
