  • Connecting microevolutionary processes with macroevolutionary patterns across space and time

    Creator:
    Uyeda, Josef C.
    Abstract:
    Whether microevolutionary processes can explain macroevolutionary patterns has long been a matter of contentious debate. The debate has persisted largely because of the challenging task of connecting microevolutionary theory, which examines population-level phenomena on the generation scale, to data collected across larger spatial and temporal scales. My dissertation research broadly...

  • On the evolution of correlated color traits in garter snakes

    Creator:
    Westphal, Michael F.
    Abstract:
    How complex traits evolve continues to be a major focus of evolutionary investigation. A current topic of debate is the hypothesis that the phenotypic integration of complex traits gives rise to evolutionary constraints. I studied two color traits in the common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis, that show a high level...

  • Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

    Creator:
    Biga, Lindsay M.
    Abstract:
    Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...
