Mutual mate choice in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani, with long-term sperm storage

Creator:

Eddy, Sarah L.

Abstract:

Sexual selection can influence the mating system of an organism through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...

Investigating connections between the circadian system and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:

Long, Dani M.

Abstract:

Circadian clocks coordinate molecular, cellular, physiological, and behavioral processes with the 24-hour solar day. While clock functions are well understood in young animals, it is not clear how aging or neurodegenerative disease affects the various levels of the circadian system. A common symptom of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease...

Exploring functional links between circadian clocks, neurodegeneration, and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:

Rakshit, Kuntol

Abstract:

Circadian clocks are endogenous molecular mechanisms that coordinate daily rhythms in gene expression, cellular activities, and physiological functions with external day/night cycles. Breakdown of circadian rhythms such as sleep/wake cycles is associated with the onset of several neurological diseases; however, it is not clear whether disruption of rhythms is a...
