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

Creator:

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...

Trade-offs in a pathogen-rich world : genetic and maternal drivers of variation in costly resistance and immunity in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Creator:

Tavalire, Hannah F.

Abstract:

Disease acts as a powerful selective force in natural systems, driving the rapid evolution of resistance in the host. In the face of a myriad of pathogenic challenges in natural systems, hosts must balance the energetic needs of maintenance and reproduction with costly resistance mechanisms. In this dissertation I will...
