From Microbes to Megafauna: The Ecology of Gut Microbiomes in Wild Herbivores

Creator:

Couch, Claire E.

Abstract:

All mammals host communities of commensal microbes in and on their bodies. Recent technological advances, combined with experimental studies in laboratory animals, are beginning to reveal the ubiquitous links between the gut microbiome and host disease, metabolism, immunity, and numerous other host functions. A new challenge of microbiome research is...

Phylogenomics and Evolution of Ground Beetles, with an Emphasis on the Speciose Tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Creator:

Pflug, James M.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I investigate the evolution and genomes of carabid beetles, a worldwide family of over 38,000 species.

Metabolic and Immune Responses in Cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae Symbiosis and Dysbiosis

Creator:

Sawiccy, Valeri

Abstract:

Coral reefs, found in tropical regions, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and their contributions to ecological, cultural, and economic aspects worldwide. The success of coral reefs hinges on the symbiotic partnership between corals and their dinoflagellate algae, from the family Symbiodiniaceae. The algae reside within the coral host’s gastrodermal...
