Turn-Taking in Face-to-Face Conversations: A Proposed Theory of Chair Swiveling

Creator:: Smith, Lyshuand R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to propose swiveling behavior as a potential speech transitioning device and to discuss the methodology behind qualitative and quantitative analysis of swivels in relation to subjects’ partners. Due to the impacts of gaze and body orientation direction on speech transitioning, it is deduced that,...

Scale and Pattern: Delineating the Effects of Local to Regional Processes and Species Identity in Producing Multi-scale Responses of Macroalgae

Creator:: Spiecker, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Understanding and predicting how regional to global scale processes affect macroalgal populations and communities requires elucidating the mechanisms underlying observed patterns. This dissertation identifies some of the underlying mechanisms that produce complex multi-scale responses of macroalgae across space and time by delineating the role of key local environmental drivers and...

Navigating food and foes in the savanna : nutrition, infections and spatial ecology in African buffalo

Creator:: Combrink, Hendrik J.
Abstract:: The intricate relationship between wildlife health and the quality of their environment is well established, with technological advances increasing our understanding and aiding the unraveling of underlying mechanisms. Large herbivores require forage of sufficient quality to maintain their condition to reproduce and survive, all while warding off parasites and predators...

Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

Creator:: Taylor, David S.
Abstract:: Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

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...

Phylogenetic Studies in Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) and Related Families

Creator:: Kanda, Kojun
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present the results from three studies: (1) a phylogeny of Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera) inferred from a seven-gene dataset derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (2) a phylogeny of Tenebrionidae, the largest family in Tenebrionoidea, inferred from a four-gene dataset also derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (3)...

Influence of River Plumes on Larval Fish Distributions, Predator-Prey Relationships, and Fitness in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Axler, Kelia E.
Abstract:: River plumes discharging into continental shelf waters have the potential to influence patchiness of larval fishes, prey, and gelatinous predators. Using a high-resolution plankton imaging system, we sampled larval fishes, copepods, and planktonic predators (ctenophores, hydromedusae, and siphonophores) across multiple freshwater pulses exiting the mouth of Mobile Bay (Alabama, USA)...

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...

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. I focus on two species-rich groups, the tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini, both of which are primarily found on the shores of bodies of water. The former are distinctive for their defensive...

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...
