Factors affecting the dynamics and regulation of coral-reef fish populations

Creator:: Webster, Michael Scott
Abstract:: Ecologists have long questioned why fluctuating populations tend to persist rather than go extinct. Populations that persist indefinitely are regulated by mechanisms that cause demographic density dependence, which works to bound fluctuation above zero. In a series of studies, I have sought to determine the processes and mechanisms that regulate...

The effects of enhanced expression of the GluN2B (NR2B) subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor on memory in aged animals

Creator:: Brim, Brenna L.
Abstract:: As the aging population continues to grow worldwide, age-related complications are becoming more apparent within the aging population. One of the first age-related complications to become apparent is age-associated memory impairment and it can make the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on.

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.
