This thesis describes studies that investigated 1)
the effects of courtship on the neuroendocrine system of
female rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa, and 2)
whether the observed courtship-induced neuroendocrine
changes affected female sexual receptivity.
Sexual behaviors of female T. granulosa changed
dramatically during courtship. Initially, females
exhibited unreceptive behaviors to a...
The issue of permanent nondipole contributions to the time-averaged field lies at the very heart of
paleomagnetism and the study of the ancient geomagnetic field. In this paper we focus on paleomagnetic
directional results from igneous rocks of the southwestern U.S.A. in the age range 0–5 Ma and investigate
both...
Metamorphosis is often characterized by profound changes in morphology and physiology that can affect the dynamics of species interactions. For example, the interaction between a pathogen and its host may differ depending on the life stage of the host or pathogen. One pathogen that infects hosts with complex life cycles...
The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) began development of a broad-spectrum antiviral countermeasure against deliberate use of high-consequence viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) in 2016. The effort featured comprehensive preclinical research, including laboratory testing and rapid advancement of lead molecules into nonhuman primate (NHP)...
Wildlife epidemiological outcomes can depend strongly on the composition of an ecological community, particularly when multiple host species are affected by the same pathogen. However, the relationship between host species richness and disease risk can vary with community context and with the degree of spillover transmission that occurs among co-occurring...
