Intracellular symbioses between cnidarians and dinoflagellates from the genus Symbiodinium are widespread throughout the marine environment. These associations are ecologically significant, especially in tropical waters where symbiotic interactions between corals and Symbiodinium culminate in the formation of limestone reefs. This thesis focuses on cellular and molecular aspects of the symbiosis,...
According to a 2017 Pew Research Study, 44% of adults in America say that they do not feel informed enough about science to understand news and new discoveries discussed on the media (Funk et al. 2019). This is concerning, because adults are not just passive consumers of media; among other...
These datasets were used in the prospective meta-analysis of northern spotted owl reproductive rates over 25 years across 11 study areas located throughout the range of the owl. A multi-state occupancy file was created by collapsing site-specific information on owl reproductive status into bimonthly (2 per month) survey occasions. These...

The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation is used to map simply connected polygons onto the upper half plane and can be applied to problems in which the validity of Laplace's equation is assumed. However the direct integration of the resulting complex integral is often not possible and some approximate method must be used....
Condors and vultures comprise the only group of terrestrial vertebrates in the world that are
obligate scavengers, and these species move widely to locate ephemeral, unpredictable, and patchily-distributed
food resources. In this study, we used high-resolution GPS location data to quantify
monthly home range size of the critically endangered California...
Condors and vultures are distinct from most other terrestrial birds because they use extensive soaring flight for their daily
movements. Therefore, assessing resource selection by these avian scavengers requires quantifying the availability of
terrestrial-based habitats, as well as meteorological variables that influence atmospheric conditions necessary for soaring. In
this study,...
