-
Guzman, Alejandra (2009-05-15)Feeding biomechanics and foraging behavior are likely contributors to loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) bycatch in the pelagic longline fishery. To investigate these contributions, loggerhead bite performance was ...

Ginter, Carly C. (2012-02-14)Vibrissae (whiskers) are important components of the mammalian tactile sensory system, and primarily function as detectors of environmental vibrotactile cues. Pinnipeds possess the largest and most highly innervated ...

Santamaria, Carlos A.; Mateos, Mariana; Taiti, Stefano; DeWitt, Thomas J.; Hurtado, Luis A. (PLOS, 2013-12-30)Compared to the striking diversification and levels of endemism observed in many terrestrial groups within the Hawaiian Archipelago, marine invertebrates exhibit remarkably lower rates of endemism and diversification. ...

Mays, Joshua R.; DeWitt, Thomas J. (2020-07-09)This is the dataset associated with an article in review at Ecology & Evolution, entitled "Frequent habitat migration, phenotypic plasticity, and vestigial ecophenotypy revealed by isotope-based natal habitat inference in ...

Papadopoulos, Anthony (2009-05-15)Body shape affects the capacity and efficiency of swimming in fishes, and places constraints on foraging and reproductive performance. Hence, fitness components, such as aerobic swimming capacity and efficiency, can be ...
-
Partridge, Charlyn G. (2010-07-14)Understanding how anthropogenic activity impacts the health and viability of wildlife populations is one of the most important tasks of environmental biology. A key concern related to bi-products of human activity is the ...
-
Case, Janelle Elaine (2009-05-15)Juvenile red snapper are attracted to structure and settle onto low profile reefs, which serve as nursery grounds. Little is known about their life history during this time. However, recent studies from a shell bank in the ...

Ginter, Carly C.; DeWitt, Thomas J.; Fish, Frank E.; Marshall, Christopher D.; Wennekers, Thomas (PloS One, 2012)
-
Dickey, Aaron (2011-02-22)Host-Associated Differentiation (HAD) is the formation of genetically divergent hostassociated lineages maintained by ecological isolation. HAD is potentially an important route to ecological speciation in parasites including ...
-
Pease, Allison Ann (2011-02-22)The distribution and abundance of stream fishes are influenced by many factors operating at multiple scales. Understanding how environmental variables influence the structure of stream fish assemblages is important for ...
-
Garza, Mark Isaac (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Phenotypic plasticity is an environmentally based change in phenotype and can be adaptive. Often, the change in an organism's phenotype is induced by the presence of a predator and serves as a defense against that predator. ...
-
Ruehl, Clifton Benjamin (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Resource variation and species interactions require organisms to respond behaviorally, physiologically, and morphologically within and among generations to compensate for spatial and temporal environmental variation. One ...

Langerhans, R. Brian; DeWitt, Thomas J. (The American Naturalist, 2004)
-
Langerhans, R. Brian; Layman, Craig A.; Shokrollahi, A. Mona; DeWitt, Thomas J. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002)Divergent natural selection (fitness trade-offs) between environments often drives intraspecific diversification. When multiple species face a common environmental gradient their patterns of divergence might exhibit both ...
