(2018-08-26)Pheromones play an important role in conspecific mate preference across taxa. While the mechanisms underlying the pheromonal basis of reproductive isolation are well characterized in insects, we know far less about the ...
-
(2017-07-24)Adaptive laboratory evolution facilitates the development and study of complex phenotypes. In an evolving population, individuals with mutations conveying a fitness benefit are selected for, and become enriched, in the ...
-
(2012-10-19)This dissertation is centered on problems within the history and philosophy of biology. The project identifies the philosophical roots of the current ecological movement and shows how a version of philosophical naturalism ...
