(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Genetic relationships among three races of the plains pocket gopher, (Geomys bursarius complex) were determined using data from chromosome banding, meiotic analysis, and protein electrophoresis. Race E (2n = 74, FN = 72) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The fertility of a first generation male hybrid deer produced from a cross between a male Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) and a female O. hemionus (mule deer) was assessed. Examination of mitotic chromosomes and ...
-
(2012-02-14)The presence of parasites in a population has an impact on mate choice and has substantial evolutionary significance. A relatively unexplored aspect of this dynamic is whether or not the presence of parasites increases ...
-
(2013-04-11)Recent genetic studies have confirmed that there was admixture between African early modern humans and archaic populations throughout the Old World. In this dissertation, I examine European early modern human dental ...
-
(2015-07-31)Hybridization represents a collision of genomes that can introduce new genetic and phenotypic variation into a population. Depending on the environment, this may lead to increased individual fitness and allow for integration ...
-
(2022-07-07)Hybridization is a common phenomenon that serves as an important evolutionary mechanism by which diversity can arise. When two genetically divergent species hybridize, the resulting admixture generates novel genotypic and ...
-
(2021-11-30)Understanding how genotype maps to phenotype is critical to understanding how evolution can generate and maintain biological diversity. Hybridization provides a great resource to pinpoint genes of interest, disentangle ...
-
(2018-10-24)The N-oxidation of alkylpyridines is used in the pharmaceutical industries to synthesize alkylpyridine N-oxides that are involved in the production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The synthesis process involves ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2023-12-04)Urbanization and the global transport of animals are interconnected aspects of ecology that play significant roles in the conservation of species. Both scenarios are viewed in a mostly negative light – in part, urbanization ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The goal of this study was to examine the impact of Africanization on the genetic structure of the Welder Wildlife Refuge feral honey bee population by scoring mtDNA and microsatellite polymorphisms. Adult honey bee workers, ...
-
(2012-10-19)The federally mandated 36 billion gallons a year production goal for "advanced biofuels" by 2022 has created a demand for lignocellulosic feedstocks that are inexpensive to produce. The current lack of market development ...
