    • A Taste of the Genetics and Anatomy Underlying Vertebrate Host Preference in the Anopheles gambiae Complex of Malaria Vectors 
      Popkin-Hall, Zachary Ray (2020-07-14)
      In this dissertation, I explore three major areas of inquiry underlying vertebrate host choice in the Anopheles (An.) gambiae complex. An. coluzzii is a major vector due to its high anthropophily. Therefore, studying the ...
    • Temporal genetic structure of feral honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a coastal prairie habitat of southern Texas: impact of Africanization 
      Pinto, Maria Alice (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, ...
    • Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome

    • Variation in the chromosomes of five species of pocket gophers in the genus Geomys as detected by differential staining, and the phylogenetic implications 
      Smolen, Michael John (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      Two isolated populations of pocket gophers were discovered outside the previously known distribution of geomyids in Texas. These represent a new taxon, which is related to Geomys texensis in biochemical properties, chromosome ...
    • Variation of mitochondrial control region sequences of Steller sea lions: the three-stock hypothesis 
      Baker, Alyson Renee (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
      Sequence variation of a 238 bp segment of the mitochondrial control region was analyzed for 1,568 Steller sea lions (2.8% of the estimated species population) sampled from 50 rookeries representing nearly every locality ...
