D'Angelo, Brendan J (2023-08-02)The rise in shiftwork in the USA has come with associated health issues that plague the late-night employee. The results of these practices have led to an increase in metabolomic disease and the disruption of the circadian ...
-
Sylvester, Terrence Pradakshana (2022-12-13)Genome structure, at a fundamental level, can be described by the division of the genome into a discrete number of chromosomes and further divided into autosomes and sex chromosomes. An array of mechanisms or selection ...

Bower, Luke Max (2019-05-15)A mechanistic understanding of general community assembly is crucial for predicting how species will respond to future environmental changes. My dissertation explores general ecological patterns of stream fish assemblages ...

Defining the Role of Operational Sex Ratio in Fitness of Organisms With Sexually Antagonistic Genes Gafford-Gaby, Robert David (2020-04-23)In many species, populations vary in size and reproductive sex ratio, producing situations in which small population sizes are paired with strongly skewed effective sex ratios. This imbalance among sexes is particularly ...

O'Leary, Sarah J. (2021-03-22)Aedes aegypti is a vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Current vector control strategies such as community engagement, source reduction, and insecticides have not been sufficient to prevent viral outbreaks. ...

Farmer, Nicholas Gregory (2023-05-04)Previously our lab described a 21-member gene family of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae that were named host-adapted genes (HAGs). Most AVR/effector genes of P. oryzae are either unique or have few paralogs. The ...
-
Gonzalez, Mayra (2020-04-23)The stored product pest, the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), has emerged as a novel and powerful model organism over the last decade. Because these are stored product pests, the lab environment is similar to field ...

Identification and Morphological Variation of an Invasive Parasite in Introduced and Native Lizards Sakla, Andrew John (2018-11-23)Exotic species can threaten biodiversity by introducing parasites to native hosts. Thus, it is critical to identify if the same parasite species is infecting both native and exotic hosts. Developmental or environmentally ...

Anderson, Andrew Patrick (2019-06-06)Intralocus conflict, the differential selection optima for a genomic region, between males and females created by sexual selection can be resolved with the presence of sex-biased hormone response elements (HREs) in the ...
-
Garcia Olazabal, Mateo (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 ...
-
Jonika, Michelle Marie (2023-04-17)The content of genomes can be categorized into different sequence classes: autosomes and sex chromosomes, coding and noncoding, and repetitive and non-repetitive, to name but a few. Each of these classes of the genome has ...
-
Bredemeyer, Kevin Ross (2021-07-12)Complex and highly repetitive regions are absent from nearly all genome assemblies and are often referred to as genomic “dark matter”. Many of these regions also harbor large copy number repeats and/or other structural ...
-
Alfieri, James Michael (2023-07-31)Gene flow and selection are two of the major evolutionary forces that generate life’s diversity. Interspecies hybridization and selective breeding represent extreme cases of these two major evolutionary forces. Utilizing ...

Landa, Shelby (2021-12-10)The increasing availability of genomic data necessitates improved methods for whole-genome comparison. The study of complex phenotypes, especially, will benefit from comparative methods that are comprehensive across whole ...
