Smarsh, Grace Christina (2017-06-29)Although singing has been recently recognized in some bat species, the prevalence and ecological significance of this behavior in bats is still mysterious. Cardioderma cor, the heart-nosed bat, was one of the first bats ...
-
Troendle, Nicholas (2012-07-16)The directionality and consistency of evolution has long been a subject of contention among evolutionary biologists since the days of Darwin. However, it is unknown how much can be quantified and how much results from ...
-
Rose, Emily (2016-06-17)Species in which sexual selection acts more strongly on females than on males provide interesting opportunities to study the evolution of sex roles and sex differences and the impact of exposure to endocrine disruptors. ...

Harlin-Cognato, April; Hoffman, Eric; Jones, Adam (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006)

Xie, Jialei (2013-08-27)Maternally-transmitted associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and insects are diverse and widespread in nature. To counter loss by imperfect vertical transmission, many heritable microbes have evolved compensational ...
-
Squire, Mattie Katherine (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 ...
-
Culumber, Zachary Wyatt (2012-02-14)Natural hybrid zones provide opportunities to study a range of evolutionary phenomena from speciation to the genetic basis of fitness-related traits. Additionally, investing the structure of hybrid zones can provide ...
-
Cui, Rongfeng (2014-04-14)Learned mate choice has a fundamental role in population dynamics and speciation. Social learning plays a ubiquitous role in shaping how individuals make decisions. Learning does not act on a blank slate, however, and ...
-
Smith, Victoria Lee (2014-06-06)Mate choice is a powerful driver of sexual selection, and can influence both the strength and direction of selection on phenotypic traits within a population. In Xiphophorus birchmanni, female mate preferences have been ...
-
Kasl, Emily Louise (2016-08-03)Parasite life cycle complexity (host species and number needed to complete development) is a key determinant of parasite ecology and evolution because it can influence parasite transmission, gene flow, and mating systems. ...
-
Liu, Shuang (2013-04-12)Cryptic species complexes are common in many marine groups. Recent phylogeographic studies in the megadiverse Gulf of California basin have found high levels of cryptic allopatric genetic differentiation in supralittoral ...
-
Rosch, Eric (2013-02-12)Fiddler crabs are well-known for their visual displays in courtship and social interactions. However, the ability of these animals to produce and respond to chemical stimuli remains unknown. The current study investigated ...
