Cagle, Sierra Elena (2019-12-03)Harmful algae blooms (HABs)are an increasing problem world-wide. The increasing occurrence and magnitude of HABs has often been linked to anthropogenic disturbances, some of which include salinization, nutrient ratios ...
-
Riedle, Jimmy (2014-05-03)Rivers are dynamic ecosystems with considerable heterogeneity across multiple spatial scales. Environmental factors, such as depth, physical structure, flow regime and habitat connectivity influence species distributions ...
-
Johnson, James Bradley (2013-04-08)The origin and maintenance of phenotypic variation has generated considerable interest among students of functional morphology, sexual selection and behavioral ecology. In particular, hybridization has been suggested as a ...
-
Fitzgerald, Daniel Bruce (2016-09-30)Increasing hydroelectric development in the tropics is beginning to place a large percentage of global freshwater diversity at risk. A prime example is the recently completed Belo Monte Hydroelectric Complex (BMHC) on the ...
-
Cochran, Jennifer Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Cichlids are among the most species rich and ecologically diverse families of freshwater fishes. Life history attributes vary greatly among cichlids across their global range, and in the Neotropics alone studies have ...
-
Leavitt, Daniel 1979- (2012-10-29)Landscape fragmentation poses a major threat to biodiversity world-wide. The goal of my dissertation research was to determine the effects of landscape fragmentation on a lizard community in the Mescalero-Monahans shinnery ...
-
Quintana Morales, Yasmin Odette Nelisa (2023-08-07)Pterygoplichthys in LPR relative to SPR. In LPR, native fishes rely more on watercolumn resources compared to SPR where benthic resources are more important for fish body mass. The relative biomass of the invader was ...
-
Dickerson, Catherine Zindler (2009-05-15)Causative influences that impact the separation of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus populations in different geographic areas were determined, as well as how they are affected by the abiotic conditions as seen in the habitats ...
-
Delclos, Pablo Jose (2017-07-03)Mate-choice related behaviors are highly variable and sensitive to a wide array of environmental and social factors. Therefore, the stability of a given behavior can largely depend on the level of environmental variability ...
-
Ou, Chouly (2013-11-15)The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened ...
-
Pizano, Rebecca I (2013-06-11)In 2011, Texas experienced the worst drought in recorded history. This has escalated concerns regarding environmental flows needed to sustain freshwater and estuarine systems as human needs are addressed during drought ...
-
Jofre Rodriguez, Gaston Ignacio (2020-03-16)A common goal in studies of natural hybridization is to understand how adaptation and speciation create genome-wide variation over spatial gradients. The speciation process generates genomic signatures that can be detected ...
-
Saenz, David Ernesto (2020-07-27)In recent decades, neuroscience research has become largely dependent on a few “model organisms” (e.g. Drosophila melanogaster, Mus musculus). A holistic understanding of nervous systems requires study of a diversity of ...
-
Montana, Carmen 1976- (2012-08-16)In this study, I used two independent perciform lineages (Neotropical Cichlidae and Nearctic Centrarchidae) to examine patterns of species richness and species coexistence a two spatial scales (e.g., macrohabitat and ...
-
Nguyen, Erin (2022-07-25)Flow alteration is one of the greatest threats to freshwater fish conservation. As climate change exacerbates existing demand for freshwater resources and depletes and fragments riverine habitats, conservation and management ...
-
Roberts, Hayden Clay (2022-03-24)Fishes that migrate within freshwater and exhibit periodic life history traits are broadly distributed and particularly sensitive to the effects of river regulation. However, persistence of migratory fishes in highly ...

Lujan, Nathan K; Winemiller, Kirk O; Armbruster, Jonathan W (BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012)
-
Keppeler, Friedrich Wolfgang (2020-07-16)Identification of the main factors (e.g., species traits, environmental conditions) underlying predator-prey interactions is an important step to reveal species organization within food webs, potentially improving our ...
