Genetic Variation in Central Asia: An Examination of Population History and Structure
(2018-07-26)The population structure of Central Asia and the effects of population history on that structure have not been well studied. To address this gap, 4,169 mtDNA control region sequences from Central Asia and the surrounding ... -
Host Plant Influences on Performance and Haplotype Diversity of Dalbulus maidis, a Specialist Herbivore of Zea
(2012-12-06)In one study, a suite of plants from the maize genus Zea L. (Poaceae) and the specialist herbivore Dalbulus maidis (DeLong and Wolcott, 1923) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) were used to test the hypotheses that anti-herbivore ... -
Insights into relationships among rodent lineages based on mitochondrial genome sequence data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)This dissertation has two major sections. In Chapter II, complete mitochondrial (mt DNA) genome sequences were used to construct a hypothesis for affinities of most major lineages of rodents that arose quickly in the Eocene ... -
Temporal genetic structure of feral honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a coastal prairie habitat of southern Texas: impact of Africanization
(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, ... -
Variation of mitochondrial control region sequences of Steller sea lions: the three-stock hypothesis
(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 ...
