Descriptions and Phylogenetic Relationships of the Guiana Shield Pencil Catfishes
(2022-07-21)
The systematics of the catfish genus Trichomycterus Valenciennes 1832 are complicated and unresolved. This genus is paraphyletic, containing all members of the Trichomycterinae that cannot be adequately placed into an ...
The Involvement of Copper in Leigh Syndrome
(2022-07-29)
Leigh Syndrome is a neurodegenerative disease that presents with bilateral lesions in the brain. This condition is characterized by progressive loss of mental and movement abilities in which these symptoms start as early ...
Evolutionary Consequences of Gen(om)e Duplications in Animals
(2022-07-25)
My research interests can be broadly described as an attempt to explore the drivers of macroevolutionary processes and diversity patterns across taxa. One such driver is the contribution of gene and genome duplications. ...
Evolutionary Ecology of Loricariid Catfishes
(2022-07-25)
How extrinsic (like functional constrains and ecological interactions) and intrinsic (like modularity and integration) interactions drive diversification is a formative area of evolutionary biology. In this dissertation, ...
Developing omics and cell culture resources in non-model organism for their application in elucidating complex trait evolution in natural populations.
(2022-08-15)
In the past, researchers chose models organisms to answer research questions based on their simplicity in morphology, domestication, and/or life history traits. Now, with high throughput sequencing (HTS) rapidly becoming ...
Using squamate systems to understand molecular underpinnings of evolutionary processes
(2022-12-02)
The solidification of evolutionary biology as a scientific theory provided a foundation for understanding the source of life’s variation, an objective that has since become a central aim in biology. While scientific ...
