Molecular Ecology of Peromyscus polionotus
(2008-09-09)
Lowe et al. (2004) describes ecological genetics as “the investigation of the origin and maintenance of genetic variation within and between populations, which ultimately leads to adaptation and speciation.” Thus, to gain ...
Natural History and Conservation of the Eyelash Palmpitviper (Bothriechis schlegelii) in Western Panamá
(2008-09-09)
The focus of this thesis was to examine various components of the natural history,
ecology, and conservation biology of the Bothriechis schlegelii. The sections that follow
include studies of foraging ecology, demography, ...
Geographic Variation in the Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica)
(2008-09-09)
I examined how variation within the yellow-throated warbler (Dendroica dominica) relates to geography. The yellow-throated warbler is a common neotropical migrant with a breeding range confined to the southeastern United ...
Variation in populational size and composition within two summer colonies of endangered gray bats (Myotis grisescens)
(2008-09-09)
For >30 years, the endangered gray bat (Myotis grisescens) has been a priority in conservation efforts in the southeastern United States. As part of these conservation efforts, the Alabama Department of Conservation and ...
Analysis of p62-UBA interacting proteins
(2008-09-09)
Sequestosome 1/p62 interacts with and traffics K63-polyubiquitinated proteins through its ubiquitin associating domain (UBA). Herein we demonstrate that the hyperaccumulation of K63-polyubiquitinated proteins occurs in the ...
Conservation of a Florida Endemic Carnivorous Plant: Godfrey’s Butterwort (Pinguicula ionantha)
(2008-09-09)
For conservation and recovery efforts to be effective under the Endangered Species Act, knowledge of the factors which make a species rare must be gained. In order to meet conservation goals, this study focuses on the ...
Effect of Age of Forest on Mammals in the Upper Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Ecosystems provide services to humans through ecological processes, raw materials, and aesthetics, but these services often are negatively impacted by human activities. Flood-prone riparian areas are called upon increasingly ...
Applicability of Mitochondrial Genome Data to Annelid Phylogeny and the Evolution of Group II Introns
(2009-07-02)
Annelida is a very diverse group of segmented worms with over 16,500 described
species. They play an important role in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Despite
this, their phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships ...
