Characterizing Sustained Attention Task Performance by Dogs
(2023-11-27)
A common finding in studies of sustained attention is that performance on these types of tasks is subject to fluctuations across the duration of the task. Several task-related factors have been consistently demonstrated ...
Characterizing the Chemical and Structural Basis of Animal Coloration from an Evolutionary Perspective
(2023-04-20)
Many questions regarding how animals produce their striking range of colors remain
unanswered, particularly when pigments and structures are combined. In this dissertation, I
completed four studies centered around ...
Characterizing the genetic and morphological responses to a changing environment in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
(2024-04-24)
Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves which may broadly impact the health of marine invertebrates. Rising ocean temperatures lead to increases in disease prevalence in ...
