Designing landscapes for bird conservation in the Southeastern United States 

Moody, Allison (2012-06-22)
The Southeastern United States has high conservation importance because of the region's habitat and species diversity, ecological processes, and evolutionary potential; however, it also warrants strong concern because of ...

Making hypotheses precise: applying the physical method and linear modeling to evolutionary genomics 

Morris, David (2014-05-02)
Hypotheses in evolutionary genomics are commonly tested by qualitative comparisons among variables. However, the number of possible outcomes for such predictions is usually few, which can potentially trivialize or even ...

Mechanisms and Evolution of Disease Resistance in Birds 

Staley, Molly (2017-01-04)
Disease outbreaks in wildlife, agricultural animals, and humans have increased in both frequency and magnitude in recent decades, refocusing research efforts on understanding the factors that influence disease emergence. ...

A Multi-level Analysis of the Interactions between Vectors, Hosts, and Habitats of EEEV 

Estep, Laura (2011-04-29)
Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) is a rare and dangerous mosquito-borne pathogen with an elusive pattern of occurrence across its range in North America. The primary basis of our understanding of its transmission ...

Using squamate systems to understand molecular underpinnings of evolutionary processes 

Klabacka, Randy L. (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 ...
