The Fragmentation of Gondwanaland: Influence on the Historical Biogeography and Morphological Evolution within Dragon Lizards (Squamata: Agamidae)
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Following the break up of the Pangaea, landmasses were aggregated into two super-continents, Laurasia in the northern hemisphere and Gondwanaland in the southern hemisphere. Both have been considered ancestral areas where ... -
EVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS OF THE STANDING GENETIC VARIATION IN NATURAL POPULATIONS OF MIMULUS GUTTATUS
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)The standing genetic variation present in a population is the raw material on which natural selection can act. The study of the architecture of this variation indicates how evolution might proceed. In this dissertation, I ... -

Mites (Acari: Laelapidae) parasitic on the meadow vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus
(1972)Three species of parasitic mites of the family Laelapidae were found to be present in significant numbers on the meadow vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus. Two hundred and two individuals were identified from 15 host animals. ... -

Climate change influences on the potential geographic distribution of the disease vector tick Ixodes ricinus
(PLOS One, 2017-12-05)BACKGROUND Ixodes ricinus is a species of hard tick that transmits several important diseases in Europe and North Africa, including Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis. Climate change is affecting the geographic ... -
Sobre la relación entre idoneidad del hábitat y la abundancia poblacionalbajo diferentes escenarios de dispersión
(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2016-04-07)Trabajos recientes basados en modelación del nicho para estimar la distribución de las especies han aportado evidencias de que la abundancia de una especie decrece conforme aumenta la distancia al centroide del nicho ... -
Impacts of Niche Breadth and Dispersal Ability on Macroevolutionary Patterns
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-05-31)We describe a spatially explicit simulation experiment designed to assess relative impacts of macroecological traits on patterns of biological diversification under changing environmental conditions. Using a simulation ... -
A new genus and species of maimetshid wasps in Lebanese Early Cretaceous amber (Hymenoptera: Maimetshidae)
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-26)An interesting new maimetshid wasp is described and figured from the Early Cretaceous of Lebanon. Zorophratra corynetes Engel, new genus and species, differs in several important features from all other Maimetshidae and ... -
Zika Virus, Elevation, and Transmission Risk

Temperature-mediated changes in microbial carbon use efficiency and 13C discrimination
(European Geosciences Union, 2016-06-07)Understanding how carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from ecosystems feeds back to climate warming depends in part on our ability to quantify the efficiency with which microorganisms convert organic carbon (C) into either biomass ...
