A phenetic analysis of the genus Colostethus (Anura: Dendrobatidae)
(University of Kansas, 1974-05)The principal goal of the study was to provide a phenetic review of the genus Colostethus, one of three genera in the family Dendrobatidae. The results of the phenetic study are used to·examine biological relationships in ... -
On the importance of balancing selection in plants
(Wiley, 2014-01)Balancing selection refers to a variety of selective regimes that maintain advantageous genetic diversity within populations. We review the history of the ideas regarding the types of selection that maintain such polymorphism ... -
Increasing atmospheric [CO2] from glacial through future levels affects drought tolerance via impacts on leaves, xylem and their integrated function
(Wiley, 2013-08)Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) affect plant carbon/water trade-offs, with implications for drought tolerance. Leaf-level studies often indicate that drought tolerance may increase with rising ... -
Differential regulation of a MYB transcription factor is correlated with transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of trichome density in Mimulus guttatus
(Wiley, 2011-07)Epigenetic inheritance, transgenerational transmission of traits not proximally determined by DNA sequence, has been linked to transmission of chromatin modifications and gene regulation, which are known to be sensitive ... -

Wolbachia do not live by reproductive manipulation alone: infection polymorphism in Drosophila suzukii and D. subpulchrella
(Wiley, 2014-10)Drosophila suzukii recently invaded North America and Europe. Populations in Hawaii, California, New York and Nova Scotia are polymorphic for Wolbachia, typically with <20% infection frequency. The Wolbachia in D. suzukii, ... -
Spatially and temporally varying selection on intra-population QTL for a life history tradeoff in Mimulus guttatus
(Wiley, 2012-08)Why do populations remain genetically variable despite strong continuous natural selection? Mutation reconstitutes variation eliminated by selection and genetic drift, but theoretical and experimental studies each suggest ... -
The role of pathogen shedding in linking within- and between-host pathogen dynamics
(Elsevier, 2015-12)A model linking within- and between-host pathogen dynamics via pathogen shedding (emission of pathogens throughout the course of infection) is developed, and several aspects of host availability and co-infection are ... -

Resources, mortality, and disease ecology: Importance of positive feedbacks between host growth rate and pathogen dynamics
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Resource theory and metabolic scaling theory suggest that the dynamics of a pathogen within a host should strongly depend upon the rate of host cell metabolism. Once an infection occurs, key ecological interactions occur ... -
Geographic variation in polyandry of the Eastern Honey Bee, Apis cerana, in Thailand
(Springer Verlag, 2015-02)The repeated evolution of extreme polyandry in advanced social insects is exceptional and its explanation has attracted significant attention. However, most reported estimates of the number of matings are derived from ... -
Anolis sex chromosomes are derived from a single ancestral pair
(Wiley, 2014-04)To explain the frequency and distribution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in the lizard genus Anolis we compared the relative roles of sex chromosome conservation vs. turnover of sex determining mechanisms. We used model ... -
