A Macroecological Approach to Understanding Drivers of Riverine Fish Community Composition
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Macroecology is an evolving ecological discipline that analyzes regional through global processes whose temporal interactions are especially significant over decades to millennia. Understanding if and how variables acting ... -
Morphological and Molecular Insights into Aleocharine Rove Beetle Evolution
(University of Kansas, 2017-08-31)Aleocharinae is the largest subfamily in the largest family of beetles, the rove beetles. The subfamily has at least 61,575 species divided into 63 tribes, and is arguably one of the most taxonomically and ecologically ... -
Basal Carbon Sources Supporting Fish Food Webs in Terminal Basin Rivers
(University of Kansas, 2017-08-31)Terminal basin rivers—those with no outlets to the sea—are unique systems that have been traditionally under-studied despite their widespread occurrence in drier regions of the world. The goal of this study was to elucidate ... -
The Biogeography and Macroevolutionary Trends of Late Paleozoic Cephalopods in the North American Midcontinent Sea: Understanding the response of pelagic organisms to changing climate during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age
(University of Kansas, 2017-08-31)Geographic range is an important macroevolutionary parameter that is frequently considered in paleontological studies. Species distribution and geographic range size are determined by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors ... -

First Finding of Succulence and C4/CAM-Cycling Photosynthesis in a Grass: Ecophysiology of Spinifex littoreus in Coastal Regions of Taiwan
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Spinifex littoreus (Brum. f.) Merr. is a halophytic grass that is distributed on coastal sand dunes in Taiwan (and throughout Southeast Asia). This study is the first report of leaf succulence in a grass, with 64 % of the ... -
Phylogeny, Ecology, and Taxonomic Revision of the Travertine Beetles (Coleoptera: Lutrochidae)
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-31)The Lutrochidae is a small, poorly known group of aquatic beetles, endemic to the Western Hemisphere. The evolutionary history of the group has never been examined in a phylogenetic framework, and much of its diversity is ... -
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 ... -
