DIVERSIFICATION ON CONTINENTS AND ISLANDS: A HERPETOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
O'Connell, Kyle Anthony; 0000-0002-0464-9259This dissertation seeks to understand the geological and climatological processes that have promoted diversification on continental and island systems. Using molecular genetic data generated using Sanger sequencing and ... -
GENOMIC STRUCTURE AND DIVERSITY IN NEOTROPICAL HERPETOFAUNA: THE ROLE OF DEMOGRAPHIC HISTORY AND GENE FLOW
Rivera, Danielle George; 0000-0002-9100-9945 (2021-08-03)The effects of genetic introgression on species boundaries and how they affect species’ integrity and persistence over evolutionary time have received increased attention. The increasing availability of genomic data has ... -
Origins and Maintenance of Diversity in a Vertebrate Parthenogen
Hall, Alex Scott; 0000-0002-3807-1395 (2017-01-02)Clonal lineages are expected to experience a decline in fitness over time due to their inability to decouple deleterious and beneficial alleles. Individually, however, asexual populations pass twice as much of their DNA ... -
UNCOVERING GENOMIC INSIGHTS TO THE DYNAMICS AND MECHANISMS OF SPECIATION USING LIALIS BURTONIS AND HETERONOTIA BINOEI
Titus-McQuillan, James E; 0000-0002-5197-4791 (2019-05-08)Species are fundamental entities in biology because their existence represents the cohesion that binds populations into a single unit. One facet of evolutionary biology is to identify the processes that cause the origin ...
