INVESTIGATING GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES IN DAPHNIA: THE ROLE OF EMS-INDUCED MUTATIONS AND REPRODUCTIVE MODES
(2022-08-03)
Gene expression variation is a common source of phenotypic variation between species. Understanding how changes in gene expression are associated with a particular phenotype will aid in understanding the molecular basis ...
TRANSCRIPTOMIC SIGNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE MODES AND EARLY SPECIATION IN DAPHNIA PULEX-PULICARIA SYSTEM
(2022-12-16)
Daphnia have been gaining recognition as a key model system for studies of evolution, ecology, toxicology, and more recently genomics. The defining characteristic of this particular model system is its phenotypic plasticity ...
Toughing it out: understanding the interplay of phenotypic plasticity and evolution in stressful environments
(2019-08-05)
Preserving the health of ecosystems on Earth rewards local communities with economic benefits and improved quality of life. Yet, humans often perform activities that disrupt natural systems and lead to declines in biodiversity ...
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNIQUES TO DISSECT THE GENETIC BASIS OF POPULATION-LEVEL VARIATION OF RECOMBINATION RATES IN THE DAPHNIA MODEL SYSTEM
(2021-12-20)
We know very little about the determining genetic factors that control the recombination events within a genome. Moreover, the cause of recombination rate variation in population-level remains poorly understood, especially ...
Thermal Transgenerational Plasticity and Its Effect on Competitive Ability and Consumer-Resource Dynamics in a Population of Daphnia ambigua
(2015-12-08)
Global temperature increases are predicted to quicken in pace this century, and with them so will the likely impact on natural populations. The extent to which organisms will be able to keep pace with and adapt to these ...
