Freshwater zooplankton: ecology, cryptic species, and global change
(2016-08)
Modern threats to freshwater biota include anthropogenic eutrophication and invasive species, both of which may impact biodiversity. My four chapters focus on different aspects of these global changes. In Chapters 1 and ...
Ants in Flight: Reproduction, Dispersal and Predation of Ant Queens
(2016-05)
Flying animals, especially insects, are a prominent feature of most terrestrial environments and make up a majority of the world’s known species. The biomechanical demands of flight shape the biology of flying insects at ...
Impact of environmental (pH) change in a model aquatic herbivore: from genes to populations
(2016-05)
Organisms are subjected to a variety of environmental stressors in which they must respond in order to survive and reproduce. While some individuals are able to adjust to these stressors and live to produce offspring and ...
From individuals to environment: the relative roles of morphology, flight, density, synchrony, habitat structure, and weather on extra-pair paternity
(2016-08)
Reproductive success is driven in large part by the mating system of a species, which ultimately determines patterns of gene transmission across generations. In species with socially monogamous mating systems, an important ...
