Epizoic Diatom Assemblages on Freshwater Turtles
(2016-05)
Although freshwater turtles and their epibiotic hosts are a good model for studying epibiotic interactions (including basking, the effects of turtle species, and geographic variation), information on diatom-turtle relationships ...
Molecular Evolution of a Na, K-ATPase in Weakly Electric Fish
(2016-12)
African mormyrids and South American gymnotiforms are two independently evolved lineages of weakly electric fish that produce electric organ discharges (EODs) as sensory and communication signals. EOD frequency varies ...
Beta Diversity of Stream Fish Communities: Partitioning Variation Between Abiotic and Spatial Factors
(2016)
Variation in species composition of assemblages within a region is known as beta diversity. Beta diversity contributes to regional diversity (gamma), and understanding the factors that maintain it and explain variation of ...
EFFECT OF THE TOXIGENIC ALGA PRYMNESIUM PARVUM ON A NATURAL ZOOPLANKTON COMMUNITY
(2016-05-13)
Harmful algae blooms (HABs) have the ability to produce profound changes to aquatic communities through a variety of factors, most commonly their propensity to produce toxins that can harm co-existing organisms. Many ...
BEHAVIORAL AND CHEMICAL MECHANISMS OF A CONDITIONAL SIGNAL IN THE GREEN SWORDTAIL (XIPHOPHORUS HELLERII)
(2016-05)
Color polymorphisms are a common occurrence across most taxa. These differing forms of visual signals can act as a determinant for status and relative attractiveness for the choosy sex in a given species. While this ...
Impacts of the social environment on male sexual behavior and attention allocation
(2016-12)
Social communication occurs within a network and interactions between individuals rarely occur in private. The presence of observing individuals have been shown to affect the behavior of a signaling individual, however ...
