The epidemiology of Lagos bat virus and henipaviruses in straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum), using population genetics to infer population connectivity
… ecology of the species and connectivity of populations across its range was required. A multifaceted approach, using techniques from the field of genetics, population ecology, and virology, was used to understand the ways in which the structure and dynamics of fruit bat populations across …

Comparative Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Diversity in Isolated and Open Populations of Southern Flying Squirrels
Three populations of Southern flying squirrels were studied in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas to assess the impact of population subdivision-due to island formation--on the population genetics of Glaucomys volans. One island, one mainland, and one open population were investigated. A 367 …

Asymptotic Analysis of Some Stochastic Models from Population Dynamics and Population Genetics
… that laid the foundation for contemporary population genetics. The Wright-Fisher model and its extensions have given biologists powerful tools of statistical inference that enabled the quantification of genetic drift and selection. Given the utility of these tools, we often forget that …

POPULATION GENETICS OF COWNOSE RAYS, RHINOPTERA SPP. IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
… (NWA), and was the first study to examine population structure in <em>R. brasiliensis </em>within the NWA or northern Gulf of Mexico (GMX), revealing novel insights into the population biology of the animal and extending its range by nearly 1,500 km. This study also examined the …

Development of An In Silico Kir Genotyping Algorithm and Its Application to Population and Cancer Immunogenetic Analyses
… of KIR variation in 2535 modern humans across 26 populations from around the world, plus three Neandertals and a Denisovan. The results identified 175 unique KIR genotypes, the four most frequent of which vary significantly across modern humans, and found 36 population-associated nonsynonymous …

The Conservation Genetics of Two Emydid Turtles: <i>Emydoidea blandingii</i> and <i>Malaclemys terrapin</i>
… I used microsatellites and standard population genetic analyses to explore genetic diversity, population structure, paternity and demographic history in two emydid turtles that are currently experiencing threats to their survival. The Blanding’s turtle, <em>Emydoidea blandingii</em>, …

Molecular Evolution in the Mountains: Genetic Affinity and the Environment led to Adaptive Variation in the American Pika (Ochotona princeps)
<p>The American pika (<em>Ochotona princeps</em>) is discontinuously distributed in high elevation and montane regions across western North America, where isolated lineages have potentially evolved along divergent trajectories since the mid-Pleistocene. <em>Ochotona princeps</em> encounters cold …

FROM TURF TO TURF: FUNGAL INVASION OF ASCOCORYNE TURFICOLA IN A NORTHERN MICHIGAN BOG
… Minnesota and Ontario. Since 2019, the Lily Pond population has exploded and become the dominant fungus in this bog but has yet to spread to similar bogs nearby. This species is adapted to long distance dispersal and carries the potential to continue spreading. Using a combined approach of NMDS …

Genetic Structure of the Copperhead (Viperidae: Agkistrodon Contortrix Mokasen) at its Most Northern Distribution
… Our study will also provide insight into the population genetics of a peripheral population to supplement previous studies regarding the Central-Peripheral Hypothesis and the importance of adaptive genetic variation in peripheral populations as a hedge for environmental change. We employed 23 …

Functional Evolution of Odorant Binding Proteins Genes in Drosophila melanogaster
… of 13 Obp genes in two chromosomal clusters in a population of wild-derived inbred lines, and asked whether polymorphisms in these genes are associated with variation in olfactory responsiveness. Four polymorphisms in three Obp genes exceeded the statistical permutation threshold for association …

Comparative Phylogeography of Central African Duikers Using Non-invasive Sampling Methods
… samples. Third, for fine scale analyses of population genetic structure, a set of twelve nuclear microsatellites were assembled from existing bovid data. These microsatellites markers were chosen because they are very polymorphic, cross amplify among targeted taxa, co-amplify with combined …

Genomic insights into the human population history of Australia and New Guinea
… outside Africa, little is known about the population history of the people living here. In this thesis I present population-genetic studies using whole-genome sequencing and genotype array datasets from more than 500 indigenous individuals from Australia and New Guinea, as well as initial …

Human population history and its interplay with natural selection
… thesis, I aimed to refine our knowledge on human population history using ancient genomes, and then used a climate-informed, spatially explicit framework to explore the interplay between complex demographies and selection. I first analysed a high-coverage genome from Upper Palaeolithic Romania …
