The Role of Polyploidy in Phenotypic and Genomic Evolution in the Shy Monkeyflower, <i>Mimulus sookensis<i>
… affect phenotypic evolution? I use the shy monkeyflower, <italic>Mimulus sookensis</italic>, a tetraploid of hybrid origin between <italic>Mimulus guttatus</italic> and <italic>Mimulus nasutus</italic>, to address these focal questions. In order to develop a foundation to aid in …

Genetics Analysis of Standing Variation for Floral Morphology and Fitness Components in a Natural Population of Mimulus Guttatus (Common Monkeyflower)
<p>An unresolved problem in evolutionary biology is the nature of forces that maintain standing variation for quantitative traits. In this study we take advantage of newly developed genomic resources to understand how variation is maintained for flower size and fitness components in a natural …

DNA Methylation and Genetic Divergence Associated with an Inducible Defensive Response in Mimulus guttatus
… to do so are not well understood. Yellow Monkeyflower (formerly <em>Mimulus guttatus</em>; now <em>Erythranthe guttata</em>) is one such organism that can serve as a model to promote our understanding of these mechanisms due to its striking response to insect herbivory. Monkeyflower …

Transgenerational Plasticity is Sex-dependent and Persistent in Yellow Moneyflower (Mimulus guttatus)
… characterized for relatively few systems. Yellow monkeyflower (<em>Mimulus guttatus</em>) is known to exhibit transgenerational induction of increased glandular trichome production in response to simulated insect damage. Here we test for differences between maternal and paternal transmission of …

The genetics of parallel evolution: a case study using thermal and non-thermal ecotypes of Mimulus guttatus from Yellowstone National Park
… within the model plant genus Mimulus (monkeyflowers) provide a wonderful comparative context for investigating the predictability of the underlying mechanisms. Because multiple traits, with inherent differences in the underlying molecular pathways and potentially different …

Investigating the Genetic, Evolutionary, and Functional Mechanisms of Adaptations to Copper Mine Tailings in Mimulus guttatus
… of copper tolerance in the common yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus, is a classic example of rapid adaptation in plants; however, little is yet known about the genetic, functional, and evolutionary mechanisms involved. How does excess copper cause toxicity in M. guttatus, and how do …

A landscape approach to forecasting climate change impacts on geographic ranges and phenologies of plants in the Washington Cascades
… As a study system, we used two species of yellow monkeyflower (Erythranthe spp.) that have similar habitat requirements, but strikingly different elevation ranges in Mt. Rainier National Park. We combined data from a large-scale transplant experiment and a multi-year observational study using a …

Conservation Genetics of Narrowly Distributed Annual, <em>Erythranthe discolor </em>(Phrymaceae), in the Southern Sierra Nevada
Erythranthe discolor is a rare, narrowly distributed annual, endemic to California and occurs in the southern Sierra Nevada in Kern and Tulare counties with known flower color polymorphisms. There are 133 known occurrences of E. discolor with the core of its range found in the Piute Mountains in …
