Molecular evolutionary analysis of the American pika (Ochotona princeps)
… species, and then used the CODEML module of PAML to detect evidence of selection along branches in the phylogeny. Four genes (<em>EHHADH</em>, <em>IGF-1</em>, <em>TGF-β1</em>, and <em>NOS2</em>) showed evidence of adaptation in these analyses. I then resequenced portions of these four genes …

Molecular Evolution and Functional Characterization of the Visual Pigment Proteins of the Great Bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis) and Other Vertebrates
Visual pigments are light sensitive receptors in the eye that form the basis of sensory visual transduction. This thesis presents three studies that explore visual pigment proteins in vertebrates using a number of computational and experimental methods in an evolutionary framework. The objective is …
