Comparative Biology of Sympatric Red Diamond and Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes in Southern California
<p>I compared the biology of two sympatric rattlesnakes within the context of resource use and niche partitioning. Using radio-telemetry and mark-recapture involving passive integrated transponders (PIT) tags, I studied Red Diamond (Crotalus ruber) and Southern Pacific (C. oreganus helleri) …

Characterization of C-Gmp Dependent Kinases Within the Circadian Molecular Clockworks: Structural, Phylogenetic, and Functional Analyses
… regulates the activity of these kinases a comparative biology approach was employed. This work included phylogenetic and 3-dimensional homology based structural analysis of the AGC Group which includes the cGK family. This work identifies new members of the cGK family across the eukaryotic …

Relationships between running economy and mechanics in middle-distance runners
… originally developed and used in the field of comparative biology, was adapted and tested in competitive athletes. The model showed a very good fit (R2=0.86). In conclusion, the results of this dissertation suggest that the very complex interrelationships among the mechanical parameters …

Physiological Bases of Plant Shrinkage and Its Demographic Implications
… we study anatomy, physiology, demography and comparative biology to understand how often plants shrink, mechanisms by which plants may internally regulate their architecture to shrink, and shrinkage’s demographic implications. We explored belowground resource uptake, hydraulic transport and …

Circulating sex hormone levels in rats: a systematic analysis of the literature and perinatal BPA study
… a translational system for comparison to human biology. The anatomy, physiology, and molecular mechanisms of the reproductive system of these models should first be well characterized within the species prior to making inter-species predictions on the toxicant's effects. Here we conducted a …
