Ecological genetics of the moss Physcomitrella patens
… body of knowledge surrounding plant functional genetics and molecular biology, yet very little is known about the ecology and population genetics of this species. Although the bryophytes are the second largest group of plants, there is little information regarding the population genetics of …

The ecological genetics of senescence and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans
… and the rate of senescence are determined by the ecological conditions during a population's recent evolutionary history, and are intrinsically linked to other components of life history and to fitness. These traits should be examined in an ecological context, in which other aspects of the life …

The evolution and ecological genetics of pupal color dimorphism in swallowtail butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilioninae)
Data bearing on the evolution, environmental control and genetic basis of pupal color dimorphism was presented or discussed for six species of swallowtail betterflies. Papilla glauces and P. cresphontes produce only brown pupae while P. polyxenes, P. troilus, Battus philenor and Eurytides marcellus …

Factors influencing the occurrence of stinging jellyfish (Physalia spp.) at New Zealand beaches
Individuals of the cnidarian genus Physalia are a common sight at New Zealand beaches and are the primary cause of jellyfish stings to beachgoers each year. The identity of the species and the environmental factors that determine its presence are unknown. Lack of knowledge of many marine species is …

Behavioral Ecology, Taxonomy, and Conservation Genetics of the Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi)
… final study, a literature review, I explored the ecological consequences of extinction in a well-studied insular model: the Hawaiian Islands avifauna. Five of six islands have significantly different trophic guild structure now than they did prior to the arrival of humans, due to a combination of …
