Mitochondrial Haplotype Influences the Impact of Simulated Climate Warming on a Tropical Ectotherm
… of two sympatric but highly divergent mitochondrial haplogroups in this pseudoscorpion to evaluate the potential impact of mitochondrial sequence variation on fitness traits and response to climate change. For survivorship and sperm production, my results reveal a significant …

Population Genetic Structure of the Introduced North American Population of the Hornet, Vespa Crabro Germana Christ
Mitochondrial sequence data revealed that the probable source for the North American population was Germany. The data also suggested that the founding group was small; there was but a single mitochondrial haplotype represented for North America at the three loci investigated (COI, COII and …

Sex-Associated Mitochondrial Genes: Tools for Understanding Unionid Reproduction and Development
… might exist, each carrying one or the other mitochondrial haplotype, and it was hypothesized that the presence of either F-mt or M-mt in sperm may be involved in determination of offspring sex. I investigated this hypothesis in Bleedingtooth (Venustaconcha pleasii). Sperm samples were …

FUSARIUM MUSAE, A NEW POTENTIAL TRANSKINGDOM PATHOGEN.
… comprehensive view of F. musae genomics, while mitochondrial haplotype comparisons revealed potential cross-host transmission events. In vitro sensitivity tests revealed that F. musae is less susceptible to azole treatments than F. verticillioides, potentially offering it adaptive advantages. …

Sisters' curse: sexually antagonistic selection constrains the spread of a rare mitochondrial haplogroup
… dead end for mitochondria, mutations in the mitochondrial genome that are harmful or beneficial to males but not to females cannot respond directly to selection. Few studies have documented sex-specific selection acting on mitochondria, and its general evolutionary significance remains poorly …

Phylogenetics and Phylogeography of Moray Eels (Muraenidae)
… among these taxa are estimated from portions of mitochondrial loci <italic>cytochrome b</italic> and <italic>cytochrome oxidase subunit 1</italic>, and portions of the nuclear loci <italic>RAG-1</italic> and <italic>RAG-2</italic>. I test four sets of contrasting phylogenetic hypotheses using …

Microhabitat, microbiota, mitochondria and the epigenome shape the biparental legacy of heat exposure in a tropical arthropod
… and it also exhibits high variation in the mitochondrial genome, which was exploited to determine how mitochondrial function may influence biological responses to climate change. In Chapter 1, I present the results of a study designed to determine how microclimate variation in lowland …
