Adaptation in a Changing World: Evolutionary mechanisms of salt tolerance in a coastal amphibian
Albecker, Molly (East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)In order to predict evolutionary outcomes of environmental change on populations in nature, we need an improved understanding of the biological mechanisms that affect whether organisms will adapt to a changed environment. ... -
Adaptive responses to salinity stress across multiple life stages in anuran amphibians
Albecker, Molly; McCoy, Michael W. (2017-08-01)Background In many regions, freshwater wetlands are increasing in salinity at rates exceeding historic levels. Some freshwater organisms, like amphibians, may be able to adapt and persist in salt-contaminated wetlands by ... -
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
Albecker, Molly; Vance-Chalcraft, Heather D. (2015-12-07)Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
