A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)
Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ...
SEQUENCING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME B GENE IN THE MARION UPLANDS FLORIDA SAND SKINK (PLESTIODON REYNOLDSI)
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
The Florida sand skink (Plestiodon reynoldsi)—a small (~10 cm) lizard endemic to the peninsula—is a ‘sand-swimming’ specialist restricted to Florida scrub habitat on the state’s central highland ridges. Florida scrub has ...
Gene Expression and the Evolution of Reduced Sexual Dimorphism in a Threespine Stickleback Color Trait
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)
Elucidating the processes and mechanisms responsible for sexual dimorphism has been a central task for evolutionary biologists since Darwin first proposed the concept of sexual selection. However, our understanding of the ...
