The Behavior and Energetics of Ritualized Weapon Use in Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda)
Green, Patrick Andrew (2018)
Contests are essential parts of an animal’s life history, as they dictate access to critical resources like mates, food, or territory. Studying how animals efficiently assess competitive ability to resolve contests is a ...

Application of Phylogenetic Analysis in Cancer Evolution
The Evolution of Adipocytes During Human Origins: An Integrative Genomic, Cellular, and Molecular Approach
Makohon-Moore, Sasha (2018)
Until recently, understanding of the evolutionary and molecular basis of many uniquely human traits has largely been hampered by the limited ability to perform experiments on, and access to samples from non-human primates. ...
Molecular, Morphological, and Functional Characterization of Pigmented Cells in the Sea Urchin Embryo
George, Andrew Nathen (2018)
This dissertation combines live imaging, embryological manipulations and computational analysis to understand the development of pigmented immunocytes in the sea urchin. Three areas received special attention: the mechanism ...
Modelling the Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics of Microbiomes within a Population of Hosts
Zeng, Qinglong (2018)
Microbial communities associated with animals and plants (i.e., microbiomes) are implicated in the day-to-day functioning of their hosts, and there has been an explosion of research on them. Much of this research has focused ...
Mortensen, Richard (2018)
Cell sheet morphogenesis characterizes key developmental transitions throughout phylogeny. As such, it plays a crucial role in developmental milestones in vertebrate morphogenesis including gastrulation, neural tube formation, ...
Minimum Requirements for Changing and Maintaining Cell Fate in the Arabidopsis Root
Drapek, Colleen E (2018)
A cell’s trajectory from stem cell to differentiation, while often portrayed as a linear progression, is best described as a network that produces a mature state through several pathways acting together. There are few examples ...
Thomas, Kate Nicole (2018)
In the deep pelagic ocean, there are no structures to serve as hiding spots, and visual interactions among animals are potentially continuous. The light environment in the midwater habitat is highly structured due to light ...
Understanding the Organization, Location, and Interactions of Actin-based Structures During Drosophila Dorsal Closure
Moore, Regan Ruth Price (2018)
Epithelial sheet morphogenesis is characterized by dynamic tissue movements, resulting in the recognition and adhesion of cells to generate a seamless epithelium. Each step is mediated by carefully organized, cellular actin ...
