A review of Salsuginus seculus (Platyhelminthes: Monogenean) in the western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) from Texas
Vasquez, GizellWestern mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) are cosmopolitan in warmer climates and can serve as a host for a number of parasites. The gill monogeneans from this host are especially interesting because of the very low species ... -
An assessment of the genetic structure of a striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) population across an urban landscape
Brashear, Wesley (2013-08-23)Striped skunks act as reservoirs of many zoonotic diseases and are highly adept at persisting in urbanized landscapes in relatively high densities. A better understanding of the interaction between skunks and the urban ... -
Molecular systematics of bonneted bats (Molossidae: Eumops) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences
Bartlett, Sarah (2012-05-12)Previous understanding of the relationships among the species of bats in the genus Eumops has been based on phenetic and cladistic analyses of morphological data. The objective of this study was to construct a phylogeny ... -
Morphological and molecular variation in Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townseendii) in West Texas
Tipps, Teresita (2012-05-12)Previous studies of Townsend's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii) from Big Bend National Park (Brewster Co.) have been limited and inconclusive regarding the expected subspecific identity of specimens from this region. ... -
Phylogenetic relationships of five members of the family Vespertilionidae (Chiroptera) from Malaysian Borneo
Pacheco, Pablo Ricardo Rodriguez (2013-05-24)Several studies have been conducted to refine the historically unclear phylogeny of chiropterans within the family Vespertilionidae. However, the phylogenetic affinities of some taxa remain poorly resolved. My objective ... -
Phylogeography of the cottonmouth, Agkistrodon piscivorus, using AFLP and venom protein profiles.
Strickland, Jason L. (2011-05-25)The objective of this study was to examine population structure in cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus) using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and compare genetic and venom protein profiles in Texas. AFLP ... -
THE ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF ARTIBEUS AND OTHER FRUGIVOROUS BATS WITHIN THE IWOKRAMA FOREST IN GUYANA, SOUTH AMERICA: AN INVENTORY OF DISPERSED SEEDS
Horsley, Thomas Wilson (2014-05-02)Artibeus species are primarily frugivores, and through the ingestion and defecation of consumed fruits, they play a critical role in their environment through the dispersal of early successional and pioneer species ...
