Marguerite Butler Ph.D., 1998 Washington University in Saint Louis Major research areas: evolutionary ecology of lizards and damselflies, sexual dimorphism, adaptive radiation Major research interests: My research questions are centered on two themes: 1) adaptive evolution, or how environmental variation produces diversity among species, and 2) sexual variation, particularly the evolutionary and ecological factors involved when sexes show different patterns of adaptation. I usually work at the interspecific level, comparing differences among species in order to infer evolutionary processes. My work takes place in both the field and the lab, and may include a variety of approaches including: morphology, behavior, physiology, molecular genetics, and ecology within a phylogenetic comparative framework. I am also active in theoretical and methodological aspects of phylogenetic methods, especially in developing statistical foundations for phylogenetic tests. I am deeply interested in adaptive radiations, and have two study systems: the Anolis lizards of the Caribbean, and more recently, the Megalagrion damselflies of Hawaii. Both are closely related but ecologically diverse groups which are ideal for phylogenetic comparative studies of adaptation. In my most recent project, I am studying the physical effects of pregnancy (gravidity) using the green iguana (Iguana iguana) as a model, with plans to expand taxonomically in the future. Students wishing to work in my lab are free to work on research questions closely allied to mine or not. In either case, students are expected to take the lead in developing projects independently, consulting with me as needed.

There are 2 separate experiments presented by Losos. The 1994 paper is an example where they had predictions of evolutionary response in 2 species of lizards, but did not see any change over time. The 1997 Nature paper presents the results of a separate long term experiment using one of the species of Anolis lizards, where they claim to see adaptive evolution. The Case paper is a review of the 1997 Losos study.

Body Size and Coexistence in Desert Rodents: Chance or Community Structure? Ecology 63(2):391:400. This paper tries to ascertain if body size is a determining factor in species coexistence in rodents without using phylogeny. The results of their analysis depended on if they included only the granivore guild in their analysis or if they did a more inclusive analysis adding other guilds. In this case it appears that evidence for community structure is scale dependent. Giannasi, N.; Thorpe, R. S.; Malhotra, A.

They conclude that size assortment alone was insufficient to explain the observed patterns of body size differences, but a

Defending the Christian faith beginning with Genesis AiG Worldwide Creation Education Prayer Good News ... About Us Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Latin Lizards: Logos vs Lottery by Carl Wieland First published in: Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal Today, the various species of Anolis lizard on Puerto Rico include ones small enough to forage for insects at the ends of branches, also a greenish variety better able to hide in the leaves, and a brownish version well camouflaged on tree trunks and the ground. Just as for Darwin's finches, it can reasonably be inferred (and creationists could agree) that all the present-day species descended from an original species (possibly only one pair) invading the island. It is not difficult to conceive how such specialization occurred, with the lizards adapting via selection acting only on the genetic information present in the original population. The originally less-specialized 'ancestor' Anolis lizard was most likely medium-sized and able to forage for insects both on the trees and on the ground, with the information for both green and brown colouring already present in varying degrees. The splitting off of such daughter populations, each with less information (as a whole population, not necessarily as individuals), does not involve any 'evolution' in the sense of new genetic information arising. For a smaller number of kinds on the Ark to have given rise to the more numerous descendant species of today, processes like this would have had to be operative on a substantial scale.

Back to the Syllabus 12.Predator and Prey Interactions Index Vision and Motion Detectors Predator Motion Detectors Sensory Exploitation of a Prey's Motion Habituation Mechanisms Sonar ... The Evolution of Aposematic and Mullerian Mimicry Vision and Motion Detectors Predator Motion Detectors Many prey have evolved to be cryptic and so the challenge for many predators is locating unmoving and concealed prey. Development of a search image greatly aids in locating cryptic prey during a birds active foraging flight. Other organisms that forage actively use olfactory cues to locate concealed prey. However, the challenge for many predators is not so difficult. Many predators are sit-and-wait rather than actively foraging Sit-and-wait predators remain motionless for long periods of time. When a prey item moves in their receptive field, the predator lunges with great speed (relative to the prey) and snaps it up. We will consider the visual system of a classic sit-and-wait predator, the toad. The key to the toads motion-based prey detector is the receptive field , the fundamental unit of its perception machinery. Each of the thousands of receptive fields in the toad eye consist of the following components:

St. Eustatius Marine Park Photos: Martin Moxter Information for divers Q: What is the Marine Park? A: The St. Eustatius Marine Park consists of four areas that are protected by local law. The southern part of the Marine Park (from Crooks Castle all the way to White Wall) is a restricted fishing zone. The three other areas: the historical wreck sites in the bay, STENAPA Reef (a modern wreck site) and the northern Marine Park are open for both fishing and diving. The Marine Park started operations on the first of January 1998. We hope that measures we take now to conserve this exquisite environment will mean that the coral reefs will be here not only for us to enjoy but for future generations also. Q: How can you visit the Park? A: The law on St. Eustatius states that diving for nonresidents is only allowed under local guidance. This is to ensure that no historical artifacts or marine life are removed from our waters. It implies that you have to contact a local dive operator if you wish to dive. If you are going to dive in the Marine Park however, there is an admission fee to be paid. This fee can be paid at the Marine Park office, which is located at Lower Town close to the harbor. Or, you can pay it through the dive operator. The Marine Park fees are: US$ 6.00 per dive

Amphibase Research Overview: Tbx gene Evolution: T-box structure PFAM T-box entry Tbx text here Anolis: Integrating detailed studies of ecology and evolution with modern techniques of developmental genetics and molecular biology has the potential to be one of the most informative approaches to understanding the origins of biological diversity and morphological disparity. Anolis lizards, found throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America, are a well-studied genus and will serve as an ideal model system for integrating these disparate fields. For example, anoles have diversified at an exceptionally high rate producing more than 400 species in a relatively short period of time. This radiation has been well characterized and as a result, evolutionary relationships, ecological interactions, physiological and biomechanical capabilities and behavior are well understood. Interestingly, these lizards have undergone remarkable, repeated patterns of parallel evolution in the Greater Antilles where a number of species have adapted to similar habitats both morphologically and behaviorally. Understanding the developmental and molecular basis for these adaptive radiations proves to be an exciting avenue of research that will likely yield new and unexpected results.

Susan L. Perkins HOME TEACHING RESEARCH LINKS Click here for a list of all Refereed Publications RESEARCH My research centers on the evolution and biogeography of parasites and exploits the powerful techniques of molecular genetics to pursue issues that were formerly difficult or impossible to resolve in these taxa. Some of my work has also involved the study of the coevolution of parasites and their hosts. Parasite-host systems are particularly intriguing because two or more species coevolve in an antagonisitic fashion, the parasite being completely dependent on its host(s), and the host(s) selected to eliminate the relationship. I have used the malaria parasites ( Plasmodium and related genera), as my model system. These parasites are very diverse (fully 170 species of Plasmodium have been described), world-wide in distribution in many tropical, subtropical, and temperate habitats, infect a great range of vertebrate hosts (birds, mammals, and reptiles), and exhibit a substantial diversity of life history traits. This great diversity of parasite-host systems allows cross-species comparisons and phylogenetic analysis to approach important problems in biology. Molecular techniques have recently been developed for use with human malarial parasites; I have adapted these laboratory methods to study the great range of parasites in Plasmodium , related genera, and more distantly related apicomplexan parasites.
