(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
plasticity as a metric for the process of learning, such as time latency (longer it takes a toad to succeed, the more likely they will be successful) and the behavior displayed during the task as an indication of behavioral flexibility for decision making...
Phylogenomics of orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi : trees, diversity, and the pursuit of symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
the remaining aims of my Community Sequencing Proposal with the Joint Genome Institute by analyzing the 15 fungal reference genomes I generated during my PhD. Together these chapters are the start of a life-long research project into the evolution and function...
