Detecting subtle variation in two cryptic primate families (tarsiidae & lorisidae) through morphology and genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Cryptic species look morphologically similar but in fact are several different species lumped together. This is problematic as it hinders conservation efforts and makes it challenging to infer the evolutionary history of ... -
Genetic and maternal effects on neonatal survival in the western lowland gorilla
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Quantitative genetic analyses of primate life history traits provide valuable evolutionary insights with conservation and biomedical relevance. Analyzing the proportion of variation in neonatal survival influenced by genes ... -

Population history at the microscale : craniometrics of the Cayo Santiago macaques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Being able to understand the effects of relatedness on adult cranial morphology has implications for inferring population histories, and for informing us about the influence of social behaviors on these patterns of population ...
