TITLE: "Decoding alarm signal propagation of seed-harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex californicus." ABSTRACT: Alarm signal propagation through social-insect colonies provides an empirically tractable context for analyzing information flow through a natural system, with useful insights for network dynamics in other social groups, including human social networks. Here, I develop a methodological approach to track alarm spread within […]

TITLE: "Differences in the Signatures of Selection Between the Autosomes and the X Chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster." ABSTRACT: Sex chromosomes in Drosophila are found in a hemizygous state in males. Thus, deleterious mutations may be purged more rapidly on the X chromosome than on the autosomes. This purging can result in less available standing variation that can seed […]
