The role of visual perception in the hopping locomotion of rhinella marina.
(Wheaton College (MA)., 2018)Hopping is a saltatory form of locomotion utilized by a diverse range of species across the animal kingdom. The Cane Toad, Rhinella marina, is a common model used to examine this movement, due to its ability to sustain ... -
Small pond water chemistry and algal ecology : a study of two eutrophic bodies.
(Wheaton College (MA)., 2018)Anthropogenic contamination of water bodies with excess nutrients and road salts has resulted in cultural eutrophication and freshwater salinization throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States. This study focuses ... -
The structure and composition of functionally specialized skeletal muscle in the cane toad (rhinella marinas).
(Wheaton College (MA)., 2018)This study examines the structure and composition of functionally specialized skeletal muscle in the cane toad (Rhinella marinas). Contributing to the suggestions of previous studies, my yearlong research exhibits a ... -
Quantitative analysis of gene expression in longfinned zebrafish.
(Wheaton College (MA)., 2018)For years, researchers have studied how organ and appendage sizes are tightly regulated to produce species-characteristic proportions. The Schleier zebrafish is a mutant zebrafish that is characterized by elongated fins ... -
Molecular variation and gene expression of toll like receptor 22 in atlantic killifish, fundulus heteroclitus.
(Wheaton College (MA)., 2018)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a type of transmembrane I protein that play a key role in the innate immune system. Variation in immune system genes such as TLRs may be a reflection of environment and pathogen co-evolution. ...
