    The Nature of Defense: Coevolutionary Studies, Ecological Interaction, and the Evolution of 'Natural Insecticides,' 1959-1983 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rachel Natalie Mason Dentinger IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mark Borrello December 2009 © Rachel Natalie Mason Dentinger 2009 Acknowledgements My first thanks must go to my advisor, Mark Borrello. Mark was hired during my first year of graduate school, and it has been my pleasure and privilege to be his first graduate student. He long granted me a measure of credit and respect that has helped me to develop confidence in myself as a scholar, while, at the same time, providing incisive criticism and invaluable suggestions that improved the quality of my work and helped me to greatly expand its scope. My committee members, Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, Susan Jones, Ken Waters, and George Weiblen all provided valuable insights into my dissertation, which will help me to further develop my own work in the future. Susan has given me useful advice on teaching and grant applications at pivotal points in my graduate career. Sally served as my advisor when I first entered graduate school and has continued as my mentor, reading nearly as much of my work as my own advisor. She never fails to be responsive, thoughtful, and generous with her attention and assistance. My fellow graduate students at Minnesota, both past and present, have been a huge source of encouragement, academic support, and fun. Even after I moved away from Minneapolis, I continued to feel a part of this lively and cohesive group of colleagues.

  • SWEET-DISSERTATION-2018.Pdf
    UNTANGLING THE COEVOLUTIONARY HISTORY BETWEEN DOVES AND THEIR PARASITIC LICE BY ANDREW DONALD SWEET DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Dr. Kevin Johnson, Chair, Director of Research Professor May Berenbaum Professor James Whitfield Associate Professor Brian Allan Assistant Professor Julian Catchen ABSTRACT In host-parasite systems, any given host species can be associated with multiple types of parasites, each of which can have a unique ecological relationship with the host. However, it remains unclear how these ecological differences link to evolutionary patterns. What shapes the dynamics of a host-parasite interaction over evolutionary time? An ideal approach for addressing this question is to compare multiple lineages of similar parasites that are associated with the same group of hosts but have distinct ecological differences – or “ecological replicates.” For my dissertation, I applied this strategy by focusing on the wing and body lice of doves. These two “ecomorphs” of lice are not closely related yet exclusively parasitize the same group of hosts. Notably, wing lice have a greater capability for dispersal than body lice. Dispersal is an important ecological component of host-parasite interactions and speciation in general. The first part of my dissertation examined broad cophylogenetic patterns across the dove-louse system. I found that wing and body lice did not have correlated patterns, and body lice showed more cospeciation with their hosts. This pattern agreed with previous studies, the results of which suggested that the increased cospeciation in body lice was due to differences in dispersal ability.

  • National Associates of the National Academies
    NATIONAL ASSOCIATES OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES The National Associates Program At its meeting on February 7, 2001, the Council of the National Academy of Sciences initiated a new “National Associates” program to recognize extraordinary contributions to the National Research Council through pro-bono service to National Research Council and Institute of Medicine programs. Many dedicated individuals serve on study and oversight committees of the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine without compensation. In fact, 5,908 individuals were members of one or more of the 574 committees active in the year 2007. In addition, approximately 1,500 individuals served as reviewers of one or more reports that year. This service is highly valued, honored, and appreciated both within the National Academies and by the nation. Our work in advising government and the public on matters of science, technology, and health would not be possible without this dedicated commitment of experts to provide the nation with their wisdom and advice. The purpose of the National Associates designation is to formally recognize the extraordinary service of 903 of these individuals listed in this booklet as National Associates of the National Research Council of the National Academies. The NRC Chair designates individuals for this special honor under guidelines established by the NRC Governing Board. Membership in the Associates is for life, recognizing past service, and new designations will be made annually. September 2008 Mark R. Abbott Oregon State University Corvallis, OR H.

Women scientists and engineers face barriers to success in every field of science and engineering, a record that deprives the country of an important source of talent. Without a transformation of academic institutions to tackle such barriers, the future vitality of the U.S. research base and economy is in jeopardy. Eliminating gender bias in academia requires overarching reform now, including decisive action by university administrators, professional societies, federal funding agencies and foundations, government agencies, and Congress. If implemented and coordinated across public, private, and government sectors, the recommended actions will help to improve workplace environments for all employees while strengthening the foundations of America's competitiveness.
