Analysis of variants of Dnmbp, a Putative Modifier of Cecr2 and Neural Tube Defect Susceptibility Gene
DownloadSpring 2017
One of the most common groups of birth defects are neural tube defects (NTDs), affecting about 1 out of 1000 established pregnancies. NTDs arise during neurulation in vertebrates, preventing proper formation of the brain and/or spina cord. NTDs are characterized by an unfused neural tube, which...

Anatomy and evolution of the Galápagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus (Squamata, Iguanidae), with a new phylogeny of Iguania and considerations about aquatic adaptations in extant and fossil lizards
DownloadFall 2021
Amblyrhynchus cristatus, the marine iguana, is unique amongst the ~7000 species of living limbed lizards as it has successfully evolved adaptations that allow it to live in both terrestrial and marine environments. This species is endemic to the Galápagos Archipelago and has evolved a specialized...

Anatomy, biomechanics, and evolution of the archosaur ribcage with implications for the evolution of ventilation
DownloadFall 2023
Extant birds and crocodylians are modern representatives of Archosauria, a group of amniote vertebrates with a long evolutionary history that may be traced back to the Triassic Period. On the paths to extant bird and crocodylians, early archosaurs diversified and occupied many niches available...

Fall 2019
Here I describe new oviraptorosaur specimens and add to our knowledge of the anatomy, growth, behaviour, ecology, and evolution of oviraptorosaurs. Oviraptorosaurs were a diverse group of theropods known from a long history of discovery and a relatively abundant fossil record. Most analyses...

Annual Dispersal of Endangered Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia): Implications for Estimating Survival
DownloadSpring 2022
The migratory population of Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in Canada has undergone significant declines over the past five decades. Monitoring of Burrowing Owl includes estimation of annual survival which is predominantly obtained using mark-recapture data. Survival is calculated based on...
