A Survey of Bees in the University of Maryland Campus Area
(2021)I sampled the wild bee community in the University of Maryland campus area in College Park, Maryland for one season and combined those data with that from previous years. The protocol was modified to significantly expand ... -
SEQUENTIAL EXPRESSION OF NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR SUBUNITS SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT AND PLASTICITY OF A DROSOPHILA CENTRAL SYNAPSE
(2021)The central nervous system (CNS) of animals is arguably one of the most sophisticated instruments designed by nature, and one its cardinal components is the postsynaptic specialization. Decades of studies on the cholinergic ... -

The fossil record and taphonomy of butterflies and moths (Insecta, Lepidoptera): implications for evolutionary diversity and divergence-time estimates
(Springer Nature, 2015-02-04)It is conventionally accepted that the lepidopteran fossil record is significantly incomplete when compared to the fossil records of other, very diverse, extant insect orders. Such an assumption, however, has been based ... -
Dermestes maculatus: an intermediate-germ beetle model system for evo-devo
(Springer Nature, 2015-10-16)Understanding how genes change during evolution to direct the development of diverse body plans is a major goal of the evo-devo field. Achieving this will require the establishment of new model systems that represent key ...
