Abstract: <p>The endangered North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) has been internationally protected from whaling since 1935 but recovery has been slow compared to the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) due to anthropogenic mortalities and poor reproduction. Prey availability, genetic variability, and alleles of genes associated with reproductive dysfunction have been hypothesized… more

Comparative phylogeography in conservation biology: unravelling the evolutionary histories of disjunct and invasive species around the Laurentian Great Lakes

Name(s): Creator (cre): Ciotir, Claudia Elena, Thesis advisor (ths): Freeland, Joanna, Degree committee member (dgc): Dorken, Marcel, Degree committee member (dgc): Wilson, Christopher, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University

Abstract: <p>Phylogeographic histories of taxa around the Great Lakes region in North America are relevant to a range of ongoing issues including conservation management and biological invasions. In this thesis I investigated the comparative phylogeographic histories of plant species with disjunct distributions and plant species with continuous distributions around the Great Lakes region; this is a… more
