• 363. [Article] Using Natural Populations of Threespine Stickleback to Identify the Genomic Basis of Skeletal Variation

  Across vertebrates, skeletal shapes are diverse, and much of this variation appears to be adaptive. In contrast, the early developmental programs of these structures are highly conserved across vertebrates. ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Using Natural Populations of Threespine Stickleback to Identify the Genomic Basis of Skeletal Variation Author: Alligood, Kristin Year: 2017 Across vertebrates, skeletal shapes are diverse, and much of this variation appears to be adaptive. In contrast, the early developmental programs of these structures are highly conserved across vertebrates. The question then becomes where in the conserved genetic programs of skeletal development does variation lie to direct diversity? In threespine stickleback, rapid changes in head and body shape have been documented during repeated and independent invasions of oceanic fish into freshwater habitats in regions deglaciated approximately 13,000 years ago. However, recent research indicates that similar phenotypic and genetic divergence can occur in decades. A remaining challenge is to link stickleback population genomic variation to causal genes that underlie such rapid phenotypic evolution. Here I use genome wide association studies (GWAS) in natural populations of stickleback to uncover genomic regions that contribute to variation of two dermal bone derived traits, lateral plate number and opercle shape. The decrease of lateral plate body armor and change in opercle bone shape, important for feeding mechanics, are classically associated with freshwater divergence. GWAS has recently begun to be used in natural populations but is still under scrutiny for performance among different populations. Using a population of phenotypically variable stickleback in Oregon, GWAS proved an effective method to uncover genomic regions and genetic variants known to contribute to lateral plate number and opercle shape, as well as new genomic regions and candidate genes not previously implicated in phenotypic variation. Although successful, using similar methods on decades old stickleback populations in Alaska revealed the challenges that accompany controlling population structure created by strong natural selection. Together, I found that although lateral plate number and opercle shape rapidly evolve in a coordinated fashion during adaptation from marine to freshwater environments, phenotypic variation is largely driven by independent genetic architectures. However, in very rapidly evolving populations, despite this independence of genetic architecture, the genetic variants contributing to the traits co-localize to similar genomic regions. This finding could be either biological or methodological which highlights the promise and limitations of using GWAS to identify genetic variation that gives rise to phenotypic diversity. This dissertation includes unpublished co-authored material.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Affective and Moral Roots of Environmental Stewardship: The Role of Obligation, Gratitude and Compassion Author: Markowitz, Ezra Year: 2012, 2014 Environmental issues such as climate change and habitat loss pose significant challenges to existing political, legal and financial institutions. As these challenges have become clearer in recent years, interest in understanding the psychological, cultural and moral motivators of environmental stewardship has grown. Recent research within the social sciences--particularly psychology, sociology and communications--has revealed numerous intra- and interpersonal processes and mechanisms that shape whether, how and to what extent individuals and communities engage with the environmental problems they face. In this dissertation, I integrate research from these and other fields to examine the role that affect, identity and morality play in driving individual-level concern about and response to environmental challenges. Across three chapters (which present results from eight empirical studies), I attempt to answer a series of core research questions, including: (1) What is the role of affect in motivating active engagement with environmental issues? (2) What factors shape recognition of problems such as climate change as morally relevant? (3) What can we learn by studying the interaction of affect and morality in the context of environmental conservation? (4) What are the limits of the affective and moral judgment systems in motivating environmental concern and action? In Chapter II (`Is climate change an ethical issue?'), I show that relatively few people identify climate change as a moral issue, that such perceptions are shaped in part by individuals' beliefs about the causes of the problem, and that perceived moral obligation predicts behavioral intentions. In Chapter III (`Who cares about the future?'), I further examine the affective roots of environmental moral beliefs and demonstrate that feelings of gratitude towards past generations enhance individuals' perceptions of responsibility towards future generations. Finally, in Chapter IV (`Are pandas like people?'), I find limits to the role of affect in motivating beneficent action on behalf of non-human others. Together, these three chapters provide novel and actionable insights into some of the factors that shape individual-level environmental stewardship. This dissertation includes both previously published sole-authored (Chapter II) and unpublished co-authored (Chapter IV) material.
