Geographic structure of Marco Polo sheep in the Pamir Region of Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Tajikistan
Principal Investigators:
Gordon Luikart and Richard Harris
Objectives: We are addressing issues of connectivity, corridors,
isolation, loss of genetic diversity, and possible barriers to movement among
sub-populations of Marco Polo argali (Ovis ammon poli) throughout the 4 country
transboundary region (Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan)....

Stress physiology during life history transitions in Laysan Albatross
Rachel S. Sprague, Ph.D. Wildlife Biology
Advisor: Creagh W. Breuner
Objectives: I am interested in the role of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones as
a proximate mechanism mediating life-history transitions. Specifically, I am
investigaging the action of GC hormones in a long-lived seabird with an extreme
life-history strategy, the Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutablis)
