JOBS Jessica Ellen Garb Postdoctoral Researcher Department of Biology University of California, Riverside Research Publications Curriculum Vitae Media Coverage Research I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Hayashi Lab at UC Riverside's Department of Biology. My research employs empirical approaches that integrate systematic biology, molecular evolution and ecology. I am currently investigating gene families encoding proteins of special functional significance to spiders: silks and venoms. Globally, spiders comprise ~39,000 described species and the use of venom and silk proteins defines this immense invertebrate order. The direct link between these gene families and their ecological utility make them excellent models for investigating the role of genomic changes in organismal adaptation and lineage diversification. My work specifically focuses on characterizing the sequence diversity of these proteins and determining their phylogenetic distributions. This information is utilized to pinpoint the origins of genes especially critical to organismal ecology and to examine how such events relate to biological diversification at varying hierarchical levels. A component of this work also involves the development of novel molecular markers for species phylogenies using genomic resources. These interests stem from my graduate training in systematics and evolution, primarily focusing on the diversification of insular spiders.

Research Interests: Current Research Although the evolution of cooperative behaviour has been well explored, very little is known of the genetic mechanisms controlling its development, of the extent to which individual differences in cooperative contributions have a heritable component or of the evolutionary mechanisms maintaining variation in natural populations. The long-term study of Kalahari meerkats has shown that there are large individual differences in contributions to cooperative behaviour and my PhD aims to investigate, for the first time in a cooperative mammal, the genetic basis of this variation. Previous Research Chemoreception forms a major part of the interaction between organisms and their environment; habitat and mate choice may generate prezygotic reproductive isolation and ultimately the formation of separate species.

Byline: ANI London, March 27 (ANI): A new research has determined that warm summers are dramatically reducing populations of daddy long legs, which in turn is having a severe impact on the bird populations which rely on them for food. The new research, by a team of bird experts, including Newcastle University's Dr Mark Whittingham, spells out for the first time how climate change may affect upland bird species like the golden plover - perhaps pushing it towards local extinction Local extinction is where a species (or other taxon) ceases to exist in the chosen area of study, but still exists elsewhere. This phenomenon is also known as extirpation . Local extinctions are contrasted with global extinctions. by the end of the century.

About Us News FAQ Sponsors ... Contact Us Search this site: Home Brown house spiders Brown house spiders in Brown house spiders The brown house or cupboard spider is a relative of the redback spider. The species Steatoda grossa is most common in Australia. Brown house spiders are quite similar in size and body shape to redbacks, but not in coloration. It is often found under furniture or in other dark places inside houses and is very common in urban gardens. Bites from this spider may cause headache, nausea and small localized skin blisters. There have been several cases of redback-like envenomations recorded. Both appeared to improve after the administration of redback spider antivenom. It is possible that some presumed redback spider bite presentations to doctors may in fact be caused by Steatoda spiders.

Although I made a couple of brief forays to Nantucket in the 1980’s to document the distribution of the Massachusetts endemic moth, the water-willow borer (Papaipema sulphurata) on the island; my main connection with the Nantucket moth fauna was through Frank Morton Jones and Charles P. Kimball’s 1943 publication, “The Lepidoptera of Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard Islands, Massachusetts”. This publication includes the moth data from Charles William Johnson’s 1930 pioneering publication, “A list of the Insect Fauna of Nantucket Massachusetts”. Both of these works were publications of The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association, and, unbeknownst to the authors, provided the baseline for the period when sheep grazing and wood cutting maintained an almost treeless landscape; a landscape that would change over time.
