Bradley's Former Laboratory Associates

		Nevin D. Durish Teaching Assistant M.S. student, Zoology, Texas Tech University B.S., Zoology,Texas Tech University nevin.d.durish@ttu.edu My interests include molecular systematics of new world rodents, specifically members of the genera Sigmodon and Peromyscus which are the focus of several current projects. The phylogenetic relationships of these taxa are being investigated through the use of cytochrome b as well as several nuclear markers which are being developed. Other projects include an ongoing study involving the spread of hantaviruses within Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands. Additionally, I have taken interest in electron microscopy and its use in examining morphology of Streblid bat flies.

My Master's thesis involved a population genetics study of two species of prairie dogs; Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) and Utah prairie dogs (C. parvidens). I am also interested in the possible uses of microsatellites to address population genetics questions. Currently at Tech, I am working on my dissertation which involves a population genetic analysis of four species of woodrats (Neotoma albigula, N. fuscipes, N. macrotis, and N. stephensi) from the southwestern United States. I am also working on several systematic projects aimed at identifying unrecognized or cryptic rodent species.

		Andrew O. Stallings Undergraduate Research Assistant B.S. student, Texas Tech University, Biology andrew.o.stallings@ttu.edu I am interested in studying rodent-borne disease such as Hantavirus and Arenavirus. Especially the transmission and evolution of each. My current research involves assisting a Ph.D. student with his work on Oryzomini rodents from Honduras.
