1.
Dinsmore C, Bronikowski A, Sparkman A, Davis C, Munoz D, Avery J, et al.
Ecology . 2025 Jan; 106(1):e4523. PMID: 39835992
Phenotypic plasticity in body growth enables organisms to cope with unpredictable paucities in resource availability. Growth traits influence survival and reproductive success, and thereby, population persistence, and early-life resource availability...
2.
Combrink L, Bronikowski A, Miller D, Sparkman A
Ecol Evol . 2021 Apr; 11(7):3239-3250. PMID: 33841780
Changing environments result in alterations at all levels of biological organization, from genetics to physiology to demography. The increasing frequency of droughts worldwide is associated with higher temperatures and reduced...
3.
Evans K, Brummett L, Combrink L, Holden K, Catalina G, Farrar S, et al.
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2020 Dec; 253:110874. PMID: 33348020
Interactions between the environment and maternal and embryonic physiology can have critical ramifications for early-life phenotypes and survival in a range of species. A major component of the environment-maternal-embryonic nexus...
4.
Hoekstra L, Schwartz T, Sparkman A, Miller D, Bronikowski A
Funct Ecol . 2020 Sep; 34(1):38-54. PMID: 32921868
1. The field of comparative aging biology has greatly expanded in the past 20 years. Longitudinal studies of populations of reptiles with a range of maximum lifespans have accumulated and...
5.
Waits D, Simpson D, Sparkman A, Bronikowski A, Schwartz T
Mol Ecol Resour . 2019 Oct; 20(1):308-317. PMID: 31660689
Reptiles and other nonmammalian vertebrates have transcriptionally active nucleated red blood cells. If blood transcriptomes can provide quantitative data to address questions relevant to molecular ecology, this could circumvent the...
6.
Sparkman A, Clark A, Brummett L, Chism K, Combrink L, Kabey N, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2018 Jul; 8(12):6169-6182. PMID: 29988440
Many oceanic islands harbor diverse species that differ markedly from their mainland relatives with respect to morphology, behavior, and physiology. A particularly common morphological change exhibited by a wide range...
7.
Sparkman A, Chism K, Bronikowski A, Brummett L, Combrink L, Davis C, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2018 Apr; 8(6):3330-3340. PMID: 29607028
A thorough understanding of the life cycles underlying the demography of wild species is limited by the difficulty of observing hidden life-history traits, such as embryonic development. Major aspects of...

Gangloff E, Chow M, Leos-Barajas V, Hynes S, Hobbs B, Sparkman A
Behav Processes . 2017 Jun; 142:156-163. PMID: 28648696
An animal's life history, physiology, and behaviour can be shaped by selection in a manner that favours strong associations among these aspects of an integrated phenotype. Recent work combining animal...
9.
Gangloff E, Sparkman A, Holden K, Corwin C, Topf M, Bronikowski A
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2016 Dec; 205:68-76. PMID: 28011409
Characterizing the baseline and stress-induced hormonal, metabolite, and immune profiles of wild animals is important to assess the impacts of variable environments, including human-induced landscape changes, on organismal health. Additionally,...

Sparkman A, Bronikowski A, Williams S, Parsai S, Manhart W, Palacios M
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2014 Apr; 174:11-7. PMID: 24713520
Glucocorticoids and leukocyte ratios have become the most widespread variables employed to test hypotheses regarding physiological stress in wild and captive vertebrates. Little is known, however, regarding how these two...
