M. Rockwell Parker Biology James Madison University Biography Publications Institution JoVE Articles M. Rockwell Parker The Parker lab studies the chemical ecology of reptiles, especially snakes, and uses a variety of experimental approaches to understand the mechanisms of chemical signal production. We integrate techniques from behavioral ecology, endocrinology, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry to determine how pheromones can be altered and ultimately modify receiver behavior. Garter snakes are the model organism we use to decipher these mechanisms, and we apply our findings to help solve problems centered on invasive reptiles in the U.S. Publications Sex and Seasonal Differences in MRNA Expression of Estrogen Receptor α (ESR1) in Red-sided Garter Snakes (Thamnophis Sirtalis Parietalis) General and Comparative Endocrinology. 10, 2018 | Pubmed ID: 29807033 Feminization of Male Brown Treesnake Methyl Ketone Expression Via Steroid Hormone Manipulation Journal of Chemical Ecology.
