The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization
(2015-04-24)Background The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies. ... -
Genomic Database Conundrum: Widespread Misannotation of rRNA Sequences as Protein Sequences
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-11)The genomics revolution introduced affordable technology capable of rapidly analyzing and comparing massive amounts of biological sequence data. Using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) program on the National ... -
GENRE FLUIDITY AND WRITING IDENTITY: ACTIVIST WRITERS, QUEER FEMINIST RHETORICS, WORKING FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)My dissertation proffers genre fluidity as a term to describe the rhetorical acts of shifting across and moving among genre conventions by blending and/or transgressing genre boundaries. Genre fluidity is defined as two ... -
GEOARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF DUNE FORMATION AND ARTIFACT DEPOSITION AT BARBER CREEK (31PT259)
(2009-03)The stratified prehistoric site at Barber Creek, located on a relict sand dune in eastern North Carolina, has the potential to offer important insights into the previously poorly understood chronologies and typologies ... -
Geochemistry and Genesis of Late Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations and Metamorphosed Chemical Precipitates Spatially Associated with Pb-Zn Broken Hill-type Mineralization near the Broken Hill Deposit, Curnamona Province, Australia
(East Carolina University, 2014)Banded and massive iron formations (IFs) and garnet- and gahnite-quartz rocks are spatially associated with the giant, late Paleoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-Ag Broken Hill sulfide deposit and hundreds of minor Broken Hill-type ... -
Geographic Differences in Emergency Management Decision-Making : A Case Study of Severe Weather in the Midwest
(East Carolina University, 2014)Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous meteorological hazards on a local scale. While tornadoes can occur virtually anywhere, response--and the processes that lead to it--can vary based on location. It is the task of an ... -
GEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION PARTICIPATION AND BMI PERCENTILES : HAVE LEGAL MANDATES MADE A DIFFERENCE?
(East Carolina University, 2010)Childhood obesity in the United States of America has become a widespread epidemic. Over 30% of children ages 2 to 19 are overweight as classified by their Body Mass Indexes (BMI) (Ogden, Carroll, & Flegal, 2008). Prevention ... -
Geographically distinct but non-monophyletic morphs: Reexamining the evolution of color in Florida burrowing beetles (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae: Peltotrupes)
(East Carolina University, 2019-12-11)The genus Peltotrupes Blanchard 1888 (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae) is restricted to scrub and sandhill habitats on peninsular Florida’s ridge system. Commonly called Florida Deep Digger Scarabs, individuals excavate burrows ... -
GEOLOGY AND ORIGIN OF SAND RIDGES IN A BACK-BARRIER ESTUARY, PAMLICO SOUND, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2018-06-06)The Outer Banks of North Carolina have undergone significant geomorphic change, exhibiting varying degrees of barrier island continuity during the late Holocene. These changes affect the environmental conditions (salinity, ... -
Geology of the Castle Hayne Limestone in the Onslow Quarry, Richlands, NC
(East Carolina University, 2012)The Eocene age Castle Hayne Limestone Formation on the coastal plain of North Carolina is found throughout Onslow County and is mined at the Onslow quarry south of Richlands. This study characterizes the geology of the ... -
Geometry and construction history of a complex intrusive center in the shallow crust, Mount Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)Large igneous intrusions grow from incremental emplacement of relatively small batches of magma. The Henry Mountains have been the subject of investigation because multiple, well-exposed intrusive centers are present on ... -
Geometry and Construction History of the Copper Ridge Laccolith, Mount Ellen, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2015)The Copper Ridge laccolith is an asymmetric tongue-shaped intrusion located on the southeastern margin of Mount Ellen in the Henry Mountains, Utah. The late-Oligocene to early-Miocene igneous rocks have no syn- or ... -
Geometry and Construction of Upper Crustal Intrusions; Sawtooth Ridge, Henry Mountains, Southern Utah.
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)The plumbing systems of volcanos are commonly constructed by interconnected, upper crustal sheet intrusions (i.e. dikes and sills). Active systems and the processes that contribute to their construction are difficult to ... -
Geometry and Progressive Development of a Shallow Crustal Intrusive Complex, Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Henry Mountains of southeastern Utah are five topographic domes, each of which is a separate mid-Tertiary shallow crustal intrusive complex comprised of a cluster of component igneous intrusions. The intrusions were ... -
Geometry of the universe and its relation to entropy and information
(2013-09-16)In an effort to investigate a possible relation between geometry and information, we establish a relation of the Ricci scalar in the Robertson-Walker metric of the cosmological Friedmann model to the number of information ... -
Geomorphology of Dune Blowouts, Cape Cod National Seashore, MA
