An assessment of the polytypic status of the Namib darkling beetles Onymacris unguicularis and Onymacris rugatipennis
(2014)The southern African beetle genus Onymacris (family Tenebrionidae) comprises 14 species, six of which are polytypic. Despite longstanding research on the physiological and behavioral adaptations of these desert beetles, ... -
Bacteria of a feather floc together: Microbial interactions and function within iron-oxidizing bacterial communities
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)The microaerophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria are highly charismatic, forming bright orange structures called iron mats in low flow creeks and streams, in road-side ditches, and marshes. Yet, the study of the microbial ... -
Behavioral and genetic divergence among wild and domesticated populations of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) have been the subject of extensive neurological and behavioral research having served as the dominant model for vocal learning over half a century. Learned vocal communication, or vocal ... -
BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF GOBIOSOMA BOSC IN RESPONSE TO VISUAL IMPLANT ELASTOMER (VIE) TAGGING
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)The naked goby (Gobiosoma bosc) is a small benthic fish that inhabits western Atlantic estuaries, where it ranges from Massachusetts to Mexico. Previous work has found limited gene flow between and among populations of G. ... -
Behavioral syndromes and their effect on dispersal in Notonecta irrorata
(East Carolina University, 2018-04-23)Dispersal is an important life-history characteristic for many organisms, including in the genus of back-swimming insect Notonecta. The propensity to disperse is a behavior that might be affected by an individual's other ... -
Benthic Biocriteria Assessment of the Lower Roanoke River, North Carolina: A Final Report to Weyerhaeuser Paper Company
(East Carolina University, 1993-10)Recent changes in environmental monitoring procedures of industrial activities suggest that future environmental assessments will be made using biocriteria methodology. Benthic macroinvertebrates have been the most often ... -
Benthic Invertebrate Utilization of Man-Made and Natural Wetlands
(East Carolina University, 1990-04)The benthic invertebrate communities of man-made and natural oligohaline wetlands were studied over time with the objectives of: (1) comparing faunal utilization of man-made and natural systems; (2) determining the rate ... -
Bichir HoxA Cluster Sequence Reveals Surprising Trends in Ray-Finned Fish Genomic Evolution
(East Carolina University, 2004-01)The study of Hox clusters and genes provides insights into the evolution of genomic regulation of development. Derived ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii, Teleostei) such as zebrafish and pufferfish possess duplicated Hox ...
