Comparing the Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Sport Fishery Using Age and Spawning Composition and Social Media.
Dowiarz, Samantha A. (East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)The goal of this study was to compare aspects of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) (Mitchell 1814) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) (Wilson 1811) life history while also providing supplemental information on their age ... -
Comparison of a Traditional Teaching Model to the SCALE-UP Teaching Model in Undergraduate Biology: A Mixed Method Study
Mears, Samantha (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This project compared a SCALE-UP teaching model to a traditional teaching model. Traditional teaching is now considered a poor motivator for student performance and interests, and the SCALE-UP model was proposed to combat ... -

Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
O'Donnell, Brittany (East Carolina University, 2014)There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ... -
Components of Reproductive Isolation between Subspecies of an Annual Plant
Arthur, Evan B. (2014)Reproductive isolation is required in the divergence of species. The components of reproductive isolation are separated into either ecological or genetic components. In plants these include: habitat, temporal, pollinator ... -
Consequences Of Long-Term Fertilization on Wetland Microbial Function
Koceja, Megan (East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Anthropogenic disturbances have led to increased deposition of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) into soils. Nutrient enrichment of soils is known to increase plant biomass and also increase rates of microbial litter ... -
CONSEQUENCES OF SALINIZATION ON CARBON AND NUTRIENT RELEASE FROM A RESTORED COASTAL FORESTED WETLAND
Goehrig, Tori J (East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)Given that wetlands provide important ecosystem services, such as improving water quality and protecting inland regions from storms, it is necessary to understand how sea level rise and climate change will alter their ... -
Conservation and Expression of SNF2 Proteins in Chondrus crispus
Caudell, Ethan, K (2014)The SNF2 families of ATP-dependent helicases are the central catalytic subunits for chromatin remodeling complexes. The most widely studied is the multisubunit SWI/SNF complex, which has been found in plants, yeast, and ... -
Conservation and Immunogenomics of the Endangered White-winged Duck
Foote, Dustin J (East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)White-winged Wood Ducks (WWD) are an endangered species native to southeast Asia. Efforts to conserve the species via captive breeding have been hindered because captive populations appear to be highly susceptible to avian ... -
Conspecific pollen precedence and its contribution to speciation in Triodanis perfoliata
Modzik, Adrian (2015)Speciation is the process by which one species diverges into two distinct species. To fully understand speciation, it is important to understand reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation, the inability of two individuals ... -
Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Wright, Daniel Shane (East Carolina University, 2012)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ... -
Contribution of Milk components on Protein Aggregation
Lor, Kong Peng (East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Protein aggregation is a known health hazard that has been implicated in more than 50 human diseases. These diseases have been linked to lifestyle as they mostly prevail in the western world. Besides environmental factors ... -
Control of maize development by microRNA and auxin regulated pathways
Wilson, Jessica (East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)Plant architecture and inflorescence architecture, in particular, are major determinates of yield. Plant architecture is dependent upon the activity of meristems. Meristems are vital to plant development because they not ...
