ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS ALTER STEROID TRANSPORT PROTEINS AND STEROID FREE AND BOUND FRACTIONS
Mogus, Joshua Philip (East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)The effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the development of sexually dimorphic characteristics in vertebrates have been studied extensively for over sixty years. Throughout this time, studies have focused ... -
Environmental Development of the External Genitalia
Maurizio, Ciro (East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects in the world. The incidence of hypospadias has nearly doubled over the past 50 years and now occurs on average in 1 in 125 male newborns each year. Hypospadias is a ... -

Evaluating a Predator-Induced Phenotype in a Mixed Species Context
Baker, Eleanor Anne (East Carolina University, 2021-07-22)Phenotypic plasticity, a single genotype producing multiple phenotypes in response to environmental change, is crucical to our understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Adaptive plasticity describes phenotypic ... -
Evaluating Land Use Effects On The Stinging Sea Nettle : Chrysaora Quinquecirrha: Are Shoreline Hardening Structures Creating New Habitat For A Nuisance Species?
Sassano, Nina L. (East Carolina University, 2015)There is considerable debate as to whether global jellyfish populations are experiencing an overall population growth due to human activities or have been pulsing in a long-term natural rhythm. Empirical data to support ... -
Evaluating Spatial and Temporal Overlap Between Larval Alosines and Potential Zooplankton Prey in Lower Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
Binion, Samantha M. (East Carolina University, 2011)Spatial and temporal overlap between zooplankton and larval American shad (Alosa sapidissima), river herring (alewife A. pseudoharengus and blueback herring A. aestivalis), and hickory shad (A. mediocris) was evaluated in ... -
Evaluating the Role of Habitat Complexity in Structuring Seagrass Communities
Trackenberg, Stacy Nicole (East Carolina University, 2023-07-18)Biogenic coastal habitats such as salt marshes, seagrasses, and oyster reefs, support diverse faunal communities and can serve as nursery areas by enhancing the abundance, growth, and survival of juvenile fish and crustaceans. ... -

Evidence for an association between genetic and acoustic variation in a poison frog
Dye, Ashley M (East Carolina University, 2023-07-21)Acoustic signaling is a key component in both intra- and inter-specific interactions. These signals can be used in many contexts, including mating behavior and agonistic interactions. Poison frogs are of particular interest ... -
