Fish assemblage and habitat use in North Carolina and Virginia waters during the annual Cooperative Winter Tagging Cruise, 1988-2013
Osborne, Jillian H (East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)Long-term ecological research can be valuable in understanding ecosystem function and species requirements, allowing managers to better regulate and enforce strategies for continued use of the resource, commercially and ... -

Fishing For The Evolutionary Bases Of Female Ornamentation
Yong, Lengxob (East Carolina University, 2015)Sexual dimorphism, or phenotypic differentiation of the sexes, is widespread amongst animals. It is understood mainly in the context of sexual selection, i.e. selection on mating success, with such selection typically ... -
Folic acid elicits diverse effects over all major life stages and body systems
Marella, Swapna Sahiti (East Carolina University, 2018-04-25)Over several decades, the vitamin supplement folic acid has been praised for its ability to reduce neural tube defects in the developing embryo. Many studies show that folic acid plays a vital role in the reduction of ... -
Food and feeding habits of the spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias overwintering off the coast of North Carolina and the effects on the marine community
Bangley, Charles W. (East Carolina University, 2012)Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) are small, highly migratory sharks that occur in large numbers in North Carolina nearshore waters between November and March. This species has long been considered a pest by commercial ... -

FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
Williams, Marcus Jermaul Jawanza (East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)Abstract Steroid hormones such as estrogen depend on receptors like Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor (ERβ) to mediate their slow “genomic” functions, and G-Protein coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) to ... -
The Fur-like regulator Mur controls the expression of the gene encoding the manganese transporter MntH in Brucella abortus 2308 in response to manganese availability
Menscher, Evan A. (East Carolina University, 2011)Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative, [alpha]-proteobacterium that causes bovine brucellosis, a prevalent zoonotic disease in many areas of the world. Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that survives and ... -
Gene Expression and the Evolution of Reduced Sexual Dimorphism in a Threespine Stickleback Color Trait
Newsome, William Burns (East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)Elucidating the processes and mechanisms responsible for sexual dimorphism has been a central task for evolutionary biologists since Darwin first proposed the concept of sexual selection. However, our understanding of the ... -
Gene Expression Divergence Between Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia Guttata) Subspecies And Gene Regulation In Hybrids
Davidson, John H. (East Carolina University, 2015)Since the publication of Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of Species, birds have been important model organisms for studies regarding evolutionary processes such as sexual selection and speciation. In this study, I will ... -

The Genetic Basis of Pigmentation Variation in Domesticated Zebra Finches
Pathak,Shaivya (2014)The zebra finch is the most common estrildid finch native to Australia and Southeast Asia. The zebra finch has also been domesticated and is now a common pet and experimental model system for research. As part of the ...
