Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
Worley, Charles (East Carolina University, 2012)Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has played an important role in shaping the `tree of life'. It has promoted evolution by generating gene redundancies, which allow for more freedom in terms of allowed mutations in a genome, ... -
Lipolysis :the Atkins' Diet versus a balanced diet
Howe, Harold. -
Local and Regional Aspects of Habitat Quality Jointly Affect the Biodiversity of Ephemeral Ponds
Deans, Robert A. (East Carolina University, 2012)The biodiversity of local communities is likely affected by both local habitat quality and by the quality of the landscape surrounding the locality. In pond environments, habitat quality may be affected by the kind of leaf ... -
LOCALIZATION AND CHANGES OF NUCLEAR PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS IN ZEBRAFISH OOCYTES AND ADJACENT FOLLICULAR CELLS
Daly, Sean C. J. (East Carolina University, 2010)The nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr) is one of the major mediators for progestin signaling during oocyte ovulation in vertebrates. However, any roles Pgr may play in oocyte growth, and especially in the final oocyte ... -
Localization of the bacteriophage P1 cin recombinase promoter
Onks, David L. -
LONG-TERM FERTILIZATION AND SOIL MOISTURE INTERACT TO INFLUENCE PLANT AND BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN A LOW NUTRIENT WETLAND
Stephens, Daniya S (East Carolina University, 2022-12-20)Human activities such as urbanization and intensive agriculture modify nutrient and water cycles in significant ways. Changes to nutrient and water cycles can cause disruptions to plant-microbe mutualisms, especially in ... -
Loss of suitable habitat and phenological shifts of grouper and snapper spawning aggregations in the Greater Caribbean under climate change
Gokturk, Esra (East Carolina University, 2021-01-15)With the effects of climate change already observed in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, an understanding of the resulting changes to the environment is necessary to assess fish population status and form appropriate ... -
Macronutrient Intake of Pregnant Exercisers and Non-Exercisers
Fulcher, Kristen N. (East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)With the childhood obesity pandemic, it is vital for pregnant women to focus on healthy habits (i.e. proper nutrition, exercise) in order to ensure a positive in utero environment. Exercise during pregnancy is associated ... -

Maternal input of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) : Determining a mother's life history from its progeny in coastal North Carolina
Elking, Brie (East Carolina University, 2014)Otolith studies have become more prevalent in recent years as use has expanded from ageing to examination of migration patterns and fidelity to natal habitats, and more recently examining otoliths for possible maternal ... -
Maturation and fecundity of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Rivers striped bass (morone saxatilis) stocks in coastal North Carolina
Knight, Evan (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)The Albemarle/Roanoke stock makes up the largest contingent of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the state; however, other economically important populations exist elsewhere. The Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) ... -
Maturation, Fecundity, and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle/Roanoke Striped Bass Stock
Boyd, Jacob B. (East Carolina University, 2011)The principal striped bass, Morone saxatilis population in North Carolina, the Albemarle/Roanoke (A/R) stock has grown tremendously in size and age structure over the last twenty years necessitating an up-to-date maturity ... -
MCM10 Genetic Screen Using Drosophila melanogaster
Dinter, Heinz P (East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Genes and the proteins they encode are responsible for virtually every aspect of life. The vast array of biological processes make it difficult to identify genes to study that are relevant to human diseases. MCM10 (short ...
