Developmental pathway alterations in the stress axis of chickens exposed in ovo to an emerging environmental contaminant
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-13)Pharmaceutical and personal care products are present in the natural environment by way of the wastewater stream. They are persistent in the environment and have bioaccumulative abilities that threaten the health of both ... -
Developmental Patterns of Cleistogamy and Chasmogamy in Triodanis perfoliata
(2015-05)Some plants exhibit mixed mating, in which individual plants utilize both cross and self-fertilization. Dimorphic cleistogamy is one form of mixed mating. In plants that display dimorphic cleistogamy, both chasmogamous ... -
The Devonian West Falls Formation, implications of sedimentation controlled by preexisting structures, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2012)The Devonian (Frasnian) aged West Falls Formation in West Virginia contains gamma-ray signatures that have been interpreted to indicate sedimentation within a foreland (foredeep) basin. The West Falls Formation includes ... -
