Bioenergetics and Trophic Impacts of Invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish
(East Carolina University, 2010)Indo-Pacific lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles, are non-native marine fish with established populations in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Rapid population growth threatens native fish ... -
A Bioethical Consideration of End of Life Care
(2015)This project is a thesis on the bioethical considerations involved in moving a terminally ill patient to End of Life Care, commonly known as comfort care. Literature reviews have been carefully integrated, as well as a ... -
Biogeographic Characterization of Fishes from Intertidal Sandflats in Pamlico River, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)The spatial and temporal changes in fish community structure in Pamlico River, North Carolina were analyzed. Salinity and temperature are important water quality parameters influencing fish community structure in estuaries. ... -
Bioinformatic exploration of Hoxa2, Hoxb2, Hoxa11, and Hoxd11 in vertebrate evolution
(2015)The purpose of this bioinformatic project was to develop an understanding of how gene evolution shaped morphological complexity within the vertebrate lineage by evaluating protein sequence variations within hoxa2, hoxb2, ... -
