Going the Distance: Effects of Exercise Partner Sex and Attractiveness on Performance and Health Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-05)
This study aimed to determine whether or not the presence of a potential mate would influence partnered exercise performance. It is known that people are more likely to maintain exercise routines when they exercise with ...

THE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL-SPIRITUAL HEALTH OF ACTIVE DUTY WOMEN: SERVICE MEMBERS IN NEED OF SERVICE
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Given the growing number of women who serve in the military, it is critical that mental health clinicians, medical providers, researchers, and policy makers are aware of the unique biological, psychological, social, and ...
Cdc6 expression represses E-cadherin transcription and activates adjacent replication origins
(2011-12)
E-cadherin (CDH1) loss occurs frequently in carcinogenesis, contributing to invasion and metastasis. We observed that mouse and human epithelial cell lines overexpressing the replication licensing factor Cdc6 underwent ...
Arthropod Phylogenetics in Light of Three Novel Millipede (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) Mitochondrial Genomes with Comments on the Appropriateness of Mitochondrial Genome Sequence Data for Inferring Deep Level Relationships
(2013)
Background
Arthropods are the most diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, but their phylogenetic relationships are poorly understood. Herein, we describe three mitochondrial genomes representing orders of millipedes for ...
Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
(2015-12)
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton () fiber early development
(2016-02)
TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ...
Digits Lost or Gained? Evidence for Pedal Evolution in the Dwarf Salamander Complex ( Plethodontidae)
(2012)
Change in digit number, particularly digit loss, has occurred repeatedly over the evolutionary history of tetrapods. Although digit loss has been documented among distantly related species of salamanders, it is relatively ...
Experimental design and statistical rigor in phylogenomics of horizontal and endosymbiotic gene transfer
(2011)
A growing number of phylogenomic investigations from diverse eukaryotes are examining conflicts among gene trees as evidence of horizontal gene transfer. If multiple foreign genes from the same eukaryotic lineage are found ...
MicroRNA Expression Analysis in the Cellulosic Biofuel Crop Switchgrass () under Abiotic Stress
(2012)
Switchgrass has increasingly been recognized as a dedicated biofuel crop for its broad adaptation to marginal lands and high biomass. However, little is known about the basic biology and the regulatory mechanisms of gene ...
