Global climates are changing and the rate of change is expected to increase in the next century. Researchers predict that temporary ponds will be affected, resulting in shorter average hydroperiods (the amount of time a ...
Neurological Effects Of A Single Low Level Blast Overpressure Exposure : Behavior And Micro RNA Mechanisms Of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury In A Rodent Model
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The increased use of explosive devices within warfare and acts of terrorism has allowed blast overpressure exposure (BOE) to become a significant concern. The most common wound sustained by BOE is blast-induced mild traumatic ...
Reproductive Plasticity In Two Subspecies Of A Cleistogamous Plant, Triodanis Perfoliata
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Dimorphic cleistogamy is an intriguing reproductive strategy in which a plant produces both closed (cleistogamous), obligately selfing flowers and open (chasmogamous) flowers. Phenotypic plasticity in the production of ...
