Cloning, expression, and characterization of a membrane progestin receptor and evidence it is an intermediary in meiotic maturation of fish oocytes
(East Carolina University, 2003-03-04)The structures of membrane receptors mediating rapid, nongenomic actions of steroids have not been identified. We describe the cloning of a cDNA from spotted seatrout ovaries encoding a protein that satisfies the following ... -
Co-teaching Biology 1100 with Dr. Jason Gee
(2014)For my Senior Honors Project, I participated in co-teaching an Introductory Biology, or Biology 1100, class alongside department faculty member Dr. Jason Gee. My overall goals for this project were to better master the ... -
Coevolutionary analysis of Appalachian Xystodesmid millipedes and their symbiotic Mesostigmatid mites
(East Carolina University, 2010)Mites (Acari) form symbiotic relationships with many animal taxa including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, mollusks, and arthropods. They are frequently found living on millipedes, and it has often been ... -
Color Pattern Evolution in the Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus): Functional, Mechanistic and Synthetic Approaches
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Studies of animal color patterns have provided important insights into the nature of evolution and adaptation. Coloration may be the target of multiple evolutionary processes, including natural selection, intersexual ... -

Comparative genomics of cyclin-dependent kinases suggest co-evolution of the RNAP II C-terminal domain and CTD-directed CDKs
(East Carolina University, 2004-09-20)Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a large family of proteins that function in a variety of key regulatory pathways in eukaryotic cells, including control over the cell cycle and gene transcription. Among the ... -
Comparing the Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Sport Fishery Using Age and Spawning Composition and Social Media.
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)The goal of this study was to compare aspects of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) (Mitchell 1814) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) (Wilson 1811) life history while also providing supplemental information on their age ... -
Comparison of a Traditional Teaching Model to the SCALE-UP Teaching Model in Undergraduate Biology: A Mixed Method Study
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This project compared a SCALE-UP teaching model to a traditional teaching model. Traditional teaching is now considered a poor motivator for student performance and interests, and the SCALE-UP model was proposed to combat ... -
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ...
