Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) Population Identification Using Geometric Morphometrics and Otolith Shape
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-05)Hickory Shad Alosa mediocris is an anadromous species of fish belonging to the Family Clupeidae, first described in 1814 by Samuel L. Mitchill. Little is known about its life history or stock status. It is unknown whether ... -
Hickory Shad Alosa mediocris (Mitchill) Stock Identification Using Morphometric and Meristic Characters
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-02)The Hickory Shad Alosa mediocris is an anadromous fish species of the family Clupeidae. Little is known about its distribution, life history, and status. Adult Hickory Shad are found seasonally during spring spawning in ... -
High Levels of Diversity Uncovered in a Widespread Nominal Taxon: Continental Phylogeography of the Neotropical Tree Frog
(2014)Species distributed across vast continental areas and across major biomes provide unique model systems for studies of biotic diversification, yet also constitute daunting financial, logistic and political challenges for ... -
High major histocompatibility complex class I polymorphism despite bottlenecks in wild and domesticated populations of the zebra finch ()
(2015-12)Background Two subspecies of zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata castanotis and T. g. guttata are native to Australia and the Lesser Sunda Islands, respectively. The Australian subspecies has been domesticated and is now an ... -

A high-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted mutagenesis in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2017-03-03)The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene expression. Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton breeding scientists. The clustered regularly ... -
Historical Ecology of Striped Bass Stocking in the Southeastern United States
(East Carolina University, 2012)Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is the most recreationally and commercially important non-salmonid fish species in the continental United States. As such, it has been exploited to the point of collapse at various points ... -
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER (HGT) AND SPHAGNUM FALLAX: A PHYLOGENETIC LOOK INTO THE OCCURRENCE, PREVALENCE, AND IMPORTANCE OF HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER IN A BOG MOSS
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-04)Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a biological process that involves any transmission of genetic material that isn't vertical in nature. HGT occurs frequently between prokaryotes and plays a significant role in prokaryotic ... -
Horizontal gene transfer of epigenetic machinery and evolution of parasitism in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and other apicomplexans
(2013)Background The acquisition of complex transcriptional regulatory abilities and epigenetic machinery facilitated the transition of the ancestor of apicomplexans from a free-living organism to an obligate parasite. The ... -
Hormone Exposure During Pregnancy and Maternal Care
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-17)It is suspected that prenatal hormones can affect maternal care, which has important implications for the neurological development of pups. To determine if the altered hormone levels affected maternal care, pregnant dams ...
