Natal Origin of Central Southern Management Area, North Carolina Striped Bass, Inferred from Otolith Microchemistry
(East Carolina University, 2013)Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important commercial and game fish throughout North Carolina coastal waters. These fish have spawning populations present in all of the state's coastal rivers, however populations south ... -
NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPING FOR POLLINATORS ON EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SOLAR FARMS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Solar panel farms (SPFs) may be a part of a sustainable solution to pollinator decline and the loss of ecosystem services they provide. Some SPFs are seeking to landscape with diverse native seed mixes, which has the ... -

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 ... -
Nickel as a mutagen and as an enabler of EMS genotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2016-01-15)Nickel is found naturally and vital for survival of some organisms. Nickel occurs as a metal as insoluble compounds and soluble compounds. Nickel exposure has increased due to urbanization from various sources including ... -
Nicotine Controlof Germline Cell Fate in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2015-05)Nicotine dependence is the single largest cause of preventable death in the world, claiming 480,000 lives each year in the US alone, including those caused by secondhand smoke. In this study, we investigated the biological ... -
Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ... -
Nicotine exposure caused significant transgenerational heritable behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2013-09)Passive and active exposure to tobacco smoking among youth is directly associated with immediate as well as long-term health deterioration. Despite all public health policies and efforts, the percentage of teenage smokers ... -
Non-Linear Interactions between Consumers and Flow Determine the Probability of Plant Community Dominance on Maine Rocky Shores
(2013)Although consumers can strongly influence community recovery from disturbance, few studies have explored the effects of consumer identity and density and how they may vary across abiotic gradients. On rocky shores in Maine, ... -
Nonconsumptive effects in a multiple predator system reduce the foraging efficiency of a keystone predator
(2013-09)Many studies have demonstrated that the nonconsumptive effect (NCE) of predators on prey traits can alter prey demographics in ways that are just as strong as the consumptive effect (CE) of predators. Less well studied, ... -
De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparative Analysis Elucidate Complicated Mechanism Regulating Astragalus chrysochlorus Response to Selenium Stimuli
(2015-10)Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium ...
