Components of Reproductive Isolation between Subspecies of an Annual Plant
(2014)
Reproductive isolation is required in the divergence of species. The components of reproductive isolation are separated into either ecological or genetic components. In plants these include: habitat, temporal, pollinator ...
Delayed Self-Fertilization in Triodanis perfoliata
(2014)
Self-fertilization is a reproductive technique that allows a plant to produce offspring even when pollinators may be scarce. Utilizing the process of delayed selfing, a species is with the benefits of both cross-pollination ...
Analysis of a 41-year data set : Environmental influences on the fish assemblages of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
North Carolina both historically and currently maintains one of the most productive fishery resource basins in the nation. However, fish stocks are spatially and temporally variable in abundance and distribution in estuarine ...
Multifunctional experimental assessment in a newly established Mediterranean restored marsh : marsh elevation, carbon accumulation and pollutant concentration reduction
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Delta of the Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain) is among the most important marsh areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea, highly valuable both economically and ecologically. Fluvial sediment reduction by dams in a relative ...
Educational engagement and the environment: Investigating service learning in the nonhuman sciences
(2014)
Classic definitions outline service learning as engaging students in experiential education where learning goals are reached when service activities are combined with reflective assignments. In an effort to integrate ...
Response of Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) at Different Life Stages to Flooding and Salinity
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Baldcypress are dominant trees in forested coastal wetlands. As sea levels rise, it is important to increase our understanding of how increased salinity and flooding will affect forested coastal wetlands. This study combined ...
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 ...
A study of composition, abundance, and fatty acid profiles of zooplankton in Albemarle Sound and Chowan River, North Carolina during spring and early summer
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River, North Carolina, river herring (alewife and blueback herring) once comprised a commercially important fishery; however, this fishery has since collapsed and a moratorium on river ...
A Synthesis of Red Drum Feeding Ecology and Diets from North Carolina and South Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The trophic interactions of the red drum Sciaenops ocellatus have been previously researched. However diet data on the largest adults (>750mm TL) are very limited. As fisheries management moves towards a goal of multi-species ...
Characterizing the Expression Pattern of miR167-Regulated ZmArf3 and ZmArf30 in Maize Inflorescences
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Plant growth and development depends on the activity of meristems, pools of stem cells that generate leaves and other organs. Maize (corn) produces two inflorescences, the tassel and ear, which are patterned by a series ...
