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 ...
ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS ALTER STEROID TRANSPORT PROTEINS AND STEROID FREE AND BOUND FRACTIONS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
The effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the development of sexually dimorphic characteristics in vertebrates have been studied extensively for over sixty years. Throughout this time, studies have focused ...
VOCAL COMMUNICATION AND ACOUSTIC MONITORING OF THE KING RAIL (Rallus elegans)
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-02)
Rare and elusive species present a challenge for researchers, and are consequently often overlooked in evolutionary and behavioral studies. The King Rail, Rallus elegans, is a secretive marsh bird considered globally ‘Near ...
Purifying Scorpion Antarease from E. coli
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Vesicular trafficking is a system of intracellular transport that allows for the distribution and secretion of molecules. In the pancreas, normal secretory processes have been found to be interrupted by Antarease, a ...
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on the Pharyngeal Pumping and Neurological Behavior of C. elegans
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-02)
Cogent data regarding the effects of manufactured zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on human health and other organisms is limited. With the prominence of manufactured ZnO - NPs increasing rapidly in recent years, the ...
Mechanisms of germ cell development in Drosophila oogenesis.
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)
Germ cell development requires interplay between factors that control cell fate and division. Early in their development, germ cells are an interconnected group of mitotically dividing cells. Key regulatory events then ...
STICKLEBACK COLOR FLUCTUATION OVER THE BREEDING SEASON: AN IN DEPTH FIELD STUDY
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)
The coloration of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is well studied in the field of evolution, mainly with regard to the role of sexual selection (Ostlund-Nilsson et al., 2006; Foster et al., 2008; Hendry ...
Describing Nitrogen Dynamics in Eastern North Carolina Waterfowl Impoundments by Combining Field-Scale and Laboratory-Scale Based Approaches
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-01)
Waterfowl impoundments are wetlands that are hydrologically managed to provide food and habitat for migratory bird populations. Certain impoundment types have recently been found to export nitrogen (N) loads during seasonally ...
Control of maize development by microRNA and auxin regulated pathways
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)
Plant architecture and inflorescence architecture, in particular, are major determinates of yield. Plant architecture is dependent upon the activity of meristems. Meristems are vital to plant development because they not ...
Carbon Budget of an Eastern North Carolina Pocosin Following Nutrient Gradient Manipulation
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-06)
Wetlands store ~25-30% of the earth's soil pool of carbon. Seventeen percent of the US' wetlands are found in North Carolina (NC) where 70% of NC's freshwater wetlands are pocosin peatlands. Pocosins are known for thick ...
