MONITORING FISH SPAWNING LOCATIONS AND MARINE MAMMAL SOUNDS WITH PASSIVE ACOUSTIC RECORDER ON A WAVE GLIDER
(2019-07-08)
Remote observations of marine animal behavior have one distinct advantage over direct observations: the observer is not present to disturb the animals. There are no vessel noises, no diver’s bubbles, no people present that ...
Long-Term Impacts to the Federally Permitted For-Hire Headboat Fishery in the Gulf of Mexico Following the 2010 British Petroleum-Deepwater Horizon ("BP") Oil Disaster
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
To quantify possible long-term impacts from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, this study analyzed data procured from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's mandatory Southeast ...
RIVER HERRING ENVIRONMENTAL DNA: ESTIMATING RATES OF SHEDDING, DECAY, AND TRENDS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
River herring, (Blueback Herring [Alosa aestivalis] and Alewife [A. pseudoharengus]), were once abundant in North Carolina waters and were an economically important fishery but their populations across their ranges are ...
MANIPULATION OF FLOODING AND NUTRIENTS INFLUENCES PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS AND WETLAND FUNCTION
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
The largest global stocks of organic carbon are in soils, where plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass at higher rates than soil organic carbon is lost through decomposition and microbial respiration. Specifically, ...
Investigating candidate genes for an association with skin color pattern in the mimic poison frog Ranitomeya imitator
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive traits can help us better understand their evolution. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, is native to Peru. Like many other species of poison frogs, it has aposematic ...
Chartacterizating the stigma transcriptome of leptosiphon jepsonii
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The majority of angiosperm species are hermaphroditic, containing both male and female reproductive organs on the same plant. This introduces the possibility of reproducing through self-fertilization (selfing) in flowering ...
Can otolith microchemistry be used to identify spawning stocks and characterize the life history of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris)?
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)
Highly migratory and diadromous fishes present an array of challenges to fisheries managers. This is particularly true when stocks extend across management borders and occupy multiple management jurisdictions. It is valuable ...
Investigating the Microbial Communities Associated with Aluminum Alloys 2024 and 7075
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-17)
Aluminum (Al), one of the most versatile, cost-effective, and appealing metals for use in construction, has no known biological function. Al alloys in aquatic environments provide a surface for attachment and can be ...
Identification of a Potential RNAzyme in Brucella abortus with Heme-Dependent Peroxidase Activity
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)
Bovine brucellosis is of significant concern to the U.S. cattle industry and has not been controlled by vaccination in some areas of the world. The inability to control this pathogen is currently a serious public health ...
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 ...
