Food and Feeding of Young Striped Bass in Roanoke River and Western Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, 1984-1991
(East Carolina University, 1992-07)
Evaluating Land Use Effects On The Stinging Sea Nettle : Chrysaora Quinquecirrha: Are Shoreline Hardening Structures Creating New Habitat For A Nuisance Species?
(East Carolina University, 2015)
There is considerable debate as to whether global jellyfish populations are experiencing an overall population growth due to human activities or have been pulsing in a long-term natural rhythm. Empirical data to support ...
A CRISPR/Cas9 Toolbox for Multiplexed Plant Genome Editing and Transcriptional Regulation
(2015)
The relative ease, speed and biological scope of CRISPR/Cas9-based reagents for genomic manipulations are revolutionizing virtually all areas of molecular biosciences, including functional genomics, genetics, applied ...
Population Structure Of River Herring In Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, Inferred From Geometric Morphometrics And Otolith Shape Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and Blueback Herring Alosa aestivalis, collectively known as River herring, use tributaries of the Albemarle Sound, North Carolina as spawning and nursery habitats. Stocks of these anadromous ...
A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF MICROBES IN SERPENTINITE-HOSTED SUBSURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
Over the last two decades, serpentinizing environments have been studied with regards to the biogeochemistry of these habitats, but significantly less is known about the microbiology within these environments. Serpentinization ...
Determining the Chemical Structure of Brucebactin: The Sole Complex Siderophore Utilized by the Pathogenic Bacterium Brucella Abortus
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease that affects many around the world. There are over half a million new cases each year and prevalence rates in some areas of the world exceed 10 new cases per 100,000 in the ...
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
Comparison of a Traditional Teaching Model to the SCALE-UP Teaching Model in Undergraduate Biology: A Mixed Method Study
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
This project compared a SCALE-UP teaching model to a traditional teaching model. Traditional teaching is now considered a poor motivator for student performance and interests, and the SCALE-UP model was proposed to combat ...
THE EFFECTS OF ZOOPLANKTON DISPERSAL ON COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY OF TEMPORARY PONDS
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-10)
The dispersal of individuals among habitat patches is thought to have an important effect on ecological communities as it can influence both population dynamics and community assembly. Though much work on dispersal has ...
Assessing The Monophyly Of Red Algae And Green Plants Via Core Conserved Informational Genes
(East Carolina University, 2015)
For well over a century the existence of a monophyletic relationship between red algae and green plants has been debated. Many scholars have sought to address this issue, however, a consistent solution to the problem has ...
