Predator Out of Place : The Differential Impacts of Native and Non-native Crayfish on Bufo Tadpoles
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Predators have been shown to alter important fitness components (larval period, mass at metamorphosis, and overall survivorship) of larval anurans. Uncommonly studied predators of tadpoles include crayfish. Both native and ...
Does history matter? : An experimental assessment of whether dragonfly colonization history affects insect biodiversity within ephemeral ponds
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Current interactions among species could have an important role in controlling biodiversity. Some studies, however, have shown that the particular time a species arrives at a site during the process of community assembly ...
Bioenergetics and Trophic Impacts of Invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Indo-Pacific lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles, are non-native marine fish with established populations in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Rapid population growth threatens native fish ...
Priority effects of overwintered Rana tadpoles on larval Southern toad (Bufo terrestris Bonnaterre)
(East Carolina University, 2010)
In natural ecosystems, the order of species arrival can impact the development of the community. In the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the Carolinas, wetland ponds exhibit a wide range of hydroperiods, ranging from ponds that ...
Are Marine Migrations of Striped Bass Genetically Pre-determined? : An investigation of Albemarle Sound-Roanoke River Striped Bass Migratory Patterns
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Striped bass, Morone saxatilis, is one of the most thoroughly studied anadromous fish species in the United States, with records governing the management of the species dating back to the late 1600s. However, management ...
