Development of sex-specific differences in Drosophila melanogaster neurons

Creator:: Duong, Huong T.
Abstract:: Many diseases cause a heavier burden on women than on men; however, treatment guidelines are based largely on data on men (NCBI, 2012). It becomes obvious that certain differences in genetics between men and women account for specific sex-related diseases, but there is too spare research focus on that issue....

The Role of Circadian Transcription Factors in Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Expression

Creator:: Gombart, Zoë J.
Abstract:: Circadian regulation is essential for many physiological functions, from sleep/wake patterns to hormonal rhythms. While the brain’s biological clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), likely plays a role in reproductive rhythms, it remains unknown if intracellular circadian clocks elsewhere contribute to the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates pituitary...

Oxidative Stress Response Genes: A Circadian Connection?

Creator:: McAllister, Marisa C.
Abstract:: Circadian clocks are internal mechanisms regulating many physiological processes. Research suggests that the circadian clock may regulate repair of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but molecular pathways from the clock to ROS repair are not known. The gene cncC, known in mammals as Nrf2, and its repressor...

The Interaction Between the fruitless Gene and Complex Behavior in Drosophila

Creator:: Humphrey, Whitney M.
Abstract:: CantonS wild-type flies were used to determine sex-specific differences in the daily locomotor activity patterns in males and females. Under light entrainment, when flies are kept in a 12:12 light-dark condition, both males and females showed bimodal activity with a morning peak around lights-on and an evening peak around lights...

Modification of Teleost Visual Feeding Range Model for Cuttlefish: A Visual-Systems Comparison

Creator:: Ebel, Rebekah E.
Abstract:: With human activity causing increases in turbidity in coastal marine waters, it is of economic and ecological importance to understand how this increase will affect organisms living in these areas. At most risk may be predators, such as many teleosts and cephalopods, reliant on vision to detect and capture prey....

The Impacts of Voluntourism in a Rural Community in Nepal

Creator:: Hamby, Taylor R.
Abstract:: Voluntourism is a field of service work that combines volunteer work and leisure travel. With its increase in popularity in recent years, research concerning the impacts of voluntourism in developing countries is lacking. This study aims to discover the impacts that volunteers have on communities, specifically in Nepal. Using a...

How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

Creator:: Ormand, Elora J.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

Creator:: Morris, Taylor H.
Abstract:: This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

Developmental effects of micro- and nanoscale tire particles and recycled rubber on zebrafish

Creator:: Mottern, Taylor H.
Abstract:: Plastics have become an essential part of everyone lives, found in almost every product made today. Tires only make up a fraction of these products but as their use increasing so does the microplastics that flake off. Many studies have evaluated the toxic effects of tire particles on aquatic environments...

Partial Characterization of the Danio rerio and Xenopus tropicalis MT-‐Ox Enzyme Involved in Gadusol Biosynthesis

Creator:: Roemelt, Taylor
Abstract:: Ultraviolet (UV)-protective compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAA) are critical for the survival of marine organisms exposed to high-solar radiation. A chemically similar compound, gadusol, was discovered in eggs of the atlantic cod in 1980, and was originally thought to be derived from MAAs that had been ingested. However,...
