Studies on the glutathione dependent protection of the cell nucleus against lipid peroxidation

Creator:: Tirmenstein, Mark A.
Abstract:: Lipid peroxidation is believed to be an important process in the development of cellular injury. In addition to the degradation of biological membranes, increasing evidence indicates that lipid peroxidation can alter the structure and function of DMA. The present study examines the peroxidation of nuclear membranes and the capacity of...

Coral-reef fishes : insights into larval dispersal and invasion ecology

Creator:: Pusack, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Because many coral-reef fishes are observable in situ, are amenable to transplantation, have small home ranges and short generation times, they provide a excellent system to investigate many topics within general ecology, fisheries biology, and conservation biology. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the coral-reef fishes system...

Candidate Causes, Consequences, and Estimation of Individual Diet Specialization

Creator:: Coblentz, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Diet variation among individuals within populations is widespread. Often diet differences among individuals are attributable to obvious differences among individuals such as age, sex, or morphology. However, growing evidence suggests that individual diet variation is also common among seemingly identical individuals within populations. This phenomenon has been termed individual diet...

Effects of Predator Introductions on Population and Community Dynamics

Creator:: Ingeman, Kurt E.
Abstract:: There is increasing awareness that human activities are altering the ways that natural systems operate and that local shifts in species composition and abundance can lead to abrupt and irreversible global change. Therefore, understanding the processes that buffer biological communities from critical shifts and how our actions affect natural stabilizing...

Societal Responses to Using Genetic Engineering for Mitigating Chestnut Blight and Restoring American Chestnut Trees

Creator:: Petit, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...

Invasive Pacific Lionfish Alters Native Community Interactions on Atlantic Coral Reefs

Creator:: Kindinger, Tye L.
Abstract:: Biological invasions have been identified as one of the prominent drivers of global environmental change. In particular, invasive predators typically have substantial negative effects on populations of native prey, even driving species to extinction in extreme cases. However, beyond direct predatory effects, little is understood regarding the specific mechanisms by...

Vitamin E and the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein during zebrafish embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W.
Abstract:: Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...

Conservation volunteer tourism at a reserve in Ecuador : effects of perceptions, discourse, and motivations on human-environment relations

Creator:: Grimm, Kerry E.
Abstract:: The number of people traveling to other countries to volunteer for conservation or humanitarian projects has increased dramatically in the past three decades. Despite substantial interest in volunteer tourism, few researchers have examined: (a) the role of promotional material (e.g., brochures, internet websites) in motivating volunteers; (b) factors that attract...

Behavior and Ecological Effects of Invasive Lionfish on Atlantic Coral Reefs and Seagrass Beds

Creator:: Benkwitt, Cassandra E.
Abstract:: Although only a minority of introduced species become established and have noticeable consequences in their new communities, some can displace native species, alter food webs, and cause local extinctions. Studying these invasive species can provide new insights into basic ecological questions as well as inform management strategies. Pacific lionfish (Pterois...
