Impact of Vitamin E Deficiency on Hepatic Gene Expression of CRAL_TRIO Family Proteins in a Premier Vertebrate Animal Model

Creator:: Watt, Alexander T.
Abstract:: Vitamin E (vitE) is a group of lipid-soluble antioxidants- of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active and only form considered to be an essential nutrient. Through preferential binding and trafficking, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) regulates the concentration of vitE in the body. The impact of vitE deficiency on...

Using The MPA Guide to Better Understand Global Marine Conservation Efforts

Creator:: McArthur, Madeleine G.
Abstract:: Across the globe, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been established to protect biodiversity, sustain fisheries, and preserve cultural resources. However, there exist broad differences among MPAs with respect to their establishment stage and protective regulations, making it difficult to quantify how much ocean protection is actually occurring. This thesis utilizes...

Investigating synergistic effects of climate and land-use change on the pollination of a tropical plant, Heliconia tortuosa

Creator:: Dowd, Claire E.
Abstract:: Loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate and land-use change may have implications for pollination services. Disruption to phenological synchronicity or a reduction in the overlap in species distributions of plants and their pollinators may reduce floral resources to pollinators, forcing them to move farther distances. If pollinators...
