Molecular ecology of hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata in the Seychelles

Phillips, KarlUniversity of East Anglia2013

… genetics are an invaluable tool in whole-organism biology, allowing the indirect investigation of life history traits and evolutionary processes that are otherwise unobservable. In this thesis, I apply molecular genetic techniques to the study of the hawksbill sea turtle Eretmochelys …

Feeding kinematics of the grotto salamander, Eurycea spelaea

Grigsby, MelannieWake Forest University2009

All larval salamanders that have been studied capture prey using inertial suction feeding, and the kinematics were at one time thought to be highly stereotypical. Many salamanders have been studied, but the life history of Eurycea spelaea, the grotto salamander, is unique among the troglobitic …

Evaluation of Colloidal Stability and Ecotoxicity of Metal-based Nanoparticles in the Aquatic and Terrestrial Systems

Pokhrel, Lok R2013

… lower toxicity than their ions against multiple organisms. This study showed that particle size, surface properties, and ion release kinetics of AgNPs modify following release into aquatic environment, suggesting potential implications to ecosystem health and functions, and that caution be …

Apoptotic markers in ejaculated human spermatozoa

Brooks, Nicole LisaUniversity of the Western Cape2005

The role of male germ cell death in spermatogenesis is an important one as it removes dysfunctional or genetically damaged germ cells and is necessary to maintain an optimal germ cell to Sertoli cell ratio. The formation of the bloodtestis barrier requires the elimination of excessive germ cells …

Partial GSK3 knockdown improves muscle performance in mdx mice: investigating the cellular mechanisms

Marais,Amélie Annie ThérèsaBrock University2025

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by an X-linked mutation to the dystrophin gene that primarily affects boys. The absence of functional dystrophin protein leads to muscle wasting and weakness that progressively worsens over time with affected boys typically …
