Title: The local and landscape features associated with roost attendance and nesting success in urban black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) populations.
Author: Partridge, Hannah
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Geography, Ecology
Description: Land cover changes that result from increasing urbanization alter habitat type, structure, and resource availability on local and global scales. Vultures provide important ecosystem services including disease management and nutrient cycling, makin...

Title: Synthesis and Reactivity of Six-Membered N-Heterocyclic Chalcogenones
Author: Flanagan, Jerrod
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Chemistry, Inorganic
Description: The synthesis and coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic thione (NHT) and selone (NHSe) ligands containing a saturated pyrimidine ring and bulky aromatic substituents on the nitrogen atoms is described in this thesis. To further understand the e...

Title: Microbial Mutations - Accumulation in Microfluidics and Collateral Sensitivity
Author: Turner, Nathan
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics
Description: Mutations are a primary source of genetic variation and a major driving force in evolution by influencing survivability (fitness), genetic disease, and the development of complex traits such as antibiotic resistance. However, studying the mutation...

Title: Impervious Cover Thresholds of the North Carolina Piedmont Fish Assemblage
Author: Webster, Patrick
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Geodesy, Ecology, Natural resources--Management
Description: Researchers have placed emphasis on quantifying and identifying ecological thresholds to study biological responses to urbanization. As watersheds become urbanized, they exhibit a systemic pattern of degradation that disrupts the natural biogeoche...

Title: Evaluating Foraminifera as a Tool for Recreating Historical Landscapes and Verifying Cartographic Accuracy at Fort Fisher, North Carolina
Author: Di Bari, Sofia
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Geodesy, Environmental sciences, Marine biology
Description: The research in this thesis focused on the use of Foraminifera to determine paleo-subenvironments and to quantify changes in the subenvironments through time at Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Historical maps were assessed with respect to the subenvi...
