Abstract:
There are sixteen species of the red algal order Rhodymeniales reported from North Carolina waters, but there has been confusion over their taxonomic rank and classification. Phylogenetic analyses reveal a number of species differences, suggesting that Asteromenia is not a monotypic genus.

Abstract:
Pine voles are rodents found in the Eastern part of the United States, and occupy a range of habitats including dry hardwood forests and orchards. A study conducted on pine voles in Henderson County, North Carolina found that reproductive success, pup survivorship, and pup growth did not differ between different types of habitat.

Abstract:
In order to determine the effect of removing rough fish on the population growth rate of game species, biologists must first work on removing those rough species, namely grindle, carp, and gar from test areas. An operation of nets is placed to remove the fish.

Abstract:
Researchers affiliated with UNC’s Laboratories for Reproductive Biology are working on a vaccine that could serve as birth control for men. They discovered a protein critical to movement of sperm cells. Targeting the protein could stop sperm from making it to the female reproductive tract.

Abstract:
Microbiologist Bob Johnston’s work with mutant versions of a virus started off as basic research but lead to a vaccine that can save Latin American children from encephalitis. His lab now has a version that produces a green fluorescent protein which highlights and traces viral paths.

Abstract:
On Axel Heiberg Island, adventure was found for the author in ways that went beyond being part of a team collecting samples for astrobiological research. It was found in adjusting to the absence of modern conveniences easily taken for granted, such as comfortable indoor plumbing. It was also found in realizing that “habitable” becomes redefined by habituating in the North Pole.
